Wrapping up the week with a Ferdinand Friday update!

This elf's been keeping the clinic on its toes!
First, caught peeking into surgery like he was about to scrub in and start giving orders. 👀🩺
Then he took his talents to the lobby, testing his acrobatic skills hanging upside-down like a tiny holiday daredevil. 🤸‍♂️
And finally… he went full Frozen, swinging from snowflakes in the hallway like he owns the place. ❄️

Havoc was all snuggles during his final recheck this week with our Surgery service💙

He came in last month for a femoral fracture repair —and we’re happy to share he graduated with flying colors! 🎓✨

Just in time for all the holiday fun ahead. 🎄🐾
Way to go, Havoc! We’re so proud of you! 💛

Official cookie tester reporting for duty! 🍪💙
Meet Zeus, this handsome guy takes his job very seriously. He’s making sure every treat passes the sniff-and-taste test.

We appreciate his dedication to quality control and keeping team morale high.
Give Zeus some love in the comments! 🐾✨

✨🎄 It’s finally Friday! 🎄✨
Ferdinand is just hanging around today — giving us a break from the mischief and playing supervisor as he oversees triages and checks out all the holiday décor around the hospital. 😉

As always, our dedicated team is here for you and your pets until 10 PM tonight.
We hope everyone enjoys a safe, warm, and relaxing weekend.🐾❤️

🐾 Pupdate on Manuka Honey! 🍯💛

This brave little girl came to us with severe periodontal disease and a fractured jaw. After removing all of her teeth and a portion of her jaw, Honey has made a full recovery — and she’s living her best life!

A huge thank you to Dr. Fox and our Dentistry team for their expert care and compassion. 👏🦷💙

Honey is a proud alumna of Hope for Life Rescue, and we were truly honored to be part of her journey. Seeing her thriving in her loving fur-ever home is exactly why we do what we do. 💕🐶

He’s baaaack! 🎄🧝‍♂️

His patient? One very brave stuffed animal. 🧸💙

Stay tuned for more holiday mischief around The COVE!
