Here it is: Update

Click on Photo for Larger ViewShe has 4 beauties coming around April 20/21. I sent this to my old vet and she will comment on timing but this place thought 6 days perhaps. Stay tumed to the 2nd input.

The vet came out to meet us - masked of course to introduce herself. Told us as long as the dogs were coming here for xrays and the rest that we had access to emergency services. It took us 50 minutes to get there. Not bad. We really liked her. More costly but worth the peace of mind and the safety of the pups and mom.

A friend said to me now that you have this in place, you will not have issues. It's Murphy's law. I agree as its rare we do have issues but I feel that what we had was not working for us or our dogs but our old vet will still check the pups - non emergency things so photos for this crew.

It feels good to have a solution.

Soo exciting! Glad the new vet made a personal connection and brings that peace of mind :)

Me too! Even for extra $$ she is a partner with a slew of experience so we feel comfie. Wish the cost was not as much but really what's cost when it comes to peace of mind.

As these pups most likely will be here when Spirit goes for hers, Nathan ill be going himself. I am ever so glad I met her. She went the extra mile.

Happy to see that you have a reliable arrangement and confidence in your new breeder vet.What a relief for you! Hope all goes smoothly!

Yes - worth everything! We have been doing this local for this, breeder vet for pups, emergency clinic for an emerg since our breeder vet sold their business a few years back. Thought and they hinted that they would start again but it took Raven's emerg to say enough. I wish it hadn't taken us so long to move on but loyal we are. Heck Nathan has the same GP for 30 years and he is - well not that good. LOL Our breeder vet is really good and so is this new one. Could have, should have but now it is in place. It feels good for our gals, the pups and us. May have to change our prices in the future but truly going to try not to.

YAY for Sage's 4 puppy litter and for the vet making the extra step to come out and meet you. Sometimes it is such small gestures that make such a big impact on peace of mind, congrats on working this new protocol out for you and Nathan and your dogs and pups.

I checked out the vet practice from their website, very impressed. I like their approach to health care, dedication from both sides. Very happy you found them or got referred to them. I'm thinking reproductive vet care practices are so high stress, what with all these pandemic puppies around, bothers me soooo much. At least 12+ in my area alone, regular vets must be at the wits end. And irresponsible owners😠, 1 girl has just been bit in the face.
And my niece is getting a sproodle at the end of end of the month, don't ask me🤯

Put a designer name on mixed breeds and 4 grand later you too can have one. heh

I knew about this vet clinic as I went there with a puppy out of Judy's litter one year. When our vet sold her practice so many breeders went there. We looked for other solutions and was then told they were not accepting clients. So after the Raven thing I pushed Nathan into trying yet again and they said yes, we are taking new clients. Our vet that we have used for years referred us elsewhere after I told her I was going to Graham. She said if I didn't like them that this other place was an alternative. Good to know.
