Post-procedure snuggles with Screech! This sweet boy found the coziest hiding spot in his heated blanket to rest and recover after his procedure. Sometimes, a little extra warmth and comfort are just what the doctor ordered! 💕

A cancer diagnosis can bring a lot of questions. One of the first is: What exactly are we dealing with?

Cancer care may involve diagnostic sampling, imaging, surgery, medication, and ongoing monitoring. The right approach depends on the individual patient and the diagnosis.

Understanding the disease is an important first step in determining what options may be available.

😹🚨 Caught in the act… again! Dahlia has been getting into the Greenies packages around the clinic, and apparently, those treats aren’t going to investigate themselves! 🐾💚

Someone might need to keep an extra eye on this little troublemaker! 😂

🍎 A little fall fun with our amazing team! Our annual trip to K’naebe’s Apple Orchard is always a sweet way to enjoy some c***r, treats, and time together outside the clinic. Since our clinic is always open, we split into two groups so everyone can enjoy a little orchard fun!

We’re so grateful for the wonderful people who make our team special!

When a pet isn't feeling well, waiting for answers can be difficult.

In-house bloodwork, digital X-rays, and ultrasound allow veterinary teams to gather important information efficiently when a patient is sick or a treatment decision can't wait.

Having diagnostic capabilities available on-site helps your veterinary team move from questions toward answers, and from answers toward a treatment plan.

Veterinary care doesn’t always have to follow just one path.

For select patients and conditions, integrative therapies such as acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and laser therapy may complement conventional veterinary treatment.

These approaches may be considered as part of a broader treatment plan for concerns such as pain, stiffness, and inflammation.

Every patient is different, and their care plan should be, too.

Is your horse dropping feed, quidding, losing weight, resisting the bit, or chewing differently?

Changes in the way a horse eats can sometimes point to an underlying dental problem. Regular dental evaluations help identify concerns and support healthy oral function.

Because when eating becomes uncomfortable, your horse may find ways to let you know.

When your patient is large, getting them to the clinic isn’t always the easiest option. That’s where mobile diagnostics can make a difference.

Portable X-ray and ultrasound technology can help veterinarians evaluate injuries, internal concerns, and even pregnancies right in the field.

For large-animal patients, having diagnostic tools available during a farm call can mean getting useful information without automatically transporting the animal to the clinic.

Today is World Rabies Day, a reminder of why keeping pets protected against rabies is so important. 🐾❤️

Rabies is a serious and potentially fatal disease that can affect both animals and people. Keeping your pet’s rabies vaccination current is one of the most important steps you can take to help protect your family and your community.

Prevention matters. If you’re not sure when your pet’s rabies vaccine is due, give us a call and we’ll be happy to help!
