Easter is a time for celebration, renewal, and togetherness. Whether you're spending the day hunting for colorful eggs, enjoying a big family meal, or simply soaking in some spring sunshine, may your day be filled with love and laughter.

As we celebrate, don’t forget to include your furry family members too! Pets love being part of the fun, but keep a close eye on them — chocolate, candy, and certain flowers can be harmful to them. Also, those cute little plastic eggs and decorations can be tempting toys but pose a risk if chewed or swallowed.

Let’s all enjoy the beauty of the season, cherish our time with loved ones (two- and four-legged alike), and stay safe and joyful.

Spring has sprung and the flowers are blooming beautifully! Whether it’s tulips, lilies, or daffodils, it’s the perfect time to brighten up your space with a little nature.

BUT—cat parents, be careful! Some spring blooms, like lilies, are extremely toxic to cats, even in small amounts. That innocent bouquet could lead to an emergency trip to the vet.

If you're bringing flowers indoors, check first to make sure they're safe for your feline friends. Try cat-safe options like roses, sunflowers, or snapdragons instead!

Enjoy the season safely—for you and your fur babies.

🎄🐾 The holidays are almost here, and while you're busy decking the halls and checking your lists twice, don’t forget to prep for your furry family members, too! 🐶🐱

🎁 A few tips to keep the season merry and bright for your pets:

Keep those festive snacks (like chocolate and turkey bones) out of paw’s reach! 🍫🚫
Tinsel, ribbon, and ornaments may look pretty, but they’re not great chew toys. 😉
Make sure your pet has a quiet, cozy spot to retreat to when the holiday hustle gets too hectic. 🛋️💤
Plan ahead for boarding or pet-sitting if you're traveling! 🧳🐾
Let’s make sure the holidays are safe, stress-free, and full of tail wags and purrs. 🐾❤️

Thanksgiving is all about gratitude, family, and delicious food! As you gather with loved ones to celebrate, don’t forget to keep your furry friends safe. 🐾

While we enjoy the feast, here are a few tips for keeping your pets happy and healthy:
🍗 Skip the scraps – Turkey bones, skin, and fatty trimmings can be harmful to pets. Stick to pet-safe treats instead!
🍎 Beware of desserts – Many holiday sweets contain chocolate, xylitol, or other ingredients that are toxic to animals.
🥔 No seasoned sides – Garlic, onions, and spices often found in stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy can upset your pet's tummy or worse.

Your pets are part of the family too, so show them love by keeping their diet safe and healthy this Thanksgiving. ❤️

We are so excited to share the success story of Brisket with you. Our whole staff fell in love with her and was rooting for her.

Brisket was treated for a very severe anaphylactic reaction. In most cases, they improve with fluid therapy alone. In more severe cases (like Brisket), they develop a coagulopathy (blood clotting disorder) that can result in bleeding, often into the abdomen. Brisket had very severe bleeding and required multiple plasma transfusions and then a blood transfusion because of the blood loss. She was very critical for a period of time, but with treatment, she recovered wonderfully and was bright and happy upon discharge! We expect her to make a full recovery.

She and her mom brought smiles to our faces as they walked out the door. Such a lovely pair.

Thank you for trusting us with her care, and we can't wait to receive updated photos of her

We had the immense pleasure of hosting Santa Maria area CTE teachers and the Santa Maria Chamber. They took a tour, learned about our industry, and had lunch with us. What an amazing group of people! We talked about the multiple ways to be involved in the veterinary profession. Our future generations are in good hands.
