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. 💯😂🐾
