We hope this message finds you well. We have some important news to share with you. At the end of June, we will be saying goodbye to two beloved members of our veterinary team. Dr. Laura Powell will be leaving us to spending more time with her family and new professional adventures, and Dr. Ariana Dadario is excited to start new professional adventures. We are incredibly grateful for their dedication and the wonderful care they have provided to our furry friends.

While we will miss Dr. Powell and Dr. Dadario, we want to assure you that our clinic remains fully committed to providing the excellent care you’ve come to expect. Our experienced team of four veterinarians- Dr. Sandra Kessen, Dr. Jason Kessen, Dr. Anthony Fernandez, and Dr. Alex Lauf- will continue to be here for you and your pets.

As we continue to celebrate our staff for , we did a “Vet Olympics” challenge today over lunch! The relay race included the receptionists looking up an account & creating a fake appointment before passing the “baton” (syringe) to the vet techs and assistants who had to place an IV catheter in a model, count a certain # of “pills” (M&Ms), wrap surgical packs, put together an E-Collar, and then ring a bell! It was such a fun time! Scroll to see the winners at the end!!

Fear Free Nail Trims

Fear Free Fridays - Nail Trim Style! Here are some Fear-Free Techniques that you can try when trimming your pet’s nails: 1) Establish a “touch gradient” by touching less sensitive areas first, then maintaining contact before reaching the more sensitive areas. 🖐🏼 In this video, Dr. Laura touches the shoulder/chest then slides her hand down to the paw. Many dogs are very sensitive about their paws, so establishing a #touchgradient before touching that sensi-paw is helpful! 😉 2) Counter-condition with your pet’s favorite treat! 🧀 #counterconditioning means changing your pet’s emotional response to a “scary” stimulus by building positive associations. You can use cheese, peanut butter treats, toys, praise, or anything else that your pet enjoys as your positive reinforcer. 3) Giving breaks when needed! 😮‍💨 If your pet is struggling, or they seem irritated, give them a break! If you force something that is too unpleasant for your pet, that will only increase their Fear, Anxiety, and Stress for future attempts. It is OK if you only trim 1-2 nails at a time. 4) Adjusting techniques. If your pet is extra paw-sensitive, you can try leaving their paws on the ground, and/or you can try to not even touch their paws at all! 🐾 We admit, this isn’t ideal to get the best angles and views of the quick, but sometimes it worth doing if your pet is showing higher levels of Fear, Anxiety, and Stress. 😵‍💫 5) This dog has generalized anxiety and dislikes having his paws touched. He gets two daily anti-anxiety medications + was on an additional medication for this visit. If low-stress techniques alone are not enough for your pet, there are medications that can help! 💊 We will touch more on this in future posts, and you are also welcome to call us if you have more questions.
