A microchip can help reunite your pet with your family if the worst case should happen. But it only works as intended when the contact information connected to it is accurate.

National Check the Chip Day is a simple reminder to look up your pet's registration and make updates if needed. Misplaced your pet's microchip number? Give us a call to find out how our staff can help.

Back-to-school season means new schedules, quieter homes, and routines that look a little different. Whether it is a family dog watching the kids get on the bus or a cat whose college student owner just moved out, pets notice these changes.

A little planning goes a long way. Keeping routines consistent, offering enrichment, and easing pets into time alone can help them adjust as the household shifts.

And more exciting news! Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Dr. Sung Park (and his adorable cat, December)! 🐾

One of our new veterinarians, Dr. Park joined Firgrove Veterinary earlier this month, and we couldn't be more excited to have him on the team.

Dr. Park brings a wealth of experience in emergency veterinary medicine for both pets and livestock. Before joining Firgrove, he worked as a mixed animal vet at a rural emergency hospital in Minnesota, where he sharpened his surgical skills caring for all kinds of animals.

For Dr. Park, helping others is a life purpose. He loves working alongside diverse species, and he dreams of one day practicing veterinary medicine in many different countries around the world. But what stands out most is his heart.

"I work as hard as I can," Dr. Park shared. "I think a lot about what others are going through and how I can make their day a little bit better."

Compassionate, dedicated, and driven by care for both patients and their people — Dr. Park is a perfect fit for our community.

We have some exciting news to share! Please join us in welcoming Dr. Natalie Harrington to the Firgrove Veterinary family! 🎉 Dr. Harrington joined us earlier this month as an Associate Veterinarian and is now seeing patients.

Dr. Harrington earned her DVM from Washington State University and holds a BS in Evolution, Ecology, and Conservation from the University of Washington. Her experience spans clinic work, transfusion medicine, and radiology, with special interests in animal behavior and soft tissue surgery.

She is a certified Cat Friendly Veterinarian® through the Feline Veterinary Medical Association and is completing her Fear Free certification. Dr. Harrington is deeply committed to patients' mental well-being and to minimizing stress for better outcomes.

"I provide well-rounded, holistic care to my patients, including preventive medicine, pain management, nutritional guidance, and behavioral support," Dr. Harrington shared. "I know how important my own pet's health is to me, and I am honored to contribute to that for others. I look forward to building long-term connections with pets, families, and the local community."

When she's not in the clinic, you'll find Dr. Harrington hiking, camping, tide pooling, painting, cooking, and sewing. She shares her home with four pets: black cats Boki (anxious but very chatty) and Howl (always looking for trouble), Labrador retriever Mercy (a fan of holding hands, late-night snacks, and long beach walks), and tabby cat Vesper — self-appointed fun police of the household. 🐾

We are so thrilled to welcome Dr. Harrington to our team! ♥️ Learn more about her on our website: https://bit.ly/45tBNJy

Summer is for exploring, and your pet deserves to be part of the adventure. Whether you are planning a road trip, a weekend away, or a visit to family, a little preparation goes a long way.

Pack familiar items to help your pet feel at ease in new places. Plan for regular breaks, fresh water, and a comfortable spot in the car. And before you hit the road, check in with your veterinary team to make sure your pet is ready for the journey.

Summer means more time outside, and more time outside means more exposure to fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. These parasites can affect your pet’s comfort, health, and overall happiness.

The good news is that prevention is easier than treatment. With a little foresight and the right plan, your pet can enjoy every backyard hangout, hike, and road trip this season. Ask our veterinary team about summer parasite protection.
