Thanks Torvi for lending a paw during the busy holiday season! She gives a new meaning to #dogtor 😂
Thank you to everyone who joined our pet remembrance event - both in person and in spirit. It was a beautiful sharing of love, laughter, and tears. Here is a small snippet of the event including Dr Benson’s opening remarks, the ofrenda, and one of the poems read. This will be an annual event to strengthen bonds and recognize the parts of our hearts that they take with them when they go. For more tears, please listen to author @josiebalka ‘s reading of her poem or read further about tribal beliefs that the dogs we have loved, will greet and guide our canoes to the other side of the pond of transition, when it is our time to go. #petremembrance #vetmed #yourenotalone #grievingtogether
We are hosting our first annual pet memorial event here at Red Sage on this Saturday (the 9th) from 10-12. We will be building an ofrenda for the duration of the event, so if you’re stopping by please bring a picture or memento to put on display (don’t worry, these will go back home with you). We invite you to bring a dog (or cat!) tag to be affixed to our semipermanent structure in our yard. We look forward to hearing the jingles of tags in the breeze for the years to come- always reminding us of the fur friends who made our hearts whole. #petmemorial #joinus #fortcollinscolorado
Happy ‘Howlween’ to all of our amazing clients and patients. We loved seeing costumes all week long. Hope everyone stays safe, keeps the chocolate out of reach, and enjoys time with family. #vetmed #dogcostumes
It’s #restockoclock here at Red Sage! Treats are heavily utilized in acupuncture appointments, during shockwave treatments, to promote engagement in therex sessions, and sometimes just for walking in the lobby !#willworkfortreats #snacksonsnacksonsnacks #vetmed
Here are a few foundational exercises that we encourage clients to do at home! Thank you to Teri, one of our rehab technicians, and her gorgeous model Venture for demonstrating how to perform these exercises. Which are the easiest for your dog snd which do you need to work more on? 💕🏋️♀️🏋️♀️💪💪💕

Stay tuned for October’s date and make sure you bring us a dog tag in the next few weeks #vetmed #memorialmonth
We are excited to offer Penn Hip radiographs to our clients and community! With multiple team members certified, we are ready to serve northern Colorado and beyond.
PennHIP at a Glance
The PennHIP method is a novel way to assess, measure and interpret hip joint laxity. It consists of three separate radiographs: the distraction view, the compression view and the hip-extended view. The distraction view and compression view are used to obtain accurate and precise measurements of joint laxity and congruity, respectively. The hip-extended view, sometimes called the OFA view, is used to obtain supplementary information regarding the existence of osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip joint. The singular, subjectively scored, hip-extended radiograph is the conventional radiographic view used by all hip screening systems globally to evaluate the integrity of the canine hip joint. The PennHIP technique is more accurate than this current standard, and it has been shown to be a better predictor for the onset of OA. #veterinarylife #pennhip #vetmed

What does #palliativecare and #hospicecare look like at Red Sage?Red Sage is a human-animal bond centered practice and aligns a pet’s medical needs with the emotional needs of their humans. Our hospice program has a designated veterinarian, Dr. Jeret Benson DVM, CCRP, CVMA, and certified in Hospice & Palliative Care through The International Association for Hospice & Palliative Care. Additionally, Jennae Miler, Red Sage’s Administrative Director and the Hospice Program’s Creative Counsel is available to coordinate care and support client’s through case management. Pet parents will be provided with compassionate care during their time with us.
Hospice care for pets is a specialized form of veterinary care provided to pets with serious illnesses or terminal conditions. The goal of pet hospice care is to enhance the quality of life for pets in the final stages of their lives, focusing on comfort, pain management, and emotional support for both the pet and the pet owner. #vetmed
*TW for Needle* Dr Rychel explains why we may recommend a Lumbar Sacral (LS) injection of either PRP or Stem cells for a four legged patient - there’s significant clinical evidence for success and we see that anecdotally as well #regenerativemedicine #prpinjection #stemcellstherapy #workingdogs #sportdog #dogsofinstagram #vetmed
