A pet’s palette is not as discerning as you would hope. What’s the weirdest thing your pet has tried to eat? 😳

And if they succeed…give us a call so we can help!

As flowers bloom, so do risks for our pets, with plenty of opportunity for them to breathe in particles, scratch an eye, poke a paw, or even get snagged by a branch or thorn, all of which could potentially lead to infections.

Infections can be sneaky subtle—If your pet is not acting right and you are not sure what it is, get them checked! Like with most conditions, the sooner we treat an infection, the better your pet will feel.

🍔 A burger… made their way 🐾
Today is National Hamburger Day, but your pet doesn’t need the drive-thru version to feel included.

In fact, many classic burger ingredients—like onions, garlic, and heavy seasoning—can upset their stomach (or worse). The good news? You can still treat them—just a little differently. Think:
🥩 Plain, lean protein
🥕 Pet-safe veggies
🚫 No added salt, spices, or toppings

Because the best treats aren’t the ones we share…they’re the ones we choose with them in mind. ❤️
If you’re ever unsure what’s safe, we’re always here to help!

🤩Does your pet resemble a certain celebrity or character? Maybe a green one with pointy ears, that wears a robe, and eats frogs? 🙃 ​

It’s Chip Your Pet Month (no…not that chip as much as they want it 🥔)
Pets that are microchipped have significantly higher reunion rates if they get lost—so you can have more moments like these. ​

Need to get your pet microchipped, or update their information? Contact us today!​

It’s International Chihuahua Appreciation Day! While some may think “Chihuahuas are all the same” we know that’s not true (ok…they are all a little sassy…in the best way).

Do you have a chihuahua in your life? Which type?

🤡 Clown “I exist purely for entertainment (and mild destruction).”
👑Tiny Tyrant: “I run this house. Everyone else just lives here.”
✨Icon: “I am not a dog. I am a lifestyle.”
All of the above

Our (very late 😬) May Pet of the Month theme is:
🌼✨ May Flowers & New Beginnings! ✨🎓🌼

April showers bring May flowers — and the perfect time to celebrate new beginnings!

Many of our staff got new puppies in the last few months, so we thought now would be a great time to ask for everyone else's new pet pictures too!! And for anyone who isn't welcoming a new family member right now, we'd love to see some cute spring pictures of your current or past pets!

Whether you’ve welcomed a new pet into your home, have a favorite photo of your pet among the flowers, or want to celebrate your pet as a proud graduate, we’d love to see it!

📸 How to enter:
Post a photo of your pet in the comments that fits our “May Flowers & New Beginnings” theme — new pets, blooming backdrops, graduation outfits, or anything that captures the joy of spring!
Please only include pets in the photos — no humans!

❤️ How to vote:
Like your favorite photos in the comments!
Winner will be announced on June 5th.
A combination of in-clinic votes and number of likes will determine the winner!

🎁 What you win:
The winner will become our cover photo from June 5th until the July winner takes over, and will receive $25 credited toward their next visit!

** If needed, the May contest will extend a few extra days into June to accommodate the late post. If it does, the new winner will still get to be the cover photo for a full month and the contests will just get a new start date for the future! **

We can’t wait to see all the fresh starts, blooming cuties, and proud little graduates this month! 🌸🎓🐶🐱
