Even though it might not be fishing season for some anymore, the tackle might still be out and about.

We saw this kitty earlier this week with a hook in his paw. The owners heard it scrambling around in very early morning hours trying to get the hook out of its paw. They had not realized a hook had been left out somewhere.

Make sure to keep all fishing gear put away out of reach from your pets! Fish hooks can quickly get swallowed or embedded in their skin, lips, legs, and paws. We typically see this in more in dogs than cats with the hook in their mouth. If this happens to your pet, call your veterinarian immediately. Do NOT try to remove yourself.

These pictures were shared with owner’s permission. 😁

Question of the week:
How do I confirm that my dog is the father of a litter?

We had an owner ask if it was possible to test the dad of the litter since the colors were not what they expected. If you are not with them 100% of time when outdoors or if you have multiple intact males in the household, then there is a possibility of exposure to other males.

There is a test that can be sent to our reference laboratory similar to what is done with people as well! 😁 This test can be ran on cats, dogs, horses, and cattle! Samples are retrieved from both parents and the offspring. For dogs and cats the test consists of a cheek swab. Hair follicles are used for samples in horses and cattle just like they do in people.

Question Of The Week!!

This week we had another suggestion in our box: Give me big discounts!

While we do not give individuals discounts, we do have certain months that have specials!

For the entire month of November we are discounting all spays and neuters by 15%!!

Spaying and neutering your pet is strongly recommended not only to avoid unwanted litters, but also bad habits such as aggression, marking, and roaming. By spaying and neutering your pet at the appropriate age of 5-6 months old it can drastically reduce the risks of certain cancers and infectious diseases!

Call 573-624-2140 to get your pet on the schedule ASAP! Spaces will fill up quickly!

We also have these other discount months!:

February: Dental Month - 15% off dental cleanings
March: Barnyard Special - 15% off 3 or more spays/neuters
June: Tick Awareness - Upgrade a heartworm test to a 4DX test for only $5 more! 4DX tests for tick borne illnesses as well
July: Microchip Discount - $10 off microchipping
August: Heartworm Awareness - $5 off heartworm testing

Typically we have a question of the week, but this week we found a suggestion in the box instead:

“You should let your regular clients make a charge account”

Unfortunately, due to being a small business, we do not have the funds to allow people to charge their bills. We do offer alternative ways to pay such as Care Credit. If approved, it is a great way to be able to make payments through a third party! You can apply online at https://www.carecredit.com/

Pet insurance can help offset the cost of veterinary care for your pet, and can provide a number of benefits. The bill is still due up front at your vet, but will be reimbursed depending on the coverage of your plan. There are many different companies that offer pet insurance. One option is Pets Best. Check it out at https://www.petsbest.com/

Due to short staffing, we have made the difficult decision to reduce our weekend hours. While we intend to go back to being open every Saturday as soon as we are able, at this time we will only be open the first and third Saturdays of each month. All other office hours will remain unchanged.

Our office will continue to be open Monday thru Friday from 8-5. Our weekend hours will be the first and third Saturday of each month from 8-12.

We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.

Big news, big news!!

We now have boarding available! We are using the kennels we have in our old building (located right here on the same property as the new clinic) and they are ready to house your fur kids while you’re away! While we are remodeling the old building, we are limited on space until the remodel is complete. Make sure to book your slots early!!!

All boarders must be current on vaccines. 😁

There is not a groomer present as of yet, but we do offer baths, nail trims, and a**l gland expressions!

In order to ensure your furry friend has a reservation please call 573- 624-2140. 😎

Question of the week!!
“Why does my dog eat grass a lot?”

In most cases, this is actually perfectly normal! Studies have even shown that many wolves will graze from time to time! Our canine friends are not obligate carnivores like our cats. That said, if your cat starts eating and/or vomiting grass, please call your veterinarian! There are circumstances where eating grass can be an indicator of other problems, but not usually serious. Some examples include stress or a diet low in fiber. Check out this article from VCA for more information.😁

Don’t forget to pick up your fall leashes and collars!! 🍁

10/14/2024

Question of the week!!

How often should I bathe my cats?

Whereas our veterinarian doesn’t bathe her cats, some breeds require more bathing than others. There can be certain medical conditions that necessitate baths in certain shampoos. Most veterinary recommended shampoos are labeled that they can be used weekly, but on average bathing can be done about once a month unless having problems.
Human shampoos like baby shampoo and flea/tick shampoos should be avoided to stay clear of harsh chemicals that can irritate their skin.
If you are looking to bathe your furry feline, consider speaking to your veterinarian before beginning a routine!

We would love to answer your questions!!

Our first question is “Why don’t you make home visits?”

The answer is: We do! For an additional fee we can certainly come to you! 😁 There are limitations for how far we can travel. Scheduling in advance is required for any house call.

Tails is posing to get all the love! He is still looking for his forever home! He is a little shy when new people meet him but would be such a fun addition to any home! He is still young enough that he could be added to a home with other cats or cat friendly dogs! His foster mom says he is the most playful kitten she’s ever met ❤️. Check the comments for a cute video of him playing in the new candy corn house that his foster mom just got out 😁. If you are interested in adopting please contact us at 573-624-2140 during the hours of Monday through Friday 8am-5pm or Saturday 8am-12pm. Remember even a share can help us find this guy a home!

Tails is still looking for his furrever home! He may be nervous to meet a new fur family but is currently in foster with two adult cats and four dogs!!! They are all getting along very well! He is at a perfect age to fit into an already existing fur family 😁. He is approximately 4 months old and very playful! He wants love on his terms, will let you hold him but when he wants it. Other than needing to keep his weight maintained by strict twice daily measured feeding, his injuries will cause very few lifetime issues! He’s a happy go lucky guy with nothing but a pawsitive outlook on his life thanks to donations and the Dexter Animal Shelter bringing him in and letting us fix him up!!

We hope to see you all at our open house this Saturday, August 3rd at 12pm!!! 🎉

Tails is such a happy go lucky guy! He has really enjoyed his time this weekend being in a foster home. He used the litter box like a champ and did well cautiously meeting a dog at his foster home. Hasn’t met the cats quite yet. Now that his skin has almost healed we addressed a hip that was out today. We are hoping this is the end of major surgeries for this sweet little guy! Help us get this sweet boy to his furrever home! He will have an adoption fee of $150 payable to the Dexter animal shelter account and vet references will be required and checked. The adoption fee will cover his future neuter costs and his vaccines are also covered through the shelter!

It’s here!!! It’s here!!!! It’s finally here!!! We hope you are as excited as we are. The move is in sight! Our new building (on the same property and even same driveway!) is ready for us to move in! We plan to get into our new building and want you to be a part of it. Come out and join us August 3rd from 12-3 p.m. for a ribbon cutting and open house! Our staff will happily give tours of the new facility at this time. We’d love to celebrate this occasion with you! Shout out to Pilot Solutions for helping us get here and to Boulder for building us this fantastic new clinic!

How have we not gotten any donations for this poor guy?!?! We have now named him Tails and he is becoming so very sweet!! Not only does this sweet boy need care several times a day, but he will need surgery in a couple of weeks to help him heal. We will also be needing to find him a perfect home when he is ready to go! Any and all donations are greatly appreciated!! All donations will be made to the Dexter Animal Shelter. If we are able to raise any in excess of his medical needs, it will go toward the Shelters dwindling medical funds.

We have decided it is time to start taking applications for Shiloh’s adoption. As she is still on the mend, we plan to be picky as to where she goes. Vet references will be required along with an adoption fee that will be paid to the Dexter Animal Shelter. While there is still a good chance she will make a full recovery, she is still and may always be a bit of a wobbler. Because of her condition, we do not plan to home with rough and tumble bigger dogs and younger children who may be too rough with her. She is working on potty training and doing well, but we can’t say she is 100% yet. She does ask to go outside and it has been a few days with no accidents. If interested in adopting Shiloh, please contact Dexter Veterinary Clinic at 573-624-2140 Monday through Friday 8am-5pm or Saturday 8am-12pm.
