May is Mental Health Awareness Month — and in veterinary medicine, that conversation matters deeply. 💚

Veterinary professionals dedicate their lives to caring for animals and supporting the people who love them — often while quietly navigating stress, compassion fatigue, burnout, and mental health challenges of their own.

To every veterinarian, technician, assistant, CSR, student, and support team member: your work matters, and so does your well-being.

Let’s continue building a profession where compassion includes ourselves, too. 💙

Happy Cinco de Mayo from Taco! 🌮🐾🎉

This little chihuahua underwent a medial patellar luxation (MPL) correction along with an extracapsular lateral suture stabilization (ELSS) procedure to help stabilize that tricky knee.

His knee is now on the path to being stronger and more stable—just in time for some well-deserved fiesta vibes (with lots of rest, of course!).

Join us in cheering him on—¡vamos, Taco! 🌟🐕

Meet Zoey 🐾💛

This sweet dog underwent a TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) procedure to repair a torn cruciate ligament in their knee. It’s a common injury, but one that can cause a lot of pain and instability—so surgery is often the best path back to comfortable movement.

We are grateful for the trust pet owners place in us, and proud to play a role in helping dogs get back to the activities they love most. 🐕

Wrapped up like a burrito and resting like a champ 🐾💤

Bohgie is on the mend after TPLO surgery, trading zoomies for zzz’s and adventures for cozy blanket time. Every day brings a little more strength, a little more healing, and a whole lot of love.

Recovery might be slow, but this sweet face makes it look pretty cute 💛

Shout out to the wonderful team at Rock Spring Veterinary Clinic for the referral and the top-notch care they provide! 🐶✨

Two knees, one brave heart 🐾❤️

This adorable pup "Turbo" went through a bilateral TPLO surgery and is already stealing hearts in recovery. It’s not the easiest road, but with those big eyes and even bigger spirit, this boy is taking it one step (literally!) at a time.

Healing vibes, cozy naps, and all the love for this strong baby 💕🐶

Sleepy Saturday 💤

Bouton is just too cute not to share twice!
Thank you to Bouton's family for the at home picture of Bouton resting so comfortably 1 day post TPLO (tibial plateau leveling osteotomy) procedure that she fell asleep in her own bowl. 🥹

And thank you to Greenbrier Veterinary Clinic for the referral! ❤️
