🎥 Meet Laurel, Veterinary Journalist Expert! 🐾💚

Dr. Honeycutt had the pleasure of being interviewed by first grader: Laurel, one of our clients’ daughters, for a school research project about community helpers!

Laurel chose veterinarians for her project because she loves animals, and she came prepared with some great questions! 🐶🐱

⚕️What do veterinarians do?
👚What do veterinarians wear?
🩺What tools do veterinarians use?
🐶How do veterinarians help the community?

We had so much fun chatting with Laurel and sharing a little bit about what it’s like to be a veterinarian. We hope you enjoy watching their interview as much as we enjoyed being a part of her project! 🐾💙

Four years and one week ago today, our eagerly anticipated Gazebo was delivered and set up! 🎉

We created this space specifically for anxious pups who feel more comfortable having their exams outdoors rather than in the clinical setting of an exam room. 🐾💚

If you think your pup would feel more comfortable with an outdoor exam, be sure to ask about our Gazebo at their next appointment! We’re always happy to help make their visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible. 🥰

🐾💙 7 Years of Fear Free Care! 🎉

Today, we’re celebrating 7 years as a Fear Free Pets Certified practice! What started as a commitment to making veterinary visits more comfortable has become an important part of how we care for every patient who walks through our doors. 🐶🐱💙

We know that a trip to the vet can be stressful for some pets. That’s why we work every day to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress (FAS) and create positive experiences that help our patients feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

✨ Some of the ways we practice Fear Free include:

💙 Lots of treats, praise & positive distractions
🩵 Calming pheromones & soothing music
💙 Taking our time and never rushing our patients
🩵 Recommending pre-visit calming medications when appropriate
💙 Watching and listening to our patients’ body language and cues
🩵 Performing exams wherever the patient feels most comfortable
💙 Gentle handling and positive reinforcement
🩵 Giving our patients choices and allowing them to set the pace whenever possible...and that’s just the beginning! 🐾

The photos you see here are a few of our favorite Fear Free moments from the past seven years. Little moments that remind us how meaningful it is to create a veterinary experience built on patience, trust, and compassion. 🥰

We are so proud of our team for continuing to learn, grow, and find new ways to make veterinary care a more positive experience for our patients. Most importantly, we’re grateful to all of the pets and their families who have trusted us along the way. 💙

Here’s to 7 years of Fear Free care - and to many more happy, comfortable, and low-stress visits! 🎉🐾

If it were up to us, every day would be International Dog Day! 🐶🐕🐾

Dogs bring so much joy, love, laughter, and unconditional companionship into our lives, so they deserve to be celebrated every single day. But today, we have an extra special reason to give our four-legged friends some extra attention and appreciation! ❤️

Whether your favorite pup is playful, cuddly, adventurous, goofy, or simply the best snuggle buddy around, we want to see them! 🐾💙Share a photo or comment of your favorite dog in the comments below. 👇🐕
