Join us on October 31st from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM for an evening packed with Halloween fun, community spirit, and plenty of treats throughout downtown!

🐾 Pet Parade: One of the evening's most anticipated events, the Pet Parade, will kick off from Waynesville Animal Hospital at 6:00 PM. If you'd like to participate, please arrive by 5:30 PM to get lined up and ready to go. The parade route will travel up Depot Street, down Main Street, and then down Church Street, finishing at The Dog Bar, where our furry participants will be rewarded for their hard work.

🛍️ Vendor Market Be sure to stop by our vendor market located in the United Community Bank parking lot. You'll find unique local makers, artists, and vendors offering all kinds of Halloween goodies, handcrafted items, gifts, and more. Bring a little spending money in case you discover something you can't live without!

🍬 Support Our Local Merchants While trick-or-treating is completely free, this event is made possible by the generous support of our downtown merchants and businesses. They help make all that candy happen, so be sure to visit their shops, check out their offerings, and show them some love while you're enjoying the festivities.

💰 Planning Ahead Trick-or-treating is free for everyone, but food, beverages, and vendor purchases will be available for purchase, so don't forget to bring some cash or a payment card.

🍻 Social District Reminder This Halloween falls during Waynesville's Social District hours. If you choose to enjoy an adult beverage while celebrating, please do so responsibly and always prioritize the safety of our families, children, and community members.

We can't wait to see everyone downtown for a fun-filled evening of costumes, treats, shopping, entertainment, and Halloween memories. See you at Treats on the Street! 🎃👻🧡

A big shoutout to Swain County Animal Services for partnering with us for last Thursday and Friday’s discounted spay/neuter days!

Our team appreciated both the opportunity to help care for these cats and all the work their team put into making the two days run so smoothly. There’s a lot that goes into coordinating days like these, and we’re grateful for the effort and care they brought to every part of the process. 💜

We loved the opportunity to work alongside their team and hope we can find the time do to it again soon! 🐾

If we were slower to return any calls or requests while our team was caring for patients, we apologize for the inconvenience. We appreciate everyone’s understanding! If you want to learn more about spay/neuter services right at home, feel free to reach out through our website and our team is happy to connect!

Wrapping up Vet Tech Week with a little hard work and a little pumpkin spice! 🎃

Our team was back at Swain County Animal Services today for our discounted neuter day, trying to help make care a little more accessible for local pets.

On the way home, a stop at Darnell Farms to try the pumpkin spice float felt like a fitting way to celebrate the end of a busy tech week!

Whisker Waggin’ wouldn’t be what it is today without the hard work and care our team puts into it (shoutout Hailey 🙌🏼). We’re proud of this crew and the work we do, and we love being part of this community! 💜

Vet Tech Thursday, and we’re running out of ways to say how much we appreciate our team! 😂💜

Today, the Whisker Waggin’ crew is putting their skills to work in Bryson City for our first discounted spay day in partnership with Swain County Animal Services! Tomorrow, we’ll be back for a dedicated neuter day, too!

We’re excited to learn from these first two days and find ways to serve more pets at future events. As we look to increase the number of patients we can accommodate, our hope is to bring costs down further and make this care accessible to more families. 🐾

Vet Tech Wednesday is here! 🩺

We are continuing the week this hump day with a look at the many roles techs fill throughout their shift!

Vet techs collect samples and run lab tests, take X-rays, place IV catheters, administer medications, and monitor patients during anesthesia and recovery (Hailey’s favorite part 🙌🏼). They prepare for procedures, document care, help families understand instructions for home, and comfort nervous patients. Their skills and observations give veterinarians essential support throughout each pet’s care.

At Whisker Waggin’, Hailey’s role includes all of that, plus some responsibilities beyond typical patient care. In our small practice, she also steps into her role as a receptionist answering phone calls, our own photographer for social media, and she always has a hand in our event planning!

From supporting Dr. Courtney during appointments to helping us stay connected with our clients and community, Hailey has a hand in so much of what keeps our little clinic moving. Beyond our own clinic, we send our appreciation to all RVT’s that keep their clinics running smoothly this week 🤝💜

Vet Tech Tuesday!! 💉

Our Veterinary Technician Week continues as we highlight what it takes to be a registered vet tech. A love for animals is a great start, but there’s a lot of education and hands-on training behind the title. 🐾

Becoming a veterinary technician typically takes two to four years of education, with plenty of studying, clinical experience, and hard work along the way. It takes dedication to build those skills, and a commitment to keep learning as veterinary medicine evolves.

At Whisker Waggin’, that foundation also comes with flexibility. Working in a mobile clinic means making the most of a smaller space, adapting to different locations, and working closely as a two-person team.

When you see our team caring for your pet, you’re seeing that education, clinical judgment, and compassion at work. 💜

We’re starting this Monday with some appreciation for the people who do so much for our pets: happy Veterinary Technician Week! 💜🐾

Veterinary technicians bring medical knowledge, practical skills, and compassion to every appointment. From monitoring anesthesia and collecting lab samples to comforting a nervous patient and helping families understand their pet’s care, their work takes careful attention and a whole lot of heart.

At Whisker Waggin’, we’re especially grateful for our Registered Veterinary Technician, Hailey! As a two-person clinical team, we see every day how much her contributions matter. She has helped keep our days running smoothly, build routines and protocols, and shape our practice from its earliest days.

This week recognizes the compassion, skill, and hard work veterinary technicians bring to their role every day. We know our little clinic on wheels wouldn’t be the same without ours. 💜
