Those ears. That face. Those puppy kisses! 😍 Meet Delilah, a precious 14-week-old Corgi loved by the Higgins family! 💕

This little girl is already FULL of personality, love, and kisses, so naturally we had to steal her away for a quick photo with our CSR, Mary Ann! 📸 Just LOOK at those ears!

✨ Corgi Fun Fact: Those short little legs were actually bred for a purpose! Corgis were originally herding dogs, and their low-to-the-ground build helped them nip at the heels of cattle while staying out of the way of kicking hooves. Don’t let those tiny legs fool you... there’s a whole lot of working-dog energy packed into that adorable body!

Delilah recently visited Dr. Bradley and began her puppy visit series to help keep her healthy and protected as she grows. We have a feeling those ears are going to hear the treat jar open from three rooms away! 😂Welcome to the Big Creek family, sweet Delilah... we can’t wait to watch you grow!

Meet Banjo, an adorable 19-week-old Mini Australian Shepherd mix loved by the Girdiron family! 💙 And seriously… how cute are those little legs?!

Banjo recently visited Dr. Bradley for his very first puppy exam, complete with a nose-to-tail checkup, vaccines, and oral deworming. He even went home with a puppy goodie bag that included his first free dose of heartworm prevention!

Starting heartworm prevention early is so important because heartworms are spread by mosquitoes, and even young puppies can be exposed. Keeping them protected from the start helps build a lifelong routine of prevention before there’s ever a problem. 🦟

At home, Banjo is already learning to hold his bladder, has endless puppy energy, and has even lost two baby teeth while playing! During his visit, we were happy to keep him distracted with plenty of treats. 🥰 We can’t wait to watch this little guy grow and help guide him through every step of his puppy journey. Keep growing, learning, and showing off those tiny legs, Banjo! 🐾

Meet Huck, an adorable 10-week-old, 5-pound Goldendoodle loved by the Facemyer family! 💛 He recently visited Dr. Bradley to kick off his puppy wellness and vaccination series with a complete exam, vaccines, oral deworming, and an intestinal parasite screen.

This little guy is even already sleeping through the night... major puppy-parent victory! 🥳 When it comes to potty training, consistency is key: take puppies outside frequently, especially after waking, eating, drinking, and playing, and reward them right away when they potty in the correct spot!

Huck is such a friendly little gentleman and was more than happy to snuggle and accept plenty of treats from our team. 🥰 We can’t wait to squish him again in 3–4 weeks when he returns for his vaccine boosters! Sleep through the night ✅ Steal everyone’s hearts ✅ Next stop: professional good boy! 🐾

This adorable pair of orangies is loved by the Metsch family, and we were smitten from the start! Our Veterinary Assistant Ashley scooped them up right away and whisked them off for a quick photo shoot. 📸

"K-Ci" (male) and "Jojo" (female) visited Dr. Horch for their very first kitten exams, and boy were they busy! Each kitten received a full nose-to-tail exam, vaccines, and an intestinal parasite screen to help get them started on the right paw.

Did you know that only about 20% of orange cats are female, which makes orange girls a little extra special?!🧡

We loved meeting these sweet little cuties and can’t wait to watch them grow. Two tiny orange besties = double the mischief and double the love! 😻😻

We seriously cannot handle Gus’s adorable wrinkles! 😍 This handsome little guy is an 8-week-old Red Labrador loved by the Borden family, and he recently visited Dr. Mosser for his very first puppy appointment!

Fun Lab fact: Labrador Retrievers are officially recognized in yellow, black, and chocolate, but their coats can come in a beautiful range of shades within those colors. “Red Labs” are actually a deep fox-red shade of yellow Labrador. You may also hear about Silver Labs, which have a diluted chocolate coat that gives them their unique grayish-silver appearance.

Gus had a busy first visit with his exam, vaccines, and an intestinal parasite screen, and he handled it all like a champ! He was so calm and relaxed that he even spent most of his exam looking a little sleepy.💤

Welcome to the Big Creek family, Gus! We already can’t wait to watch that wrinkly little face grow up! ❤️

Say hello to sweet Luna, a 5-year-old mix loved by the Cable family! Luna recently visited Dr. Scherry as a new patient, making her officially part of our Big Creek family!

During her visit, Luna received her Lyme vaccine and was such a good girl! Lyme disease is spread by infected ticks, and because ticks are very common here in Northeast Ohio, vaccination can be an important added layer of protection for dogs who may be exposed.🌿

Luna was so friendly, sweet, and kind for her entire exam. She happily accepted all the treats we spoiled her with... and even rolled over to request some belly rubs! 🥹💗

Welcome to the Big Creek family, Luna! We already think you’re pretty special. 💕

Please help us give a big Big Creek welcome to Bullseye, a precious 10-year-old grampy loved by the Jursich family! 💚 This handsome gentleman recently visited Dr. Horch for his very first Wellness Exam with us, and we were so happy to meet him!

As part of his visit, we took a very close look at Bullseye’s teeth to evaluate his dental health. We found moderate tartar, gingivitis, and periodontal disease, so his family now has a clearer picture of what his smile needs moving forward... and we are SO happy to help him feel his best! 🦷

Dental disease is extremely common in both dogs and cats, and it can sometimes be easy to miss at home. Keep an eye out for things like bad breath, red or bleeding gums, visible tartar, difficulty chewing, dropping food, pawing at the mouth, or suddenly becoming picky about harder foods. Regular dental exams and professional cleanings when recommended can help keep those pearly whites (and the rest of your pet) healthier and more comfortable!

Bullseye’s thorough first visit also included vaccines, Heartworm/Lyme testing, an intestinal parasite screen, and a full panel of bloodwork. Quite the wellness day for this sweet senior boy! 🥰

Welcome to the Big Creek family, Bullseye! We’re already completely smitten with your handsome grampy face and feel so lucky to be part of your care! 💚
