We Love Best Friends Animal Hospital!

Yesterday we took Penelope to the vet for a few routine vaccinations.  She is easily upset and taking a ride in the car is one of her least favorite things to do. Best Friends Animal Hospital is a short five minute drive from our house and the main reason we chose them as Penny's health care providers. That might seem like a terrible way of deciding on a veterinarian but you haven't had to ride in the car with Penny, have you? The truth is, we couldn't have asked for a better animal hospital, it just happens to be good luck that they are so close to our house. 

The facility is newer and very clean. The ladies at the front desk are talkative and friendly and every time we have been there we are taken to an exam room upon arrival, no waiting in the lobby.

The first order of business was to weigh Penny. An assistant helped Mark keep Penny on the scale. The last time they had weighed her (a year ago) she was 14 pounds. Now she is 42.9 pounds!

Next it was time to take her temperature, which was normal. A second vet. tech. came in to do this job.

Just one more thing before the doctor arrives. A manicure! 

Getting her nails clipped.

After the girls had made Penny look pretty, Dr. Germeroth came in to administer the vaccinations. C. Jack Germeroth, DVM is such a kind person. Penny is very comfortable with him and so are we. He gave Penny a good once over, checking her ears, eyes, teeth, and listening to her heartbeat.

Then it was time for her shots. Two by needle and one sprayed in the nose to protect against respiratory infection. I don't think Penny even knew what happened, she was enjoying the attention.

You might feel a pinch!

In addition to health care, Best Friends Animal Hospital also provides boarding and grooming, I highly recommend them to anyone with a companion animal in or near Oz. After all, when it comes to your best friend you want a veterinarian you can trust!
