As flowers bloom, so do risks for our pets, with plenty of opportunity for them to breathe in particles, scratch an eye, poke a paw, or even get snagged by a branch or thorn, all of which could potentially lead to infections.

Infections can be sneaky subtle—If your pet is not acting right and you are not sure what it is, get them checked! Like with most conditions, the sooner we treat an infection, the better your pet will feel.

🍔 A burger… made their way 🐾
Today is National Hamburger Day, but your pet doesn’t need the drive-thru version to feel included.

In fact, many classic burger ingredients—like onions, garlic, and heavy seasoning—can upset their stomach (or worse). The good news? You can still treat them—just a little differently. Think:
🥩 Plain, lean protein
🥕 Pet-safe veggies
🚫 No added salt, spices, or toppings

Because the best treats aren’t the ones we share…they’re the ones we choose with them in mind. ❤️
If you’re ever unsure what’s safe, we’re always here to help!

🤩Does your pet resemble a certain celebrity or character? Maybe a green one with pointy ears, that wears a robe, and eats frogs? 🙃 ​

​Share their picture and tell us who their doppelgänger is!

It’s Chip Your Pet Month (no…not that chip as much as they want it 🥔)
Pets that are microchipped have significantly higher reunion rates if they get lost—so you can have more moments like these. ​

Need to get your pet microchipped, or update their information? Contact us today!​

A message to our Veterinary Assistants from the grateful staff who depends on you:

Thank you for the compassion, patience, and dedication you bring every single day. The work you do often happens quietly behind the scenes, but it means everything to the animals and families you help.

You comfort frightened pets, support worried owners, assist during difficult moments, and celebrate the happy ones. Whether you are cleaning kennels, preparing treatments, holding a nervous dog still, or soothing a scared cat with a gentle voice, your care makes a difference.

Animals may not understand the long hours or the emotional weight you carry, but they feel your kindness. Their wagging tails, soft purrs, and trusting eyes are proof of the comfort and safety you provide.

Thank you for the strength it takes to do this work, for the love you show to every patient, and for the heart you bring into veterinary medicine. The world is better because of people like you who choose to care for those who cannot speak for themselves.

-A. Dennis

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Thank you guys, for everything you do 💖🙌
