✨ Meet Tyson – the alleged bandit! ✨
This mischievous boxer puppy found himself on the X-ray table after suspicions arose that he’d swallowed something forbidden (cue the dramatic music). He spent the night in our care, hooked up to fluids and awaiting the results of his 'trial.' But after a thorough radiographic investigation... Tyson was declared not guilty! No contraband detected, and he strutted out of here a free dog—with his tail held high and his record squeaky clean! 🧼 🐕

Today we celebrate International Search and Rescue Day by recognizing the incredible dedication of all the search and rescue workers and K9s who work tirelessly to help others! 🐾

We also want to give a special shoutout to our Veterinary Assistant Manager, Malina, and her K9 partner, Fen! 🐕

Earlier this year, Malina and Fen were invited to join a Search and Rescue team after assisting with a K9 medic course. Since then, they have trained weekly, attended SAR conferences together, and participated in the NAPWADA conference, which focuses on different K9 working modalities.

As of March 2025, Fen is officially certified and ready to actively partake in search and rescue missions! 🏅🐕

We are so proud to have Malina and Fen as part of our AESC family, sharing their passion for helping people and pets both inside and outside of the clinic.

A huge thank you to all the amazing SAR teams out there. Your hard work, bravery, and heart make all the difference! 🧡🌟

Say hello to Itty Bitty! 🐾

This tiny Chihuahua has been stealing our hearts for years. 😍 We’ve had the pleasure of seeing Itty Bitty a few times, and every visit is an absolute treat for our team.

This little gentleman is full of sweetness, always relaxed, always smiling 😁 (yes, really!), and happiest when he’s being cuddled.

It’s patients like Itty Bitty that remind us why we love what we do. Thank you to his family for trusting us with his care—we adore him! 💕

Happy Veterinary Receptionist Week!
This week, we’re celebrating the 11 amazing CSRs (Client Service Representatives) who are the heart of our front lines here at AESC!

From answering emergency calls to calming nervous pet parents, juggling paperwork, coordinating with our medical team, and keeping the clinic flowing—this crew does it ALL. With 11 strong, they’re the first voices you hear, the first faces you see, and often the ones keeping everything moving behind the scenes.

It’s a tough job that takes grace, grit, and a whole lot of heart—and we’re so lucky to have a team that brings that every single day. AESC wouldn’t be what it is without you!

Thank you for all that you do—this week and every week.

It’s 4/20… but your dog doesn’t want your edible.
Seriously — pets + THC = NOT a vibe.

While you’re enjoying the holiday, remember: what gets you chill can send your pet straight to the ER.
Wobbliness, vomiting, seizures — yeah, not so funny when it’s your fur baby.

Lock up the stash 🔒, skip the smoke circles 🚫🐶, and if they do get into something, call your vet ASAP ☎️.
We won’t judge — but your pet might when they sober up.

Let’s keep 4/20 lit — safely.

Great Information!

🩸 Plasma Power for Parvo Patients 🩸
Parvovirus is a tough fight for young pups, often causing severe dehydration, anemia, and dangerously low protein levels. Plasma transfusions can be a game-changer—replenishing vital proteins, supporting clotting, and giving their immune system the boost it desperately needs.

Thanks to our incredible blood donors, we’re able to provide lifesaving plasma to patients battling this deadly virus. Your generosity truly gives them a fighting chance. 💪🐶

From all of us (and our patients)—thank you for being heroes, one plasma unit at a time. ❤️🐾

We had a tail-waggin’ good time at the PAWS OFF event this Sunday! A huge thank you to the NWA Center for Sexual Assault for inviting us to be part of such an important cause during Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

From adorable pups and sunny walks to meaningful conversations and community connection, we loved every moment of it!

Congrats to our raffle winner, David_newcomerjr! We hope you and your pup enjoy the AESC goodie basket!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth—we’re proud to support both pets and people in our community. Until next time!

We’re so excited to see sweet Andarna featured by Big Paws of the Ozarks as she searches for her forever home! 🐾💕

Andy came into our clinic after being brought in for a quality-of-life consultation. She was severely emaciated, tied up, and in desperate need of help. Our doctors stepped in, had her surrendered to us, and our team worked hard to get her back on track—treating her for intestinal parasites and helping her gain back a healthy weight.

Now, thanks to the incredible team at Big Paws, Andy is thriving and ready for the loving home she’s always deserved. 💛

Thank you, Big Paws, for giving her this second chance. Let’s help her find the family she’s been waiting for! 🐶

Do we have any Golden Retriever fans out there? ☀️💛

Meet one of our recent adorable patients—Cupcake Nessie! 🧁 Just look at the sweet way she loves to hold her blankets. 🥹💖

Miss Cupcake Nessie spent a night with us a few weeks ago while receiving treatment for pancreatitis. 🩺💉 True to her golden personality, she couldn’t stop smiling the whole time—and we’re happy to report she was able to go home in under 24 hours! 😁🏡✨️

Do your Golden Retrievers carry things around in their mouths, too? 🧤🧦🧸 Tell us about their quirks in the comments below!
