This is the time of year we start to see lacerations due to dog vs auger incidences. It seems like common sense to NOT run into a running auger... but dogs are not people....They are just happy and excited to be out with you! We also see cases of fish hooks in the paws, legs, mouth/face since bait smells great to dogs and cats alike! Even at home, make sure your fishing line, hooks, and bait are all put away in a pet safe area since we also see a lot of cats who end up being the "catch of the day".

🐕 Make sure your dog is under control and away from the auger while it is running.
🎣Make sure all of your fish hooks are catching FISH and not your pets.
🛠 Having a set of bolt cutters with you may help cut off fish hooks with barbs that are NOT embedded in your pet for safer transport to our clinic.

We would love to hear about your "catch of the day" stories that do not involve "cat fish" or "dog fish" this winter!

Some of the lakes are frozen solid and ready for ice skating, ice fishing, and other activities. Please be mindful that the larger bodies of water may not be frozen completely and to be aware for your pet when out and about on ice!

-Running on ice can lead to torn cruciate ligaments and other soft tissue injuries
-January and February has a high number of dogs coming to see us for hind limb lameness and often times, it is a cruciate injury so be mindful of high speed zig zag running on slippery surfaces!

Today is National Pet Travel Safety Day. Here are some simple safety tips for car travel. You never know what can happen when you are on the roads and even if YOU are driving safely, others may be distracted.

With air travel, be mindful of the outdoor temperatures, the breed of dog you own ( thick fur or smooshed face) on when it's safe for them to fly.

Having pets secured in the car can help prevent injury, even with a hard stop. We've seen some smaller breeds break legs from falling OFF the front seat etc due to a hard stop and landing funny.

We've also seen raisin toxicity due to kids leaving that part of the trail mix in their car seat cup holder etc or dogs digging through the snack pack while at a rest stop.

We hope you and your besties have an amazing 2026 full of adventure but hope these safety tips keeps you out of our clinic!

This week’s "What’s Your Diagnosis" features a patient who came in after 24 hours of straining to urinate and only passing blood-tinged urine. X-rays revealed multiple stones blocking the urethra and sitting in the bladder, causing early kidney concerns. After relieving the blockage and moving the stones back into the bladder, he went on to surgery for full removal. He’s now recovering well and on a lifelong urinary diet to help prevent future stones.

New Year’s Eve is here! Fireworks, parties, and loud celebrations can be stressful for pets, so now is the time to get prepared.

• Anxiety support: Pets who are sensitive to noise may benefit from anti-anxiety medications or calming aids to help them stay relaxed during fireworks.
• Stress-related accidents: Loud events can trigger GI upset in dogs or urinary issues in cats. Make sure you have any needed medications or supportive care ready.
• Environment prep: Create a safe, quiet space for your pet with familiar bedding, toys, and perhaps soft music to help drown out the noise.

After the festivities, it is easy to just want to relax and take care of things later. Today is the day we see a lot of accidental ingestions. Ribbon left out, candy wrappers, and stockings left on the floor or couch with yummy treats.... While you are recovering from your family's festivities from yesterday, your pet might be on a treasure hunting mission! Just make sure all the things that COULD be toxic or hard to pass through a GI tract are put away and out of reach today!
