Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Archi is here to say that he, along with many of our pets, would looove to sneak some turkey, ham, stuffing or whatever is left uncovered tomorrow… so please keep all those tasty dishes out of paw’s reach!

Foods like onions and garlic can be very toxic to our furry friends and rich foods like ham can cause gastrointestinal issues like pancreatitis.

Our office will be closed Thursday and open again at 8am on Friday. If you need help after hours, please call the rotating Durango emergency on-call line (this number can be found on our voicemail message at 970-247-4701). If you think your pet has ingested something they shouldn’t have, please call the Pet Poison Hotline at 888-426-4325.

It’s Vet Tech Appreciation Week! Jill Brazell CVT is our amazing Lead Tech and has been working with the Baker’s Bridge Team for THIRTY YEARS! We love her ever-positive attitude and were so happy to celebrate her officially receiving her license last year. Jill loves playing agility, going on spontaneous road trips, mid-day iced teas and singing goofy songs at work. She’s usually leading a pack of border collies wherever she goes and does much-needed awesome work with Western Border Collie Rescue. Next time you see Jill, make sure to share your appreciation for all she does for our animals! ♥️🐾

Max and Mando would like to make a quick PSA: with our recent warm temperatures, mosquitoes are still out and about, which means that heartworm is still a risk! Make sure to give your dogs a dose of heartworm preventative for October and early November. The monthly medication retroactively treats for heartworm infection, so it’s important to give the last dose one month post their last exposure for the year. If you have questions about this or need a refill, please give us a call!

This is a well-written opinion regarding proposition 129, which is being pushed by corporate practices so that they can make more money by putting less trained and less compensated “practitioners “ in charge of the care of your pet.
