🥒 DR. BRUNS HAS A SERIOUS CASE OF ZUCCHINI OVERLOAD

Dr. Bruns has zucchini. A lot of zucchini.

More zucchini than one person can reasonably eat without becoming 40% vegetable.

The problem? She doesn’t have a go-to zucchini bread recipe, and those gardening skills cannot be allowed to go to waste. Neither can the zucchini. It just keeps growing…

Drop your favorite zucchini bread recipe in the comments and help Dr. Bruns turn her garden surplus into something delicious.

Bonus points if it includes chocolate chips.

Dan’s mom came prepared to discuss his recent habit of marking in the house. Dr. Bruns came prepared to talk about neutering. Dan came prepared to stare into the distance and reconsider every decision he has ever made.

Poor Dan. One minute you’re living your life; the next minute your bathroom habits are the main topic of conversation.

Neutering may help reduce hormone driven marking, but every pet is different. If your dog suddenly starts marking indoors, schedule an exam so we can help determine what may be causing the behavior and discuss the best next steps.

Those tiny Grinch feet may be the foundation of an adorable little dust mop, but beneath that glorious flurry of fur, a scandal may be unfolding.
The nails. They are growing.

Long hair around the paws can make overgrown nails difficult to notice until your pet starts clicking across the floor like a tiny, judgmental tap dancer. Check those toe beans regularly, including the dewclaws.

Most dogs need their nails trimmed approximately every three to four weeks, although active dogs that regularly walk on pavement may need trims less often. Some pets require more frequent attention based on their age, activity level and how quickly their nails grow.

This is not because your pet is “bad.” It is because wrestling a terrified animal while holding sharp objects is not a wellness strategy. Veterinary teams may use anxiety medication or sedation when needed to reduce distress and allow care to be performed safely. (AAHA)

Regular grooming is not simply about looking pretty enough for a seasonal bandana. It helps protect your pet’s skin, ears, paws, nails, comfort and overall well-being.

So part the fluff. Inspect the feet. Count the toes. Check the nails.

Because the Grinch feet may be delightful, but what they are hiding could be dramatic .



A quick clarification: We do not provide traditional grooming services for dogs or cats. However, some furry friends have firmly declined every conventional spa experience unless pharmaceuticals are involved.

How much do we hate bots? Probably about as much as you are going to hate this video.

A stray cat (lovingly adopted by VA Shae) was brought to us with a strange lump beneath the skin. At first glance, it could have been an abscess, cyst or infected wound. Upon closer examination, we discovered the real culprit: a GIANT bot.

A bot is the larval stage of a botfly called Cuterebra. Adult botflies deposit their eggs near rabbit and rodent burrows or along the paths these animals commonly travel. Cats can become accidental hosts while exploring or hunting in these areas. The eggs hatch in response to body heat, and the tiny larvae may enter through the nose, mouth or an existing wound.

Once inside, the larva migrates beneath the skin, where it grows and creates a small opening that allows it to breathe. What owners notice is often a lump with a tiny hole, drainage, matted fur or persistent licking.

And please RESIST THE URGE TO SQUEEZE IT!

A bot must be removed carefully and intact by a veterinarian. Crushing or rupturing the larva can cause significant inflammation, infection and other complications. After removal, the area is thoroughly cleaned and monitored as it heals.

Outdoor cats, especially those that hunt rodents or investigate burrows, have the greatest risk. Contact your veterinarian when you discover an unusual lump, open sore or swelling on your pet. Sometimes a lump is not just a lump.

Sometimes it is staring back at you.

Who doesn’t love a BOX FULL OF PUPPIES?!

These Yorkie, Maltese, and Shih Tzu mixes came in for their first round of vaccinations and deworming, and not one of them made a peep. Tiny, brave, and already very talented at winning over an entire veterinary team.

Because these puppies are a mix of three companion breeds, their adult size, coat, energy level, and personality may vary. Yorkies are often confident, alert, and surprisingly bold for their size. Maltese are typically affectionate, playful, and people-oriented. Shih Tzus are known for being friendly companions who enjoy both playtime and a comfortable lap.

No puppy’s personality can be predicted by breed alone, but these little ones may grow into social, affectionate dogs with plenty of personality. Future families should be prepared for regular grooming, consistent training, early socialization, routine dental care, and continued puppy vaccinations and parasite prevention.

And before you ask... YES, three of the four are available!

Send us a private message, and we will help connect you with the puppy parents.

11 Teeth Out. 1 Tongue Free. Zero Regrets.

Happy smiles all around… with a few less teeth. 😄🐾

Little Tieka had some serious dental work done today: 11 extractions, 24 teeth already missing, and a lucky little 7 still hanging in there like the last contestants on a reality show nobody expected to survive.

And look at her now. That is the face of a girl whose mouth is feeling fantastic.
Tiny dogs can be absolute champions at pretending everything is fine, even when their mouths are quietly staging a full-blown rebellion. Today, Tieka got relief, comfort, and a fresh start; plus a tongue with its own personality and, honestly, excellent brand potential.

Dr. Bruns is thrilled to help her toofers feel so much better. And yes, her tongue may now hang out to the side, but frankly, that is not a flaw. That is TikTok-worthy character. 💅🐶

TWO VETS. ONE MISSION. BETTER CARE.

You may only see one veterinarian during your pet’s appointment, but behind the scenes, our doctors are often putting their heads together.

For difficult cases, unusual symptoms, or treatment plans that need extra brainpower, our veterinarians consult with one another to make sure every patient gets the most thoughtful care possible.

And our village doesn’t stop at our clinic doors. We are grateful to have a trusted network of fellow veterinarians and specialists we can collaborate with when a case calls for it.

Because caring for pets takes a village… and we are incredibly thankful ours is full of people who care deeply, think critically, and show up for the animals who need us.
To our fellow veterinarians and specialists: thank you for always being willing to help us provide the best care for our patients. 🐾

When your social media person says, “Trust me, this will be cute.”

And suddenly two highly educated veterinary professionals are lying on the floor questioning every decision that led to this exact moment.

Dr. Schwendemann and Dr. Bruns, thank you for your dedication, your sense of humor, and your willingness to participate in whatever nonsense we call “content day.” You're the BEST! 😂🐾
