🎄 Welcome to our 12 Days of Christmas: Healthy Pet Products Series! 🎄
Each day leading up to Christmas, we’ll be highlighting one of our favorite veterinarian-recommended products to help keep your pets healthy, happy, and thriving through the holidays and into the new year. From joint support to skin health, probiotics to dental care, we’re sharing the essentials our team trusts most.

Let’s begin with Day 1: Dasuquin!
As pets age, or simply stay active, joint comfort becomes an important part of their overall wellness. Dasuquin is one of the most trusted joint supplements in veterinary medicine, supporting cartilage health, mobility, and long-term comfort. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or curling up beside the fire, Dasuquin helps keep them moving with ease.

Give your furry friend the gift of comfort this holiday season. ❤️🐾

🎉 Celebrating a Legend — Happy Birthday, Dr. Bates! 🎉

This week, our team kicked off the festivities with a giant balloon celebration (because how else do you celebrate a big deal like Dr. Bates?). And today, we get to continue the fun by wishing a very special happy birthday to the man who has been the heart of our hospital for 42 incredible years.

Dr. Bates isn’t just our practice owner and veterinarian; he’s a cornerstone of this community. His clients adore him, our team looks up to him, and every pet that walks through our doors feels the impact of his kindness, experience, and genuine love for what he does.

His dedication has shaped our entire practice, his passion inspires us daily, and his presence makes this place feel like home. Simply put: Dr. Bates is a huge deal, and we are so grateful to celebrate him today!

🎂🐾 Happy Birthday, Dr. Bates! Here’s to many more years of healing, leading, mentoring, and making a difference in the lives of pets and the people who love them. 🐾🎂

Drop your birthday wishes below, we know he’d love to read them! 💙

☕🐾 Happy National Espresso Day! ☕🐾

We know many of us can’t start the day without that cup (or two!) of coffee, but remember, what gives you energy can be dangerous for your pets!

🚫 Caffeine is toxic to dogs, cats, and other small pets. Even small amounts of coffee, espresso, or tea can cause restlessness, rapid heart rate, tremors, or worse. Don’t forget, coffee grounds, beans, and flavored creamers can be risky too!

So while you enjoy your favorite brew today, keep it out of paw’s reach and enjoy responsibly. ❤️🐶🐱
