✨Meet Rosco 🐾 Share to help us find his furever family 🏡

Rosco is healed and ready for a home! He currently lives at the clinic and is doing great here. He is a 1 year old mixed breed, and is the sweetest, happiest boy! He loves everyone, and he seems to get along with other dogs and our clinic cats well. He is polite and gentle, and has done well with Dr. Stokes young kids. He has spent most of his life outside, but in the time he has spent in the clinic he has done great with kennel training and has had no accidents inside.

He is now neutered and fully vaccinated. He does have heartworms, but he is undergoing treatment for those.

☎️ Call us at 318-269-5537 or email us at [email protected] if you or someone you know would like to meet sweet Rosco 🐕❤️🐾

Last week, we had the exciting opportunity to perform our very first CT scan on a patient — sweet Silas! 🐾❤️

Advanced imaging such as CT or MRI has historically required veterinary patients in our area to travel 2–3+ hours away to see a specialist. For Silas and his family, traveling that far simply wasn’t an option.

We saw a unique opportunity and partnered with Northeast Imaging Center to offer a local option, allowing Silas to receive advanced diagnostics close to home. Their convenient location just across the street from our clinic and their willingness to work through some kinks unique to veterinary medicine made this easy and rewarding! We were able to get answers for his family, and we are incredibly excited about the opportunity to help even more patients in our community with access to advanced imaging right here at home.

Thank you to Silas’ family for trusting us with his care, and thank you to Northeast Imaging Center for partnering with us to make this possible! ❤️

If you have visited our clinic, you have likely met our very first resident kitty, Alice! We knew we wanted a clinic cat from the very beginning, but we also felt strongly that the right one would come to us. One year ago today, not long after we opened, someone brought in a feisty little orange fluff ball that had fallen out of a vehicle driving in front of them on the high way. She had a bad upper respiratory infection and her eyes were matted closed. When she was handed to Dr. Stokes, she began hissing, spitting, and fighting to run away, but being purritoed in a blanket and offered a churu turned that attitude around within minutes, and we have loved her ever since 🥰🐈🐾

She’s social, friendly (sometimes a little spunky 😜), and loves to meet people and make friends! She loves our patients, and one of our favorite things about her is she knows when they need comfort, and she will spend her entire day laying with them ❤️

🎉🐾🥳 Help us wish Alice a very Happy Gotcha Day! We’d love for you to share any pictures you may have taken of her while visiting us! 🥳🐾🎉

Is anything more exciting than a new puppy or kitten? We think not 🥰

Puppies and kittens need several check ups during their first 6 months to make sure they are protected from dangerous viruses and parasites and ensure they are developing appropriately!

☎️ Call us at 318-269-5537 or 💻 visit us at www.theparishpetclinic.com to schedule!

✨ Meet Emily!

Emily is our lead veterinary assistant, and she keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes. She has worked alongside Dr. Stokes for three years now and has been here at The Parish Pet Clinic since the very beginning. Her favorite part of her job is her team mates. You can frequently find Emily snuggling all of the patients that are staying with us for the day in any down time she finds- she prides herself in ensuring that each of our patients are treated like she would treat her own. 🥰🐶🐈🤗

Emily enjoys reading and spends most of her free time with her sweet pup Cassie. A fun fact about her is that she buys Cassie a new toy every Friday as a tradition. Emily is a big part of who we are as a team, and we are so thankful for her leadership! 📚🐾🦴

In her free time, Alecksis loves to hunt and fish. A couple of fun facts about Alecksis is that she has a Ball Python names William Snakespeare, and she plays the trumpet in the Louisiana Tech Marching Band! 🦌🎣🎺
