Meet Slippy!

"Slippy is never thrilled to visit the vet, but that never stops the incredible VRC team from providing the care and compassion he needs to feel better," says Slippy's owners. "Every time we make the difficult decision to bring him to the ER, we leave knowing he’s in the very best hands. The team is always patient and thorough in answering our many questions, and they consistently treat Slippy with a whole-patient approach, recognizing that just being at the vet can be stressful for him.

Slippy is also a regular with Dr. Wylie and Violet, who are absolutely AMAZING. Most of his visits involve follow-up testing or bloodwork, and they always make sure he's in and out quickly and as comfortably as possible. Caring for Slippy over the past three years hasn’t always been easy, but the support we’ve received from Dr. Wylie and Violet has made all the difference. We’ll be furever grateful for them.

Slippy is a true fighter. Seeing him bounce back from illness and enjoy life again brings us so much joy. He’s taught us more about resilience, strength, and unconditional love than we ever imagined possible."
