🐾 Happy Drew’s Day 😸

The humans are getting spoiled this week with breakfast, massages, lunch, dirty sodas and more! Must be nice to be a human around here! 😂

I’ll just be over here doing what I do best: supervising, napping, and making sure everyone knows when I’m ready for some scratches. Someone has to keep things running! 😉

Happy Staff Appreciation Week to our amazing AVH team! You take such good care of everyone’s furry family members, and it’s nice to see you getting a little extra love, too. ❤️🐾

Now, back to my regularly scheduled napping. 😽

Behind every appointment, every emergency, and every wagging tail is a pretty incredible team 🐾 This week is all about THEM!

Happy Staff Appreciation Week to the people who make AVH what it is! 🫶

🐾 Happy Drew’s Day! 🐾

I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend! 💛 Hopefully you got to enjoy some good food, family time, and a little extra relaxing!

We’re back at it today, and the day after a long weekend can be a busy one! So please bear with my humans if things are a little hectic while they catch up. They’re doing their best to get everyone taken care of, and your patience is appreciated! 🐶🐱

I personally think we should have an extra day off to recover from our extra day off… but apparently, I’m not in charge around here! 😹

Thanks for being so patient with my people today! I’ll be supervising from my usual spot. 🐾❤️

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at AVH! 💛

Our hospital is closed today while our team takes some well-deserved time to relax, enjoy good food, and spend time with the people (and pets) they love! 🐾

If your pet needs urgent care, our 24/7 emergency line is still available — we’re always just a call away.

Wishing you and your furry family a happy, cozy Thanksgiving filled with love, good food, and plenty of cuddles! 🍂🐶🐱
