Big Cheers for Halena Stephens on Her Exciting Promotion !

We are overjoyed to share the fantastic news: Halena Stephens has been promoted to Technician Assistant!
Halena’s hard work and dedication have paid off as she recently completed her coursework for her Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) credential. Now, she’s gearing up for the State Board Examination—a monumental step in her career journey!
While her internship at Oradell Animal Hospital provided invaluable exposure to veterinary specialties, we’re excited to support her with the practical training she needs to thrive as a CVT. In her new role, Halena will focus on honing her hands-on skills.
Halena’s commitment and determination are truly inspiring. Balancing full-time studies with her work responsibilities, she has shown incredible perseverance. Her creativity and passion for veterinary care shine through in ideas like repurposing vaccine bottles into keepsakes for pet hair—an innovation that speaks to her love for pets and their families.
Please join us in celebrating Halena’s well-earned promotion and wishing her every success as she moves closer to achieving her CVT dreams.
Way to go, Halena—we’re so proud of you!

Twas the Season to Share Joy - And You Delivered !

Wow, you all outdid yourselves! We received over 175 absolutely adorable pet photos, and let us tell you, our hearts have melted into puddles of pure joy.
Now, here’s the thing—we are completely biased and absolutely unable to pick a single “best” photo. It’s like trying to choose your favorite child. Impossible! Every single photo is amazing, because we adore every single one of our furry, feathery, and scaly patients.
To celebrate all this cuteness, we’ve decked our halls with hand-crafted photo ornaments featuring many of your pets’ pictures. If you spot your pet’s ornament, please feel free to take it home—it’s our little way of spreading the love and memories.
As for the prizes…drumroll, please! Since we couldn’t pick favorites, we decided to raffle the winners and even added 20 extra prizes to sprinkle a little extra holiday cheer. Because honestly, who doesn’t love an unexpected dose of joy?
Thank you all for sharing your incredible photos and making this season so magical. You’ve filled our hearts—and our hospital—with smiles and love!
