May is National Pet Month 🐾
A little extra appreciation for the pets who make our lives brighter, happier, and full of unconditional love. Give them an extra treat, a longer walk, or just a little more cuddle time—you both deserve it. 💛

POV: Meeting the "Clinic Mom" who keeps us all together. 📋❤️

Next up in our meet-the-team series is our Practice Manager, Cortney!

If you’ve been to Lakeside, you know she’s the heart of this place. She’s officially our "Clinic Mom"—the one who makes sure we’ve all had water, the one who keeps the snacks stocked, and the first person we run to when we need a hand.

From her pigtail days to now, Cortney has always been:
✨ The one with the best, most infectious laugh in the entire building.
✨ The designated "snuggle expert" for every patient, from bunnies to bearded dragons.
✨ The person who is always down to stop for a quick photo (clearly, she’s been a pro since day one!).

Whether she’s loving a patient or just making us smile during a crazy shift, we’d be lost without her. We love you, Cortney! 🐾✨

Stay tuned to meet the rest of the Lakeside crew!

Man we are so lucky to have both of these Golden Girls here at Lakeside Animal Hospital.

Even though we only have Maple for the day, we are getting in our snuggles and love on this sweet golden puppy! Dr. Ollis hugs are the best!

A day spent with a golden puppy is one of the best days life can offer!

POV: You’re meeting the team behind the wagging tails. 🐾🏥

We’re hopping on the trend to introduce you to the humans who make the magic happen here at Lakeside Animal Hospital! From the life-saving diagnoses to the "who’s a good boy" baby voices, get to know the faces behind the scrubs.

Starting off with our Fearless Leader, Dr. Ollis! 🩺✨
Whether she’s solving medical mysteries or leading the pack through a busy surgery day, she’s the glue that keeps us all together (and usually the one with the most dog hair on her coat to prove it)

Stay tuned to meet the rest of the crew—the technicians, the receptionists, and the chaos coordinators who love your pets as much as you do!

It only takes one mosquito bite to transmit heartworm disease. 🦟 Heartworms live in the heart and lungs and can cause serious, potentially life-threatening damage often before noticeable symptoms appear.

The good news: heartworm disease is preventable with regular medication. Protect your pet year-round and stay ahead of the risk. Call (615) 761-9448 to learn more about prevention options.

Did you know cats don’t just smell — they actually “taste” scents? 👃🐱
They use a special organ (the vomeronasal or Jacobson’s organ) and the Flehmen response (that funny face) to learn about food, territory, and friends. Scent is a huge part of how cats explore and communicate.

Celebrate National Pet ID Week by giving your furry friends a little extra peace of mind! 🌟 A fresh tag (or updated microchip info) means they’ll find their way back home faster, no matter the adventure. Take a moment today to double check that name, phone number, and any health notes are current. Let’s keep our four legged explorers safe and sound! 🐾

Even a quick outdoor adventure can expose an indoor cat to parasites, injuries, or infections. If your cat goes outside occasionally, make sure you’re protecting them with:

• Up-to-date vaccinations
• Annual wellness exams
• Microchip + visible ID tag
• Year-round parasite prevention (fleas, ticks and yes, cats can get heartworm)
• Supervised outings (harnesses or a secure yard) and a quick check for ticks/wounds after time outside
