Kataraโs Journey ๐ฆฎ๐พ
โDogustโ 1st is the universal birthday for shelter dogs everywhere.ย
Katara is a 2 year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix who was rescued from the shelter when she was 9 months old. When her owner rescued her, she was underweight at 50 pounds, untrained, unsocialized, and scared. With lots of love, training, socialization, and a veterinarian recommended diet/lifestyle, she is now a wild and outgoing 70 pound sweetheart who gets to frolic in the sea, play with other dogs, and live her best life.ย โค๏ธ
Today is the day to honor every shelter dogโs birthday and celebrate our pups that we rescued and adopted!
Thinking of rescuing a dog from your local shelter? The Drake Center for Veterinary Care is here to help you complete a thorough wellness exam to make sure your new furry friend is happy and healthy! This is #TheDrakeDifference

โ๏ธ While summer means fun in the sun, remember your pets are much more sensitive to the heat and humidity than humans are. ๐ถ Dr. Drake is sharing the best ways to protect your pet from heat exhaustion. ๐พ If your pet experiences symptoms like difficulty breathing, excessive panting, fever, change in gum color, lack of urine or dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, lethargy, etc. call us at 760-753-9393 right away and come in with your dog ASAP. ๐
๐บ In honor of #NationalMicrochippingMonth ๐พ here's a friendly reminder from Dr. Drake that your pet can get microchipped during any type of visit or procedure!
๐ถ Microchips are a pet's permanent ID, lasting up to 25 years.
#๏ธโฃ Each microchip has a unique number linked to your contact info, significantly increasing the chances of reuniting lost pets with their owners.
๐ Microchips are injected under the skin without requiring anesthesia or surgery, similar to a routine injection.
๐ฉ๐ผโ๐ป Remember, afterwards you must register your petโs microchip online and always keep your contact information updated.
๐ธ It's #KittenSeason after all, so if you adopt a new furry friend, make sure to book an appointment for your sweet new baby by clicking the first link in our bio.
โ๏ธ You can also call 760-753-9393 to request to get your pet microchipped.

๐ธ This adorable catโs name is Harvey, and he is our Kennel Care Provider, Nancieโs, fur baby. Look at Nancie brushing Harveyโs teeth for #petdentalhealthmonth! ๐ชฅ What a great cat paw-rent she is! #nationalcathealthmonth ๐
โP.S. Are you wondering what is involved in cat dental care?
๐ฆท Ideally, we would have you come in once a year so we can assess your catโs mouth. Certain cats get this very specific dental disease called neck lesions, and those are very painful. We donโt really know the cause of them, and we donโt know why some cats get them and some cats donโt. So, itโs best that we see your cats at least once a year.
๐ฑ At the appointment, we will assess them and decide whether or not they need dentistry. If the cat is younger and they have a healthy mouth, weโll have you start brushing their teeth. Itโs amazing how many cats can be trained very well to have their teeth brushed once a day. You can get it done in just a couple minutes, and it can make a huge difference in the health of your catโs mouth.
