Please note the VIN office will be closed Thursday, November 25 & Friday, November 26 so VIN staff can spend the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday with their families.

Responses to calls and email may take a bit longer than usual during this time. Thanks in advance for your patience.
 
If you have a truly urgent issue, Paul's phone is always on: (530) 757-6881.
 
What are you thankful for?

As 2021 draws to a close, VINners are sharing some of the many things they're thankful for on the Message Boards...VIN colleagues past & present, time spent with family & friends, good health, and good books to name a few.

Join the conversation to share your thoughts.

How do you sterilize/clean dental instruments between patients?


How do you keep your dental instruments shiny & bright? Visit the Front Page and take this week's Quick Poll to share your dental instrument cleaning and sterilization protocols.

Has COVID vaccine hesitancy increased client concerns about vaccinating their pets? Not according to VINners. Last week's repeat Quick Poll showed remarkably similar trends to the original poll run pre-COVID in November 2019. When asked what percentage of clients refuse scheduled vaccines for their pets based on "information" they've picked up from non-scientific sources, in both polls, roughly half of VINners put that number at less than 5%. Another quarter of respondents in each poll guesstimated a bit higher saying 5-10% of their clients show some vaccine hesitancy.
