🐾✨ Our Pet of the Day is the majestic Zeus! This gentle giant is a 1-year-old Maine C**n kitty, loved by the Muench family. He visited Dr. Wade today for his annual wellness exam and weighed in at a healthy 12.3 pounds! Zeus was such a champ while receiving his vaccines and intestinal parasite screen… he handled it all like the true king he is 👑🐱.

We are so grateful to care for this handsome boy and can’t wait to see him again! 💜

🐾✨ Our Pet of the Day is Ruby, an 11-week-old Pitbull mix loved by the Priem family! She visited Dr. Wade last Friday for her very first exam… and wow, what a big morning this little girl had! 🤩

She tackled it all like a champ: vaccines, an intestinal parasite screen, oral deworming, a urinalysis, plus an ear cytology and cleaning 🩺🐶 That’s a lot for one puppy morning, but Ruby did amazing! We can’t wait to see this sweet girl back in 3–4 weeks for her vaccine boosters. Welcome to the Big Creek family, Ruby! 💜

❤️🤍💙

Riley was a live-find search and rescue dog who participated in rescue efforts after 9/11. Riley was never able to find a living survivor, but he did help recover several bodies of firefighters.

His handler and search partner once explained: “Riley knew the people he continued to find were dead. He was never a formally trained cadaver dog. His job was to find the still-living. I tried my best to tell Riley he was doing his job. He had no way to know that when firefighters and police officers came over to hug him, and for a split second you can see them crack a smile — that Riley was succeeding at doing an altogether different job. He provided comfort.”

Across the globe, communities are coming together to raise awareness and take action.
In veterinary medicine, the stakes are high. The su***de rate among veterinarians is significantly higher than the general population. That’s why NOMV exists, to change the narrative.
Today, take one step: share a resource, check in with a colleague, or start a conversation. Every action counts.

🐾💕 Say hello to our Pet of the Day: Maisy! 💕🐾

This beautiful little lady is a 9-week-old Mini Dachshund weighing in at just 3.81 teeny pounds! 🐶 Loved by the Morse family, Maisy had her very first visit with Dr. Scherry earlier this week. What a big milestone for such a tiny girl! 🎉

Maisy is already showing off her friendly, loving personality, showering everyone with kisses and snuggles! (Our CSR Mary Ann just HAD to steal her away for a quick snuggle and photo!) Her family reports she’s even getting the hang of potty training (such a smart pup! 🐾👏🏼)!

During her visit, she received her first vaccines, oral deworming, and a nose-to-tail exam that earned her a “Healthy Puppy” report card! 🩺🌟

Welcome to the Big Creek family, sweet Maisy — we are so grateful to be part of your journey as you grow! 🥰
