🐾 PSA for Pet Parents! 🍫🍬

Did you know THC edibles are extremely attractive to dogs?
Sweet smells, sugary coatings, and chewy textures make them seem just like treats — but even small amounts can be dangerous for your pup.

👉 Keep edibles stored high, sealed tight, and far away from curious noses.
👉 If your dog ever gets into cannabis products, contact your vet or an emergency clinic right away.

Let’s keep our furry friends safe! 🐶❤️

There are fungus among us! After a very dry summer, the fall mushroom season is here! 🍄 While wild fungi can be intriguing, many are toxic to pets and humans, causing serious health issues.

Stay vigilant and prioritize safety! 🐶🐾

Did you know that telehealth consults are available in veterinary medicine? Virtual triage and telehealth services can help alleviate pressure on physical clinics by guiding pet owners through non-critical situations remotely. While telehealth vets can't prescribe medications they CAN help you decide whether or not your pet requires care right away or perhaps can wait for your family veterinarian to be available. We offer a link to a telehealth option on our website. Links to more information in first comment.

We know it can be incredibly stressful when your pet needs care and you are told there is a wait or a need to travel to another facility -- often outside your local area -- for help.

Over and over we hear: “Why can’t you just hire more staff?”

The truth? We wish it were that simple. The veterinary field is facing a nationwide shortage of qualified veterinarians, technicians, and support staff. There are simply not enough licensed professionals available to meet our need. Those who are in the field are working incredibly hard to care for every animal they can. We’re actively doing everything we can to support our team and provide the best care possible, and we add to our team (120 and counting) every day. In the meantime, we ask for your continued patience and kindness.
