You know the question.

The one you've been Googling at 11:47 PM.
“Is this normal?”
Maybe your dog is drinking more water.
Maybe your cat has started hiding.
Maybe your pet has a weird little bump you've been watching.
And maybe you're wondering if you're overreacting.

You're not.

Questions are always welcome at WAG.

We'd much rather have you ask than sit at home wondering whether something is worth worrying about.
Trust your instincts. We're here to help. 🐾

A tiny bit of calendar housekeeping from your friends at WAG. 🗓️🐾

Our hospital will be closed to patients November 7–12 while we replace our flooring.

So if your pet is due for a wellness visit, vaccines, follow-up care, or anything else you’ve been meaning to talk with us about, take a peek at your calendar now.

No panic. No countdown clock. Just a friendly nudge from the people who would much rather help you plan ahead than have you realize on November 8:

“WAIT. FLUFFY NEEDED THAT APPOINTMENT.” 😳

We’ll reopen for patient care on Friday, November 13, and our team will continue to be available by phone throughout the closure for questions, referrals, and future appointments.

We appreciate our WAG families more than you know. Thanks for giving us a few days to make the hospital an even better place for you and your pets.

WAG isn't just for those “OMG, something is wrong!” moments.
We’re here for the everyday stuff, too. 🐾

Annual wellness exams.
Preventive care.
Vaccines.
Health questions.
Senior pet checkups.
The “is this normal?” conversations.

Our goal is to become the veterinary team you know before you need us urgently.

Because having a veterinarian you trust makes those unexpected moments a whole lot less stressful.

Looking for a primary veterinarian who actually takes time to answer your questions?
We'd love to meet you.

There are a lot of reasons Dr. Hunter started WAG.

But one of the biggest?
He wanted veterinary medicine to feel a little more… human.

After working in urgent care, Dr. Hunter saw firsthand how much it matters when someone takes the time to listen, explain what's happening, and treat people with the same compassion they give their pets.

So he built WAG around that idea.

Great medicine.
Real conversations.
No judgment.
No pressure.
And hopefully a few laughs along the way.

Because pets are family and taking care of them should feel personal.
That’s WAG. 🐾

If you know us as “the place to go when something goes wrong,” we want to let you in on a little secret…
We’re also here for all the *boring* stuff. 😏🐾

Wellness exams. Preventive care. Routine checkups. Questions about that weird thing your pet has been doing for three weeks.

Because we don’t just want to be your pet’s urgent care.
We want to be your veterinarian.

WAG was built to provide excellent medicine while making sure you and your pet feel heard, informed, and genuinely cared for.

So whether your dog needs a yearly checkup or your cat suddenly decides walking normally is overrated, we’re here.

Premium veterinary care from people who actually have time for you.

Your pet can’t exactly fill out their own medical history form…
So we need YOU. 😂🐾

There are a few things your veterinarian REALLY wants to know during your pet’s checkup even if you’re not sure they’re important.

What they’re eating. What they’re doing. What’s changed. What seems weird. What you’ve Googled at 2 AM. 👀

Yep. We want to hear it.

We rounded up 7 things your veterinarian wishes you’d mention at your pet’s next checkup.

Because at WAG, we listen first. Always.

10/01/2026

WAG looks a little different than it did when we first opened.

There are more pets.
More people.
More questionable things being removed from dogs. 😂

And now, three veterinarians.

But the important stuff hasn't changed.

We still listen.
We still want your questions.
We still believe you deserve to understand what's happening with your pet.
And we still believe taking care of the human in the room is part of taking great care of the pet.

Dr. Hunter. Dr. Miller. Dr. Genade.
Three doctors. One WAG. 💙🐾
And we're really happy you're here.

🚧 Pardon our paws. WAG is getting a little glow-up. 🐾

We’re replacing our flooring in November, which means the hospital will be closed to patients November 7–12.

We’ll be back on our shiny new floors and ready to see patients on Friday, November 13. 🎉

Here’s the important part: our team will still be available by phone while the hospital is closed. Have a question? Need to plan a future appointment? Need help with a referral? Give us a call. We’re still here for our WAG families.

If your pet has a wellness visit coming up or you’ll need food or medications around that time, now is a great time to look at the calendar and plan ahead.

Because running out of your dog’s prescription the same week your veterinary hospital is getting new floors?

We’d rather skip that particular adventure. 😅

Thanks for rolling with us while we make WAG even better for the pets and people of Lake Carolina and Northeast Columbia.

Closed to patients: November 7–12
Reopening: Friday, November 13
Phones: Yep. We’re still answering them. 📞

09/23/2026

Pets really need to get better at scheduling their problems in advance.

We've asked.

They're refusing to cooperate. 🙄🐶

So we did the next best thing:
We added another veterinarian.

With Dr. Hunter, Dr. Miller AND Dr. Genade on the WAG team, we have more options for wellness visits, sick appointments and those days when your pet is doing something that makes you say:

“I don't know what's wrong…but something isn't right.”

Trust your gut. Give us a call.

We're here when you need us. 💙

09/21/2026

POV: You’re at your pet’s checkup and your brain suddenly forgets EVERYTHING you wanted to ask. 😂
We get it.

That’s why we’re sharing 7 things your veterinarian actually wants you to mention at your pet’s wellness visit.

Because you know your pet better than anyone and those little details you notice at home can help us provide better, more personalized care.

Save this one for your next appointment. 🐶🐱
