Happy Friday! The best girl Junie came in the other day. She is not sedated in this video! She is an almost 6 month old Frenchie that just loves life no matter where she’s at. We can’t always expect patients to be this relaxed at our office but we try our best to make them comfortable. Hope you all find some relaxation like Junie this weekend!
Work on your pets with nail trims! Start early and make touching the feet a positive experience with treats or pets! Then get them used to the feeling of the clippers on their toenails. Taking small bits of nail until you feel comfortable with trimming. Overall make it a happy/non traumatic experience and you will find it easier in the future or it will make it easier for us when we do it for you!
If you accidentally quick your dog, you can always use cornstarch or flour and place it on the nail to help the body stop that bleeding.
Keep in mind you may do everything right and your pet still hates it. It’s ok! Sometimes nature takes over nurture. There are anti-anxiety meds and other options we can sometimes prescribe for these animals. Ask us next time you’re in!
Not all dogs lay down and enjoy the sunshine like Dr Riegler’s dog, Zeus, do for nail trims, but the less traumatic it is for our pets, the better! (Trimming nails in the position is probably the easiest if your pet is ok with it!). It’s easier to see the quick and prevent bleeding.
Laura-thank you for everything you’ve done for the Americana family over the past 3 years! We truly will miss you ❤️. Best of luck at your next adventure!!
Please stop in anytime between now and Wednesday 12/20 to let Martha know how much you've appreciated her! ❤️❤️❤️
Don't forget your pup's monthly 💓 worm prevention!
Woops! Anyone else forget their dog's monthly heartworm prevention? 🙈
Codey loves his monthly Heartgard and Nexgard. He thinks it's a treat and he gets a month of protection. Don't forget to give your pets their monthly heartworm, flea, and tick preventative!
