Pet of the Week! 📣🐾

This week it is our very own Veterinary Assistant, Rachel's, cat named Fatty!😹

"Fatty is 13 years old! She sure lives up to her name in the sweetest way. LOL! She is sassy and rules the house! She loves her food and sleeping anywhere she can fit. 😻Fatty loves everyone at the clinic and acts like a boss when she is here. But don’t dismiss her sweetness cause she can be very feisty when she wants to be.😸"

We are running low on Pet of the Week Submissions! 😔
If you want your cute furry friend featured on our page as Pet of the Week, feel free to email us your submission to [email protected].

Pet of the Week!📣
(Or should we say Pets of the Week!😆)

This week is a lovely pair of dogs named Hershey and Lucy!🐾🐶

"Hershey is a 10-year-old chocolate lab, and Lucy is a 9-year-old Golden Retriever who just turned 9 the other day. So we took her for ice cream. Best of all, she got extra dog treats!
They are inseparable and bring joy to everyone they meet with their wagging tails, happy personalities, and awesome smiles. Love it when a dog smiles.

When they aren't "helping" around the house, you can find them doing what they love most. Swimming, splashing through the water, or patiently waiting to try and jump in the car on a trip somewhere. They are not missing an adventure! Even if they can't jump up in the car anymore. "

Pet of the Week! 📣

This week is an Australian Shepherd Mix named Whizzer!🐶

"Whizzer is a senior Australian Shepherd mix who proves that heroes don’t always wear capes—sometimes, they wear fur.
As a trained specialist for his mom, a Navy veteran, Whizzer is more than a companion; he is a constant guardian against the shadows of PTSD. Whether he’s navigating the workday by her side or keeping watch to chase away nightmares at night, he is a steady, calming presence. While he’s a dedicated professional, Whizzer is a "couch potato" at heart who loves making new human and canine friends."

Pet of the Week! 📣

This week is a sweet, big-baby Rottweiler named Alister!🐶

"Hi I’m Alister! I'm a 5-year-old male Rottweiler. I’m a true Velcro Dog and Momma’s Boy. I’m the little brother of the family 🩵 You may have seen my Big Brother Apollo’s Pet of the Week post too! He was truly my bestest buddy, but he did sadly cross the Rainbow Bridge. We miss him a ton.🌈❤

I am the shy, quieter fella who loves to curl up and be a lap dog - not kidding, I’m a true cuddler! Tiny spot on the couch, no problem, I’ll find room! 🩵🐾

Alister is super athletic and incredibly fast. He enjoys agility classes and keeps up with the best of them. Want to play or take a walk? I’m your guy.

Alister loves snacks and all his brain work games. He’s the full package: he’s a lover, athletic, and brainiac.

Oh, and my mom says I’m the official squirrel patrol of the neighborhood. Alister loves to patrol the yard, making sure those furry squirrels don’t take his snacks 🐿️"

Attention Clients! 🐶😸

We have the pleasure of introducing everyone to our new Relief Veterinarian, Dr. Crawford.🥳

Dr. Sara Crawford grew up in both Columbus and Youngstown, Ohio. Her interest in science and puzzles, combined with her love for animals, led her to pursue a degree in veterinary medicine. She attended The Ohio State University for both her undergraduate and veterinary schooling, gaining her DVM degree in 2013.
She has spent the majority of her career practicing small animal medicine in northeast Ohio. She enjoys the variety of general medicine and hopes to continue to serve the pet community.
While she never got the childhood dream of her own pet tiger, Dr. Crawford has had her own little zoo full of cats, dogs, and even rats! She enjoys traveling both domestically and internationally, as well as trying new restaurants and cuisines.

Dr. Crawford has already picked up a couple of days in previous weeks, so some of you may have met her, and she will be here more often in the coming weeks! 😁
