🐾 Friday Question!

Your pet has absolutely NO idea what you do when you leave the house every day.

So what do you think they believe your job is? 😂

🐶 Professional treat hunter?
🐱 Can opener technician?
🐾 Person who inexplicably disappears for 8 hours and returns smelling like other animals?

Tell us what your pet thinks you do for a living! 👇😂

🐱 Cat owners, we need to talk about THE CARRIER. 😂

If your cat only sees their carrier five minutes before a trip to the veterinarian, they've learned one thing:

🚨 BOX OF BETRAYAL. ABORT MISSION. 🚨

Try leaving the carrier out at home with the door open. Add a favorite blanket, treats, or toys and let it become part of their normal environment.

Making the carrier less scary at home can make getting to the vet a little easier for everyone — including the human who currently needs three Band-Aids. 😹

🐶🐱 “They’re just getting older…” Maybe. But maybe not!

Slowing down, sleeping more, hesitating before jumping, losing weight, drinking more, having accidents, or becoming less social can sometimes be blamed on age when there may actually be a medical reason behind the change.

Getting older is inevitable. Feeling lousy doesn’t have to be. 💙

If something about your senior pet seems different, tell us — even if it feels small.

🐾 “Why do you need to know THAT?” 🐾

Sometimes the questions we ask during your pet’s visit may seem completely unrelated to why you’re here — but there’s usually a reason!

Has their appetite changed? Drinking more? Any vomiting or diarrhea? New medications or supplements? Changes at home?

Even the little details can help your veterinary team put the pieces together. Your pet can’t tell us what feels different, so you are an important part of their medical team! 💙

And yes… sometimes we really do need to know exactly what their p**p looked like. 😂💩

We're back! Power's on, and we're rolling!

07/13/2026

At 3:40 this afternoon we lost power. It appears all of our neighbors have, as well. We are very dependent on electricity for everything! If you have a routine appointment this afternoon, please call us tomorrow to reschedule.

We will call everyone on the schedule to make new appointments ASAP.

Thanks for your understanding!
