At AVVC, we are touched by the extraordinary animals we have the opportunity to treat everyday. It never ceases to amaze us how our remarkable pet friends face unbelievable health challenges and then beat the odds!
Enjoy reading some of our favorite "Lives Saved and Happy Endings" stories below!
The stories outline a variety of veterinary topics and how our resiliant patients beat the odds. Part of the reason they survive is because of the love and devotion from their caretakers, veterinarians and families who support them during and after treatment.
Many of the stories below were written by our clients or the doctors who have treated them. If you would like to share your pet's story please submit your story and picture to AVVCdesk@webvets.com
