A lot of clients have been asking about the mystery virus that is making headlines. We have not seen any cases in our area but want to be aware of symptoms to watch for just in case. We do carry the bivalent influenza vaccine (H3N8 and H3N2) in addition to our intranasal Bordetella (kennel cough and parainfluenza). Our recommendation is to keep your dogs up to date on these vaccines and notify us as soon as you notice any upper respiratory symptoms (coughing, sneezing, nasal or eye discharge, etc.), especially if your dogs come in contact with other dogs frequently when boarding, grooming or at the dog park. 🐶

Dr. Lori Teller, a clinical professor at Texas A&M Veterinary School, said it’s hard to tell if the illness has reached Texas because respiratory illnesses are not reportable in dogs in …

Far West Vet would like to wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

Due to the rising costs of pet food and shipping prices, we encourage all of our clients to order Royal Canin and Hills diets on our online pharmacy. We will continue to carry small bags and canned food of most of our recommended diets, but we will be phasing out large bags. Our online pharmacy offers discounts when you ship to your home, and even larger discounts when you sign up for Autoship. Please visit our online pharmacy and let us know if you need help ordering your pets' foods. 🐶🐱

Is your cat slowing down, becoming less playful? Older cats suffering from Osteoarthritis may have trouble using stairs, jumping up and down or even using the litter box. We now carry Solensia, an injectable monoclonal antibody for cats that helps with the symptoms of Osteoarthritis. It is administered monthly and most clients notice a difference after 2 to 3 injections. Call us if you would like more information or to schedule an appointment with a doctor to find out if Solensia is right for your kitty. Here is a handy checklist that you can fill out online that will help identify signs of OA in your cat.

Use this checklist to see if your cat may be showing signs of osteoarthritis.
