Unfortunately not every dog we take in is perfectly healthy, which requires minor to extensive veterinary visits. We have an AMAZING team at Barrington Oaks in Elk River, who we cannot thank enough for caring for our dogs. They keep costs as reasonable as possible for us, they go above and beyond in emergencies and provide top tier care, our dogs are so lucky.

We have had two parvo cases, a couple broken limbs, long term treatments for ill dogs, Lyme diseae on top of routine care like spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping and dental care.

Pictured are Teddy and Karma who amazingly recovered from Parvo thanks to the quick recognition of the signs and the amazing veterinary staff. Their treatment was $5,207.00.

🎃 Halloween Pet Safety Alert! 🐾👻

Scare up some safety for your furry friends this Halloween! 🐶🐱 Here are some spooktacular tips to keep your pets safe:

No Tricks, Only Treats: Keep candy and chocolate out of paws' reach. These can be harmful to pets.

Costume Check: If your pet dons a costume, make sure it's comfy and doesn't restrict movement or breathing.

ID, Please: Ensure your pet's ID tags and microchip info are up-to-date, just in case they decide to explore on their own.

Pumpkin Patrol: Jack-o'-lanterns are intriguing, but pets can knock them over. Use battery-operated candles or LED lights instead.

Quiet Zone: During trick-or-treating, create a quiet, safe space for your pet away from the front door.

Pet-Friendly Treats: If you want to include your pet, treat them with special pet-friendly goodies.

Watch the Decor: Keep an eye on decorations that could be tempting to chew or swallow.

Let's make sure this Halloween is a howlin' good time for our furry pals! 🐾🎃 Share your pet's costumes or safety tips with us using ! 👻🐕‍🎃
