⛈ Anxiety doesn't just affect humans-our pets experience it too! And summertime brings extra stressors like travel, fireworks and thunderstorms. We are here to help you and your pet enjoy the season.

If you notice signs of stress or anxiety in your pet schedule an appointment so we can discuss ways to help them feel more comfortable and supported.

As flowers bloom, so do risks for our pets with plenty of opportunity for them to breathe in particles, scratch an eye, poke a paw, or even get snagged by a branch or thorn, all which could potentially lead to infections.

Infections can be sneaky subtle-If your pet is not acting right and you are not sure what it is, get them checked! Like with most conditions, the sooner we treat an infection, the better your pet will feel.

Does your pet resemble a certain celebrity or character? Specifically, a green one with pointy ears, that wears a robe, and eats frogs? 🙃

Share their picture and tell us who their doppelgänger is !

We will resume normal business hours the following day.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day ❤️

From learning how we check heartbeats to seeing how we help keep our furry friends healthy, their curiosity and kindness were truly inspiring. Thank you for visiting us, girls—the future of animal care looks bright!

🌟 April Employee of the Month Spotlight: Haley! 🌟

This month, we’re excited to recognize Haley for going above and beyond for our team. 🐾

Haley was nominated for sticking around after her doggie daycare shifts to help finish out kennel duties—because apparently one shift just isn’t enough 😄

When things get busy, Haley is quick to jump in and help wherever she’s needed, and that extra effort has made a big difference for the kennel team.

Thank you, Haley, for always being willing to pitch in and keep things running smoothly. We appreciate you!

👏 Give Haley a shoutout in the comments!
