Due to recent power outages we are still experiencing technical difficulties with our veterinary software. We are unable to see any appointments, fill medications, send records or perform any of our other duties. We are working hard to get our system up and running. We are tentatively scheduled to open Tuesday, June 16th at 1 pm. This is subject to change. We promise to return all of your phone calls and answer all of your text messages as soon as possible. Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Before the walk:
⚡🐕💨 Parkour off the furniture.
Zoomies at maximum speed.
Acting like they’ve been trapped inside for 84 years.

After the walk:
😴🛋️ Suddenly unable to keep their eyes open.
Collapsed dramatically in the middle of the floor.
Snoring 12 minutes later.

Daily walks don’t just help burn energy — they also provide mental stimulation, enrichment, and stress relief for dogs. 🧠🐾

A well-exercised dog is usually a much happier (and sleepier) dog. 😂

Is our power back on - yes…

Did the power outage knock out our server to our veterinary software - also yes 😔

We will now be starting an 8 hour reinstall of our server. Unfortunately, because we do not have any computers we will be closing down again today.

We WILL return phone calls, texts, and get appointments rescheduled once we have the opportunity.

Thank you again for your understanding and patience.

Our power is finally restored! We will be open tomorrow at 8 am. Please allow us some time to go through 50+ voicemails and text messages that were received when we didn’t have power.

When you see dogs with cloudy eyes, it may be a natural part of the aging process. But cloudy eyes in dogs can also be a symptom of eye problems.

“Everything looked normal at home.”
We hear that all the time — and sometimes, that’s exactly why bloodwork matters. 🩺🩸

Physical exams tell us a LOT, but bloodwork helps us see what we can’t:
🔬 Early kidney disease
🔬 Liver changes
🔬 Infection & inflammation
🔬 Diabetes
🔬 Thyroid issues
🔬 Anemia & dehydration

Many pets hide illness incredibly well, especially in the early stages. Bloodwork gives us a look “behind the scenes” before symptoms become obvious.

That’s why routine lab work is one of the best tools we have for catching problems early and helping pets stay healthier, longer. 💙

Ask us if your pet is due for bloodwork. 🐾

🎆 It’s that time of year again! It’s not too early to call for your pets 4th of July meds. We will be closed July 3rd - July 5th. Give us a call today! 🎇
