One of the perks of our jobs is getting puppy cuddles and they don't get much cuter than this.

Bear is an 8 week old Siberian Husky that came in to see doctor Wasti Yesterday. In celebration here are some husky facts.

Huskies were originally bred in northeastern Asia by the Chukchi people and were kept as companion dogs for their families as well as endurance sled dogs. They've gained popularity through movies like Balto, Eight Below, and Togo.
They are very social, and regularly need the company of their people or other dogs. They also have an overwhelming desire to run, and they should be on leash or in a securely fenced-in area at all times and never allowed off lead. They're known for the variety of vocalizations they use and are often said to be "talking".

Moose and Myrtle would like to show off their jackets and remind you that if your dog tolerates jackets they can prolong outside playtime in colder temperatures.

As always, know your dog. Some dogs are more cold tolerant than others.

National Labrador Day.
Did you know that the Labrador Retriever was the most popular breed in the United States for 31 years – from 1991 until 2022.
They are versatile dogs that are just as much at home as a pet as they are out in the field hunting. They are trainable with even temperaments. The AKC recognizes three colors of Labradors; yellow, black, and chocolate. Red labs are technically considered yellow and are the result of repeated selective breeding of the darker yellow/red coat color.

Happy New Year
Check out the top posts of the year.

2024 was a year of grief and joy. We lost a cornerstone of our team and community. Doctor Luckemeyer was an inspiration to many and he will not be forgotten. We also celebrated some amazing milestones. We added a few members to our team. We saved a lot of lives. We got to practice veterinary medicine and serve our community to the absolute best of our ability.
Thank you for the amazing year. We can't wait to see what happens next.

The end of the year leads many of us to look to the past. Meanwhile, I find myself looking towards the future. And seeing the kindness children show, especially to animals makes me hopeful.

November 29th is National Day of Listening. After a chaotic holiday there's nothing better than the calming sound of a cat purring. There have even been studies that suggest a cats purr is physically beneficial to themselves, as well as their humans. It can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and potentionally even aid in healing due to the low frequency vibrations. So, listen to your cat, it's as good for you as it is for them.

Happy first day of Fall. What do you do with your pets for some fall fun?

And of course we have some outtakes.

Did you know that seedless watermelon is safe for dogs? In moderation and without the rind, watermelon is a great summer snack for the whole family.

Puppy play time

The answer to yesterdays What's That Wednesday is.................... a microchip A microchip is a form of permanent identification. The microchip is a rice grain sized piece of technology that is implanted beneath the skin (usually between the shoulder blades) with a needle. The microchip carries a number, that when scanned can be connected to an owners name, phone number, and any other important information. The microchip on its own doesn't do any good. You must make sure it's registered to you. If you adopted a pet or rehomed it from someone else you can call the compay the microchip is registered to and update the information. The other important thing to make note of with microchips is that they can migrate to other areas. I've seen them move further down the back or into the shoulder. That's why you see Taylor scanning the whole dog.

The answer to yesterdays What's That Wednesday is.................... An Underwater Treadmill. The treadmill is a piece of equiptment used by Cassie over at Four Paws Rehabilitation Center . The underwater treadmill allows patients to increase muscle mass in a low weight bearing environment. It's also a great option for weight loss and increasing range of motion. Jenkins loves his weekly visits with Cassie an here he shows you how low stress the treadmill can be.

As you can see, her mobility has returned and she doesn't hesitate to jump to the top of her cat trees and play. She's living the best life possible without the hindrance of a healing leg.

We hope you're enjoying your weekend as much as Maury enjoyed playing in the sink during a recent visit.

Just look at her move. In her case amputation was the best option due to cost and long term recovery. Recovery from amputation is typically easier than dragging a cast around for several months and eliminates the risk of arthritis in the injured leg.
