Just in time for the holidays, Pismo Beach Vet will be ordering custom reusable bags from ChicoBag.  With plastic and paper grocery bags becoming more and more of a hotly discussed environmental issue, we want to do our part by offering our clients reusable bags.

If you are like me, the biggest thing I hate about reusable bags is keeping them handy!  The nice thing about these little guys is that they fit in your car door pocket (or purse) and easily clip together.  Check them out online:  http://www.chicobag.com/

Plastic bags are a growing hazard to our global ecosystem, making up a large percentage of the bulk of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.  This 270,000 square mile convergence of floating garbage in the middle of the pacific ocean is just one great reason to start thinking green.

Some of you may have noticed the large brown box in our lobby.  We are one of the businesses working with the San Luis Obispo Rotaract Club in their Coats for Kids campaign.

They will be picking up the box on Friday morning, so this is your last chance to donate.  They are accepting all coats:   kids, adults, male or female.  The organization will be dry cleaning all the items so any condition is fine. For more information, go to:  http://slorotaract.wordpress.com/coats-for-kids/

Thanks for helping us out with this really great cause!

Well, we are officially starting phase two of our remodel!  After months of planning and anxiously awaiting our permit from the City of Pismo Beach, we have started construction.

This phase will involve a total makeover of our reception area/lobby, client restroom, and exam rooms.   The project is anticipated to take around three months and we hope that you will excuse our mess during construction.  We plan on staying open the entire time but may have to somewhat limit our appointment schedule based on exam room availability – we truly appreciate your understanding.  Our goal is to be able to offer you even more services and appointment slots once we have more exam room space.

Special thanks to RRM Design and Tony Van Coops Construction for all of their hard work and late nights to come!

We have launched another commercial for Halloween 2011! The spot will be playing on KSBY daily.

The commerical was shot locally in Pismo Beach and San Luis Obispo, and includes a cast of staff and client pets!  Thanks to Sun Media and Graphics for their great work!

Meet “Skip,” our Pismo Beach Veterinary Clinic Pet of the Week. Skip is a Chinese Crested puppy. This is a fairly rare breed. In fact, I don’t remember the last time we got to see a puppy so we thought you’d want to meet him too!

Here are a couple pictures of when Skip stopped by the other day just to say “hi.” We love it when our patients do this – it’s fun to see them when we don’t have to give them shots and it helps them feel more comfortable at the clinic.
