Pet of the Month: Quite

Quite is our April Pet of the Month. He lives here permanently at Pets First Veterinary Center. He is a fun cat to have around the clinic. Quite is also our permanent greeter and is always going on adventures outside and constantly keeping us entertained. Come say hi to him and I'm sure you will leave with a smile!

Pets & Cookouts

The weather is getting warmer and many people are firing up their grills for burgers, hotdogs, steaks and ribs. Dogs love the smell of meat, and some dogs will do anything to get some for themselves. Knowing this, it's important to use extra caution around the grill during cooking. Remember, your dog won't use caution about which part of the meat he eats if he grabs a piece, and swallowed bones could mean injury, or even death. It's just not worth it! Keep Fido inside during the grilling festivities.

Employee of the Month-MICHELLE

Michelle is our April Employee of the Month. She has been working here for about two months and is a blessing to have at our clinic. Michelle graduated from Michigan State University, majoring in Veterinary Technology with a minor in Zoology. She is enthusiastic and a joy to be around! We are very excited to have her as a part of our team!

Pets & Easter Chocolate

Chocolate is delicious to most of us, but for your pet, it's a different story. Chocolate can contain high amounts of fat and methylxanthines (a caffeine-like ingredient), which can cause flu-like symptoms in your pet if eaten. Some of these symptoms could include vomiting and diarrhea, panting, excessive thirst and urination, seizures and in severe cases it can be fatal. Avoid endangering the life of your pet...give them pet-safe treats instead!
