Help us in celebrating Tiffany's 1 year anniversary with Epping Road Veterinary Hospital!

Splashing into the long weekend with some outdoor water adventures? Review these key pet swimming safety tips:

💦 Check water conditions: rule out the presence of dangerous concerns like toxic algae and extreme currents
💧Use a life jacket: even strong swimmers can become fatigued, injured or be overpowered by changes in currents
💦 Check surroundings: there are many things in the environment that can harm pets during water activities such sharp barnacles, wildlife, boat propellers, etc.
💧Provide fresh drinking water: water okay’ed for swimming is not great for pets to drink in large quantities - salt water, chlorine, etc. can cause GI upset for most pets
💦 Take breaks: most pets have a hard time hitting their own ‘off switch’. Make sure to help your pet rest to avoid overexertion
💧Avoid sticks: It’s tempting to toss sticks for a game of water fetch, but we don’t recommend it. Sticks can cause serious harm to your pet’s mouth and GI tract. Instead, pack some floating water toys!
💦 Clean ears: Moisture trapped in the ear canal can lead to painful ear infections, so it’s important to clean your pet’s ears after every swimming adventure. Be sure to use a vet recommended ear flush!
💧Give a bath: certain swimming environments such as chlorine pools can irritate your pet’s skin, so it’s always a good idea to give a quick bath after swimming

Say hello to Rae 👋 This photo was taken during a joyful moment right after her mom and our behavior technician worked together with Rae to accomplish a fully cooperative blood draw for her annual preventative blood screen 🙌

Curious what ‘fully cooperative’ means? It means that Rae had a say in what was occurring and she actually chose, voluntarily, to “opt in” to each step of the procedure! Pretty cool, huh?

So how is that possible? 👉 Through cooperative care training techniques, Rae has learned that she is able to communicate with us during her veterinary care by using a chin-rest behavior: when her chin is down, that’s our sign to proceed and when she lifts her chin up, that’s our sign to pause. Her willingness to participate is rewarded and her requests for breaks are honored. Opportunities for decompression and play are built in to the process, to keep the overall experience positive.

Providing Rae with this level of agency over her own veterinary care has created predictability within an unpredictable environment, greatly reducing the fear, anxiety and stress she once felt in the veterinary setting. Not that long ago Rae was so worried during veterinary visits she needed the support of medication just to get in the door. Now, her veterinary visits are fun opportunities for her to show off her communication skills, all while strengthening the bond between her and the humans in her life!

We’re sending a big congratulations to Rae and her mom who have both worked so hard towards this goal 🥳👏

Curious how you can begin exploring cooperative care training with your pet? Let us know! We’d be happy to provide you with resources to help you bring cooperative care into your pet’s life!

Not us! Schedule your pet a fear free visit with us and experience the difference of low stress veterinary care ♥️🩺

Last month we mentioned scratch boards - a low stress alternative to traditional nail trims - and today you get to see one in action! In this video, one of our technicians is introducing her dog Charlie to his new scratch board. He picked it up in just minutes! So how does it work? The top of the board is covered in a sandpaper-like material that mimics the concept of a nail file, so each time Charlie scratches at the board, he's filing his own nails! And each time he scratches, the scratching motion is reinforced (rewarded) by opening the treat compartment for him to gobble up the hidden treats, motivating him to scratch again and again. If your pet is uncomfortable having their nails trimmed with traditional nail clippers, try an at-home scratch board!

These photos were taken during Boomer's hospital stay with us for his neuter surgery. We prioritize a low stress experience for all of our surgery patients, and for this handsome fella that meant replacing kennel time with office time. He felt more comfortable in an open space, so that's what we provided him with! This is just one example of the many accommodations we make for our surgery patients to keep them as comfortable as possible. By remaining flexible in our approach to care, we're able to meet the individualized needs of each of our patients 🥰 If your pet has a surgery coming up at our office, you can rest assured they will be in great hands!

Happy visits are a great way to help your dog feel more comfortable in a veterinary setting! Happy visits are quick, just-for-fun trips to the vet office during which your dog gets to sniff around, eat treats, get love and then go home! This builds a positive association with the vet office and helps to reduce fear during future healthcare visits. Jax has been doing happy visits with us since he was a tiny puppy and as you can see, now as an adult he struts right through our doors, comfortable and excited to greet our team! Call our office to learn more about happy visits and to schedule one for your dog!

Sweet Daisy was so patient for her nail dremeling!

When it comes to parasite prevention... ...WE ALWAYS RECOMMEND GIVING IT 😋 Skipping parasite prevention is a big no no! Any lapse in prevention, even by just a couple weeks, leaves your pet vulnerable to deadly diseases transmitted by parasites like ticks and mosquitos. These pesky parasites are especially active during these warm summer months so it's that time of year to make extra certain your pet is current on their flea, tick and heartworm prevention! There are lots of different variations of parasite prevention including oral, topical and injectable. Call our office to discuss what parasite prevention is right for your pet! If you are an active, current client of ours, you can refill your pet's parasite prevention through our online pharmacy: https://eppingroadvet.covetruspharmacy.com/
