***WELCOME***
Starting September 8 we will have a new doctor in the house. Dr. Leah Renne will be joining our practice. Read more about her in the staff profile section.
***TIME FOR A CHANGE***
After 30 years of a brown exterior, we changed our outside color. Swing by and see how we look in sagebrush green with chocolate brown trim!
CONCERNS FOR FALL
Mouse poison
Now is the time that people are putting out poison rodent baits. Beware that dogs and cats can also ingest these baits and suffer the same consequences. Generally they work slowly and disrupt the bloods ability to clot causing a bleeding disorder. This is a reversible problem. If you think your pet has come across a poison bait, call your veterinarian for further instructions.
Antifreeze
Leaking radiators or puddles from flushed radiators can be a big problem for dogs and cats. Ethylene glycol is very toxic and damaging to the kidneys. If you think or know your pet has gotten into this don't wait, call immediately.
Chocolate
Halloween means large quantities of candy for the kids. This can also means chocolate ingestion for the dogs. It takes larger amounts of milk chocolate compared to dark or baking chocolate. Chocolate in dogs acts like caffeine in people, too much is not a good thing.Call if you think you have a problem.
Parasites
Don't forget that this is also prime flea infestations. Prevention is the key to a happy existance with your pet. If you have questions about which preventative medication is right for your pet, don't be afraid to ask. We would rather work to prevent parasite problems than to help you through the more costly clean-up process after a problem has been established.
