Happy 11th Birthday Izzy!! 🥳😻🐱🐾🐾❤️


Izzy says for her birthday, she would appreciate large towel donations to the clinic as we are low. She likes them when they are warm to lay on every evening 💗

Izzy got her teeth cleaned on Monday! She did very well and is extra needy now and LOVES her lovins! She wants to remind everyone that yearly teeth cleanings for your pets can help their dental hygiene and keep a close eye on teeth that may need to be removed!

Schedule update for Friday 8/9 & Monday 8/12- No Dr. Johnson! We will have an amazing relief vet on both days but please keep in mind that we will have long wait times and earlier cut offs.
If you are planning on arriving on Friday or Monday this/next week, please bring patience with you as you wait.

Marion County Residents ONLY! Posting this flyer so more people know about it for their dogs. This is NOT going on at the clinic. Read the flyer and follow the instructions on the flyer if interested 😊

🚨ATTENTION🚨
We are no longer accepting online or text payments! The company we have used for this has discontinued this service. We are looking into other option and will inform you if we can get another option going. For now, payments are ONLY accepted in person!
We are sorry for this inconvenience.

This week (7/22-7/26), we celebrate 4 amazing staff members in honor of our Kennel Assistant week. These ladies go above and beyond every day to ensure not only our staff get help but your pets as well. We would not be able to do what we do without them!💗 Thank you from all of us! We are so beyond grateful to have each of you!

We are closed Thursday, July 4th and Friday, July 5th. Please be sure to plan accordingly. As a friendly reminder, be sure you are keeping your pets inside as many of them are scared of the fireworks! Our shelters are already overloaded and with the 4th of July comin, they are expecting more as many dogs get loose running from the fireworks. To help anyone who finds your pet if they get loose, be sure to have a collar on them with a tag that has their name and your phone number! Also tell your friends and family, even though they love your pets as much as you, don't share the food that you have at your BBQ with your pets. Lots of pets get sick from having the people food and too many fatty foods during the backyard BBQs. Have fun and be safe this 4th of July holiday!!
Reminder: we will be open on Saturday, July 6th with Dr. Johnson!

Reminder for today, 7/2/24, we are CLOSING at 12pm and we do NOT have a doctor in today. We are essentially operating as if it was a "Thursday" with hours and what we are able to do today.

Friendly reminder to be kind and have patience with us as you wait. We have 1 relief doctor today and 1 relief vet on Monday and Wednesday next week. Tuesday we DO NOT HAVE A DOCTOR and we will be closing by 12pm. Please plan accordingly and be kind to our staff as we are all busy and trying to get your pets seen as quickly as we can.
**Editing to add: as of 1:15pm today, we have already cut off for the day. We have had a HUGE amount of medical cases and just can not see everyone. We are sorry if this caused any inconvenience but we are doing the best we can. Please note: Monday will be BUSY as well so expect long wait times. We are only accepting in a certain amount of patients on Monday since today was so rough so please be prepared for that as well.

☀️Reminder for *HOT WEATHER* as it is upon us! Be sure to keep an eye on all of your pets and ensure they have plenty of shade, access to fresh and clean water and you are watching for signs of heat exposure.
-IF your pet is experiencing signs of heat stroke, please take them to the closest EMERGENCY veterinarian near you! (Please note: our clinic is not an emergency vet)

Please be sure you are keeping your pets indoors in this heat! All brachycephalic (smoosh nosed pets) should NOT be outdoors for any length of time other than a quick potty break. Watch for signs of heat stroke!
For anyone visiting us with their pets, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AC IN YOUR CAR!
