💚 While they may still seem like a puppy or kitten in your eyes, it might be time to think about preventive senior care. As our pets change over the years, so do their health needs. If your pet is over 7 years old, you can help keep the good days coming by staying one step ahead of their health—and start their best years right.

To celebrate National Senior Health Awareness month, we are sharing new ways to think about their care.

🧡 Happy Halloween! 🧡

We got the pleasure of seeing Chief yesterday in his Halloween costume! Maybe we’re biased but we think he’s the most handsome bat we’ve ever seen! 🧡🦇

We didn’t get a picture of her, but we also got to see the cutest Dinosaur, Copper! 🧡

Is your baby dressing up for Halloween festivities today?? Drop a picture below! 🎃

We hope that you all have a wonderful, safe, treat filled weekend! 🧡

Happy to the masters of mischief, nap champions, and treat connoisseurs. 😼
They ignore us, sass us, and somehow still have us wrapped around their little paws, and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Give your cat an extra treat today (and share a pic in the comments — they won’t care, but we will).

⭐️VET TEAM APPRECIATION WEEK⭐️

Last but not least we celebrate our veterinarians! Technically, they are experts in animal health who diagnose and treat illnesses and injuries in animals, but their jobs encompass much more.

Unlike human physicians, veterinarians must specialize in multiple different species with varying anatomy and physiology. They also have knowledge in multiple areas of medicine like anesthesia, pain management, general surgery, pharmacology, nutrition, critical care, dentistry, dermatology, pediatrics and geriatrics, parasitology, immunology, behavior and many more.

Our veterinarians are also dedicated to continuous learning - that means attending continuing education courses every year, researching and discussing cases, and staying up-to-date on the most current medicine set forth by professional veterinary organizations!

Along with our entire team, they care deeply about what they do every day to make your pet’s lives better!

Thank you Dr. Luckstone, Dr. Obermeyer, Dr. Hill and Dr. Young for all you do!!

⭐️VET TEAM APPRECIATION WEEK⭐️

Our veterinary assistants and technicians are the backbone of our daily operations. They are handling the flow of appointments and surgeries throughout the day - getting history information, vital signs, drawing blood, giving medications, monitoring your pet under anesthesia, taking X-rays, treating hospitalized patients, processing lab samples and paperwork, cleaning your pet’s teeth, taking their dental X-rays, and assisting the doctors in surgery. Not to mention, cleaning, stocking supplies, sterilizing surgical packs, doing laundry - and yes, all the dirty jobs like cleaning up p**p and expressing a**l glands!

They spend a lot of time educating pet parents on how to best take care of your pet so they can live a long and happy life! Like the rest of our team, they are also there to help you through the emotional side of pet ownership when you need them!

Thank you to Robin, Becca, Elizabeth, Katy, Kim, Kathleen, and Layla for all you do!!

⭐️VET TEAM APPRECIATION WEEK⭐️

This amazing group we are highlighting today takes care of your pets when you’re out of town! Their days are spent doing pool and playtime sessions, sending pup-dates to pet parents, medicating, feeding, and cleaning. They also observe your pet’s behavior while boarding and alert the veterinary staff if anything seems off - physically or emotionally.

They are the reason your pets get excited to make a right turn when they come in the front door!!

Thank you to our wonderful boarding crew - Kapra, Riley, Kiley and Tarra!!

⭐️VET TEAM APPRECIATION WEEK⭐️

Client Service Representatives or CSRs, are the front lines of our hospital - they are that first voice you hear answering the phones, making appointments, sending and receiving records, checking patients in and out, handling payments and organizing communication between all departments.

But beyond just their day-to-day duties, with every brief or long encounter, they are also building connections and relationships with all of our clients and their pets over their lifetime. As does our whole team, they too share in your joy of welcoming a new pet and in your sadness when you lose one. They are here for you!

We include Traci, our hospital manager, in the CSR group because she can do the CSR duties PLUS some! She is also the IT help desk, the fixer of all things mechanical or equipment, human resources, and supervisor of all departments.

Thank you to Lisa, Nancy, Tonya, Elizabeth, Mackensi and Traci for all you do!!

⭐️Let’s kick off Vet Team Appreciation week with the ones who keep your pets looking and feeling good - our wonderful grooming crew!⭐️

Danielle, Jen and Rainey do more than just haircuts, baths and nail trims though - they look out for your pet’s physical well-being too! They are often the first ones to pick up on signs of an ear infection, skin issues, new lumps or bumps, or pain your pet may have in a certain area and notify you or your veterinarian!

Did you know that matting of your pet’s coat can be painful for them? It’s also their job to help educate people on how best to take care of their pet’s coat in between groomings - what brushes or combs are best, what shampoos or conditioners, how much and how often - across hundreds of different dog and cat breeds and coat types!

Let’s give them a round of applause! 👏🏻👏🏻
