📚🐾 First Day of School… for the kids AND the pets? 🐾📚

While the kids are off with their backpacks and lunchboxes today, our furry family members might be wondering why the house is suddenly so quiet.

A new routine can be ruff — so give your pets a little extra love (and maybe a special walk or toy) while they adjust. 🐶🐱💛

If your pet starts acting anxious, not eating, or just seems “off,” call us for an appointment. We’re here to make sure tails keep wagging all year long!

Happy First Day of School, Jessamine County — from your friends at AHON ✏️🐾

🎆🎇 July Pets of the Month: Derby Dew & Dotson! 🎇🎆
Red, white, and WOOF! 🇺🇸 We’re celebrating the stars and stripes this month with two all-American cuties who are stealing hearts and cuddling their way into our spotlight! ❤️🐾💙

🐶 Derby Dew is the king of snuggles and sunshine! He's a sweet young pup who knows the power of a perfect nap and a little fresh air. With his soulful eyes and gentle spirit, Derby Dew reminds us that every day is worth wagging your tail for. ☀️🐕

🐱 Dotson is a black-and-white bundle of purr-fection! This handsome tuxedo kitty is equal parts snuggly and sassy, and he LOVES his humans (especially bedtime snuggles and chest cuddles 💤💗). He’s a firecracker of fun with a heart of gold!

Help us give a big Yankee Doodle round of appaws to our July stars! 🌟 Come by the clinic and check out their display, or drop a 🐾 in the comments to show them some love!

💥Feral & Free—just like our favorite raccoons and this wild bunch of front desk ladies! 🇺🇸🐾

Nothing says team spirit like matching shirts, a whole lotta sass, and an undying love for animals (and energy drinks, let’s be honest). We’re ringing in the 4th of July a little early in true chaotic, good fashion.

We’re just missing Suzanne today—she took the day off to be feral & free in her own way! Don’t worry, we’re saving you a shirt and a couple sassy remarks for tomorrow. ❤️🎆🦝

🐾✨ June was PAW-sitively perfect! ✨🐾

We were absolutely spoiled with cuddles, kisses, wiggles, and purrs all month long! From squishy puppy bellies to the tiniest kitten toe beans, June brought us a whole parade of adorable new faces—and we loved every single one. 💛

If you brought your little fur baby to see us last month, thank you for letting us be part of their journey! These early visits are so important for healthy, happy lives—and also for stealing our hearts. 😍

Drop a photo of your June baby in the comments—we’d love to see how they’re growing already! 📸🐶🐱
