Some things naturally go together, like ketchup and fries, sprinkles on ice cream, bread and butter, peanut butter and jelly, coffee and cream, and so on. But things don’t work as smoothly in the animal kingdom. When we think of animals in the wild, like in a jungle or the forest, there is a clear...

Yesterday we had two wonderful Golden Retrievers, ages 6 and 2, come in for elective surgical procedures. Both dogs had a history of eating a well-known and popular grain free diet for several years. In one dog, an arrhythmia (irregular heart beat) was detected so an x-ray of his chest was taken. His heart was enlarged, so an echocardiogram was scheduled for that afternoon. An x-ray was also taken of the other dog's chest as a precaution, and his heart was also enlarged. He was able to get an echocardiogram same day, as well.

The reports on both dogs just came back, and both of these gorgeous, otherwise perfectly healthy dogs have Dilated Cardiomyopathy. The cardiologist suspects that in both cases it is related to their diet. Thankfully, this condition was caught early, and when fed a traditional diet, their condition should hopefully reverse. Their cases are being reported to the FDA, along with the thousands of others from across the country.

There is no evidence to support feeding grain-free. Most pet allergies are related to environment (pollens, etc) or protein sources. Grain allergies account for a tiny fraction of all food allergies in dogs. Unfortunately, many dogs are becoming very ill or even dying from eating so-called "BEG" diets (boutique, exotic, grain-free), and the terrible thing is nutritionally mediated dilated cardiomyopathy is 100% preventable. There have been zero reported cases of NMDCM in dogs eating foods that meet WSAVA guidelines, currently made by Purina, Hill's, Iams/Eukanuba, or Royal Canin. We strongly suggest if you are feeding a "BEG" diet that you change your dog over to one of the brands listed above. If you have any questions specifically related to your pet, please call us.

We are so hopeful we caught this disease in time for our two beautiful patients to reverse their disease. Their very caring and dedicated owners have already changed their diet to one that meets WSAVA criteria. The articles below will help explain this disease, WSAVA guidelines, and why grain-free was more marketing than science.

This is Benji, who we did stem cell treatment on last fall October 19th for a badly torn cruciate in the right knee. She was mostly 3 legged at that time. Now she is fully healed and no other surgery was required.

Amanda and Vanessa leaving the arena at Rodeo Of The Ozarks Grand entry. They both did a great job and hung with me for every performance including slack. Long week but at least no wrecks and animals hurt or sick.

We will be closing at noon Tuesday, July 3 and closed July 4 for Independence Day! If you have dogs that suffer from fireworks anxiety, come see us today, we can help! Keep you're animals safe and comfortable this 4th of July!

Zues Tuesday evening post surgery

And here is this morning, just as a follow up. Still improving. We jsut have to make it through the 8 weeks of recovery and rehabilitation. This 8 weeks is what it takes for everything internally to heal and become solid enough for them to go back to full activity. We will shortly start strengthening exercises to help this out. Normally at about 2 weeks post-op, but Zues is doing to well and we may have to start earlier.

This is Zues on Saturday after a Thursday surgery of reconstructing his knee. He had cranial cruciate repair and a medial meniscal release, also the knee joint was totally cleaned out from the damage of the tear. Even I cannot believe he is doing this well. Now if we can keep him from doing too, much and let things heal properly
