Happy National Veterinary Receptionist Week!

This week, we’re recognizing the incredible team members who keep our front desk running and our days on track. Our receptionists are the first friendly hello, the reassuring voice on the phone, and the steady hand behind the scenes, making sure every patient and client is cared for.

To our amazing team — Micky and Alora — thank you for your kindness, your patience, and your ability to juggle it all with grace (and a sense of humor!). You make a difference in more ways than most people ever see.

We appreciate you today and every day! Be sure to give them a little extra love if you see them this week!

PSA: We are no longer taking Chewy request or prescription requests from outsourced pharmacies any more. We have our current online pharmacy “Covetrus” that will be switching as we launch to a new online pharmacy called “Vetcove” Next Thursday:)
We can have a written prescription made up for you to have medications filled at other pharmacies such as Walgreens Walmart etc. etc. upon your request.
We are trying to have a smooth transition for you all to continue to get your pets medications ordered in a timely manner. Please contact us with any questions!!

We love getting to treat our local Gila County Sheriffs K9’s and Whiskey is one of our favorites! What a good boy!

K9 Deployment Leads to Methamphetamine Seizure in Payson

Late on Christmas night, Northern District Deputies conducted a traffic stop on State Route 260 in Payson for a civil traffic violation. During the stop, the Deputy observed indicators of criminal activity and deployed his K9 partner, Whiskey, for an exterior sniff of the vehicle.

K9 Whiskey went straight to work — after alerting to the presence of illegal narcotics, a search of the vehicle revealed approximately 19.6 grams of methamphetamine, along with drug paraphernalia. The driver was arrested and booked into the Gila County Jail.

Holiday or not, our Deputies and K9 partners remain dedicated to keeping dangerous drugs out of our communities.

Great job to K9 Whiskey and his handler!
