On this Memorial Monday, we remember sweet Nikko, who crossed the rainbow bridge on February 28, 2025
___________________________

He failed being a canine dog because he talked to much ! His best friend was our little dachshund Charlie . He thought he was a lap dog and love to cuddle . He was loving and sweet even though he looked like a "Scary" German Shepherd . He was loved and spoiled for his 13 years and his presence is missed .

🐾 Following Up on Pain Awareness in Pets! 🐾

In our latest Java with Jeanette the Vet video, we talked about recognizing pain in our pets—especially our feline friends, who are experts at hiding discomfort. One tool we use is the Feline Grimace Scale, which helps assess pain by looking at subtle changes in your cat’s facial expressions. Squinting eyes, flattened ears, or whiskers pulled back? These could be signs that your cat isn’t feeling their best.

“I wish they could tell me when it’s time.”

This is one of the hardest parts of end-of-life care for pets. Unlike humans, our pets can’t put their feelings into words. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t communicating with us.

You know your pet. You’ve spent years learning their habits, their likes and dislikes, their rhythms. You’ve seen them on their best days, and now, you may be noticing changes that tell you their time is shifting.

This is where palliative and hospice care come in.

✨ Palliative care is focused on comfort—managing pain, mobility, and quality of life while a pet still has good days left. It’s not about curing, but about making sure each day is as comfortable and meaningful as possible. Pain may be a natural part of aging, but that doesn’t mean it should go untreated. Chronic pain, even if it isn’t sudden or severe, deserves to be managed. Medications, mobility aids, and other therapies can help pets stay comfortable longer—because old age alone is not a reason to suffer.

✨ Hospice care begins when a pet is nearing the end of their journey, and the goal shifts from extending life to making their final days peaceful. It provides guidance on when to say goodbye and ensures they pass in the most loving way possible.

So, how do you know when it’s time? Most of the veterinary community agrees that when a pet’s quality of life is consistently declining—when pain or distress outweigh their good moments—it’s time to consider an end-of-life transition.

Tools like a Quality of Life Scales can help. These assessments guide you through things like pain levels, appetite, interest in favorite activities, and overall well-being. But beyond any checklist, trust what you already know.

You’ve always understood your pet in ways no one else can. That bond doesn’t disappear at the end—it’s what will guide you in making the most loving choice when the time comes.

If you need support in this process, we’re here to walk with you. You don’t have to do this alone.

Peaceful Pets has been evacuated and we were able to clear out all of the important stuff from our office. A huge thank you to our team that came in to help clear stuff out. Now we wait and see… Praying that the weather cooperates and that the firefighters are able to get this ugly thing out. This pucture was from the front/side area of our office.

Is Your Pet Slipping on Hard Floors? Here’s How to Help Them Stay Safe 🐾

If you’ve ever noticed your pet struggling to get a grip on slippery floors, you’re not alone. It’s a common challenge, especially for older dogs or those with joint issues. Whether it’s hardwood, tile, or laminate, these smooth surfaces can make it tough for your furry friend to get around.
_______________________________
**Why they slip:

Aging joints: Arthritis or stiff joints can make it harder for pets to push off and maintain their balance.

Decreased coordination: As pets age, their coordination may decline, making them more likely to slip or stumble.

Sensitive paws: Reduced sensation in their paws means they don’t always feel how much traction they’re getting.
_____________________________
**How to make things safer and easier for your pet:

Non-slip rugs or mats: Add rugs or mats to high-traffic areas, like hallways and near furniture, to give your pet more traction.
Foam mats, like the ones one of our staff members used for her senior girl (see photo), provide a soft, non-slip surface that’s gentle on joints and paws.

Grip socks or boots: Special non-slip socks or boots can help keep your pet steady on slippery floors.

Block areas: Block off areas that your pet may get stuck or become injured (you may be able to see that Lacey was blocked from the kitchen via chairs and large blocks in the photo)

Visit the vet: Keep an eye on your pet’s mobility. Regular check-ups can help manage joint pain and prevent further issues.

Ramps or stairs: Help your pet get onto the couch or into the car without straining their body by using a ramp or stairs.
___________________________
Seeing your pet happy, comfortable, and confident is what it’s all about—especially as they enter their golden years. Little changes at home can make a world of difference in helping them move with ease.

Understanding Seizures vs. Fainting Episodes (Syncope) in Dogs

Witnessing your dog collapse can be alarming, but understanding whether they are experiencing a cardiac syncope (fainting episode) or a neurological seizure can make a big difference. Here are some tips to help you recognize the difference:

✔ Onset and Duration
-Cardiac Syncope (Fainting): Usually happens suddenly, often triggered by activity, excitement, or actions like coughing or swallowing. These episodes are brief, lasting a few seconds to a minute.
-Neurological Seizure: Often happens without a specific trigger, even during rest. Seizures tend to last longer than syncope, usually around a minute or more, with distinct phases (aura, ictal, and postictal).

✔ Body Movements
-Cardiac Syncope: The dog may collapse in a limp position, often without convulsive movements. You might see brief muscle stiffening with the head arching backward, but generally no paddling, though they may appear to try to "right" themselves.
-Neurological Seizure: Typically involves rhythmic muscle movements, such as paddling, jerking, or full-body convulsions.

✔ Behavior and Physical Signs During the Episode
-Cardiac Syncope: Often happens during physical activity or stress and can cause the gums or tongue to turn pale or bluish due to reduced blood flow.
-Neurological Seizure: The gums usually don’t change color, unless breathing issues arise. The dog may vocalize, drool, or even urinate during the seizure.

✔ Recovery After the Episode
-Cardiac Syncope: Recovery is usually rapid, with the dog returning to normal within seconds to a minute and showing little to no confusion.
-Neurological Seizure: The dog may need more time to recover, often experiencing disorientation, restlessness, or temporary blindness for several minutes or longer.

✔ Underlying Conditions
-Cardiac Syncope: Often linked to heart issues like arrhythmias or valve disease, especially in breeds predisposed to conditions like dilated cardiomyopathy. Fainting can also be triggered by specific actions, like coughing or swallowing.
-Neurological Seizure: Typically associated with brain-related disorders like epilepsy and is usually not triggered by specific actions or physical activities.

If your dog experiences any of these symptoms, consult your veterinarian for a diagnosis. Knowing the difference can help guide you and your vet in determining the right treatment and care.

On this Memorial Monday, we remember sweet Lacey Roo, who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge on March 16, 2024 ___________________________ After 16 years together, we said Goodbye to our sweet Lacey Roo. When we visited the rescue, our first impression of Lacey was that of her dragging the rescuer down before dashing around the play yard like a racehorse. My husband immediately said, "I want her!" I was less sure as I watched her fly past us at Mach 10, replying, "What?! I haven't even seen what she looks like yet!" Despite my initial hesitation, we welcomed her into our home, quickly adding "Roo" to her name due to her kangaroo-like bouncing. She'd zip around the backyard so fast that she'd ricochet from one wall to the next — which we called "Nascar-ing off the walls." Her boundless, energetic spirit charmed some and overwhelmed others, yet no one could resist falling in love with her. Watching her sprint alongside my bike was nothing short of breathtaking. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't keep up with her lightning-fast pace. She loved to run. As the years went by, her need for long runs lessened and regular walks sufficed, but she never really slowed down. She became a big sister when she helped welcome our three children into the world, teaching them about love and the pure joy of having a dog. Our girls have never known life without our sweet Lacey Roo, and though she's no longer with us, her memory remains. We'll always treasure moments like wrestling with blankets, endless cuddles without regard for personal space and her signature Nascar moves with wall-climbing adventures—she never failed to bring love and laughter into our home. Her mesmerizing blue eyes lined with black and her heart of gold will forever hold a place in our hearts. I know we got the share our lives with her longer than most, but it never seems long enough. A sweet soul like hers should stay a light in this world for much longer. She will be forever missed. Forever loved.
