Notes from Dr. Wicker

"My pets seem fine, why should I take them to the Doctor?"

          If we don't provide regular maintenance on our cars, it may lead to expensive repairs down the road, or we may end up being stranded unexpectedly.  The same thing is true for our pets (and us too, but that's a topic for another time.)  By providing regular preventive healthcare for your pets, you can help keep them healthy and happy, and help avoid expensive medical bills later on.

Pets and People - Healthy Together

National Pet Week is May 2-8, 2010.  National Pet Week was founded in 1981 by the American Veterinary Medical Association and the A.V.M.A. Auxiliary.  The purpose of Pet Week is to foster responsible pet ownership, recognize the importance of the human-animal bond, and increase public awareness of veterinary medicine.

Continuing Education

I just wanted to let everyone know that we will be closed on Friday April 9th and Saturday April 10th.  We will be attending the Florida Veterinary Medical Association annual continuing education meeting.

Smile! 

Hello everyone! Hope you enjoyed the cooler days we had this week.  I just posted new photos on the photos pages of our website.

It's a Girl!

Congratulations to Amanda and Henry on the recent birth of their daughter.  McKayla was born July 23rd in Plant City.

Thanks for your interest! 

     Our current opening has been filled.  We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the individuals who took time to apply for employment. 

Be Part of Our Team!

We are currently looking for 1-2 additional team members.  If you are someone who loves animals and people, we may have a position for you.  We have an opening for a veterinary assistant.  While experience is a plus, it isn't a requirement. 

Greetings and Resolutions

As we enter 2009 I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank you for your continued support.  We look forward to a new year of new clients and pets as well as old friends.  It is is a pleasure to help you care for your furry family members and none of it would be possible without your support and involvement.

We're back! 

Just a quick note to report on the F.V.M.A. conference.  It was a very informative meeting.  We spent 3 days with experts from around the country learning about new treatments for many common problems we see every day.

Building a Dynamic Veterinary Team

     We are heading to Orlando.  The Florida Veterinary Medical Association is holding its Annual Conference in Orlando on Oct. 3rd, 4th and 5th.  The conference features continuing education for veterinarians and staff with over 65 speakers and 180 lectures.
