Poppy

This is Poppy! She comes to see us every day for Day Care while her mom is at work. If your dog suffers from separation anxiety, your pets need a safe place to stay while you have work done in your home, or just because your pets need someone to play with while you're out for the day...give us a call. When your pet stays for Day Care for 4 days, the 5th is FREE! Poppy loves coming to see us every day and really enjoys her walks outside. We think if she could talk, Poppy would highly recommend our Day Care Services.

Mobilize the Earth for Earth Day 2012

The first Earth Day, on April 22, 1970, activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life to speak out against the deterioration of the environment and demand change. As a result, the Environmental Protection Agency was created, the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts were passed,and the modern environmental movement was born.

Today, more than 1 billion people in 192 countries participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it the largest civic observance in the world. This year, in the face of global inaction on pressing environmental problems, we must harness that power.

Earth Day Network is calling upon individuals, organizations, businesses and governments to Mobilize the Earth™ and demand that environmental issues become a top priority.

Pets and Obesity

According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, an estimated 54% of dogs and cats in the United States are overweight or obese...that is 93 million pets! The extra weight puts them at greater risk for many health problems. These include osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes, kidney disease, many forms of cancer, and heart and respiratory problems. Each of these health issues can decrease the life expectancy of a pet by an average of 2 - 2 1/2 years. If you suspect that your pet may be overweight, you are probably correct. Ask us to help you develop a weight loss plan for your pet and give them the gift of better health.

Pets & Medication

Please do not give your pet ANY medication without first consulting a veterinarian. Even though you are trying to help your pet, you may be doing more harm than good. Medications such as aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofen can be dangerous and potentially fatal if given to your pet. Ibuprofen toxicity can lead to gastric ulceration, renal failure and liver failure. Aspirin toxicity can cause gastric ulceration and an inability for blood to clot. If you feel your pet is in pain, please call our office and schedule an appointment. Our veterinarians can examine your pet, and make sure he or she receives the proper treatment and medications.
