Some of our treatment plans may include a long day (or multiple long days!) at the clinic for an infusion. Nacho has been staying comfortable at what’s basically a full time job of getting an infusion, while his family keeps him entertained with toys, hand fed delectable treats, and of course a continuous stream of belly rubs. And when Nacho naps, they’re also keeping the Red Sage staff cared for with homemade jewelry and tarot card readings! We love getting to know the individuals at both ends of the leash, not just the four legged ones 💕

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the clinic,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a gulick.
The stockings were hung by the front desk with flair,
In hopes that Jess and Lindsey soon would be there.

The vet techs were nestled all snug in their scrubs,
Dreaming of doggos and cat needing tummy rubs.

While I in my lab coat, with coffee in hand,
Had just settled down to review the day's plan.

When out in the parking lot, there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the breakroom to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tripping on a leash and a half-empty trash.

The moon on the asphalt and holiday lights,
Made the clinic glow bright on this cold winter night.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.

With a jolly old driver, lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
But lo! As he landed, the reindeer looked stiff—
"Lameness exams?!" Nick asked, mid-drift.

"Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Oh, what did you do?
You’re sore from your hooves up to your pasterns, too!
To the gait analysis treadmill—give it a try!
Let’s measure your stance; don’t be shy!"

As dry leaves that before a Colorado wind fly,
The reindeer all limped with a collective sigh.
To the zebris CanidGait they grudgingly trod,
While Santa chuckled, “This place is odd!”

He brought in a sack that was lumpy and thick,
Full of acupuncture needles and some orthopedic tricks.
"Therapeutic exercises for my crew,
Shockwave therapy? We'll need that too!"

Then into the clinic St. Nicholas came,
Calling out each reindeer by their first name.
He set them on mats, for rehab and care,
And asked, “Do you have anything for my back over there?”

We worked as a team, with laughter and cheer,
Helping Santa and reindeer get ready this year.

At last, Santa rose, his cheeks all aglow,
“Red Sage,” he declared, “You’re the best, you should know!
I’ll tell all the pets from the North Pole to here,
That you’re the place for holiday cheer!

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all pets—a good night!”

We are so proud to announce that Dr. Arielle Pechette’s most recent work has officially been published! During agility performance, dogs complete a preset obstacle course. The teeter, also known as the seesaw, is the only dynamic contact obstacle. Dogs handle dynamic obstacles differently than static obstacles due to the need for increased coordination and postural control. No studies have been performed evaluating dogs’ abilities or biomechanical strategies to navigate the teeter. The goal of this study was to describe and quantify variability in teeter performance across a sample of dogs of differing body mass and breeds. (thanks to and Flapjack Elliott for the photo!)

Our hearts are full of gratitude this week; gratitude for the amazing clients who trust us with their precious 4 (or 3) legged ones. We share a strong commitment to both our patients and the families that care for them and are dedicated to creating their optimal care plans.

13 wild turkeys showed up this morning seeking out a balanced medical approach to health and wellness! They must have needed some conditioning and supplements to get ready for all the Turkey Day Trots . What do you call a turkey running? FAST FOOD!😂😂

We, like Rosie, keep wondering where the sunshine and warmth went?!

This may look like a Halloween costume, but it’s more representative of a lifestyle for this regal kitty! Make sure to stop in our lobby to show off costumes all week long - there’s nothing we love more!

- we love when we can layer therapies for patients to maximize their time in the clinic. Our ketamine infusions have a 5 hour drop off time, which we can pair with a zoledronate, IV stem cells, or a vitamin infusion if needed. A rehab tech can jump in with magic hands to give a great manual work session, EMTT, Shockwave, or laser . Our doctors can also use the time for an integrative medicine visit - acupuncture, laser, pemf, and manual work are all options! Favorite snacks, words of affirmation, and lots of attention are the icing on the cake. We have so many great tools ready to help our patients!

Dog crazy isn’t just our identity in the clinic, but our personal time too! A bunch of team members (sorry to those not pictured!) rotated through to watch a local AKC agility competition this weekend to cheer on clients and friends. We love to see happy, healthy, fit dogs showing off the hours of hard work with their owners in a dynamic group setting. Thanks to for putting on such a fun event !
