Health Check ❤️❤️

To our family and friends at Animal Care Hospital, we wanted to share a quick post from our friends at AVMA - please see below and reach out to the office (319-378-9000) for any additional questions!

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) is warning pet owners about a mystery canine respiratory pathogen. Attached are some articles explaining more. We have reason to believe there may be cases in Iowa. The AVMA recommends keeping your pets at home this Thanksgiving and avoiding the dog park or large canine gatherings to prevent spread while they gather more information about the type of pathogen and how to treat it. Experts do not know if it is bacterial or viral, but we know it is more severe than normal respiratory pathogens and does not respond to the antibiotics normally used. They recommend that if your dog is coughing, sneezing, lethargic, or having nasal or eye discharge, please call a veterinarian right away. They recommend keeping your pet up to date on their vaccines including Bordetella, a respiratory pathogen to best protect their immune system. Respiratory pathogens are often species specific so, though we do not yet know for certain, it's unlikely any other species than canine will be affected.

🕯️ Lit candles and potpourri - always supervise
🌺 Beware of poinsettias and other harmful plants

Let's make this season joyful, SAFE, and full of love for our furry family members! 🐾

In recognition of National Pet Diabetes Month, keep your pets clear of rich, fatty foods!

Keep holiday goodies and rich human food away from your pets! Giving your pets human food that is rich in seasoning and fat could cause stomach upset, weight gain, and could lead to diabetes 😯🥣

Holiday munchies are a REAL thing 🤭🐶

We love our pets!!! 🤭🤭

"A dog can express more with his tail in minutes than his owner can express with his tongue in hours."

Did you know that May is National Chip Your Pet Month? Microchipping your pet is a simple and effective way to ensure they can reunite with you if they ever get lost. And with the warmer weather and more outdoor adventures, keeping your furry friend safe is more important than ever. #NationalChipYourPetMonth #MicrochipYourPet #PetSafety

We all love our pets and want to do our best to keep them healthy and happy. Here are some tips on keeping your pet healthy: 1) Pay attention to subtle behavior changes to understand what's normal and what's not. 2) Practice pet safety by keeping your pet away from toxic chemicals and using microchips and identification tags. 3) Exercise is just as important for pets as for people! Go for a daily walk, try a new class together, or build a fun cat perch. 4) Schedule annual wellness exams 5) Brushing your pet's teeth will keep your pet's mouth healthy, and oral health is a foundation of health!

In keeping with the theme of National Pet Dental Health Month, it's important to note that our gum health is important too! Pets are susceptible to tartar on their teeth, just like people. Once tartar begins to develop, it can lead to gum irritation. As gums become inflamed, they can pull away from the teeth, which creates pockets that trap more bacteria and food particles. Your pet's teeth can become loose and painful. This is why it's so important to have your pet's teeth checked by your vet regularly!

February is National Pet Dental Health Month! Just like humans, pets need to have their teeth professionally cleaned too!

Our office will be closed Thursday March 3rd for an all day staff training. We will re-open on Friday March 4th from 7am-6pm. If you need emergency services, please contact Blue Pearl at 319-841-5161

What makes a good pet doctor?

Is it comprehensive services, a top-notch facility or highly skilled staff?

At Animal Care Hospital, we believe it’s much more than this. We believe it’s about creating a partnership with our clients and developing a special bond with their pets. It’s about sharing our passion for animals and going the extra mile to make a difference.

For our clients, that means being there to provide support, even if it’s just a shoulder to lean on or an ear to listen. For our patients, it means taking the time to make them feel comfortable and at ease. We’re known for our compassion and the measures we take to make our facility warm and inviting. From the moment you walk through the door you’ll notice the difference.
