It’s never too early to inspire the next generation of veterinary professionals!

This sweet future veterinarian wants to be a vet when she grows up, so Dr. Niko, Lee, and Dolores gave her a very important job: helping her own anxious pup through a nail trim with treats, encouragement, and expert-level distraction techniques.

She took her role seriously and did an amazing job. We think she has a bright future ahead — and her pup clearly appreciated the support! 🐾💛

Even though we are already almost halfway through May, it is not too early to start thinking ahead about Memorial Day and the 4th of July.

Holiday weekends often mean more visitors, backyard gatherings, travel, crowded spaces, and loud noises — especially fireworks. For many pets, that can be stressful or even overwhelming.

If your pet has a history of anxiety around fireworks, parties, visitors, travel, or changes in routine, now is the time to reach out. Anti-anxiety medications and calming plans work best when we have time to talk through your pet’s needs, make sure prescriptions are appropriate, and give you a chance to try medications before the big event.

Please don’t wait until the day before the fireworks start. If your pet needs support for the upcoming holidays, contact us now so we can help make a plan that keeps them as safe and comfortable as possible. 🐾

Mental Health Month feels like a meaningful time to recognize how important the human-animal bond can be.

Pets bring comfort, companionship, routine, and connection into our lives, and for many people, that support can make a real difference in their mental and emotional wellbeing. They are there for us in quiet, steady ways that matter more than words can always express.

As much as our pets support us, their emotional health matters too. Supporting their wellbeing can look like creating predictable routines, enriching their environment, and making intentional time to strengthen your bond through play, affection, and connection.

Quality time is powerful for mental health — theirs and ours. 💙

Apparently it was Twin Tuesday at Village Veterinary and nobody sent out the memo.

Dr. Baron and Annie showed up in the same scrubs today, and we could not resist sharing this sweet and funny moment. It is little things like this that make workdays brighter and remind us how lucky we are to have such a fun team.

Happy World Veterinary Day!

Today, we’re celebrating our incredible veterinarians and the heart, skill, and dedication they bring to every patient they see. Veterinarians play such an important role in protecting animal health, supporting families, and strengthening the bond between people and their pets.

At Village Veterinary Hospital, our doctors do so much more than exams and treatments. They listen, problem-solve, comfort worried pet parents, advocate for their patients, and guide our team through both the routine days and the really hard ones.

And while today is a day to honor veterinarians, we also want to recognize the entire team behind them. Veterinary medicine is truly a team effort, and our doctors could not do what they do without the compassionate, hardworking people beside them every day.

Please join us in thanking our veterinarians for the care they give to pets, clients, and our community. We are so grateful for them today and every day. 💙🐾

Meet Momo, a very sweet rabbit who recently came to see us for a painful dental spur that was making it uncomfortable to eat. 🐰🌼

Rabbits and guinea pigs have continuously growing teeth, which means dental issues can develop if their teeth do not wear down properly. Overgrowths and sharp spurs can cause pain, difficulty eating, drooling, weight loss, and other serious concerns.

With heavy sedation and specialized dental equipment, these painful areas can be safely addressed so patients like Momo can get back to feeling better.

Dr. Potter recently attended a continuing education lab focused on small mammal dentistry and is now providing rabbit, guinea pig, and rodent dental procedures here at Village Veterinary.

Momo should be feeling much better and ready to enjoy those spring dandelions. 🌼💙

Did you know Village Veterinary is open on Sundays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM?

We are proud to be available for our community on weekends, because we know pets do not always stick to a Monday through Friday schedule. Whether your pet needs to be seen or you simply need guidance and support, our team is here to help.

We also want to recognize two of our wonderful Sunday team members, Bronte and Dr. Potter, who help make that care possible. Their kindness, hard work, and commitment to our patients and clients mean so much, and we are thankful for them every week. 💙

Dr. Potter’s cat Obi is an excellent example of why routine dental procedures are about more than just keeping teeth clean.

When Obi came in for his routine dental, an incidental finding revealed that at some point earlier in his life, he had apparently had a run-in with a bullet. Thankfully, he is totally fine, but discovering something like lodged ammunition in the face of your rescue cat is definitely valuable information to have.

This is one of the many reasons routine dentals are so important. They help support preventative medicine and good oral hygiene, but they can also lead to the discovery of hidden issues that may not be obvious during day-to-day life.

Dental procedures can give us a much better look at what is going on beneath the surface, and sometimes that means finding something unexpected.

If your pet is due for a dental, we would be happy to help. Ask us about scheduling a routine dental today.
