🐾 Happy National Pet Month! 🐾

This month, we’re celebrating the unconditional love, endless cuddles, and joyful moments our pets bring into our lives every single day. Whether they bark, purr, chirp, hop, or slither — our furry (and not-so-furry) friends make life better in so many ways. ❤️

Take a moment to spoil your pet a little extra today with treats, belly rubs, playtime, or a long walk. And don’t forget to share your favorite pet photo in the comments — we’d love to see your adorable companions! 🐶🐱🐰

In veterinary medicine, diagnostics like bloodwork, ultrasound and x-rays are more than just tests — they are the key to understanding what our patients cannot tell us themselves. 🩺🐾

These tests allow veterinarians to detect illness earlier, create targeted treatment plans, monitor progress, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. They can help provide answers that can make all the difference in quality of life and longevity.

Whether it’s a routine wellness screen or an urgent diagnostic workup, investing in diagnostics is investing in better care, better medicine, and healthier pets.

P.S. Below is the result of trying to get Sassy to stay still when she knows you have a cookie in your pocket!

Yes, we get it. Dogs are natural gardeners, lovers of horticulture! They love to plant vegetables, fruits and herbs. They're so helpful in the yard and never cause any issues, right?

Just in case, we'd like to make sure you're looking out for a few things in your yard:

-Ticks/Fleas - Each year tends to become worse with these, so make sure your pet is on a GOOD monthly preventative!

-Herbicides - Make sure to keep your pet off any treated areas not safe for pets until the allotted time has passed!

-Fencing Gaps - It's a good time to check for any gaps in fencing to help keep them safe and in their own yard.

-Leftover Debris - Clear out sharp sticks, branches, broken glass, or pottery that can cause paw injuries.

-Stagnant Water - Empty stagnant water (birdbaths, flower pots) to avoid mosquitoes and bacteria.

There are many breeds that benefit from having a job. Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, Border Collies and more!

So, we tried giving Sassy a job to help with her energy and, unfortunately, it just isn't working out. Every follow-up call was marked as the patient doing 'Ruff' and she'd mark every appointment as "owner requested more cookies to be given to front desk staff" (to be honest that one got us the first few times).

Happy Tuesday all, have a great week!

We like to put out fun trivia and educational posts, but every so often we just have to post something silly.

Today, it may be a case of do as I say, not as I do? Yes, it's always recommended to keep your pets off the counters, but Boone posed for his picture so well that we had to break a rule just this once!

Happy Saturday everyone, let's hope the weather keeps improving each week!

Had a friendly surprise guest this morning drop by, so we put them to work!

Just a reminder, we will be closed tomorrow, Saturday, April 3rd so Dr. Lizz can make sure this guy finds his way out of here to drop off all those Easter baskets! We will be back open for our normal hours on Monday, April 5th at 8:00am.

Happy Easter to you and your families, may it be safe and joyous!

One of the most common concerns we see—especially this time of year—is allergies in dogs. 🌿🐾

Just like people, dogs can suffer from environmental allergies (like pollen, grass, or dust mites), as well as food sensitivities. The signs aren’t always what you’d expect—rather than sneezing, many dogs show allergies through their skin.

Keep an eye out for:
• Excessive itching or scratching
• Licking or chewing at paws
• Red, inflamed skin or ears
• Recurrent ear infections
• Hair loss or hot spots

If your dog seems uncomfortable, don’t ignore it. Allergies can significantly impact their quality of life, but the good news is that we have many ways to help (including some very new ones!)—from diet trials to medications and allergy management plans tailored to your pet.

Early intervention makes a big difference. If you’re noticing symptoms, schedule a visit so we can get your dog feeling like themselves again. 🐶💚
