🐾 Kitten & Puppy Season Is Here! 🐾

The habits you build now can make a lifetime of veterinary visits and grooming much less stressful.

Start handling your new puppy or kitten's:
✔️ Paws and toes
✔️ Ears
✔️ Tail
✔️ Mouth

Regular, gentle handling helps them become comfortable with nail trims, exams, grooming, and everyday care. Even if their nails don't need trimming yet, getting them used to having their feet touched is an important first step!

A few minutes of positive interaction each day can help set your furry friend up for success.

🌡️🐾 A Friendly Reminder: Never Leave Your Dog in a Hot Car

Even on a mild day, the temperature inside a parked vehicle can rise to dangerous levels within minutes. Cracking the windows does little to prevent heat buildup, and dogs can quickly suffer from heatstroke, organ damage, or worse.

If you're running errands, leave your pet safely at home where it's cool and comfortable. If you see a dog showing signs of distress in a vehicle, contact local authorities immediately.

Signs of heatstroke include:
🐕 Excessive panting
🐕 Drooling
🐕 Weakness or collapse
🐕 Vomiting
🐕 Bright red gums

Let's work together to keep our furry friends safe this summer! ❤️

Hello June 🌞🐾

A new month is here, which means it is the perfect time to make sure your pet is up to date on their prevention!

Fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites do not take a break in the summer months, so keeping your pet protected year-round is one of the best ways to keep them happy and healthy. 💙

If you are due for refills or need help getting your pet back on track, give us a call and we are happy to help!

🌟 Staff Spotlight: Sami 🌟

Meet Sami, one of our wonderful veterinary technicians! Sami has been part of our clinic family for 5 years this June and currently works part-time while raising her daughters. Her favorite part of the job is all the cuddles. She says she has been obsessed with animals since birth, so getting to spend her days with them means everything and keeps her heart happy. 💜

What Sami loves most about working here is that everyone shares the same passion for loving and caring for pets. Plus, her coworkers always keep her laughing! She also loves veterinary medicine because it gives her the opportunity to help sick patients feel better and improve their quality of life.

When she is not at work, Sami enjoys camping, bird watching and photography, and spending time playing with her husband & two daughters. She has a special love for wildlife, especially raccoons, possums, and skunks. 🦝

At home, Sami has quite the furry family, including her soul dog Rumple, an 11.5-year-old Shar-pei mix, Maple, a true mutt with over 15 breeds who is 4.5 years old, Theodore Blueberry, an 11.5-year-old DSH, and Cobweb, a 7-year-old DSH. 🐾

One of her favorite stories is about Rumple, who was her 11th foster during his first year of life because of severe separation anxiety. He could escape nearly any kennel, even ones designed for baby bear cubs! Now he is a total angel who never leaves his momma’s side. 💙

✨ Fun Facts About Sami:
🧦 She has not worn matching socks since 7th grade
🐦 She can identify over 20 birds just by their sounds
☕ Go-to coffee: Iced cold brew with sweet cold foam
🍭 Favorite treats: Sweet snacks, always!
😴 Early bird or night owl? Neither. Sami proudly calls herself a “nap queen”

We are so lucky to have Sami as part of our team! 💜
