Meet Archie!
This adorable boy came in to see Dr. Tolmer today for his annual wellness visit and vaccines. As a proud Care Club member, his exams are always covered—because that’s just how he rolls. 😎
Between his big brown eyes, happy smile, and VIP (Very Important Pug) status, Archie is a perfect example of why we love what we do!

Thanks for making our day, Archie!
-(even if it’s not Tuesday—because adorable pugs can do what they want)

Double the fluff, double the charm!
Adrik came in today to see Dr. Tolmer and brought along his emotional support sibling, Luka. These 8-year-old Siberian brothers are giant fluff balls, total attention magnets, and hands down the sweetest gentlemen we’ve ever had the pleasure of cuddling—I mean, examining.
Whether it's for snuggles or support, these two always come as a pair. 💕

Little Ruby stole our hearts again today!
This sweet girl visited us for a recheck with Dr. Tolmer, and we're thrilled to report that her little paw is all healed up! Ruby also had her bloodwork done in preparation for her upcoming spay. She was the absolute purr-fect patient—so sweet, gentle, and loving!
Ruby, we're so happy to see you doing so well! Can't wait to see you again soon. 💖

Oreo Alert!
Meet Oreo, the 16-week-old Shih- Tzu-Poodle mix who came in to see Dr. Riffe for his checkup and boosters.

This little fluffball is pampered, polished, and positively bouncing with energy—literally! He didn’t stop wiggling long enough for us to get a proper glamour shot, but we managed to catch this cheeky tongue-out moment. 😛

He’s the star of the show wherever he goes, and we can’t wait to see Oreo (and his wonderful humans) back at his next visit! 🐶

Meet Eugene — or as we like to call him, Huge Jeans 👖
This orange-and-white heartthrob belongs to our very own Kelly, who somehow manages to be our pharmacist, Client Service Supervisor, and go-to everything person all at once.

Eugene takes his job as “CUTEST BOY EVER” very seriously — whether he’s lounging dramatically, poking a paw out from under the covers, or striking his signature “derp face,” he keeps us all smiling!

Every clinic needs a Kelly... and every Kelly needs a Eugene!! 💛

🎉🎂 Happy 15th Birthday, Sid! 🎂🎉

Sid might not know his actual birthday, but thanks to his foster-turned-forever family, he definitely knows he’s loved.

Sid recently celebrated his milestone birthday in style—with a doggy-safe cake, a dapper suit, and a weekend getaway to a cozy cabin in the woods. Being blind hasn’t slowed him down one bit—he zoomed through the open grass, tail wagging and heart full!

Sid’s story is a beautiful reminder of why fostering and adopting senior pets is so incredibly special. 💕 They may have a little gray in their fur and a few extra naps in their day, but they bring unmatched gratitude, love, and joy into our lives.

Here's to Sid, and to all the senior sweethearts who just need a chance to shine!!

🐾 Dental Day for Bentley! 🐾

Meet Bentley — our resident heartthrob and professional tongue model 😛. He came in yesterday for his dental cleaning and brought his favorite vet tech (and mom), Melissa, along for moral support 💙.

While Bentley’s pearly whites got a polish, he made sure to inspect the team’s snack situation and steal a few hearts along the way. 😍

A fresh smile and a happy pup? We call that a "toothfully" great day at the clinic!
