Sweet McKay stopped by today for his wellness visit and vaccines 🫶🏼

He even had one of our talented RVT’s, Torilynn, to give him a little extra comfort (and a few cuddles) while he was being such a brave boy 💉 Routine wellness exams are one of the best ways to keep your pet healthy. They allow us to catch potential concerns early, answer your questions, and keep your furry family member protected against preventable diseases 😷🦠 If your pet is due for a wellness exam or vaccines, give us a call to get them scheduled 🏥🩺📞

A huge thank you to our Purdue RVT extern, Mack, for leading a very educational CPR refresher for our team 🩺🐾♥️

From reviewing the latest CPR guidelines to running hands-on simulations, our staff practiced responding just as we would if a dog or cat were to code in real life. These training sessions help keep our skills sharp so we’re always prepared when seconds matter most. We’re proud to invest in continued learning and grateful to Mack for sharing her knowledge and helping our team be ready for whatever comes through our doors! 🏥

Sweet Hildy stopped by for her senior wellness check-up this week with Dr. Alli. Miss Hildy is definitely a clinic favorite of ours 💗

As our pets get older, regular check-ups become even more important. Senior wellness visits help us catch changes early, monitor overall health, and keep pets happy and comfortable through every stage of life.

We always love seeing your sweet face, Hildy! Here’s to many more happy, healthy years ahead sweet girl 🥰

Please give us a call if you’re in need of anxiety mediation for the fireworks this holiday!! 🎆

🎆🐾 Fireworks and Pets: What You Need to Know This Holiday 🐾🎆

While fireworks are a fun tradition for many people, they can be terrifying for our pets.

Every year around the Fourth of July, shelters across the country see a significant increase in lost pets. The loud booms, flashes, and unfamiliar smells can cause even well-behaved pets to panic and run.

Here are a few ways to help keep your pets safe:

🏠 Keep pets indoors during fireworks displays.
🔒 Make sure collars and ID tags are secure and up to date.
📱 Verify that your pet’s microchip information is current.
🎶 Use white noise, fans, or calming music to help mask the sounds.
🦴 Provide treats, toys, or a safe hiding spot where your pet feels comfortable.
🚪 Double-check doors, gates, and fences before guests arrive.

Remember: A pet that has never been afraid of fireworks before can still become frightened unexpectedly.

If your pet goes missing, contact your local animal shelter immediately and post clear photos on local lost-and-found pet pages.

Let’s make this holiday safe and stress-free for our furry family members. ❤️🐶🐱

Everyone stay cool this week and hang in there ☀️🥵

🥵🐾 The Heat Is On! 🐾🥵

Today's combination of high temperatures and humidity can make it difficult for pets to cool themselves effectively. Dogs and cats are much more susceptible to heat-related illness than many people realize.

Before heading outside with your pet, remember:
💧 Bring fresh water wherever you go
🌳 Stick to shaded areas whenever possible
🐕 Keep walks short and avoid strenuous exercise
🐾 Check pavement temperatures before walks—it may be too hot for paws
🏠 Make sure pets have access to cool indoor spaces

Watch for warning signs such as excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, or difficulty breathing. If you suspect your pet is overheating, seek veterinary care immediately.

The safest place for most pets on days like today is indoors with air conditioning or a fan and plenty of fresh water.

Stay safe and keep those pets comfortable! ❤️
