Happy Welcome Wednesday! Getting to know the newest pets in our community is a privilege we never take for granted, and we are so excited to introduce this week's wonderful lineup of new faces.

✨ Say hello to the newest members of the FFVH family:

Suzy (2.5-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel): She’s been in to see us a few times recently and has been an absolutely phenomenal patient for our Lead Repro Technician, Susan (pictured here together!)

Linda (9-week-old Golden/Pyrenees/Husky Mix): Stopped by for her very first puppy wellness visit and vaccines with Dr. Walker, and got some extra cuddles in the process.

Cole (12.5-year-old Lab Mix): Visited Dr. Mitch to establish care with a senior wellness exam. He showed off the absolute greatest (if slightly intimidating!) smile, and we fell in love instantly.

Jessie (5-month-old Domestic Shorthair): Had his first appointment with us and immediately won us over with his confident personality and a purr motor that simply didn't stop during his exam!

Maddison (14-week-old Miniature Goldendoodle): Back in for another puppy wellness check and vaccine boosters, and was such a good girl.

Winnie's Litter (9-week-old Miniature Schnauzers): Three perfect little pups who came in for their wellness checks and were cute as can be!

Peach (8-month-old Miniature Longhaired Dachshund): Came in for her first check-up with us ahead of her upcoming spay appointment. She is such a sweetheart!

Fiona's Litter (6-week-old Pembroke Welsh Corgis): An incredibly adorable group of eight puppies in for their very first litter exam with Dr. Williams.

Welcome to the family, everyone! 💙

Happy National Veterinary Technician Week!🐾 We're kicking things off by giving a massive shoutout to the foundation of our tech team- our most senior technicians! Please join us in celebrating Erika, Susan, Jacqi, Kaitlin, Sam, Tim, Nate, and Kim.

Many of these incredible techs have been with FFVH for over a decade, providing a steady, experienced hand and a familiar, comforting presence for our patients. They are the backbone of our clinic and invaluable mentors to the rest of the team. We truly appreciate their lifelong dedication to veterinary medicine and the standard of care they set every day.

We’ll be shining a spotlight on our entire tech team all week long, so stay tuned! In the meantime, please help us celebrate our senior crew—drop a comment below sharing your appreciation or a favorite memory you have with them! 👇💙

We’re still riding the high of our Revue Magazine wins this year! 🎉 To keep the celebration going, we surprised Dr. Kelli and Dr. Leah with these custom shadow boxes to commemorate their amazing achievements.

It was the perfect way to honor their nominations for "Best Veterinarian" in West Michigan, including Dr. Leah’s 1st place finish✨ and FFVH taking home 1st place for "Best Animal Hospital."

We love celebrating our hardworking team. Thank you again to our wonderful community for making moments like this possible! 🏆🐾❤️

Happy Welcome Wednesday! Here is a look at the new patients who visited the clinic recently 🐾🐶🐱

✨Keep scrolling to meet the newest additions to the FFVH family:

Desiree (2-year-old Afghan Hound): Visited Dr. Sutphen for her very first check-up. She was a little nervous at the start, but warmed up quickly with her care team (and even grabbed a photo with her name-twin, CSR Desiree!).

Jack (11-week-old Pitbull Mix): Adopted from the Humane Society a couple of weeks ago and in for his first visit with Dr. Self. He was an absolute dream of a patient—even for his nail trim!—and had the whole team smitten.

Fern (3-year-old Australian Shepherd Mix): Recently adopted from the Allegan County Animal Shelter. Even though she wasn't feeling her best, she remained incredibly sweet, calm, and relaxed throughout her exam.

Sully (11-week-old Aussiedoodle): Stopped by for his first puppy wellness visit and vaccines with Dr. Self. He did such a fantastic job that he got to pick out a special toy from the puppy prize basket!

Porkchop (12-week-old Domestic Shorthair): In for her first kitten wellness visit with Dr. Hagen. She was exceptionally friendly and highly motivated by snacks (pictured happily enjoying a Churu treat during her exam!).

Blair (10-week-old American Pitbull Mix): Back in for her next round of vaccines and a wellness check. We just can't get enough of those big, beautiful puppy-dog eyes!
