🚨 Emergency Success Story: Meet Dixon! 🐾❤️

Sweet Dixon presented to us on April 14th with a GDV (Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus)—a life-threatening condition where the stomach fills with gas and twists on itself. This can cut off blood flow and quickly become fatal without immediate treatment.

Our ER team jumped into action and got Dixon into surgery as quickly as possible. After a successful procedure, Dixon did experience some post-operative complications and required hospitalization and close monitoring.

We are beyond happy to share that Dixon has made a full recovery and is now back at home with his loving family! 💕

Throughout his stay, Dixon was the most gentle, perfect patient—we absolutely adored caring for him. Stories like his remind us why emergency care is so important and how quickly intervention can save lives.

Way to go, Dixon! We’re so glad you’re feeling better! 🐶✨

🌸 Spring Into Prevention! 🐾

As the weather warms up, so do the risks for pesky parasites like fleas, ticks, and heartworms. These tiny troublemakers can cause big health problems for your pets—but the good news is they’re preventable!

💊 Monthly preventions are key to keeping your furry family members safe and healthy year-round.
🦟 Heartworms are spread by mosquitoes and can be life-threatening.
🕷️ Fleas and ticks can cause skin irritation, allergies, and transmit diseases.

Now is the perfect time to make sure your pet is protected! Whether you need to start prevention or refill your pet’s medications, we’re here to help every step of the way.

Give us a call today to get your pet set up for a safe, happy, and parasite-free spring! 🌷🐶🐱

🐾 Fun Friday Feature! 🐾

Everyone meet Arthur, the adorable Basset Hound puppy who stopped by for his booster vaccines! 💉🐶

With ears as long as his legs and a face you can’t help but love, Arthur definitely stole our hearts (and probably a few extra treats 😉). Isn’t he just the cutest? 🥰

Keeping up with booster vaccinations is so important to help protect puppies like Arthur as they grow big and strong. We’re so happy to be part of his journey!

Drop a ❤️ below if Arthur made you smile today!

🐾 February Pet of the Month: Molly! 🐾

We are excited to announce our February Pet of the Month — Molly! 💕

Molly is a sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who always brightens our day when she comes to visit. She’s a regular patient here at the hospital, and we absolutely loved seeing her during the month of February!

When Molly isn’t stopping by to say hello to our team, she enjoys spending time with her best bud, Shay. Together they love going on walks, hiking the trails, and exploring the great outdoors. Molly is also quite the little adventurer and loves traveling with her mom on fun adventures wherever the road may take them. 🐶🌄

Thank you for letting us be part of Molly’s care and adventures. We adore this sweet girl and can’t wait to see her again soon! ❤️

📸 Help us congratulate Molly as our February Pet of the Month!

🐾 ER Success Story: Peek is Feeling Better! 🐾

Last Thursday, sweet Peek came to our ER with an upset tummy and wasn’t feeling her best. Our emergency team jumped right in to give her the care and monitoring she needed. After spending the night with us for supportive care, we’re happy to share that Peek went home feeling much better and eating again!

Our ER team plays a crucial role in caring for pets when they need help the most—whether it’s the middle of the night, a sudden illness, or something that just can’t wait. We’re proud to be here for our regular clients and our entire community to make sure every pet gets the care they deserve.

Peek definitely kept us smiling during her stay… because let’s be honest, cuteness was never her issue! 💛

We’re wishing Peek a smooth and speedy continued recovery!

🐾 Fun Friday Featuring Jerry Pie! 🐾

We had the cutest visitor today—Jerry Pie! 🐶💛 Jerry Pie came in to see us for his first puppy vaccines and exam. He did such a great job! We always love seeing our puppy patients, especially when they’re as sweet as this little guy.

Puppy booster vaccines are an important part of keeping your pet healthy and protected as they grow. Boosters help strengthen your puppy’s immune system and protect them from serious illnesses like parvo, distemper, and other preventable diseases. Staying on schedule with these vaccines helps ensure your puppy can safely explore the world, meet new friends, and live a long, happy life.

Jerry Pie definitely earned some extra love (and maybe a treat or two 😉) for being such a brave boy today!

Drop a 🐾 in the comments to show Jerry Pie some love and share a photo of your pet enjoying Fun Friday with us! 💙

🦷🐾 February Dental Month is Wrapping Up! 🐾🦷

As we close out Dental Health Month, we want to remind our amazing pet parents just how important dental care is for your furry family members! Just like us, pets need regular dental care to stay happy and healthy.

Dental disease is one of the most common health issues we see in dogs and cats — and it can lead to:
✔️ Bad breath
✔️ Painful chewing
✔️ Tooth loss
✔️ Infections that may affect the heart, liver, and kidneys

The good news? Dental disease is preventable with routine check-ups, professional cleanings, and at-home care like brushing and dental chews.

Even though February is ending, dental health should be a year-round priority! If you have questions about your pet’s teeth, notice bad breath, or would like to schedule a dental exam, we’re here to help.

📞 Please give us a call if you have any questions or concerns about your pet’s dental health — our team is happy to help keep those tails wagging and smiles shining! 🐶🐱✨



Take a look below at the before and after of one our sweet patients today. They are ready to take on the rest of the year with a healthy mouth.

02/23/2026

🐾 Happy Monday from all of us at the clinic! 🐾

Just a friendly reminder to check your pet’s food supply, medications, and make sure those preventatives are up to date. A quick monthly check can make a big difference in keeping your furry family members happy and healthy!

We’ve loved seeing all of your sweet faces lately — from wiggly puppies to wise senior cats. Thank you for trusting us with their care. 💙

If your pet is due for a wellness exam or you have questions about their health, give us a call. We’re always happy to help!

Drop a photo of your pet in the comments — we’d love to see what they’re up to today! 🐶🐱

🐾 January Pet of the Month Spotlight 🐾

Meet Bocephus — or Bo for short! 💙
This sweet boy is a total cuddlebug who lives for snuggling at home with his family. If there’s an opportunity to be held, Bo is already there. 😻🤍

When he’s not soaking up the love, you’ll find him chasing the dot from a laser pointer like a pro 🔴✨ — and when it’s treat time, Bo’s heart belongs to canned tuna or chicken juice (the way to his soul, really). 🐟🍗

We’re so happy to feature Bo as our Pet of the Month and celebrate everything that makes him such a special guy! Drop a 🐾 in the comments to show Bo some love! 💕
