This National Pet Month, we want to recognize the people who make our mission possible every single day. 💙

At CSNIP, our staff devote their lives to helping animals and the people who love them, and we are incredibly grateful for the compassion, skill, and dedication they bring to this work. Behind every surgery and appointment is a team that cares deeply about each patient who comes through our doors. Our staff works tirelessly to make veterinary services more accessible for our community while ensuring pets are treated with kindness and expertise every step of the way. Most of our team members are pet owners themselves, which makes our mission deeply personal, and it’s what inspires our staff every day.

Join us in celebrating the incredible veterinary professionals, CSRs, and animal welfare advocates who dedicate their lives to animals this National Pet Month. And of course, share a photo of the pets who inspire you in the comments below! 📸

At CSNIP, we advocate for healthy pets and stronger communities. That's why we support the reintroduction of the bipartisan Animal Violence Exposes Real Threat of Future Violence Act (AVERT) by Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) and Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC), which recognizes the well-documented connection between animal cruelty and interpersonal violence.

This legislation would help communities better understand and respond to animal abuse by funding research, supporting intervention and rehabilitation programs, and providing resources for animal welfare organizations, mental health professionals, and law enforcement. By treating animal cruelty as a serious community issue rather than an isolated act, this bill takes an important step toward preventing future violence and creating safer communities for both pets and people.

We are encouraged to see lawmakers prioritizing both animal welfare and public safety through proactive, evidence-based solutions. Read the full article to learn more about the AVERT Future Violence Act and its potential impact on communities nationwide:

Every day, pet owners facing impossible choices come to CSNIP for help. Different stories, same goal: keeping their beloved pets healthy and safe. Joyce’s story is one of them.

"CSNIP has been incredibly helpful in caring for my sweet CJ through kidney failure. The care is top notch, and the explanations have helped keep me sane as we walk this path together. I took CJ in as a medical foster—he had already lost a leg from being in the wrong place at the wrong time. We’ve been through so much together, and it’s been costly. CSNIP has been a huge help, and I truly, truly appreciate it."

Stories like Joyce and CJ’s are why CSNIP exists. This spring, you can be part of that care. Your donation helps provide life-saving treatment for pets who need it most.
This Spring we're asking for your support to keep this vital work going. Your donation helps provide financial aid to pet families in need, ensure access to spay/neuter surgery and preventive care, and keep beloved pets like CJ happy and healthy. Donate today! 🩵

May is National Pet Month, a time to celebrate the pets who bring so much joy to our lives and recommit to giving them the care they need to thrive! 💛

One of the best ways to show your pet love is through preventative care. Routine vaccines protect against serious, preventable diseases like rabies, feline leukemia, and distemper while helping keep our entire community safer. Regular care also helps catch health concerns early, making treatment simpler, more effective, and often more affordable.

This National Pet Month, honor your pet by prioritizing their health. A preventative care visit today can make all the difference for their tomorrow.

Last night we were happy to host the West Michigan Animal Welfare Alliance. So many hardworking, dedicated people came together to discuss our challenges and share ideas. Thank you to Tyson's Place Animal Rescue for the original post!

Know what’s amazing about this photo? Tonight, animal rescues and shelters came together to openly discuss the biggest challenges we’re all facing — and, more importantly, to work toward solutions together.

This kind of collaboration in animal welfare wasn’t always possible, and it’s incredible to see how much things have evolved. At the heart of it all is a shared goal: saving animals.

We’re proud to participate with the West Michigan Animal Welfare Alliance and grateful to stand alongside so many compassionate organizations working to make a difference.
