This is Cliff. He was in town from New Jersey and needed a little “repair” job. Thank you Cliff for letting us be of service to you. You were an awesome patient! Safe travels to you and your humans back to New Jersey! If you’re ever back this way, stop in and give us a howl! The best to you and your family! 🐶🥰

Meet Melissa Clemons, RVT! A Purdue graduate, Melissa joined our team in February 1995. That’s more than 31 years of caring for Munster’s pets. 💛

“I have had the privilege of knowing people for the lives of 3 or 4 of their pets,” Melissa says, “watching their children grow and bring in their own pets. It has been a wild ride!”

Her favorite part of the job? Sending patients home and watching them light up and wag their tails when they see their people again. 🐾

Something most owners don’t realize: registered veterinary technicians like Melissa help pet owners make thoughtful decisions about treatment, care plans, and end-of-life care.

Her favorite task is placing IVs. Her least favorite? Cleaning ears. 👂

Thank you, Melissa, for more than three decades of care!

Meet Lisa McGill, a veterinary assistant on our Munster team for an incredible 26 years! 🐾

Lisa says pet owners are often surprised by how much goes on behind the scenes. “We run as much as a human doctor’s office or hospital,” she says.

Her favorite procedure? Abscesses. She LOVES them. Her least favorite? Anything involving eyes. 👀

Her best tip for pet owners: mosquitoes and fleas can get into gated communities too. Year-round prevention matters, no matter where you live!

At home, Lisa’s crew includes Meeko the Rottweiler, Jerry with his great wiry black coat, Olaf her cross-eyed cat, and Sven, her resident scaredy cat.

Next time you’re at Munster, say hi to Lisa! 💛

Happy Upcoming Veterinary Technician Week! 💙🐾

It’s time to celebrate the amazing veterinary technicians who dedicate their knowledge, compassion, and hearts to caring for our furry, feathered, and scaled family members! 🐶🐱🐰🦎

Vet techs are the backbone of veterinary medicine, working tirelessly behind the scenes and on the front lines to provide comfort, support, and lifesaving care to the animals who depend on us. From assisting in surgery and monitoring anesthesia to comforting nervous patients and supporting pet parents, their hard work makes a difference every single day. 🩺🐾

This week, let’s show some extra love and appreciation to the incredible veterinary technicians who give so much of themselves to help animals live healthier, happier lives. You are valued, you are appreciated, and the work you do matters! ❤️
