Shamus thinks laser therapy is pretty awesome!!! He had a cut on his pad and recieved laser therapy to help promote healing. Shamus is definitely a one of a kind patient and our staff always enjoys when he visits!!!
Popcorn assisted Joehanna, one of our skilled Client Service Representatives, as she prepared to check out Popcorn's owner. Making sure all the t's were crossed and the i's were dotted 😁. Joehanna must have done a good job because she got 2 paws up 🐾

Dr. Wiskin just had a litter exam!!!!
🐾 Here they are on "Puppy Parade"🐾
More pictures and videos to come of this fun crew!!!! Lots of smiles in the clinic this afternoon 😀 😊
Getting to know Dr Wiskin:
Medical tip from Dr. Wiskin as we start getting into the colder months.
While pets may enjoy the winter weather it is important to limit their time outside to prevent hypothermia. 🥶
Check the paws to ensure that there are no cracks or bleeding.🐾
Be sure to check and that their paws are clear of salt or dirt that could cause infection.
Dogs or cats with long fur can accumulate snow and icy build up. You can trim the hair around these areas to help with accumulation but take care not to trim it too much because your pet needs their coat to help keep them safe and warm.
You can also use booties and jackets to help keep your pets warm during the cold months while still enjoying your time outdoors.
Be safe and stay warm!!!!
😻 🐈 Today is National Cat Day 🐈 😻
😺 We hope they have the PURRfect day 😺

💕 From our families to yours 💕
Not one but TWO Chow puppies in two days! Such a rare occurrence to see this breed. 😱
Did you know they are one of two breeds who have blue-black tongues?🤯
Bo Bandit and Sumo are the same age but not from the same family. Possible litter mates?🤔
We sure had fun with these adorable floofs 💜
🎆🎇 We will be closed for the remainder of today and New Year's Day. Reopening Saturday 1/2/2021 at 8am.
Happy New Year from our Team at Wasilla Veterinary Clinic 🎆 🎇
🎆 Ambrose getting ready to ring in the New Year 🎆
This is River.
He came in for his first vet visit last week and loved everyone. 😍
Can anyone guess this unique breed?
It's not always work and no play here at the clinic. We strive to make visits interactive and as stress free as possible, more now than ever. Pet's typically cue us on what their likes are, whether its food or play and we try to incorporate that into their visits. This helps create a less stressful environment for your pet.
These 2 thought that playing tag with Technician Mercedes hand was the beez neez.
It's always a great day when we are visited by Ms. Mabel's crew of Sphynx sweetness ❤
Check out the captions on each picture for fun details on kitten exams ;)
Before and after! Obi-Wan at his first visit vs his 1 year check up! 😍
Watching your critters grow up brings joy to all of our staff members 💜
