If you are celebrating National Corn on the Cob Day today, please be careful with your dogs! While corn itself is not poisonous or toxic, the cob portion is not digestible and can cause gastro-intestinal issues including choking, blockage and damage to the intestines.
We advise against giving your dog corn on the cob to avoid this potential hazard.

We want to share our June winners for our monthly dog and cat raffle baskets! Each month we raffle off a basket filled with goodies. Our Care Club members have a chance to win one of these, and this month it is Luna the cat and Poppy the dog!

Poppy is a 1 year old long haired Dachshund whose favorite activity is chasing her Giggle ball around. She has a couple top picks for her toy of choice, with a tie being between her Giggle ball and a stuffed avocado toy.
Her favorite rewards are freeze dried chicken treats as well as string cheese.
Poppy has figured out how to open the screen door to get out into their backyard! What a smart girl.

Congrats to Poppy and her family! Thank you for being a part of our Care Club family, and hope that you and Poppy enjoy the special raffle basket you won!

Meet the Team Monday! 🌟 Meet Dr. Bergquist! 🌟

Originally from California, Dr. B earned her DVM in Australia before returning to the U.S. to train in emergency, internal medicine, and neurology. In 2019, she followed her heart to the Pacific Northwest and has been passionate about general practice ever since.

She loves being part of the human-animal bond and understands how stressful it can be when pets aren’t feeling their best—that’s why she’s all about providing top-notch care.

When she’s not at the clinic, you’ll find her in the garden with her wife and their three pups (Lucy, Twyla & Tilly), doing aerial yoga, or exploring the outdoors!
