In November of 2025 our hospital embarked on a new training adventure for all of our staff. Our hopes and dreams are to better educate, equip, and support our staff, clients, and patients. This program has allowed every department to access skills, information, and training across various topics. We hope to continue to hone our skills and knowledge through this program!

AtDove is a comprehensive online veterinary training platform offering hundreds of videos, articles, and RACE-approved CE for veterinary teams. It provides practical, real-case education for veterinarians, technicians, assistants and receptionists. It covers topics from basic skills to advanced surgery. We plan to use this as a better way for staff onboarding and continuing education for all support staff.💪

Atdove provides us with...
Comprehensive Content: Covering surgery, anesthesia, emergency triage, radiology, and patient care.
Real-Life Cases: Training is based on cases from an AAHA-accredited emergency hospital.
Team Roles: Tailored content for technicians (e.g., catheter placement), veterinarians (e.g., surgical techniques), and receptionists (e.g., client communication).
Convenient Learning: Allows for self-paced training, quick, on-the-fly, refreshers, and CE tracking.

Continuing education (CE) for veterinary professionals is mandatory and ongoing training required to maintain licensure. It helps staff keep pace with medical advancements, and enhances clinical skills. It includes, but is not limited to, RACE-approved courses, live webinars, conferences, and seminars on topics like clinical science, pharmacology, practice management, and much more. 🤓

Our goal is to provide the best care possible to our patients, while also educating our clients and staff. We want to keep our full support staff up to date on skills and information to better serve all of our furry friends. 🐾💙🐾

Support your older pets through these cold winter months! Cold weather exacerbates Osteoarthritis (OA) in dogs by causing joint fluid to thicken, muscles to stiffen, and barometric pressure changes that increase inflammation.

Today wraps up National Technician Appreciation Week at Town and CountryAnimalHospital. We ended the week with a BBQ lunch! 🤤

One week really isn't enough to express how much our staff is appreciated. Each department brings something to the table that is vital to the success of our practice.

The CSRs keep us organized, informed, and ready to start the day. The kennel technicians make sure every single patient is comfortable, cared for, and heard. The RVTs and assistants provide any nursing care, diagnostics, and treatments needed. Our DVMs treat, diagnose, and educate our patients and clients. Management keeps our doors open to continue to provide the best medical care we can.

Everyone is important. Everyone is appreciated. Everyone is amazing. We see you all. We hear you all. And we can't thank you enough for choosing veterinary medicine as your career.

Thank you all again!🐾

Finishing off our Thursday with a little bit of pampering. We set up some tables for staff to get some goodies. 🤩 Abby wrote out some inspirational notes for everyone to remember just how special and important they are to Town and Country. She wants everyone to know it is important to not only care for the patients but themselves as well. 💙 Even if it's just an end of the day shower to hose off those smells. 🛁 Add in a steamer and some lotion! Don't forget some chapstick and a nice reusable bag to carry your goodies in! 😻 We all love a good pen and notebook to keep our thoughts in order. (We are actually pen snobs) A keychain and bracelet to remember just why we do what we do.🐾 And don't forget to get your car smelling great for that end of the day drive home. (Sometimes you need to drown out the smell of a**l glands 👀)

Alright folks. The one we have all been waiting for. He is the peanut butter to our jelly. 🥜The cheese to our macaroni. 🧀 The man. The myth. The legend. Dr. James Radcliffe! 🩺

Dr. Radcliffe is the primary Veterinarian at Town and Country Animal Hospital. He founded the practice in 1981. And has been practicing ever since. He is the definition of dedication. He goes above and beyond the call of duty. He makes himself available 7 days a week. 365 days a year. 💙

Dr. Radcliffe’s dream since the age of twelve was to be a veterinarian.He graduated from Triadelphia High School, West Virginia University (B.S. in Animal Science), and Purdue University’s School of Veterinary Medicine (1979). After 40 years of practice he is still kicking butt during surgery and mentoring new graduates. Dr. Radcliffe enjoys educating others and loves to do speaking engagements whenever possible. 🎤

Dr. R, as he is called at the hospital, is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), the West Virginia Veterinary Medical Association, and the Scottish Deerhound Club of America. 🤩

Dr. Radcliffe enjoys speaking on topics such as geriatrics, performance injuries, canine physical rehabilitation, pain management, and Stem Cell Therapy. He is also the president elect of the West Virginia Board of Veterinary Medicine. People come from various states across the country to see Dr. R. He even has people in Canada who travel to see him. 👀

Dr. Radcliffe has one daughter, Abigail. He enjoys reading, romping with his hounds, and hanging with his grandsons when not at the hospital. He has a 3-legged cat named Linky who enjoys spending time with his wife, Judy. His favorite color is blue. Even after a full day of work he can be found in the big park by the hospital letting his hounds run. His new obsession has been TikTok videos of dogs. 🤣

Dr. Radcliffe loves his job, his clients, his patients, and his staff. He is our rock in the storm. We absolutely could not do what we do without him. We love ya R! Thank you for everything.

Abby is the Practice Owner and Manager at Town and Country Animal Hospital. She is our fearless leader! 💪

Abby's favorite color is teal, although black and grey were contenders too. She loves the ocean, camping with her family, swimming, and sitting by a fire.🏕 One of her favorite things to do is just be with her kids (and their friends). She tries her best to be a good support system for them. Watching them thrive and succeed in their endeavors is the best! Listening/watching them play music (Steel drums are a favorite).🥁 Abby enjoys being home with her crew of critters too. Especially her flock of feathered friends. She enjoys the beautiful sunrises and sunsets up on the hill. They give her a nice mood boost when needed. 🌄

Veterinary medicine is a big passion for Abby. Growing up in the practice with her dad has taught her a lot over the years. (If you don't know already, Dr. Radcliffe is her father!) In fact, she loves getting to learn new stuff and pass it on to our clients and staff. Veterinary medicine is always expanding and changing. Keeping up with the best practices is necessary to provide the best care possible. 🩺

Abby has quite the arsenal of underused technical skills. So much that she has recently surprised the staff with some blood drawing skills! 🤣 Her favorite part of veterinary medicine is radiology. She understands the value of a good radiograph. (Including proper positioning and attention to detail) Abby enjoys sharing this knowledge with staff when needed. Bandaging is a second place favorite skill. Growing up in a world where Greyhounds were a staple has given her the skills needed to apply a good bandage. 😉

Abby is very proud of our facility and promises to continue to improve it as much as she can. She has a tendency to knock walls down as needed to expand. 🫣

She likes it best when her staff is smiling, positive and laughing (hopefully when appropriate 😆) throughout the day! Just like with her own family, she wants to provide the support and tools needed to practice kick butt medicine and thrive here in little ol’ Marshall county WV.

Abby has a weakness for donuts & Reese’s peanut butter cup blizzards made with chocolate ice cream from Dairy Queen. 👀🍦

Abby is compassionate and empathetic in her role as owner and manager. We appreciate everything she does to keep our doors open. She is resilient and optimistic in the ever changing world of veterinary medicine. Abby is a dedicated mom to her two boys. Nicholas and Anthony. She can often be found juggling after school activities and appointments while managing the day to day operations of Town and Country.

We wouldn't be able to provide the care we do without her support as owner and manager. We appreciate YOU Abby!

(She has organized all the cool treats, foods, decorations and appreciation gifts this week.) You did great!! 🥳 Thank you!!
