A new vet and clinic is where we landed for our yearly physicals this month. We really liked the old clinic, but they were bought by a big company. All our favorite vets left and they still don’t allow humans inside with their pets. Mom said it was time for a new vet. We gave the Cleary Lake Veterinary Hospital a chance. A friend of ours from dog sports recommended this clinic. It’s hard to switch everything after many years but it is time and we had a great experience.
Our appointments were at the end of the day, thus no cars left in the parking lot. Only us dogs went this year because Mom couldn’t carry the cats, lucky cats! Olivia got the first exam. Boy, the girl needs to be less shy with strangers! She isn’t easy to examine, but she did have a good checkup and came out healthy. Weight is good, teeth are good, nothing wrong with the family baby. She even started to warm up to the new vet.
I was up next and am a really good patient. Sometimes I shake because I’m nervous, but I let the doctor examine me and do everything she needs to do. My check up also came out great. I’m a solid brick, small yet about thirty pounds. My teeth are good, and everything looks good on me. Because my nighttime incontinence has been acting up, I got some new medication and it seems to be working great. No more having to wear panties to bed.
Bailie opted to be the last of us to have her exam. She too is in great shape, has a good weight, and healthy teeth. Bails is eight, and two of her back teeth are a little worn on the ends but nothing bad or that needs to be taken care of. It is common knowledge that so many dogs are overweight which is really sad. For us it is fun to get weighed and checked over because vets are so happy to see fit pets at a good weight.
Don’t forget to schedule your yearly exam when it is due. There is no replacement for good health. No one likes to go to the vet, except cat bro Bert, but it is so very important!

I’m glad that you all had good vet visits. Sounds like you found a nice new vet.
She seems pretty good so far.
So sorry you had to go through the hassle of finding a new vet, but glad you found a good one in the process! And glad you girls are all in good health!
Staying healthy is so important. We have to worry about Mom these days, so it’s good we don’t have to worry about ourselves.
Glad you were able to find a new vet that you like. Change can be really difficult. Stay healthy and always keep moving.
It is hard as we really loved the clinic we were at and the two vets we had but the changes are not something we liked.
Yay on all getting a 100 on your exam inside and out!
I say appaws to all being accepting of a new vet!!
Hugs cecilia
We have no choice, we have to have a vet. This one will work out fine for us.
So happy that all is well. I can’t imagine what that vet bill would be. In NY you would have to mortgage your house!
It’s not that much really. We only need shots every couple of years so that cuts down on the expense and we have insurance if something big happens.
Yay! Mom changed my vet this year too — not my baby brother’s but mine. She was so unhappy with their slow response to my needs–and being an older girl, I have needs! Now that she likes this new vet, she will probably switch my brother. Congrats on a good bill of health. And mom agrees, she is always so proud of our weight!! Have a good day and enjoy your good health! your friend Lilly
We love being a fit family, it is a good thing for sure. Glad you too have a new vet. It’s important to have a good one you can trust. Cheers to good health!
It’s good to get your checkups so you and mom know how you’re doing. I’m glad all is well and the cats are extra happy they didn’t have to go at all. They’ll have to go though. I know the mom well enough to know that.
Have a woof woof and purrfect Thankful Thursday. My best to your mom. ♥
Bert loves to go to the vet, Sophie hates it. They will probably go next month.
Yes, changing Vets is such a pain but I’m so happy you all checked out well and that you like your new Vet. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
It’s always a bummer when doctors move or quit and we have to find a new one but I think we are on the right track again.
It’s always a little scary to try out a new doctor, I’m so glad it went well for you girls! ♥
It was a simple and good checkup for all of us.
Very happy you liked your new doctor. Even happier you all checked out in excellent condition. Madison, we weigh the same! I am solid too! XOXO, Sparkle
Mom says I’m a concrete block covered in fur. I eat as much as Bailie who is 30% bigger than me. I think being short and hanging out with tall sisters I burn more calories. Glad you have a good weight too.
We are glad that you all are in great shape and had great reports from the clinic! We get good reports too…except for Kozmo, he can be cranky when he is at the vet. Cinnamon shakes at the vet too, even though she LOVES all the people that work there!
The vet is always a bit scary. They are nice but they do weird things we are not fond of sometimes. We all survived and it is important to go and get checked out regularly.
Changing vets is so hard!!! I’m glad you found a good one. I know most of the vets at our place, and we all like each other. I hope our clinic never gets bought out.

We are sad that our clinic changed so much so fast but at least we have a good new vet.
We love to hear great reports from your vet, girls! Our very long time vet retired at the start of this year and I got to meet the new doctor. I really liked him and so did mom. We hope the very same thing for you.
It’s important to have a good vet who you and your mom trust. Hopefully you will stay healthy too.
our Mom is obsessed with us going to the Vet, in fact, she has to call and schedule Roary’s appt soon! Glad all went well! Oh and I am about 32 lbs and I am not even a year old yet! Love, Levi
You are just two pounds more than me! I’m a small GBGV, my sisters both weigh in the mid forties. Keep staying healthy!
You are SO LUCKY your Mama got to come in to the Vet with you, all the Vets in our area are still making MAma sit in the car.
So glad to hear everyone is happy and healthy!!
xoxo,
Sunny and the Gang
It is definitely a lot better for everyone if mom is there plus she feels like we get a better exam because she is there to see what is happening and can ask questions right away.
We have a new vet too and are happy we switched
We miss our other two vets but one moved out of state when she left and the other is in a part of town we never go to.
Great news for all of you! We have a new, holistic vet, and everyone has been to her except me, Lucy. And I’m the one who loves to go to the vet!
Hope you get to go soon since you actually enjoy going to the vet. Are you sure you are feeling alright?
Hooray for good vet visits! Maybe the cats can go next month, if mom feels up to it. Especially if Bert likes the vet.
She will probably take them next month since they are both pretty old now, they need to go.
Layla woofs she is so happy all the appointments went well, one less worry for Mom. I have to go to the vet this month also and Mom is having problems getting an appointment oy vey
Mom scheduled ours over a month out to make sure we got in when we wanted to and with three of us together we need a big time slot.
A great reminder! Thanks.
