🐑 Caring for Alaska’s animals truly takes a village.
When Alice the sheep was injured, her journey to recovery became a team effort:

✨ Maurice, her loyal livestock guard dog, sounded the alarm.
✨ Alice was then taken to our hospital, where our team cleaned, clipped, and bandaged her wound.
✨ Our colleagues at Arctic Equine & Livestock Veterinary Hospital continued treatment with antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and daily bandage changes.

A month later, we're told Alice is back to grazing on Lazy Mountain with her herd, giving proof of resilience, teamwork, and the incredible healing ability of sheep 💙

We’re grateful for dedicated owners like Tara Po***ck, amazing partners in veterinary medicine, and, of course, hardworking animal companions like Maurice, who remind us that looking out for one another makes all the difference.

Because in Alaska, it really does take a village 🐾❤️

🦔🐾 No shortage of pups coming through our doors after a porcupine encounter 😔

It’s been a busy summer season, but time and again our team shows up with the same calm, compassionate care ... reassuring pet parents and helping dogs heal quickly.

Thank you, Sadie, for sharing your story. 💙 We’re proud of the Tier 1 Vet crew for turning stressful moments into positive experiences.

Throwing it back to 1937, when X-ray equipment looked quite different from what it does now. This photo shows Dr. Andy Merrick using an early X-ray unit to care for his canine patient. It exemplifies the significant advancements in diagnostic imaging.

Today, X-rays are just the first step. At Tier 1 Vet, we also offer:

🔹 Ultrasound – Real-time imaging for internal organs.
🔹 CT Scans – Cross-sectional views for complex cases.
🔹 Fluoroscopy – Moving X-rays for dynamic studies.
🔹 MRI Access – When maximum detail is needed.

From film-based images to today’s high-definition digital scans, imaging technology has evolved dramatically, helping us diagnose more accurately, treat more effectively, and give Alaska’s pets the highest level of care.

🔥 Mid-Summer Reminder for Dog Owners 🔥
In Alaska, 70° can be dangerous for our four-legged friends, especially during play, hikes, or car rides.

If your dog slows down unexpectedly or just doesn’t seem right, they may be overheating.

🧠 Know the signs.
💧 Learn how to cool them down.
🚨 Be ready to act before it becomes an emergency.

Dr. Sean McPeck breaks it all down in this quick, potentially life-saving video. Watch now and share with a fellow dog parent:

He's the youngest Freestyle Wrestling National Champion in Alaska history and he’s one of our own!
This past weekend, young athletes from across the state traveled to Las Vegas to compete in the 2025 Rocky Mountain Nationals, including our hometown, Mat-Su Matmen.

We’re especially proud of Mulcahy McPeck, son of Tier 1 co-owners Dr. Sean and Dr. Sara McPeck, who made history as the youngest freestyle national champ ever from Alaska, taking 1st Place in the Boys 6U Freestyle division. His siblings, Finley McPeck and Cadan McPeck, also brought home impressive finishes with Finley placing 2nd in both the Girls 12U Folkstyle and Freestyle, and Cadan placing 5th in the Boys 10U Freestyle.

But this weekend was about more than medals; it was about teamwork, grit, and representing Alaska on a national stage. Huge congratulations to all the Mat-Su Matmen who placed and to every wrestler who competed from our home state. We’re proud of every one of you 🤩

Special thanks to head coach Daniel Graham for a job well done!

Dr. Sean McPeck was honored to help coach this exceptional group, and all of us at Tier 1 Vet are inspired by the strength and determination these young athletes bring to the mat.
