🐾May Employee Pet of the Month🐾

Say hello to Douglas Catams! This charming feline is known for his love of belly rubs (no, it's not a trap!) and his surprisingly healthy appetite-green beans are his absolute favorite.

When he's not snacking or soaking up attention, you'll find Douglas doing his best "supervisor" impression by laying right on top of whatever book you're trying to read. 📖

Thanks for bringing so much joy (and a little mischief) to your human's days, Douglas! ❤️🐈

Today is World Lyme Day

Did you know that 1 in 8 dogs tested in 2025—and so far in 2026—in Broome County, New York have tested positive for Lyme disease? The latest parasite prevalence maps from the Companion Animal Parasite Council show just how widespread this risk has become—even right here at home.

Protect your pets! Reach out to us about recommended flea & tick preventatives and whether Lyme vaccination is right for your dog.

Prevention is key to keeping your furry family members safe and healthy 💚

🐾April Employee Pet(s) of the Month🐾

This month, two are better than one! Meet the adorable duo, Tobey and Ollie — litter mate dachshunds stealing hearts all around. 💛

Tobey (cream) is an itty bitty baby with a BIG personality. A certified stuffy destroyer, he may be small but he’s mighty! When he’s not causing adorable chaos, you’ll find him burrowed under blankies… or invading your personal space (because boundaries are optional).

Ollie (dapple) is our big derpy baby and full-time mischief maker! Known for his “taste-testing” adventures (yes, even things he definitely shouldn’t 👀), Ollie keeps life interesting. He may be a shy guy, but he’s a cuddle champion who’s always ready to snuggle up and steal your heart.

Double the pups, double the love — we’re obsessed! 🐶🐶💫

Welcome back for our March Employee Pet of of the Month: Sage, Siberian Husky x Elkhound extraordinaire.🐾
Equal parts adventurer and professional homebody. Sage bravely conquers mountains (activating full mountain goat mode) and channels her inner fish at every lake or stream...yet somehow the wind remains her greatest nemesis 🥲
Despite being constantly mistaken for a wolf, Sage is just a snack-powered introvert with a flair for dramatic beauty. Burdened with stunning good looks and unique heterochromia, she prefers to keep her fan club small and her circle exclusive. Fame is flattering...but snacks and naps with her favorite people are where she truly shines. ✨❤️
