Scales, skill, and a whole lot of care. 🦎 Dr. Taylor and the team took great care of a bearded dragon during his procedure. Exotic pets deserve expert care too, and we’re proud to provide it! 💚

💛 Happy Pet & Human Relationship Week! 💛
They’re there for the morning cuddles, the bad days, the zoomies, and everything in between. 🐾 The bond we share with our pets is one of life’s greatest gifts, and it’s the reason we do what we do every day.

This week, celebrate your best friend! Take an extra-long walk, share a (pet-safe!) treat, or just slow down and enjoy some quality time together. 🐶🐱

We’d love to meet your favorite companion: drop a photo of you and your pet in the comments! 📸👇

🐾☕🦖 STAFF SPOTLIGHT: MEET LEXI! 🦖☕🐾
Coffee in one hand, puppy in the other, and probably thinking about dinosaurs… meet Lexi! 😂💚

🐶 Favorite part of the job: Building relationships with owners and their furry besties, learning from our awesome doctors, and ALL THE PUPPY VISITS! If there’s a puppy involved, Lexi is clocked IN. 🐾

🏡 Pets at home: Zeppelin (aka Zep)! Lexi went to volunteer at the shelter and came home with a dog after ONE WEEK. We’re sensing a serious case of “I’m just going to look” syndrome. 😂 No regrets, obviously!

☕ Fueled by: Coffee and puppies. Honestly, same.

🦖 Fun fact: Her favorite dinosaur is the ANKYLOSAURUS! We might have to test her Jurassic knowledge at the next staff meeting. 🦕

💚 We’re so happy to have Lexi on our team! Drop a 🐶 for the puppy lover, ☕ for the caffeine enthusiast, or 🦖 if you’re also team Ankylosaurus!

This November, we celebrate Native American communities, their rich cultures and histories, and of course, their deep respect for animals. Their traditions remind us of the sacred connection between all living beings. As we care for your pets, we’re inspired by these values, treating every patient with the dignity, honor, and compassion they deserve.

Just like us, our pets' teeth need to be taken care of on a normal basis as well. And, tooth be told, who doesn't love a good smile?

Whether you're at the vet or at home, there are plenty of ways to care for your pet's pearly whites to help them have the healthiest smile possible! Here are a few ways you can do just that:

- Brush their teeth. Yup, the same way we do! Get your pet a toothbrush and some toothpaste specifically made for them and get brushing. This can take some getting used to, so ease them into the routine. Start by brushing just a few teeth for a few seconds, then gradually work your way through brushing all teeth.

- Give them a (dental) treat approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council. The Council collects data showing that these approved treats actually work to decrease tartar accumulation. There are plenty of great dental treats out there that may be a little more enjoyable (and more appreciated) by your furry friend.

- Choose a chew approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council. There are numerous options when it comes to chews, but the act of chewing or gnawing can actually do a great job at keeping your pet's teeth clean and healthy.

- Dental Procedures. Bringing your pet in for a dental procedure is a great way to promote a healthy smile. During your appointment, your vet can check for anything in your pet's mouth that may need some extra care or attention while doing the cleaning. Speaking of procedure— our Dental Days promotion is happening now, so it's a great time to book. See the link in our bio for details or give us a call with any questions!
