Starting off Dental Awareness Month with a routine dental scaling and polishing on Roman, owned by Tyrell one of our surgical technicians. Dental hygiene is very important for our companion animals. Preventative oral hygiene in companion animals is often overlooked, but is very important to their overall health. Bacteria from tartar buildup can cause bone loss in the jaw, which holds teeth in place. This bacteria can also enter the blood stream which overtime can affect the heart and kidneys. Routine dental cleanings help keep tartar buildup minimal, but also allows your veterinarian to look at the state of your pets mouth more thoroughly while they are under anesthesia. Dental radiographs can show disease that hides below the gum line, which can worsen over time, leading to pain, bone loss which then leads to dental extractions, crown amputations, etc. Routine annual cleanings and brushing your pets teeth once daily or even a few times a week is a great way at preventing some forms of dental diseases such as Periodontitis, Gingivitis, Gum Erosion, Bone Loss from tartar accumulation, etc. If you have any questions about oral health in companion animals, please feel free to contact us or visit https://vohc.org for some helpful tips and approved dental products.

Joey and Chloe wanted to show everyone their cooperative care skills during their nail trims. Nail trimming doesn’t have to be a scary thing for our companion animals. Getting your dog or cat use to their paws being touched from a young age helps them understand that something routine like a nail trim shouldn’t cause them any worry or fear. Please remember to start slow and gradually, always keeping the experience positive for them by offering tasty treats. Desensitization, following the natural angle of the nail and visualizing the quick (blood vessel that runs through each nail) are some key points to consider if you want to attempt trimming your pets nails yourself.

We are happy to report that Vista has been selected as one of Santa's (E.L.V.E.S.) Emergency Landing and Veterinary Expert System support team. Should Santa encounter any issues when he gets to Cape Cod, we are on call and on standby to assist him and his reindeer.

Officials from the North Pole have confirmed that Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and the rest of Santa’s reindeer have been approved for their Christmas Eve flight following a health checkup from Santa’s veterinarian Dr. Faeh!

We wish you all a happy and healthy holiday!

Mr. Digby wants to let our clients know that we are open today and tomorrow 8-5pm but will be closed for the rest of the week for Thanksgiving. We are back in office Monday, December 2nd 8-5pm. If you experience a medical emergency with your pet while we are not here, please contact Cape Cod Vet Specialists, VCA South Weymouth or VUCC in Plymouth for urgent care.

Thanksgiving is a time to gather with friends and family, catching up while eating delicious food. A lot of these foods are not safe for our furry friends. Please avoid feeding your pet meat with seasoning, turkey skin, turkey bones, gravy, stuffing, fatty foods, etc. This time of year we see a lot of pancreatitis in dogs, which can come from eating fatty foods. Please be careful and make sure your pets do not have access to these food items/the trash. Hope everyone has a safe Thanksgiving holiday. 🤎 🦃 🐶 🐈
