Foxtails may be small, but they can lead to big problems fast. These barbed grass awns can become lodged in your pet's paws, ears, nose, eyes, or skin and continue to move deeper into the body.

After walks, hikes, or time in dry grassy areas, take a few moments to check your pet closely.

If symptoms come on suddenly or worsen quickly, it may be time for emergency care!

We're here if you need us!

Our Culture Ambassador team has been hard at work creating thoughtful and engaging initiatives that help our team feel valued, connected, and appreciated. From meaningful staff shout-outs that celebrate individual contributions to an interactive Employee Engagement board that invites participation and shared moments. These efforts have brought a positive and uplifting energy to our workplace.

They’ve also added small but impactful touches, like providing a variety of refrigerated and shelf-stable snacks, to brighten our team’s day and show ongoing appreciation. One of the most memorable activities was the “Grow Through What You Go Through” plant potting project, which gave team members a chance to slow down, connect with one another, and reflect on resilience and growth. These initiatives continue to foster a supportive, inclusive environment where everyone feels seen and valued.

Our veterinary social worker, Neil, LCSW, CGSS, CA-EOLD, and Certified QPR Instructor, delivered an informative and engaging presentation on vicarious and secondary trauma as part of Mental Health Awareness Week. The session provided valuable insights into how these forms of stress can impact professionals in caregiving roles, along with practical strategies for recognizing symptoms, building resilience, and supporting overall well-being in the workplace.

Following the presentation, team members took part in a hands-on, reflective activity by creating their own Zen gardens. This exercise encouraged mindfulness, creativity, and relaxation, offering a meaningful opportunity to decompress while reinforcing the importance of self-care in both personal and professional settings.

🐾 Be Ready for the Unexpected: Pet First Aid Kit Essentials 🐾

Emergencies can happen anytime, and having a well-stocked pet first aid kit can make a critical difference. Here’s what every pet parent should have on hand:

✅ Basic Supplies: Gauze, adhesive tape, bandages, cotton balls, and antiseptic wipes
✅ Medications: Your pet’s prescribed meds and any approved over-the-counter remedies (like antihistamines, if recommended by your vet)
✅ Tools: Digital thermometer, tweezers, scissors, and disposable gloves
✅ Emergency Items: Muzzle (even for calm pets, they may bite if scared), styptic powder for minor bleeding, and instant cold packs
✅ Important Info: Copy of your pet’s medical records, vaccination history, and your vet’s contact info
✅ Extras: Blankets or towels, small flashlight, and a list of nearby 24/7 veterinary hospitals

💡 Tip: Keep your kit in a cool, accessible spot and check it regularly to replace expired items.
