Someone forgot that yesterday was National Dog Day! Yesterday (and EVERY day!) we celebrate our furry best friends who bring so much love, joy, and tail-wagging happiness into our lives.

Whether they're cuddling by our side, cheering us up with their goofy antics, or being our loyal companions through thick and thin, dogs truly make life better in every way. 🐕🌟

Happy National Dog Day from Banana and Gibson!

Share a pic of your pup and spread the love! 🐾

With temperatures dropping down in the negatives again this week, just wanted to share some cold-weather safety tips to keep in mind for our furry family!

A lot of people always ask me what dog booties I recommend. I love the fleece booties with the Velcro strap that most of the mushers use for their dogs. You can buy them at Alaska Mill and Feed Inc. and I think they do the best job at staying on!!

If you or your pet don’t want to face the cold, let Dr. Johnson come to you for a home visit! Convenient and warm for everyone!

Dr. Johnson here to say.... THANK YOU!
Thank you to all our clients, pets, and community for supporting a small business!

I started Alpenglow a year ago, and I am so thankful to be here, offering in-home, tailored veterinary care to all the furry family members of Alaska.

I definitely couldn't do it without you.
THANK YOU!

Happy Thanksgiving week!
Dr. Johnson here with a friendly reminder on how to keep your pets safe during the holiday season. There are plenty of foods we CAN give our pets to help up celebrate turkey day, but there definitely are some BIG ones to avoid.

Check out this list below to keep everyone happy and healthy during Thanksgiving. Most of these listed are "bad" because they are too rich and fatty, causing an upset stomach or worse - pancreatitis. Some of them are actually toxic, like grapes and onions.

Reach out to Dr. Johnson if you have any questions!

Just a heads up! Dr Johnson is out of the office for the next week. She is attending a family wedding in Tennessee.
She will still be available by phone or email, so reach out with questions, concerns, or to schedule an appointment!

Phones are down today (and apparently were yesterday). I’m working to get it fixed and I apologize for the inconvenience.

I can send and receive limited messages through Wi-Fi (so iPhone users only) and you are able to leave a voicemail.

Please message me on Facebook or email me at [email protected] if you need anything today.

So amazing to see the benefits of microchipping, even if your pet stays indoors!

If you have dogs or cats that aren’t microchipped, PLEASE think about getting one. A one-time fee of $60 and free lifetime registration… worth it for a chance to be reunited with your furry family member. 💙🐾🩵

Call, text or email to schedule a visit for microchipping! 907-390-7134

💚💙 Here at the shelter, we love a good happy ending, so we just had to share this amazing story about Joyce and her cat Charming! Charming accidentally got out back in July just days before Joyce was moving out of state. She spent every night searching for him but was unable to find him before she had to leave. Fast forward to this past weekend when Charming made his way to the shelter. We check every animal for a microchip when they get here, and lucky for Charming, he had one! We were able to contact Joyce and let her know her cat was here. She flew all the way back to Alaska to pick him up and we could not be happier for this wonderful duo! We encourage everyone to get your pets chipped, even if they're indoor cats like Charming was! Having a microchip is what allowed us to reunite Charming with his owner, even after being gone for 3 months, so it's definitely worth it!💙💚

Hey awesome and amazing Alpenglow Vet clients!! Dr. Johnson needs to do some learning!

To have an Alaska state veterinary license (and help your furry family members!), Dr. Johnson must complete 40 hours of Continuing Education every 2 years.

Next week, starting Sept. 5th and continuing through Sept 15th, she will be out of state doing lots of learning!
She will still be available via phone/text/email, however we will have very limited appointments until she returns.

Dr. Johnson does have some availability this week if you need to get in to see her!

Thank you for allowing us to care for your beloved pets!

Just a friendly reminder about how cats (and lots of dogs!) feel about going to the Vet!

A lot of factors go into a stressful vet visit... the carrier, the car ride, the smells and noises of the vet clinic, the unfamiliar people poking and prodding....

Despite the stress, it's important to have your pets examined by a veterinarian yearly, to make sure they are up-to-date on important vaccinations and staying healthy. Many diseases can be prevented by simply identifying them early and being aware of their impact on your pet's longevity.

The good news is that Dr. Johnson will come to YOU. Yes... that's right.... you don't have to deal with the stress of getting your pet in the carrier/car and dragging them into the vet office. A house call also cuts down on time that you spend driving, in the clinic lobby, and scheduling around your day.

Save time AND stress - contact Dr. Johnson at Alpenglow Vet to schedule a home visit today!
