Never share candy with your pet and keep the wrappers away from them as well. Candy can be especially toxic.

Here are some of the top candies that can cause problems:

• Chocolate
• Candy Corn
• Grapes or raisins
• Sugar free candy

If you think your pet has ingested any of these, call us.

Today kicks off National Vet Tech Appreciation Week!

We have some of THE BEST, and we’re incredibly grateful for all of their hard work, care, and compassion for our patients. 🐕🐶🐈🐈‍⬛

When you see them this week, give them a high five, pat on the back, or just a “thank you!”

It’s a rewarding job, but at times emotionally exhausting because of just how much they care about the patients they treat.

THANK YOU VET TECHS! 🐾 🩺
WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU. 💗💗💗

ALLERGY SEASON IS BACK! Or for some, it never left. Ragweed and other allergens flare up in the fall. Many pets with allergies will start licking their paws, scratching more than usual or developing ear infections. If your pet struggles with allergies, don’t wait until they are miserable. Talk with us about prevention and treatment.
