🎃 The 3 Stages of Wearing a Halloween Costume… According to Noodles! 🐾

Stage 1: Confusion 🤔
Stage 2: Resistance 🙄
Stage 3: Acceptance 🧡

Meet Noodles, Dr. Jay's dog, who found himself transformed into a pumpkin thanks to Dr. Jay's daughter! 😂

We're not entirely convinced Noodles volunteered for this particular Halloween adventure, but we think he makes a pretty adorable pumpkin!

🐱💕 Happy National Cat Day from the cats who have the Abbey team wrapped around their little paws!

They rule our homes, steal our favorite seats, demand attention on their terms, and somehow get away with absolutely everything. 😹

Today, we're sharing some of the fabulous felines who keep our team entertained when we're off the clock. We may spend our days caring for your pets, but at home, our own cats are definitely the ones in charge!

🐾 Now it's your turn! Share a photo of your cat in the comments and tell us their name. We'd love to meet the little bosses running your households!

Happy National Cat Day from all of us at Abbey Animal Hospital! ❤️

🐈‍⬛ Happy National Black Cat Day! 🖤

We had a very special visitor at Abbey today! Meet Minnie, our receptionist Bree’s beautiful black cat, who stopped by for a checkup. 🐾

Of course, we couldn't resist giving her ALL the cuddles! Amanda and Ethan were more than happy to help, and we're pretty sure Minnie got more attention than she bargained for! 😂❤️

Black cats are pretty special, and today we're celebrating all of them!

Do you have a little house panther at home? 🐈‍⬛ We'd love to see them! Share a photo of your black cat in the comments so we can give them some love, too! 🖤

🎃👻 Halloween is almost here! Let's keep it spooky for us, but safe for our pets! 🐾

Between the costumes, candy, decorations, and trick-or-treaters, Halloween can be a lot of fun, but it also brings a few unexpected hazards for our four-legged friends!

The ASPCA has shared some great reminders to help keep pets safe this Halloween. Take a moment to check out their tips before the festivities begin! 🧡

A few things to remember:
🐾 Keep chocolate, candy, and sugar-free treats containing xylitol well out of reach.

🐾 Watch out for glow sticks, small decorations, and costume accessories that curious pets might chew or swallow.

🐾 Make sure costumes are comfortable and don't restrict movement, breathing, or vision.

🐾 Keep pets safely indoors and away from frequently opened doors as trick-or-treaters come and go.

🚨 If your pet needs emergency care when Abbey is closed, our trusted emergency partners are here to help:

📍 Veterinary Emergency Group (Pikesville)
📞 (410) 793-4910

📍 Animal Emergency Hospital (Bel Air)
📞 (410) 420-7297

All Hallows' Eve is nearly here, bringing with it tons of spooky cheer. Ghosts and ghouls may give you a fright, but do you know what else goes bump in the night? 🎃🐾

Fun things for us humans, such as glow sticks, small plastic toys and candy can be harmful and dangerous to our furry friends. Our experts at ASPCA Poison Control have all the best tricks and treats to help your pets have a safe spooky season. Read more by visiting https://bit.ly/3EgfRCb.

🐝These tips are presented to you by our partner, BuzzRx, who offers free prescription discount cards benefiting non-profit organizations like the ASPCA.

❤️🐾 Last but certainly not least, we're wrapping up Staff Appreciation Week by celebrating the wonderful Nicole, our Practice Manager!

If there's one person who keeps Abbey humming, it's Nicole!

From fixing a dental handpiece to handling a medication recall, juggling a hundred things at once, and somehow knowing the answer to just about everything, Nicole is our go-to person for pretty much anything and everything! ❤️

She's incredibly kind, patient, capable, and always ready to step in and help, whether it's supporting our doctors, looking after our team, helping a client, or making sure a patient gets the care and attention they need.

So much of what Nicole does happens behind the scenes, and it would be impossible to list it all. But we can tell you this: **Abbey simply wouldn't run the way it does without her.**

And as you can see from these photos, she still manages to find plenty of time for cuddles with our patients! 🥰🐾

Nicole, thank you for everything you do for our doctors, staff, patients, and clients. For the countless problems you solve, the patience you show, and the care you put into keeping Abbey running every single day.

We appreciate you more than words can say, and we honestly couldn't do it without you! ❤️

Please help us give Nicole some very well-deserved love in the comments!

❤️🐾 Staff Appreciation Week wouldn't be complete without sending some love to Penelope!

She might be away at veterinary school, but she's certainly not forgotten here at Abbey!

We've loved watching Penelope follow her dream of becoming a veterinarian, and we couldn't be prouder of her. She's kind, hardworking, and has such a wonderful way with animals. Just look at these photos — from our patients at Abbey to the calves she's meeting along the way! 🐶🐮❤️

It's so exciting to see her gaining new experiences and continuing to grow, although we do miss having her around!

Penelope, we're cheering you on from afar and can't wait to have you home for the holidays! ❤️

Sending you lots of love from all of us at Abbey! 🥰🐾

❤️🐾 Staff Appreciation Week wouldn't be complete without celebrating one of our newest team members — Brandon!

He may be new to Abbey, but he's already made quite an impression, and we honestly couldn't be happier to have him!

Brandon has jumped right in, learning new skills, gaining confidence, and becoming such an important part of our team in a remarkably short time. It's been wonderful watching how quickly he's growing into his role as a veterinary assistant!

He's kind, thoughtful, incredibly caring, and always ready to lend a hand. And one of the things we love most is seeing how naturally he connects with our patients. Just look at these photos! 🥰

Brandon, we're so proud of how far you've come already, and we can't wait to see you continue to grow. Thank you for your hard work, your kindness, and for being such a wonderful teammate.

Your patients love you, and so do we! ❤️

Help us show Brandon some love in the comments! 🐾🥰

👑❤️ Why have one Reception Queen when you can have two?! Let's celebrate Bree! 🐾

If you've called Abbey or stopped by reception, chances are you've had the pleasure of chatting with Bree. She's one of those friendly, caring voices on the other end of the phone and the smiling face helping you when it's time to check out!

Bree has such a big heart and always goes above and beyond for our clients and their beloved pets. She's thoughtful, capable, and the kind of teammate who's always happy to jump in wherever she's needed. ❤️

And lately, she's been adding even more to her skills by learning how to assist our doctors during appointments! We love seeing her take on new challenges and grow in her role.

Bree, we absolutely adore you! Thank you for everything you do, for always being willing to help, and for the kindness you show our clients, patients, and team every day.

We know so many of you adore her, too! Help us show our second Reception Queen some love in the comments! 👑🥰
