Thank you for the shoutout! We were so happy to meet Panda - he’s such a sweet boy and will fit in perfectly! 💙

I have to give a huge shout out to Dr. Johnson of Alpenglow Veterinary Services. She's a mobile vet and she is really fantastic with animals.

She came by today to do a check up and give a rabies vaccine to our new rescue, Panda. She spent quite a but of time letting him get used to her...he's very nervous as he's not used to living in a house. She's a fantastic resource and extremely caring and compassionate.

I highly recommend her to any pet owner from Anchorage to Wasilla. She's taken care of my cats and dogs for the past 2 years and she's amazing.

!! Update !!
The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) has updated the Canine Vaccination Guidelines. Leptospirosis is now recommended as a CORE vaccine (along with Rabies and Distemper/Parvo) regardless of where your dog lives, its breed type, or its lifestyle.

Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that dogs can get from standing water and flooding, and can occur in urban and non-urban areas. The infection is potentially fatal, causing kidney and liver failure, AND is zoonotic, meaning it can be passed on to people.

The bacteria survives best in tropical and subtropical climates, however we have documented Leptospirosis here in Alaska (dogs, bears, foxes, rodents).

The vaccination can be given to puppies as early as 12 weeks, and is a yearly vaccination for adults.

Call/Text/Email if you have questions about the Leptospirosis vaccine, or if you would like to schedule a vaccination update for your pup!

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!
