This cat badly needs a home!! Please help us save her!!

Posted on July 2, 2011 by pismobeachvet

Meet Snickers. She is a 3yr old, spayed female orange tabby that needs a patient, loving home. She was brought to me for euthanasia due to a skin problem. She was otherwise healthy, so I wanted to see if I could find a match for her before giving up hope. She is an independent cat that likes to be cuddled only on her own terms. She has had a bit of an rough upbringing and needs a stable, quiet home. A home without kids would be best. She has lived with a dog and tolerated him enough, but probably would prefer to be an only pet.

If you are willing to help out an adorable but misunderstood cat, then please contact me. We are still working on getting to the bottom of her skin issue (she chews out the fur on her butt) and would need you to be willing to pursue follow up care for this problem. But if she cannot find a nurturer, she will be deemed unadoptable by the shelter and will most likely be put down.

If you might be interested in rescuing Snickers, please contact me ASAP to meet her or get more information!

Thanks, Sarah Conn

Pismo Beach Open House 2011

Posted on June 27, 2011 by pismobeachvet

The 2011 Pismo Beach Vet Open House was a huge success! Julie’s band, Too Old To Be Famous, rocked the house; the HAKA wine was amazing; and we had some great raffle prizes. Feline Network adopted out two kittens (to Joel and Max’s mom) and we had tons of fun! All told, we estimate that about 200-250 folks came out over the course of the event.

Thanks to all of our sponsors: ELANCO Animal Health, Butler Schein Animal Health, Pfizer, and Pismo Bob’s!

Now all we have to do is clean up…

A New Doctor Joins the Pismo Beach Vet Team

Posted on June 22, 2011 by pismobeachvet

We are extremely excited to announce that Dr. Sarah Conn (Joel’s wife) has finally joined us at Pismo Beach Veterinary Clinic!

With the team of Conn, Conn, Conn, and Hennessy (yeah, I know, kinda confusing!), we have even more appointments available to help get you and your pets seen quickly!

Sarah Conn will be starting on a Monday, Tuesday receiving schedule with plans to expand over the next several months.

Dr. Conn grew up in Minnesota, moving to California in 2000 for more sunshine and fewer mosquitoes. She received her Bachelor’s of Science degree in Conservation Biology from the University of Minnesota and graduated from UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006. Upon completion of a rotating internship in emergency care, surgery, and general medicine, Dr. Conn practiced in Sonoma County before moving to the beautiful Central Coast in 2009.

Although she enjoys the diversity of general practice, she holds a special interest in emergency medicine and diagnostic imaging.

Fulfilling her mission to enjoy the California life, Dr. Conn resides in Pismo Beach with her husband Joel, their two Italian greyhound-type dogs, and their cat.

Outside of work she enjoys playing Ultimate Frisbee, traveling, eating good food, and spending as much time as possible enjoying the outdoors.
