🐾🦉 Not Just Cats and Dogs… Sometimes! 🐾🐇 While Southpaws is dedicated to providing expert care for our feline and canine patients, every so often, some more unusual visitors come through our doors! This year, we had the pleasure of meeting rabbits, chickens, ferrets, rats, guinea pigs, and even a Tawny Frogmouth Owl! Although we’re a small animal hospital primarily focused on pets, we believe in the wellbeing of all animals. When unique creatures need a helping hand, we’re happy to do what we can to ensure they receive the care they deserve. Throughout the holiday season and beyond, we remain committed to supporting you with the care and compassion your family deserves. Thank you for trusting us with your furry, feathered, and fabulous companions this year! 🎄✨ #southpaws #petcare #pethealth #AnimalCare #SmallAnimalHospital #CompassionateCare #VeterinaryLife #PetLovers #UniquePets #AnimalHealth#Southpaws12DaysOfChristmas #HereForYouAlways #Southpaws12DaysOfChristmas #UnexpectedVisitors

🎄🐾 The Cats That Made 2024 Unforgettable 🐾🎄 This year, cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities have left their pawprints on our hearts. While these five breeds—Domestic, Ragdoll, Tabby, Burmese, and British Shorthair—were among the most frequent visitors, it’s the individuality of every cat that truly stands out. From the mischievous ones who love to explore every corner of the room to the calm souls who demand their cuddle time, each feline has brought something special to our hospitals. We’re endlessly inspired by their quirks, resilience, and charm, and we’re so grateful to their families for letting us be part of their care. Here's to all the cats who made 2024 a year to remember! 🐱❤️ #southpaws #petcare #pethealth #CatsOf2024 #CatLovers #CatBreeds #FelineFriends #CatLife #AnimalCare #CatsAreFamily#Southpaws12DaysOfChristmas

🐾🎄 Our Top Dog Breeds of 2024 🎄🐾 This year, these five breeds—Cavoodles, French Bulldogs, Labradors, Dachshunds, and Golden Retrievers—were among the most common visitors to our hospitals. But at Southpaws, every dog is special, regardless of breed, size, or background. Whether you’re a mutt, a pug, or a TBC, you are loved and cared for just the same. Every dog that comes through our doors is their own unique being, and we are honoured to be a part of their journey. Here’s to celebrating the individuality of every furry friend and the unconditional love they bring to our lives. 🐶❤️ #southpaws #pethealth #petcare #DogLovers #DogBreeds #FurryFriends #DogCare #PetWellness #DogLife #AnimalLovers

✨🎄 Southpaws' Year in Numbers🎄✨ This year, we’ve had the privilege of caring for more than 4,500 pets who walked, hopped, or were carried through our doors. Each patient has left a meaningful mark on our team, and behind every pet is a family with a story—over 4,000 families who have trusted us during some of their most challenging moments. Behind these patients are over 4,000 families who have trusted us with their beloved companions. We’ve had the honour of hearing their stories—stories of resilience, joy, and bonds between pets and their humans. We also take a moment to remember the pets who are no longer with us. They remain an important part of our story and will always hold a special place in our hearts.❤️🩹💙🧡 Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. Together, we’re making a difference, one paw at a time. 🐾❤️ #southpaws #pethealth #petcare #PetWellness #PetLovers #RescuePets #PetStories #FurryFriends #AnimalCare #VeterinaryLife #PetCommunity #PetFamily#Southpaws12DaysOfChristmas
