We have teamed up with Cherokee City Hall and the Cherokee Oklahoma Police Department and are holding a free, that's right, FREE microchipping event next month!

Microchips are the only fool proof way someone can 100% accurately identify your dog for you if they are lost or stolen.

This process takes just a few minutes to complete and we can have you back out the door in no time with everything you need!

We will also have $15 (cash or check) rabies vaccines if needed!

Come on down to the City Hall Saturday, August 3rd and take advantage of this awesome program! We are limited to 100 spots, so make sure you come early! No appointment needed!

If you live out in the country, take your dogs on outdoor hikes and adventures, or have one that is your best hunting buddy, there are good odds that you will run into a rattlesnake at one point or another. Help protect your furry friend by giving them the Rattlesnake Vaccine!

This vaccine helps aid in the reduction of mortality in healthy dogs caused by bites from the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake. It is also cross protective against the venom of several other types of rattlesnakes.

This vaccine must be given in two stages, 30 days apart. SO we are offering a great deal to get them their first vaccine and their booster so that they will be protected!

Sign up to start the process during the remainder of the month of July and receive these reduced prices:

1st vaccine and exam: $40 ($10 Off!)

2nd booster vaccine: $30 ($20 Off!)

You must do the 30 day subsequent booster to ensure effectiveness. Just like their annual rabies and combo vaccines, this must also be boostered on a yearly basis.

If you would like to schedule your pets appointment, or would like more information, please don’t hesitate to give the office a call! 580-596-2478

DAISY HAS BEEN FOUND!!!

If you see Daisy please contact our office, her mom Megan Rice, or her dad Tyler Rice.

They are understandably worried especially as this is very out of character for Daisy.

She has a name tag with contact info on as well as a rabies tag with our info!

We WILL be in the office on Friday, July 5th, but remember that we are closed the 4th. So, if you are running low on any of your pets medications, it's better to refill them now than forget on Friday and have to wait until Monday!!

We hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July!!

More pets go missing on the 4th of July due to fear from the loud noise created by fireworks than on any other day of the year!

IF you have a pet that is fearful of fireworks, we are going to share a few tips to help them out this holiday season:

🧨 Create a safe enclosed space for them to hide indoors
🧨Shut windows and doors to muffle the noises
🧨Turn on the TV or radio to create background noise
🧨Keep them occupied with toys
🧨Be with them as much as possible
🧨Use calming medications as needed

Taking these small measures can help alleviate your pets fears immensely. If you are interested in refilling your pets calming medications with us, or would like to see about having some prescribed, the time is now! Do not wait until the day before. Also please understand that these medications are by prescription only and you must have a current client/patient/doctor relationship and be in good standing with the clinic to receive prescription medications.

Call our office today if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment! (580) 596-2478

📢 Hey everybody! We have got a fella here who is looking for a new home! 🏡

Meet PUMA! 💙

🌟 Just over 6 years old
🌟 German Shorthair Pointer
🌟 Up to date on vaccines
🌟 Negative for heartworms
🌟 He was neutered today!!

Puma is looking for a home where he can be the only guy around to steal your attention. He is very sweet and loving towards his people, but he can be a bit of a grouch when it comes to other furry critters.

If you are interested in giving Puma the home he is looking for, give our office a call and we can put you in touch with his current owner!

HEY EVERYONE!!

Fleas and ticks are out in full force, and preventatives that come prescribed by your veterinarian are the only effective way to combat them!

That being said:

We wanted to announce that we have reworked the pricing on our flea and tick preventatives and are able to offer them at a much lower, (reduced by 25%!), more competitive rate!! We did this to make them more affordable for our clients so that you can continue to give your pet the care and relief they need!

This price decrease is across the board on all preventatives! Nexgard, Nexgard Plus, Frontline AND Bravecto!!

UPDATE!!! She is currently in a WONDERFUL foster home! Still seeking a forever home!

Happy Monday everyone! We've got another very special case for you!

This little girl came in last week after a Good Samaritan picked her up after seeing her hit by a car. Fortunately, all that was damaged in the incident was her leg. Unfortunately, the damage was extensive enough that it required amputation.

She had her surgery on Friday and recovered well over the weekend. That being said, we would LOVE to get her into a foster home, or even better, a FURever home as soon as possible.

She is approximately 8 weeks old and sweet as can be. She LOVES cuddles and prefers to be held. She is eating and drinking well and has already learned to use the litter box. She likes everyone, including gentle dogs. She will need to be brought in for a checkup in a couple of weeks to make sure she completed healing properly, and to start the process of vetting her.

There are a couple videos in the comment section as well!

If you are interested in either fostering or adopting this adorable girl, please give our office a call and ask to speak with Juli. 580-596-2478

🎉UPDATE TIME!!! 🥳

We are still often asked how Bruce is doing, so we touched base with his mom and got permission to share a little PUPdate!

Bruce is living his best life! He has two dog brothers, Lt. Dan and Ottie. They all get along really well and LOVE to play! His mom is the owner of Sammy’s Pet Services in Alva, where she makes goodies for your pups, offers dog walking services and all sorts of other items! Because of that, he's a lucky dog that gets to spend time at work helping his mom run the business! (Check out the video of him working on custom dog name tags 😜)

We are so happy that this sweet boy got a second chance! 🥰

UPDATE!! Speck has found his forever home!!

05/30/2024

As we get through spring, and into summer every year, we receive multiple calls from people wanting to rehome unexpected litters of kittens. In order to help lessen the number of unwanted litters in our community, we are having another discounted spay/neuter special!

If you have feral cats in your area you want fixed, trap them and we can take care of that for you!
If you've been wanting to get your pet fixed, take advantage of this special and do it at a discount!

This is open to ANYONE, not just Cherokee residents!
Give us a call today to get on the schedule!

05/21/2024

We just wanted to remind you that our office will be closed in observance of Memorial Day next Monday, May 27th.

Emergency services will be available as usual if needed!

‼️ Hey Everybody ‼️

🐶 We want you to meet Speck! This boy is looking for a safe, loving FURever home!

Please read the entire post to ensure you have all of the information!

Here's what we know:

He was rescued from his previous home due to serious neglect. He was staked out in the yard 24/7, year round, without shelter while the owner was gone for several weeks at a time. This dog depended on the kindness of neighbors for food and water.

Once the people that rescued him were made aware of the situation, they approached the previous owner with an offer to take him in. The offer was refused for a while, until the owner decided they wanted to leave town again and gave him up. The only information provided about Speck's past was:

🔵 He is a Heeler and possibly Collie or Aussie mix
🔵 He has never had any vet care

BUT! We are going to fix that.

His fosters will be bringing him in next week to stay with us for a while so that he can get all of the care he needs: neutering, vaccines, flea and tick treatment, etc.

They have told me that he is a super friendly, sweet guy. He loves to be pet, and smiles at you when you talk to him. They have been working with him on basic commands and he seems to be a quick learner and eager to please.

He gets along well with other dogs and has not been food aggressive with their dog. He waits for her to eat and then eats his food. He also walks on a leash well and when off leash, doesn't run off. He also doesn't bark a lot and doesn't jump on them.

He is terrified of storms, but we assume that is related to the fact that he was left out in them with no shelter. He is not house trained as he has never had the opportunity to learn, but he could still be taught or make a nice outside farm dog if someone was willing to properly care for him in that capacity.

If you are interested in adopting Speck, please reach out to us!

He will be available once the required vetting is complete, but we are willing to work out a deal with an adopter to let him go early with a contract stating that they will complete the required care on a specific timeline.

Help us give this guy a chance at a happy life! 580-596-2478

Somebody knows it’s quittin’ time! ⏰🤣

We hope everyone has a great evening!

05/06/2024

UPDATE: He has been adopted!

This sweet boy Lucian is looking for a forever home!

We don't know a whole lot about his past, as he was rescued from a shelter just a couple of hours before his scheduled euthanasia (due to his hold time being up, it was no fault of his own).

He is a mixed breed, is full grown and weighs in at 53 pounds. He's very sweet and friendly, likes dogs and cats and is completely current on all of his vetting (vaccines, neutering, etc.).

If you are interested in meeting Lucian, please give us a call and we can get you in touch with his foster home!! 580-596-2478

05/06/2024

UPDATE: He has a home!

This male Pyrenees puppy showed up at a house near Cherokee over the weekend. He looks to be roughly six months old.

We are posting to try to help locate an owner, but if one is not found quickly, we would like to assist them in rehoming the dog as they are unable to keep him.

Please give us a call if you know where he belongs, or would like to be considered for adoption! 580-596-2478

We would like to say a very big congratulations to our veterinary assistant Reanna, on her acceptance to OSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine!🎉

Today was her last day at the clinic, and while we are all so very sad to see her leave, we know she will make an outstanding veterinarian.🩺🐾

Please join us in wishing her well, and feel free to share any words of encouragement or special memories you have of her at the clinic in the comments!
