Pet Insurance: What Your Clients Need to Know

In the United States, a little less than half of pet owners or 44.4% have insurance.

We educate our clients about their pet’s health everyday. Why wouldn’t we also become experts in the different kind of insurance knowing that benefits everyone? This article is a great primer on the key aspects that pet owners need to know.

Cats, children with ASD both benefit from friendship, study shows

We all know the power of a relationship with a pet. We see if everyday in the emotionally charged situations that happen in our practices. Loving a pet enough to provide the ultimate in care is a pretty good indicator. So it is no surprise that this level of powerful emotion can break through the unknown barriers of the human brain, even with those people on the autism spectrum. Although this article is about children and cats, it could well be people in comas with dogs, etc. Animals can be an incredible remedy, yet to be fully tapped.

Learning to Leverage Your Team

It’s true that most of us went into the veterinary industry because of our love for animals. But we are also running businesses, and let’s face facts, like any business a practice can be tough. One of the best ways to control the issues that we face everyday is to properly allocate the team based on the specifics of the practice… and every practice is different. This article from TVB has some great tips that you can apply to your practice, of course with the individual nuances of your particular practice in mind.

AVMA ALERT:
EPA confirms registration, safety of Seresto collar

Agency asks Elanco to change labeling, reporting, and outreach efforts to maintain approval

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced July 13 that the Seresto flea and tick collar will remain on the market after completing a multi-year review of the pet collar. Comprehensive data from the review showed that these collars continue to meet EPA's standards under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) while providing flea and tick prevention for dogs and cats, and lice control for dogs.

After a multi-year review of the Seresto flea and tick collar, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has limited its current approval of Seresto collar registrations to five years. The company must implement new registration requirements by the next printing of Seresto pet collar labels, which must happen by July 2024.

At the same time, the EPA is requiring Elanco Animal Health, maker of the Seresto collar, to implement additional measures that will alert veterinarians and consumers of potential risks and provide more information about how to prevent and report adverse reactions from Seresto collars. The new measures will also improve the quality of adverse incident data reported to EPA to aid in the continued review of this product, according to the agency.

FDA ALERT: Do Not Feed Certain Lots of Darwin’s Natural Pet Products for Dogs & Cats Due to Salmonella

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is cautioning pet owners not to feed their pets certain lots of Darwin’s Natural Pet Products raw cat and dog food, made by Arrow Reliance Inc., after FDA samples from the lots listed below tested positive for Salmonella.

Darwin’s Natural Pet Products Natural Selections Chicken Recipe with Organic Vegetables for Dogs, Lot 9774, manufactured on Jun 13, 2023.

Darwin’s Natural Pet Products Natural Selections Chicken Recipe for Cats, Lot 9795, manufactured on Jun 28, 2023.

Darwin’s Natural Pet Products Natural Selections Chicken Recipe for Cats, Lot 9830, manufactured on Jul 19, 2023.

The products are in white and clear plastic packages. The dog food has blue labeling, and the cat food has blue and green labeling. Each package weighs two pounds and consists of four separate units. The lot codes are printed on the front of the lower left unit of the package.

If you have these lots of pet food from Darwin’s Natural Pet Products, or you can’t be sure of the lot code of the products you have, throw them away. Do not feed them to your pets.
The FDA recommended that the manufacturer voluntarily recall these products and notify the public, but the company has not yet done so.

The FDA is issuing this advisory because these lots of Darwin’s Natural Pet Products cat and dog food pose a significant risk to human and animal health.

Salmonella can affect both human and animal health. People with symptoms of Salmonella infection should consult their health care providers. Consult a veterinarian if your pet has symptoms of Salmonella infection.

According to the CDC, "Rabies is still present in many parts of the United States where it is often found in wildlife. However, roughly a quarter of reported rabies cases in the United States are a result from dog bites received during international travel. The best way to protect you, your family, and your pets is to keep dogs and cats up-to-date on their rabies vaccinations."

Raise your hand if you love chocolate! 🙋‍♀️

Yeah, we do too! But remember, chocolate is toxic to both dogs and cats so be sure to keep it out of reach of your furry friends. This sweet treat is toxic to them because of a chemical found in chocolate called theobromine. The most common victims of chocolate poisoning are dogs. The toxic dose for cats is even lower which means they are at even greater risk if chocolate is consumed but are less likely to eat it in the first place because they are unable to taste sweetness.

If your pet has consumed chocolate, bring them to the emergency room right away (bring the product's packaging too)! We are open 24/7/365.

We will never forget! A special thank you to every single person and dog who helped during the rescue efforts of this tragic moment in our history. And a special shoutout to our very own Dr. Kramer for his voluntary service 💙 #911
