Puppy chaos = the best kind of chaos! 🥳

Yesterday we had a very fun (and very busy!) day when our friends from Pooches United with People Rescue brought in 15 puppies for their checkups! We had to take them in batches just to keep the adorable chaos under control. 😅

All of these sweet, healthy pups are looking for their forever homes and will be at PUP’s adoption event this Saturday, November 8th from 12:30–2:30pm at Pet Evolution (1074 Grand Ave, St. Paul). If you've been thinking of a new furry family member, we encourage you to stop by!🥰

🐈Did you know we offer a Referral Program?! 🦜

Our clinic relies on positive feedback and word of mouth! If you're happy with the care we have provided to you and your pets, please share the love with your friends and family — and get rewarded!

🐾 When you refer a new client to us, you both get a $50 credit to be used toward future vet visits!🐾

✨ Your friend gets $50 off their first visit
✨ You’ll receive a $50 credit on your account after their first appointment

It’s our way of saying thank you for trusting us and helping us care for more pets in our community! ☺

🎃 Halloween is almost here!🎃

While this is a fun and festive time for us, it can often be a stressful night for our pets.

You know your pet best — if you think Halloween (or other noisy, high-activity holidays) might be tough for them, give us a call to schedule an appointment with one of our veterinarians. We can discuss short-term anti-anxiety medication or other strategies to help your pet feel calm and comfortable.

If your pet already has a prescription for anxiety medication, now is the time to check your supply and call us for a refill if you’re running low. 🐾💜
