Regular lab work is the key to understanding your pet's health.
Pets are genetically wired to hide any signs of illness, and physical exams can't always catch internal issues. That's why routine screening diagnostics are crucial to ensuring your pet is healthy and happy- both, inside and out! 🐾

Call us at 719-395-8239 to schedule your pet's wellness visit with lab diagnostics.

Thank you!

It’s common for pets to experience stressful events at home, such as storms or fireworks. There are several medications that your veterinarian may suggest for your pet, and most are known as “quick” acting, meaning it will take about 1-2 hours to see the full effect. For most pets, the medication leaves their system within 8-12 hours. It is also recommended to trial the medication at home before the stressful event so you can watch for potential side effects and negative responses.
After the trial, your veterinarian will want to know:
• How soon does the medication take effect in your pet? (e.g. 1 hour)
• What effects are seen? (e.g. less barking out the window)
• How long did the effects last for? (e.g. returned to normal behavior after 7 hours)
Share this information with your veterinarian so they can advise you on the next steps. Keep in mind that these medications will NOT create a “zombie” pet. If this is seen, this is considered an abnormal side effect and the veterinarian should be contacted immediately.
Talk to your veterinarian for recommendations if your pet has a history of situational anxiety or stress.

Is your pet usually nervous or stressed during veterinary visits? Talk to your veterinarian to see if a PVP--pre-visit pharmaceutical--might be an option. These medications are used as an addition to training, behavioral, and/or environmental modification to treat veterinary-related fear, anxiety, or stress.
When implemented with a behavioral treatment plan, these medications can increase the odds of a successful visit. They help reduce the stress and anxiety so the veterinary team can work to change the way your pet feels about specific procedures. If your pet is anxious about veterinary visits, your veterinarian can recommend a plan to help make exams less stressful.

Understanding your pet’s body language and being an advocate for your pet’s veterinary behavioral health is a very important tool as a pet owner. Our pets communicate with us through visual communication which is different from how people communicate through verbal communication. When breaking down body language, it’s recommended to look at the entire dog and to monitor its posture and 6 different body parts. The body parts are the tail, hair, ears, eyes, mouth, and face.
In a behaviorally comfortable dog, the dog would be showing the following signs:
• Posture: Loose, showing no muscle definition or stiffness, may have a wiggly posture
• Tail: The tail is neutral and held parallel or a bit lower to the spine.
• Hair: Flat – Not standing up
• Ears: Neutral (where the ears would normally rest in the patient)
• Eyes: Pupils normal (may have a small amount of dilation), white part of eye is not noticeable,
• Mouth: Closed, loose lips
• Face: Relaxed and soft

In a behaviorally comfortable cat, the cat would be showing the following signs:
• Posture: Loose, showing no muscle definition or stiffness
• Tail: Horizontal with a slight dropping; flagpole (straight up) tails can also be seen
• Hair: Flat – Not standing up
• Ears: Neutral – Forward or slightly to the side
• Eyes: Eyes may be half-open with a smaller pupil
• Mouth: Closed, loose lips
• Face: Whiskers to the side, relaxed and soft
