Okay, we know we're Sarpy County, but this post from the Douglas County Sheriff's Office was too cute not to share! Douglas County Sheriff, Aaron Hanson, has a major allergy to cats. But like so many other devout cat lovers he was willing to make a sacrifice to promote a worthy cat rescue cause!
If you know, Sheriff Hanson, then would you know that he is terribly allergic to cats.
But you would also know that Sheriff loves animals.
Sheriff is willing to sacrifice his sinuses to hold as many rescued kittens as he could in order to try to get you to support NALA Nebraska’s Animal Loving Advocates.
Please check out their page or website and support their amazing efforts to protect innocent neglected animals.

Happy International Cat Day to all our feline furiends!! Pictured here, with a fabulous bowl of cat grass, are our patients Houdini and Chappie Dalrymple. Their mom says that Houdini and Chappie love Bellevue Animal Hospital! Chappie likes to escape the exam room and say hi to everyone in the back office. 😁 Both of these handsome boys are about 9 and 1/2 years old. Chappie has been our patient since 2017, and Houdini since 2018. They share their kingdom with Orion, who is 16 going on 17, as well as Princess (14,) Rebel (5,) and Ty (9 and 1/2.)
Please share your kitty pictures with us in the comments section on Facebook, or tag us on Instagram!
LOL!!!
Haven't verified this, but we love it!

WE ARE OPEN TODAY!
From our friends at Urgent Pet Care:
UPDATE: We have closed for the rest of today (Thursday 1 August 2024) due to the continuing power outage and loss of phone service. At this time, we hope to reopen tomorrow morning at 7:30 a.m., but that will depend largely on how quickly OPPD is able to restore power to our area. We will post further updates as we receive them, and will be in touch with anyone who has appointments scheduled tomorrow. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience.
If your pet needs emergency medical care today, VCA Midwest Veterinary Referral and Emergency Center DOES have power and is available to see our patients! Please call them first at 402-614-9000 so that they can assess your pet's needs. Urgent Pet Care is also open, but they are unable to offer emergency express service. Please call them at 402-597-2911 with any questions or concerns.
VCA is open if your pet needs emergency care today! Please call them at 402-614-9000 for assistance.
Community, we are open, have power and are able to take care of your pet emergencies. Please feel free to give us a call so we can support the local veterinary clinics that don't have power or resources at this time. 402.614.9000
SITUATION UPDATE: We are still without power or phones as of 10:37 a.m. If our power is not restored by noon today, we will close for the rest of the afternoon. We have already reached out to those of you who had appointments scheduled today, and will be in contact again if we need to reschedule your pet. If you need to pick up a refill or food today, please contact us via email and we will get back to you asap. We apologize for any inconvenience, and hope you all came through the storm safely.

Did you know? We'll send you home with a little tote full of goodies at your new puppy or kitten's first vet visit - puppy or kitten not included! 😁 Miss Mia Smiley came to see us for her first examination last week, and it seems like our take-home bag was just the right size for a sleepy pup to hang out in while mama checked out and scheduled Mia's next appointment. Mia is a Yorkshire Terrier/Toy Poodle mix, just 10 weeks old and all of 2.66 pounds. We look forward to seeing her again soon!
(Tote includes a new pet guide, vaccination record folder, toy, and a sample of parasite preventative for your puppy or kitten. Items included subject to availability.)
WOW. They *literally* baked cookies inside this car. Also makes an excellent point about pet / human safety, as the park states in the original post: "PLEASE be mindful of any pets you bring on your trips to places that aren’t super pet friendly (like national parks unfortunately - it’s a safety concern for pets, our wildlife, and visitors) and try to limit the time inside vehicles. If we can bake cookies in a hot car, NO animal should be sitting in those conditions." And please be mindful of taking your pets ANYwhere when the temps are soaring!!!
Did you know? Today is World Snake Day!! How many snake owners do we have out there? Please share your pet's photos with us!
HEAT ADVISORY! Temperatures and humidity in the Omaha-metro area are predicted to be dangerously high this weekend. This is a serious concern for animals as well as humans. Please keep your pets safe and cool! For more information about heatstroke, please revisit this blog post on our website: https://bit.ly/3VVHbQy
Happy Friday from Balto Kersey!! Please feel free to boop the snoot 😄 If you have any treats, that would be PAWESOME. Isn't Balto the cutest? He is a Siberian Husky, Boxer, and Blue Heeler mix, and he will be celebrating his first birthday next month! Balto has been our patient since he was just a little over 6 pounds, and now he's a big boi of 56 pounds. Look deeply into his baby blue eyes and just *try* to resist giving him a treat!
Splash safely! Avoid strong currents and watch for fatigue as pups enjoy the water.
Don't forget your pet's parasite prevention meds, folks ... some of those pesky parasites can apparently live forever if you give them half a chance!! (LOL)
The nematodes had survived in a state of slowed metabolism called cryptobiosis, according to a new paper
Let's celebrate the red, white, and woof alongside our furry friends. Wishing you a day filled with joy, safety, and lots of tail wags! 🇺🇸

We are super excited to share that #Librela from Zoetis is now available at our practice! Librela is the first and only monthly injectable anti-nerve growth factor (NGF) monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy for dogs with osteoarthritis (OA) pain. One of our very own vet techs, Lauren, is already seeing pawesome results in her dog, Kleopatra, just a few days after Kleo's first injection! Kleo is an 11 year old Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen who has had a significant limp with her right front leg. Kleo has been treated with other medications, but it's the Librela that has finally made a difference for her! #BAHNebraska #bellevueanimalhospitalpc #canineosteoarthritis #canineoa #animalpainawareness #beforeandafter #dogsofinstagram #takeyourpetothevet #petitbassetgriffonvendeen #AAHA #aahaaccredited

DRUM ROLL PLEASE! We have winners!!! Thank you to everyone who entered our raffle for the Dyson Pet Vacuum by entering their pet's stool sample to check for intestinal parasites ... an important yearly ritual that should be part of everyone's preventative health care plan for their pet! The winner is ... "JoJo" Lefler and his proud owners, David Lefler and Rachel Kelly! JoJo is a 6 month old Cocker Spaniel and Golden Retriever mix, so the family should be able to make great use of that vacuum 😁 Congratulations to the family! Stay tuned for the announcement of our heartworm and flea / tick preventative medication winners!! #winnerwinnerchickendinner #preventativeveterinarycare #bellevueanimalhospitalpc #BAHNebraska
Did you know? Today is National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day! This is an annual reminder to schedule a physical exam for your cat, because cats require just as much care as we do! Ongoing regular checkups keep your cat happy and healthy. Unfortunately, 83% of cats visit the veterinarian before their 1st birthday, but over 50% don’t return until they become sick or are in pain. Your veterinarian is trained to detect subtle signs of illness and disease. Catching these signs early is the best way to help your cat live a long, healthy life. Your veterinarian can also advise you on any questions you may have specific to your cat. It is important that your cat visits the veterinary practice yearly for their checkup, and even more often for senior cats.
Congratulations to Mary Vedder, Client Services Specialist, on her 30 year anniversary as a member of our team! Mary started out with us in August 1993 as a part-time receptionist, while she was studying towards a biology degree. She graduated summa cm laude from the University of Nebraska-Omaha in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. Mary was a member of the American Animal Hospital Association’s 2016-2017 Online Accreditation Engagement Committee (OAEC) and continued with that role in 2017-2018. Along with her many and varied other duties and responsibilities, she is the administrator for our hospital’s official website, as well as for our page and Instagram accounts; she coordinates all of our special outgoing email correspondence; and she has extensive expertise in assisting our clients and staff with US and international health certificates for traveling pets. Please join us in thanking Mary for an outstanding 30 years of service! #workanniversary #employeeappreciation #BAHNebraska #clientservices #30years #AAHA #aahaaccredited #bellevueanimalhospitalpc

(You can learn more at https://bit.ly/3DGhDy1 ) To enter our giveaway, all you have to do is bring in a fecal sample from your cat or dog (to be checked for intestinal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, and giardia) and fill out a short contest entry form at our front desk. Only one entry per household please, and payment for the test ($48) must be made when you bring in the fecal sample. That's it! Entries for the giveaway will be accepted through 31 August 2023, and we will announce the winner on 5 September 2023.

If you have any questions, please ask one of our staff members! #suckupthoseparasites #dysonv8 #pethairdontcare #BAHNebraska #AAHA #aahaaccredited #preventativemedicine #healthypets
Wishing all our pet parents a happy and safe 4th of July! 🇺🇸 Keep tails wagging and purrs going strong, by ensuring your pet is kept secure and calm during fireworks and festivities!
When you find out that one of your team members has hidden talents ... you gotta show them off! If your pet has to spend the day with us for a surgical procedure or dental cleaning, it may be lucky enough to come home with an extra special medication bag that's adorned with artwork by one of our amazing veterinary technicians, Barbara Rodriguez. These portraits of Brandi and Choji were so cute, we just had to share them with all of you 🥰
We are often asked "how cold is too cold?" to walk your dog or let your cat outside. The lowest advisable temp depends to some extent on the breed of the animal, of course, and whether or not the individual pet has had time to acclimate to the drop in the outdoor temperatures (this can take several days or even weeks!) Cold tolerance can also vary from pet to pet based on their coat, body fat stores, activity level, and health. Shorter walks in very cold weather are advisable for both dogs and people. Perhaps a 10 or 15 minute walk as opposed to a 30 minute walk, for example. A pet without a thick haircoat would benefit from a sweater or doggy coat, as would any senior pet or one with a chronic medical condition. Longer-haired and thick-coated dog breeds - such as Siberian Huskies and other dogs bred specifically for colder climates - are more tolerant of cold weather, but NO pet should be outside for long periods in below-freezing weather, and certainly NOT in the dangerously extreme cold weather that is forecast for us in the next few days. Ears, noses, paw pads, and any other exposed skin can suffer from frostbite in just a few minutes. Even if your pet "loves the cold" and "doesn't want to come inside" PLEASE do not let them stay outside when the weather is extreme!!!

We'd like to introduce you to our new Client Communication Coordinator, Allyah Rayyan! We first hired Allyah as a veterinary assistant in July 2021, a role that she continues to fill now in addition to training new staff members, working out staff schedules, and much more. Many of you have already become acquainted with Allyah on the phone, since our veterinarians have entrusted her with the important duty of contacting our clients to relay and explain their pets' laboratory test results and other important patient care information. Allyah is perfectly suited for this position! Allyah graduated from the College of Saint Mary in Omaha with a degree in biology and a minor in natural science. She is conscientious, knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate. Allyah works closely with each of our veterinarians, who give her detailed interpretation of test results for each individual patient, as well as any instructions and recommendations for further diagnostics or follow up care. This has enabled our entire staff to improve client services, and has allowed the veterinary team to focus on patient care and appointments, as well as other critical tasks. In her free time, Allyah enjoys tennis, reading and knitting, watching all different types of movies, and hanging out with family and friends. Allyah said she really enjoys a good joke, so if you have any to share, be sure to let her know! (PS, she also has a talent for animal impressions, and she does a pretty amazing elephant and turkey!) Allyah's quirkiness, dedication to our clients and patients, and her professionalism have been noticed by everyone on our team - we all love her, and we think you will too!
We have some exciting news for you! Stay tuned for more information about our forthcoming text messaging service! We'll be posting details in the next few weeks.
Happy Tongue-Out Tuesday from Paprika the Chameleon! (Wait for it!) This cutie, who belongs to one of our veterinary assistants, is named Paprika because she's so spicy :D
