Carpet gives the room a warm feel

When I was first talking to people about my vision for the practice whenever I mentioned that I was using carpet as my flooring, I got a lot of "you'll be sorries", rolled eyes and just plain crazy looks. I had never seen a clinic with carpet before but then again, I wasn't going for anything that I had seen before. I wanted a comfortable space for pets and people and carpet adds an extra layer of comfort. Dogs are so much more stable on carpet and it really gives a warmer feeling to the rooms. The carpet I picked is a beautiful leaf pattern in brown called "All About Me" by Mannington carpets. They are carpet tiles and are really durable. You can even bleach them! Josh over at Floor Solutions helped us pick out the right carpet, got me samples in all of the colors I wanted to check out and finally helped with my order. He's been great!

Sam feeling much better

Once we put the carpet tiles in the rooms looked amazing. These tiles go on with an adhesive that holds the tiles in place but allows you to remove individual tiles for cleaning - a feauture I figured would come in handy and well, it did! This past week we saw a sick puppy named Sam. Sam had been having diarrhea and not feeling well. Turns out his diagnosis was Giardia which can cause some pretty yucky diarrhea. Sam had some diarrhea on the way in out at the curb and we were making arrangements to go collect the sample when all of a sudden poor Sam just had to go! He picked a centrally located carpet tile and deficated. It was soft and stinky and there was even blood in it. Well, we got our fresh sample and I proceeded to pull up the carpet tile, replace it with a clean one and rinse off the dirty one. It worked like a charm and Sam was nice enough to keep it isolated to one square.

Me cleaning the carpet tile - it's so easy!

Thank you Sam for testing out our carpet and we are so happy to hear that you are feeling better!
