We would like to extend our sincerest appreciation to Dr. Muwanas and Dr. Card on Veterinary Appreciation Day. Both of you are outstanding professionals, demonstrating exceptional care and compassion not only to our patients but also to our staff. Your thoughtful gestures, such as bringing in treats, exemplify your kindness and dedication. You consistently go above and beyond, providing top-notch care to our patients as if they were your own. We're grateful for your tireless efforts and wish you a wonderful day❣️

In our profession, veterinarians and veterinary technicians frequently encounter negative perceptions, being labeled as 'greedy' and 'motivated solely by financial gain.' Regrettably, we often face severe verbal abuse, threats, and emotional manipulation from clients who express sentiments such as 'you only want to help my pet if I pay a large sum of money.' The truth is that veterinary professionals enter this field driven by a deep affection for animals, spanning from large animal medicine to companion animals like felines, canines, exotics, and reptiles. Frequently, we find ourselves emotionally invested, often crying for patients that are not our own on our commute home and empathizing with the pet owners we interact with daily.

Recently, we were humbled by a heartwarming gesture from a pet owner whose dog was bitten by a rattlesnake and received tireless care from our team over three days, amidst a demanding schedule of other critical cases and surgeries. The dog has made a remarkable recovery, and the owners' gratitude has been overwhelming. We wish to remind everyone of the importance of kindness, whether interacting with our staff or visiting any veterinary facility. We are driven by our passion for animal welfare and our commitment to providing care, not by financial gain or personal recognition. We appreciate the kind words you bring to the clinic as well as patience and thoughtful gestures, such as bringing snacks, which are always welcome🤣🥰.

Happy National Veterinary Receptionist Week!

This week, we’re recognizing the incredible team members who keep our front desk running and our days on track. Our receptionists are the first friendly hello, the reassuring voice on the phone, and the steady hand behind the scenes, making sure every patient and client is cared for.

To our amazing team — Micky and Alora — thank you for your kindness, your patience, and your ability to juggle it all with grace (and a sense of humor!). You make a difference in more ways than most people ever see.

We appreciate you today and every day! Be sure to give them a little extra love if you see them this week!

PSA: We are no longer taking Chewy request or prescription requests from outsourced pharmacies any more. We have our current online pharmacy “Covetrus” that will be switching as we launch to a new online pharmacy called “Vetcove” Next Thursday:)
We can have a written prescription made up for you to have medications filled at other pharmacies such as Walgreens Walmart etc. etc. upon your request.
We are trying to have a smooth transition for you all to continue to get your pets medications ordered in a timely manner. Please contact us with any questions!!
