Welcome to the Vets Pets Weekly Update!
We’re excited to bring you the latest news, updates, and stories from across our North Carolina veterinary practices. Each week, we’ll share important announcements, highlight achievements, and sprinkle some fun along the way.
Your work makes a difference every day, and we want to celebrate you. If you have news or stories to share, please let us know by responding to any of these emails or reaching out to marketing@thevetspets.com.
Thank you to all who have participated in the flu shot and COVID booster clinics!
During the months of September and October, we will continue offering flu shots and/or COVID-19 boosters to employees at at Vets Pets practices. If you have not been able to attend a clinic but would still like to get vaccinated, you’re welcome to join any of the upcoming scheduled clinics. See the schedule below.
If you have insurance, we will file it with your insurance company with no out-of-pocket cost. If you do not have insurance vets pets will cover the costs. Ask your manager for more details, including dates and sign-up information.
The weather outside has been inconsistent, but our Purr-fect Pace Challenge is still on track through the end of September. Our teams have been steady through the wet weather, dawning ponchos and umbrellas to keep it moving! Send us your wet weather walk, run, and cycle pictures!

“Great atmosphere. Caring vet tech and visiting vet. Good communication about issues, they listened! My cat would, I think, have gladly stayed longer, he purred the whole time. Follow up call today meant a lot. We’ll be back with our dog.“
