🐾 Please Do Not Adjust Your Screen... He Really Is That Tiny. 🐾

Everyone, meet Rocco, a 10-week-old Mini Schnauzer who made his first visit to Palencia Pet Clinic this week!

And when we say mini, we mean MINI.

Rocco tipped the scales at a whopping 2 pounds. 😳❤️

For perspective, some of our staff have lunch orders that weigh more than Rocco.

Despite his tiny size, he arrived with plenty of confidence, a whole lot of fluff, and enough cuteness to completely derail productivity for several minutes. (Maybe longer. We're still recovering.)

And can we talk about that second picture? That little tongue-out pose wasn't planned, but we're pretty sure Rocco knows exactly what he's doing. 😜

Welcome to the PPC family, Rocco! We can't wait to watch you grow from a 2-pound fluff ball into a full-sized heart thief.

🍩🐾 National Donut Day Detour 🐾🍩

Meet Hudson, a handsome 3-year-old Golden Retriever who apparently decided that if humans can drive themselves to get donuts, dogs should be able to walk themselves too. 😆

While visiting Palencia Pet Clinic, Hudson took matters into his own paws and grabbed his own leash, seemingly ready to lead his family straight to the nearest donut shop.

We can't confirm where he was headed, but based on that determined expression, we're pretty sure he had a maple bacon donut and a pup cup on his agenda. 🍩🐶

The good news? Hudson is an excellent leash walker.

The bad news? He may be plotting to become your personal tour guide anytime snacks are involved.

Happy National Donut Day, Hudson! Thanks for reminding us that sometimes the best adventures start when you take the leash into your own paws. 💙

🐾 Tilly: 4 Years Old. Professional Good Girl. Part-Time Comedian. 🐾

Some patients come in for their appointment.

Tilly came in and somehow became part of the staff. 😂

This beautiful 4-year-old red Golden Retriever was more than happy to participate in whatever shenanigans our team came up with, proving once again that Palencia Pet Clinic employs some of the biggest goofballs in town. ❤️

Thankfully, Tilly was an excellent sport and took her temporary role as "Clinic Entertainment Coordinator" very seriously. From supervising technicians to collecting belly rubs, she handled her responsibilities with professionalism and plenty of tail wags.

We're not saying she should be added to payroll... but we're not not saying it either. 😉

Thanks for making us smile, Tilly! We hope to see you back soon (our staff already misses their new coworker).

🐾😂 We interrupt your scrolling for this very important message from Layla 😂🐾

Layla, a 3-year-old pittie sweetheart, came to visit us at Palencia Pet Clinic and gave us TWO iconic looks:

📸 “I’m being such a good girl.”
📸 “OMG WAS THAT A TREAT?! 👅”

And honestly… those tiny little teefs have completely stolen our hearts 🥹💙

We may be a day late with this picture, but we are STILL loving the festive vibes from Sox and his family. They stopped by on Saturday and we could not love their patriotic coordination any more!

Thanks for being such an awesome part of our Palencia Family, Sox (& fam)!

Dr. Vencil grew up in Jacksonville Beach and knew from a young age that being a veterinarian was his calling. In pursuit of that goal, he attended the University of Florida, where he was awarded a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science followed by a Doctorate degree in Veterinary Medicine. During his...
