February is a time to celebrate love, indulge in chocolate (exclusive to humans only), and honor a wise and wonderful Golden Retriever named Jessie. We have been Jessie’s family veterinarian since she was a tiny, fluffy puppy. Today, at age 12, we continue to care for her through the senior years. Jessie is a cancer survivor and takes veterinary-approved supplements including shitake mushrooms and antioxidants. She also has acupuncture treatments for her recent cruciate ligament injury and to improve overall health and balance. Jessie continues to improve and we wish her the very best!

Over the last 15 years, our hospital cat, Casper, has been a common fixture around Dogwood Pet Hospital. He often spends his Golden Years comfortably nestled on the receptionist’s desk eagerly accepting and giving affection to all that stop to visit. As a pet ambassador, Casper has spent many years visiting and nurturing patients during recovery. At 20, we are enthused to report that Casper is still healthy and happy!

Celebrate Casper’s monumental 20th year at Dogwood Pet Hospital on Tuesday, January 26th, 5-7 p.m. Enjoy the company of your veterinary team and other pet owners, learn about senior wellness care, enjoy birthday cake, delicious food (provided by Agave Azul), beverages, and prizes!
