System Outage Update

Our clinic is currently experiencing an unexpected outage with our comuter systems. This means we are unable to access patient records, schedule and are limited in our ability to receive incoming calls at this time. If you have a scheduled appointment, we WILL still see your pet, but please be patient as we navigate these issues.

We are working hard to get our "paws" back on the keyboard and will update you the moment we are back online.

Celebrating the extraordinary canine heroes who change lives every single day! 🐕✨

September is National Service Dog Month. From guiding individuals with visual impairments to alerting owners to medical emergencies and more, service dogs perform incredible, lifesaving work.

Etiquette Tip: Always remember to never pet, feed, or distract a working service dog when they are in harness! 🛑

👋Join us in thanking these amazing working dogs and the dedicated trainers behind them! ❤️

September is Cat Month! 🐱

💤 From cozy nap spots to interactive playtime, our feline friends deserve the best. A truly happy cat is also a healthy cat! Regular wellness exams, proper dental care, and subtle environmental enrichment (like scratching posts and window perches) keep your cat purring all year long.

💖How are you spoiling your feline family member this month? Drop a photo of your happy kitty below! 👇🐾

Different abilities, endless love! September 21st marks the start of Deaf Dog Awareness Week. 🐾

✨ Deaf dogs are just as loving, trainable, and playful as any other pup. With hand signals, gentle touch, and positive reinforcement, they adapt wonderfully to family life!

Tips for living with a deaf pet:
👋 Use clear, consistent hand signs for commands.
💡 Use light signals (like flicking a flashlight) to call them in from the yard.
🐾 Always gently wake them up by touching them in the same spot so they aren't startled.
