Savannah, GA: IVECCS 2026
We had a great time in Savannah last week catching up with familiar faces, connecting, and building our emergency horsepower.
We appreciated everyone who took the time to stop by and spend time with the Vets Pets team.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the event such a good one. We are already looking forward to next year!
Hillsborough, NC: Hog Day 2026
The Healing Paws Veterinary Hospital team joined the fun at Hillsborough’s annual Hog Day, spending the day connecting with neighbors, meeting plenty of local pet lovers, and being part of a longtime Orange County tradition.
It is fun seeing our hospital teams getting out into the communities they serve.

This week’s review acknowledges the team at Oak Heart Veterinary Hospital at North Hills. Well done!
“Our Senior GS is not an easy patient. We always asked for Dr. Clements and RVT Sydney at the Longview location so when they moved to the newest Oak Heart Hospital at North Hills we had to follow even though the drive is farther away.
Taking Ava to the vet has always been stressful – especially for nail trims until we met Sydney! The care she takes with our old girl is phenomenal and we are so grateful.
The new location at North Hills is well designed for owners and their pets, the reception staff is friendly, Yajaira made us feel at ease and Ava was treated like the Queen she is. Dr. Clements clearly cares for his patients and is attentive to all our concerns. Sydney went above and beyond for Ava. We cannot recommend Oak Heart Veterinary Hospital at North Hills enough!“
