🐾 Happy Veterinary Technician Week to the ladies who keep Better Lives Animal Hospital running! 🐾❤️

Behind every great veterinarian is an incredible team of people who somehow manage to juggle chaos, compassion, bodily fluids, and the occasional flying furball—all while keeping their sense of humor! 😂

🐾 Danielle – Our walking encyclopedia of veterinary knowledge, with a quick wit, an even quicker comeback, and a delightfully inappropriate sense of humor that keeps us laughing (and occasionally questioning whether HR needs to get involved). 🤣

🐾 Michaela – Bringing style, personality, and a welcoming smile to everything she does! She has a way of making both our two-legged and four-legged visitors feel right at home, all while making the rest of us look underdressed. 💁‍♀️🐶

🐾 Brianna – Officially our kennel assistant, but unofficially our jack-of-all-trades! With her fabulous, fun scrubs and an impressive willingness to tackle the jobs that make the rest of us gag, Bri is always ready to jump in, get her hands dirty (sometimes literally 🤢), and help wherever she’s needed!

These three bring so much more than their skills to our hospital. They bring heart, laughter, personality, dedication, and the ability to handle just about anything thrown their way (sometimes literally).

We truly could not function without them—and we wouldn’t want to! ❤️

Please join us in giving Danielle, Michaela, and Brianna some well-deserved love and appreciation! 🐾👏

Happy Vet Tech Week from all of us at Better Lives Animal Hospital!

👻We may have gotten a little too “wrapped up” in Halloween this year…Just another case of excessive bandaging at Better Lives Animal Hospital. Diagnosis: Mummification. Prognosis: Looking pretty good. 🎃

🚧 Heads Up, Better Lives Family! 🚧

We wanted to let everyone know that Better Lives Animal Hospital will be CLOSED Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of next week while we complete some exciting renovations and construction in our surgical room and treatment area to make our hospital even better for you and your pets! 🐾

We’ll be open our normal business hours on Monday 7/27 and Tuesday 7/28, so now is the perfect time to:

💊 Count your pet’s medications.
🐶 Check your prescription supplies.
📞 Call us if you need refills or would like to pick up medications before we close.

We appreciate your patience while we make these improvements and apologize for any inconvenience.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support—we’ll see you on Monday and Tuesday!

🇺🇸🎆 Happy Fourth of July! 🎆🇺🇸

Better Lives Animal Hospital will be closed on July 4th so our team can celebrate with family, friends, and (let’s be honest) probably a few cold ones after the week we had!.

While you’re enjoying the holiday, don’t forget:

🐾 Keep everyone cool in the summer heat.
💧 Make sure there’s plenty of fresh water.
🏡 Bring pets inside before the fireworks begin—those booming skies are much more fun for people than they are for dogs and cats!

We hope your holiday is filled with great food, happy memories, wagging tails, and all fingers still attached after lighting the sparklers. 😉🎇

Have a safe, happy, and tail-wagging Fourth of July!
