Shout out to our August Pet of the Month- Bentley! 🎉🐾

Mom shared that Bentley is 4 years old (birthday Sept 17, 2021) born in Oklahoma City! Bentley is a very sweet, social and quirky guy that is full of personality and loves to be the center of attention. He enjoys playing with his little brother, Kai, laying out in the sun and is obsessed with carrots (he paws the fridge to make sure nobody forgets!). He also enjoys walks, but loves the post-walk nap even more!

Today is Dr. Shifrin's last day before he begins his retirement! 🎉
It has been an absolute pleasure working alongside him over the years. His kindness, dedication, and compassion have made a lasting impact on our team and the many clients and patients he has cared for. He will be deeply missed by all of us.
While change is never easy, we couldn't be happier for him as he begins this exciting new chapter. We wish Dr. Shifrin a retirement that is filled with happiness, relaxation, and countless new adventures.

Join us in giving him a big round of "a-paws" as we cheer him on to all the wonderful adventures that await! Congratulations, Dr. Shifrin!
