October is Black Cat Awareness Month! Meet Dr. Eden’s black cat named Biale. So cute! 😻 This month is meant to promote the adoption of black cats since, unfortunately, they don’t get adopted as much as other colored cats. The reason behind this interesting fact is because some people are superstitious of black cats and think they bring them bad luck.
Dr. Edens would definitely rule that out!! 😺 Go and adopt a black cat!!

Today we start the first day of Vet Tech Appreciation Week. Here at Lookout Mountain Veterinary Clinic, we use this week to show EXTRA appreciation to our entire staff at the clinic. The staff at LMVC works as a team. Everyone is always “all hands on deck” and there are times when our technicians are helping the receptionists, the receptionists are helping the technicians and the groomers are assisting both. We are in awe of the teamwork that is displayed everyday, especially when dealing with the stress and changes the pandemic brought this year. We are a family and are extremely grateful for the professionalism, friendships, and heart that each of our employees display every day at the clinic. If you happen to bring your fur baby in this week, please take an extra few seconds to thank the staff members that assist you. If you aren’t able to get around to the clinic this week, keep in mind the awesomeness that is our staff at LMVC and next time you come in, give that extra thanks!
