From tragedy can come hope. 💜 Our local shelter has stepped in to care for animals rescued from neglect, but they need our community’s help to keep going.

Donations of supplies, funds, or even your time will go directly toward giving these pets a second chance at the happy life they deserve. Opening your home through fostering or adoption is also an incredible way to make a lasting difference.

Even if you can’t give at this time, simply sharing this post helps spread the word and brings more support to the animals who need it most.

Together, we can turn heartbreak into healing. 🐾

It's Check the Chip Day! Microchips reunite pets with families. It’s as simple as that.
Far too often, however, veterinarians and shelters are unable to reunite lost pets with their owners due to missing, outdated, or inaccurate information in the registration database for those pets' chips. So, please take a few minutes today to double-check or update your registration information for your pet's microchip.

🚨 PSA from our dental department 🚨

We might be a few days late for National Fresh Breath Day, but your pet’s dental health is important every day of the year! 🪥🐾

Meet Ocho—clearly ready for his daily brushing session! 🐶 Brushing your pet’s teeth helps prevent plaque, tartar buildup, and stinky breath (and keeps those kisses sweet 💕).

If you’d like tips on how to brush your pet’s teeth—or need recommendations for pet-safe toothpaste—our team is here to help. Your pet’s mouth will thank you! 😁

📅 Pro tip: You don’t have to wait for August 6th to start a fresh breath routine!

🌲⛺ CAMPING SEASON IS HERE — and Ross is more than ready for it! 🐾🧡

Whether you're heading out for a weekend in the woods or just "camping" in style from the comfort of your living room, don't forget: pets need a little prep too!

🐶🐱 Camping Tips for Pets:
✔️ Keep them leashed or contained — nature is full of temptations!
✔️ Pack food, fresh water, and bowls (don’t forget treats!)
✔️ Bring any needed meds. Administer flea/tick prevention & heartworm prevention.
✔️ Make sure their microchip & tags are up-to-date
✔️ Have a cozy, familiar place for them to rest — like Ross here, claiming the comfiest chair at the clinic 😺

Have questions about taking your pet adventuring? We're happy to help!

🎉 Happy Birthday, Candy! 🎉

Today we're celebrating Candy—one of our amazing licensed technicians! With years of experience under her belt, Candy is a true wealth of knowledge and an invaluable part of our team. 💉🐾

We snapped a photo of Candy with our clinic cat, Ross, to mark the occasion… but let’s just say neither of them was especially interested in cooperating. 😅 Classic Ross—and Candy might’ve been a little camera-shy too!

Thank you, Candy, for your expertise, your dedication, and all the care you give to our patients every single day. We hope you have the best birthday—feline attitude and all! 🎂🐱💙
