DENTAL SPECIAL! DECEMBER 2024-FEBRUARY 2025

Treat your furry family member to clean teeth and fresh breath this holiday season! According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, periodontal disease is the most common dental condition in dogs and cats. What better gift than preventative oral care with shiny teeth and preventative health? Throughout December 2024 -February 2025, Felton Veterinary Hospital will be offering a dental special to start the year off right and make your pet's oral health more possible!

Receive $225 off the entire dental procedure

Our dental special includes preoperative blood work, anesthesia, intravenous fluids, teeth cleaning and polishing, an injection of antibiotics if extractions are required, and optional laser therapy.

The formation of plaque on teeth leads not only to calculus or tartar buildup but also to gingivitis. And if gingivitis is left untreated, it will progress into more advanced periodontal disease. Studies have shown an increased risk for kidney, heart, liver, and pulmonary disease all stemming from late-stage dental disease and poor oral care.

Dental issues can cause the following problems:

Bad breath

Broken or loose teeth

Abnormal chewing, drooling or dropping food from the mouth

Reduced appetite or refusal to eat
pain in or around the mouth

Bleeding from the mouth

Swelling in the areas surrounding the mouth

Some pets become irritable when they have dental problems, and any changes in your pet's behavior should prompt a visit.

Dental disease can be prevented with proper oral care! We are here to help! Please call us with any questions and to schedule your pet's dental cleaning.

With warm regards,

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM THE CREW AT FELTON VETERINARY HOSPITAL AND FROM BANJO THE MIGHTY!

08/21/2024

We just copied this post from another veterinarian.
This post is not meant to be argumentative or in any way scolding. We completely understand the need to save money and the draw of convenience. We are simply trying to shed a little light on the local veterinarian’s (the clinics that are NOT yet owned by a huge corporation) perspective.
A good portion of our day involves processing Chewy, PetMed and other online requests for medications we have on our shelves.
This is just a reminder because we know how easy it is to hit that “Place Order” button: whenever you can, shop local and support small businesses.
We love to see your smiling faces!
(And yes, we have an online pharmacy accessible from our website -but we’d rather see your smiling faces!)💙🐈‍⬛🐾🐕🐾🦜🐾🐇🐾💙

From our CSR, Antonia in response to David Attenborough’s post-Thank you for your words of wisdom Antonia. There are so many older dogs in need of loving homes!
Thinking of bringing a dog into your life? Do your homework and know your dog breeds. If you can't be active with a young active breed ; think about rescue of a senior. Senior dogs still have life and love in them. With the proper care, they can have as much 'play' in them as you need.

David Attenborough’s post is so relevant. Our CSR Antonia has the perfect comment to this post…see comment in separate post!

Everyone who is thinking of getting dogs should read this because you need to understand this reality:

***I am a 21st century dog.***
-I'm a Malinois.
Overskilled among dogs, I excel in all disciplines and I'm always ready to work: I NEED to work.
But nowadays I get asked to chill on the couch all day everyday.

-I am an Akita Inu.
My ancestors were selected for fighting bears.
Today I get asked to be tolerant and I get scolded for my reactivity when another approaches me.

-I am a Beagle.
When I chase my prey, I raise my voice so the hunters could follow.
Today they put an electric collar on me to shut up, and you make me come back to you - no running - with a snap of your fingers.

-I am a Yorkshire Terrier.
I was a terrifying rat hunter in English mines.
Today they think I can't use my legs and they always hold me in their arms.

-I'm a Labrador Retriever.
My vision of happiness is a dive into a pond to bring back the duck he shot to my master.
Today you forget I'm a walking, running, swimming dog; as a result I'm fat, made to stay indoors, and to babysit.

-I am a Jack Russell.
I can take on a fox, a mean badger, and a rat bigger than me in his den.
Today I get scolded for my character and high energy, and forced to turn into a quiet living room dog.

-I am a Siberian Husky.
Experienced the great, wide open spaces of Northern Europe, where I could drag sleds for long distances at impressive speeds.
Today I only have the walls of the house or small garden as a horizon, and the holes I dig in the ground just to release energy and frustration, trying to stay sane.

-I am a border collie
I was made to work hours a day in partnershipwith my master, and I am an unmistakable artist of working with the herd.
Today they are mad at me because, for lack of sheep, I try to check bikes, cars, children in the house and everything in motion.

I am ...
I am a 21st century dog.
I'm pretty, I'm alert, I'm obedient, I stay in a bag...but I'm also an individual who, from centuries of training, needs to express my instincts, and I am *not* suited for the sedentary life you'd want me to lead.
Spending eight hours a day alone in the house or in the garden - with no work and no one to play or run with, seeing you for a short time in the evening when you get home, and only getting a small toilet walk will make me deeply unhappy.
I'll express it by barking all day, turning your yard into a minefield, doing my needs indoors, being unmanageable the rare times I'll find myself outside, and sometimes spending my days sunk, sad, lonely, and depressed, on my pillow.
You may think that I should be happy to be able to enjoy all this comfort while you go to work, but actually I’ll be exhausted and frustrated, because this is absolutely NOT what I'm meant to do, or what I need to be doing.
If you love me, if you've always dreamed of me, if my beautiful blue eyes or my athletic look make you want me, but you can't give me a real dog's life, a life that's really worth living according to my breed, and if you can't offer me the job that my genes are asking, DO NOT buy or adopt me!
If you like the way I look but aren't willing to accept my temperament, gifts, and traits derived from long genetic selection, and you think you can change them with only your good will, then DO NOT BUY OR ADOPT ME.
I’m a dog from the 21st century, yes, but deep inside me, the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who pulled sleds, the one who guided and protected a herd still lives within.
So think **very** carefully before you choose your dog. And think about getting two, rather than one, so I won't be so very lonely waiting for you all day. Eight or ten hours is just a workday to you, but it's an eternity for me to be alone.
