Meet Gus — Our Pet of the Day! 💛🐾
This sweet Labrador Retriever made his very first vet visit today, and he handled it like a champ. From gentle snuggles to curious puppy eyes, Gus reminded us just how special those first visits are — setting the foundation for a lifetime of healthy, happy years together.

Moments like these are why we love what we do — building trust, caring hearts, and strong bonds from day one. 💚

Give Gus a warm welcome in the comments! 👇🐶

Meet Marley & Tallulah, Our Pets of the Day! 💛🐾

Despite their size difference, Marley and Tallulah are a perfect match, each bringing a unique charm to our clinic. Marley, the smallest (and cutest!) Yorkie has a huge personality, while Tallulah is a gentle giant who fills our hearts with love.

Our vet staff loved caring for these two today – moments like this reinforce that the bond between people and animals is what we do. 💚

Please help us show some love to Marley and Tallulah by leaving a comment below! 👇

Wishing everyone an enjoyable National Mutt Day!
Today we honor the dogs that cannot be categorized as a breed—because those dogs are made of all the parts are made of the best parts. 💛
Mixed-breed dogs have a wealth of personality and loyalty, making our lives fuller. Make sure to give your mutt a little extra cuddle and snuggling today... they deserve five extra snuggles!

If your pet needs a checkup, is simply not feeling good, or you just want to help your best furry friend live their healthiest life, we are always here for your furry family. 🐾

Our clinics will be closed November 27-28 so our team can spend time with their families (and furry ones too!) on the holiday.

From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!
