I’ve had plenty of burritos in my life, but a kitten “purrito” is my favorite. 😻😻😻

A proper kitten purrito has:
-maximum softness
-zero structural integrity
-unexpected claw deployment
-a 92% chance of falling asleep mid-wrap

Scientifically, wrapping a kitten in a blanket activates their “tiny emperor being carried to court” mode. 😹👑

Some of the BEST AG times ever were our Puppy Play Group days! 🐾

Picture this: a bunch of wiggly, happy puppies zooming in circles like tiny, furry toddlers… occasionally attempting to swim in the water bowl (yes, that really happened 😂)… and, most importantly, learning how to socialize and play nicely with others.

They were such a hit that we’re bringing them back!
🎉 Starting Monday, 3/2/26, AG’s Puppy Play Group is officially back in full swing!

If you’re planning to join the fun, please give us a call ahead of time. We want to make sure every puppy has the perfect playmates waiting for them.

Check out the flyer for all the details (and get ready for the cutest chaos ever)! 🐶💕

Nothing to see here… just Mick fully committed to his tomato era. 🍅

Yes, that is a tomato hat.
Yes, he insists on wearing it.
No, we did not coerce him into this produce-based lifestyle.

He has chosen this path.
We are simply supporting his dreams. 😹

Best.Day.Ever. 😻😻😻

PS. Found it was actually a strawberry hat…oops 🤣

It’s always important to stay at the top of our game—especially when it comes to lifesaving skills. 🐶🐈

We were fortunate to have two special guests join us for a CPR training session: ER doctor Dr. Wagner and ER nurse Donna. While CPR may not be needed often in general practice, when it is, it’s crucial that we have a clear, confident, and well-rehearsed plan of action. ✅

As CPR guidelines and best practices continue to evolve, we’re grateful to have the best of the best help keep us up to PAR—Prepared, Aware, and Ready. ☝🏼

Thank you, Dr. Wagner and Donna, for your time, expertise, and dedication! 🩺👩‍⚕️❤️

We hired a new receptionist. He’s friendly, outgoing, and works for treats. 🤷🏻‍♀️💯🐶🦴🌭

He’s amazing, until he barks. One more bark and he will be replaced by his brother who jumps like a dolphin and who huffs and puffs and stomps his little feet when he doesn’t get his way. On second thought, maybe we’ll stick with the humans. 💯😂🐾
