Care Beyond Compare
December 31, 2025
Across our practices, creativity and compassion shine in the most unexpected ways. From festive team-building and laugh-out-loud photo shoots to memorable first visits and community fundraisers, these moments show that veterinary care is about more than medicine, it’s about connection, joy, and making a difference for pets, people, and the communities we serve.
Strathroy Animal Clinic - Strathroy, ON, Canada
The holiday spirit was alive and well at Strathroy Animal Clinic, where the team turned appreciation into an unforgettable adventure. Their technicians didn’t just think outside the box, they threw the box away and created some unforgettable images for the custom calendar the team created. It’s packed with hilarious photos featuring the entire staff. From classic poses to laugh-out-loud creativity, this gift for their hospital manager brought everyone together for fun and camaraderie. It’s proof that when a veterinary team mixes gratitude with imagination, the results are nothing short of paws-itively amazing.
Pleasant Valley Animal Hospital - Quakertown, Pennsylvania
It was a double dose of cuteness for First Visit Friday at Pleasant Valley Animal Hospital! Two adorable newcomers, Bandit, a playful 10-week-old kitten, and Ginger, an irresistible puppy, came in to see Dr. Kline for their very first checkups. While both stole hearts, today we’re shining the spotlight on Ginger. Weighing in at 6.2 pounds, this sweet pup already knows how to work the camera. One look at her expression and it’s clear, she’s fully aware of just how adorable she is! First visits are always special, and Ginger’s confident little pose reminds us why we love welcoming new furry faces to the family.
At Home Veterinary Care - West Gardiner, Maine
This year’s Christmas fundraiser at At Home Veterinary Care was a shining example of community, compassion, and teamwork. Thanks to the incredible support from clients, staff, and friends of AHVC, the annual effort for Wilderness Miracles Wildlife Rehab was a resounding success. Every donation helps provide hope and healing for wild animals in need, ensuring they receive the care and rehabilitation necessary to return to their natural habitats. Wilderness Miracles continues to do extraordinary work, and those who contributed played a vital role in that mission.
Boulevard Animal Hospital – Colleyville, Texas
Holiday cheer was in full swing at Boulevard Animal Hospital, where festive fun took center stage. Dr. Gray delighted everyone by showing off her playful Grinch outfit alongside Josephine, sparking smiles and laughter throughout the clinic. Patients and team members joined in the cheer, with beloved pets Seti and Tyr, sending their warmest Christmas wishes and giving Dr. Gray’s outfit a 100% approval rating, proving she’s anything but Grinchy! This season is all about joy, creativity, and celebrating the bonds we share with both two- and four-legged friends.
Bay View Veterinary Clinic - Mukwonago, Wisconsin
The team at Bay View Veterinary Clinic recently turned their office into an extraordinary display of creativity and camaraderie. In the spirit of festive fun, staff members split into groups and transformed four exam room doors into works of art, each showcasing its own unique holiday flair. From clever themes to eye-catching designs, the competition sparked laughter, teamwork, and plenty of friendly rivalry. While the judges have yet to decide which team will claim victory, one thing is certain, the real win was the happiness and collaboration shared by everyone involved.
