May is always a month of celebrations for us, with many upcoming team member Birthdays and Work-iversaries, anticipate hearing from us a lot about our team these next coming weeks!

Kayla, our assistant practice manager, is celebrating her 6 year Work-iversary this week (May 4th). When Kayla is working you can guarantee your cat will not miss out on snuggles and more than likely many photo ops! Kayla shares her home with her recently acclaimed fiancé and their own personal gang of cats, and is planning for her upcoming June 2026 wedding day! We enjoy having Kayla work with our practice, she brings balance to our leadership team and is always happy to care for the pets that come through our doors each and every day! Happy Work-iversary, Kayla, we'd be bored without your endless cat stories and videos 😜😘😻🎉

❤️🐾 April is Heartworm Awareness Month! 🐾❤️

Did you know that heartworm disease is 100% preventable but can be life-threatening if left untreated? Just one bite from an infected mosquito can put your pet at risk and here in the Midwest, that risk is real year-round.

The good news? Prevention is simple, safe, and long-lasting. Our injectable options take the stress out of monthly dosing and keep your pet protected without the guesswork.

🎉 Bonus this month: Any dog that receives a ProHeart 12 injection in April will be entered into a drawing to win a FREE BarkBox! 🐶📦

Let’s keep your pets happy, healthy, and heartworm-free! 💪🐶🐱
