Hey everyone, just wanted to address a rumor going around. Dr. Kleinfeld is not retiring, but she will be cutting back on her workload. We will still be serving our current clients, however, we won't be taking on any new patients except for end-of-life services. Hope you all had a great holiday!

11/21/2023

Uh-oh! Sorry this is right before the holidays but there is a new respiratory illness spreading through dogs that we currently do not have a vaccine or even a good treatment protocol for. There has been a high vitality rate and Dr. Kleinfeld recommends keeping your pups at home and away from other dogs as much as humanly possible.

From New Hampshire to Oregon, researchers are trying to figure out what’s causing an infectious respiratory disease among dogs that has turned deadly in rare cases.

Dr. Kleinfeld has her pets staying cool in this heat. Please make sure the dogs are inside with A/C and lots of fresh cool water. 🙂

FYI!!

Just a heads up that the spring allergies are right around the corner. With the temperatures rising, the pollen count is also going up, so now is the time to stock up on the allergy medicine that you need!! Please remember if you get an over the counter medication that it does not contain pseudoephedrine as this is deadly to your pet. You would find this in products such as Allegra-D, Claritin-D or Zyrtec-D. Please always contact your veterinarian before giving your furry friend any medication.

We hope you have a very safe and Happy Easter!

REMINDER!!

Please keep pets away from Easter Lily’s. They are very poisonous. Please tell your friends also. We don’t want to lose another patient like we did last year. If they ingest them then there is nothing we can do to help them. We can’t stress enough to please keep them away from pets. We hope that everyone has a nice Easter and enjoy your day. ❤️

There has been a new addition to the Home Veterinary Services team. Some of you may know me but for those of you who don’t my name is Kerri and I have been with Dr. Kleinfeld for almost a year. I have two awesome kitties and an 18 month old boy named Carter who is my world. For those of you that I have met so far it was a pleasure and for those who I haven’t met yet, I hope to meet you in the future and formally intruduce myself.

Although we do not treat birds, we know a lot of people like to put out bird feeders and a lot of our clients have backyard chickens. This alert is of great importance.

With summer weather finally here we would like everyone to take extra special care of their pups. The heat and humidity play a major role in their health especially as they age. Cats can also be effected by it too so make sure to keep them comfortable as well. We hope you all have a happy and safe weekend!
