Sadie understood the assignment. 🩸🐾

She came in, rolled up a paw, and donated blood to help a dog who needed it after surgery.

Just a very good girl doing a very big thing. We love you, Sadie! 💛

Forever grateful for a nursing team that leads with compassion (and never says no to a cuddle).

Not all heroes wear capes.
Some wear a vest… and accept scritches as payment. 🐾

Jimmy’s superpower?
Showing up when things are heavy and making space feel lighter — one paw at a time.

We loved welcoming Jimmy, the LVMPD emotional support dog, and his handler Darryl, and helping make sure this hardworking pup is healthy, happy, and ready to keep supporting our community when it matters most.

Grateful to care for Jimmy — we’ll always show up for the helpers, treats and belly rubs included. 💙🐾

Had an absolute blast last night at our CE in honor of American Heart Health Month ❤️🐾

Dr. Kelley Doocy, DVM, DACVIM makes cardiology approachable, practical, and even fun — with a big emphasis on prevention and helping hearts do what they’re meant to do: squeeze well. We loved sharing the evening learning alongside our community partners.

If you have a pup or cat who may need cardiology care, you can book directly with our team here:

Huge thank you to Antech Diagnostics for sponsoring and helping make the night such a success!

ER medicine can be fast, emotional, and unpredictable — and our team handles it with compassion, teamwork, and a whole lot of heart.

This is our ER & Critical Care crew: doctors, assistants, and nurses who watch over patients around the clock, problem-solve on the fly, and still find time to make sure patients are warm, comfortable, and cared for (yes, sometimes in an Las Vegas Veterinary Specialty Center shirt 🥹).

Our hearts are full. 💛

We recently held a donation drive for our dear friends at Tommy Cat Foundation, who do incredible work rescuing and caring for differently-abled cats. Thanks to the kindness of our community, these special cats are feeling so much love.

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, and helped support a rescue that truly has a heart for the ones who need it most. 🐾

Purr-fection, but make it medical. 🐾🐱

Odo has been working with our Internal Medicine team for diabetes management and recently came in feeling off.

With help from our ER, Anesthesia, Cardiology, and IM teams, he received thoughtful, around-the-clock care. He was a favorite in the ER, even winning the Top Cat Award. 🥇

When biopsies were needed, his team created a customized anesthesia plan designed just for him — because diabetes + anesthesia = extra planning (and extra love).

Odo did amazing. 12/10 patient. Best orange ever. 🧡✨

Bro visited us at VECC just before the new year after being diagnosed with ITP — a condition where the body mistakenly attacks its own platelets.

He later continued care with our Internal Medicine team (Las Vegas Veterinary Specialty Center), but not before leaving his mark on the ICU. Between polite paw shakes, top-tier awhoos, and overall excellent “good boy” energy, he quickly became a staff favorite.

Today, his family came back for an IM recheck — and showed up with snacks for both teams.
Seeing Bro doing well (and feeling the love in snack form) made everyone’s day. 🐾💙

Proof that tails tell the whole story 💕

Millie and Cerea came in needing some extra support and round-the-clock care, and their response? Constant wagging and peak Samoyed optimism.

With attentive nursing, IV fluids, and advanced supportive therapies, these two clouds stayed comfortable and well cared for every step of the way — and made sure everyone noticed their freshly colored tails while they were at it.

We’re so glad to see them on the upswing and heading home with their fluff fully restored ☁️🐾

🪨 Rock: 0.
Wally the Corgi: 1.

While visiting his grandma here from the Midwest, Wally decided to sample a local delicacy… a rock 😅(0/10, do not recommend.)

The good news? Wally came in though our ER at 3 AM. The stabilized him and worked with the IM and anesthesia teams to retrieve the rock in just 4 minutes! Wally bounced right back to his cheerful, corgi-self. No surgery, no long recovery — just expert care and a very relieved grandma.

✨ Did you know?
Many swallowed objects can be removed quickly and safely with minimally invasive tools when caught early — which means less risk, less downtime, and faster cuddles back at home.

Ending on the best part: one very happy Wally, rock-free and smiling for the camera 💙🐶
