Does your pet need to be spayed or neutered?

It’s almost time for the 8th Annual Ford Petersen Spay Day in honor of Ford Petersen, a long-time employee and friend. Up to 50 pets will be selected via lottery to receive a FREE comprehensive spay or neuter procedure. Check out a video of last year’s spay day: 7th Annual Ford Petersen Spay Day.

There is no coincidence in the shared last name. Tim is Dr. Wheaton’s younger brother and has been around APCC and the staff since its inception. Life has come full-circle in that way, as Tim and his brother used to spend nearly every day during summers in their youth at their Dad’s veterinary practice in Corona Del Mar. Dr. Wheaton was always the son destined to follow in their father’s footsteps, while Tim was always the more creative-minded one of the two.

Tim and his wife have two kids of their own and two furry children (Rusty & Audrey), sibling cats adopted from The Pet Rescue Center in 2011.

Tim will be keeping you up to date with APCC happenings via social media – Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram – with pictures, pet health tips, travel tips and ways to keep your babies happy and healthy.
