Smokey is a very lovable pup! Earlier this month he had to get some stitches and he just couldn't leave them alone. Poor Smokey went through three different cones around his head! The third time we tried a different approach: An inflatable ring. (Smokey still found a way to puncture it.) Today Smokey's incision is healing quite nicely and he looks great in his tied-up 80's T-Shirt and his inflatable ring. Smokey is a very brave guy. We like to think that he kept chewing up his cones so he could come back and see us!

Porky the lovable Bulldog! Porky is just a joy to be around, always happy to see us and full of life and personality. October is a big month for Porky---not only because he as been chosen as our pet of the month, but also because his birthday is on Halloween!

HOORAY!!! No more cone!

At Rose City Veterinary Hospital, we like to get to know each of our clients and pets personally! Although it's very difficult to choose, each month our staff and clients nominate pets they believe should hold the Pet of the Month title. Pets who have come in for an appointment or for boarding within the last month are eligible for nominations. Our staff members vote and the winners are displayed in our clinic, on our website and in our hospital's blog on the first of each month.

If you would like your pet to be nominated, please email us at pom@rosecityvet.com. Tell us why you believe your pet should be Pet of the Month and don't forget to include pictures!
