Below are a few examples of vegetables that are safe for dogs to consume. Keep in mind that you should avoid butter, oil and other flavorings when offering these to your dogs! Remove stems and skin where necessary, and never feed your dog corn straight from the cob! Ingesting corn cobs can lead to a GI obstruction. Always remove the corn kernels prior to offering it to your dog.

❄️ It's a common misconception that animals can tolerate the colder weather better than their human counterparts. And while that is true to some extent, cold weather can still have a negative impact on our pets! If they have short hair, are young or old, or have underlying health issues, they are more susceptible to weather-related illnesses. While we dream of warmer weather, keep your pets cozy this winter by snuggling up under the blankets and following these winter safety tips! ❄️

This sweet angel is “Petunia” 🥹
Petunia is a Western Tuscany Hermann’s Tortoise and she is about 2 1/2 years old. There are many different variants of Hermann’s tortoises, but here are some general facts about Hermann’s Tortoises that you may not have known:
❣️These tortoises can live anywhere between 60-90 years, so think about this when you’re considering a tortoise as a pet.
❣️They require specific housing, lighting and temperature regulations as well as plenty of room to explore.
❣️A Hermann’s tortoise can grow 7-11 inches in length and weigh 6-9 pounds.
❣️They are mostly herbivores and enjoy leafy snacks, vegetables and dandelions.
❣️Tortoise can learn to recognize their owners by scent and sight and some have even learned their name.

Tortoises can make a great pet for someone who’s up for a long-term commitment for a great companion, but it isn’t for everyone. Although they are cute, these adorable creatures require special care, diets and housing as well as special vet care to ensure a happy, healthy life.

Did you know there are several pet friendly stores around the Fort Wayne area to which you can bring a well-mannered, leashed dog? Aside from the obvious pet stores, you can take your dog to some of the home improvement stores like Lowes and Home Depot and farm stores like Rural King and Tractor Supply. Daisy here loves visiting the Vessel Refillery in Leo Crossing as well as Hobby Lobby, Joann Fabric, and Half Price Books. Below is a list we've started of businesses that are pet friendly. Do you know of another we are missing? Comment on this post to let us all know!
The Vessel Refillery
Home depot
Lowes
Rural King
Tractor Supply
Hobby Lobby
Joann Fabric
Michaels
Half Price Books
Clothes Mentor
Barnes and Noble on Thomas Rd
Maurice's on Thomas Rd
Maurice's in Angola
Call ahead to be sure:
Post Office
Sherwin Williams
Banks and Credit Unions
Some restaurants with outdoor seating will allow you to dine outside with your dog (obviously weather permitting and call ahead)
Some shops around the downtown Fort Wayne area
Some shops in Jefferson Pointe
Some stores do not allow pets and only allow service dogs. It is very important as a responsible pet owner that you do not abuse this policy. Claiming a dog is an emotional support animal does not grant that dog the same privileges as a service dog. A service dog is trained to perform a specific service such as a guide dog for the vision impaired, hearing dog for the hearing impaired, mobility assistance dogs, seizure alert dogs, diabetic alert dogs, allergy detection dogs or medical alert dogs. Claiming to have a service dog when you, in fact, do not is not only dishonest, it can actually be hazardous to the individuals who need their service dogs. A true service dog has undergone years of training, is trained to ignore other dogs in order to perform it's service task, is calm and focused in various situations and is vitally important to their handler. According to a service dog brochure from the ADA, "Fake service dogs can hurt the reputation and acceptance of valid service dogs and the disabled persons who truly need those dogs to assist them."
Do not bring pets into:
Menards
Grocery stores
Stores with grocery sections (Walmart, Meijer, Target)
Glenbrook Mall
Allen County Public Library
Do call ahead and ask if your well-mannered, leashed pet can accompany you in their business. You might be surprised at how many stores will say yes! But please respect those stores that say no.

Our Story

Welcome To Aboite Animal Hospital! Aboite Animal Hospital, Ltd. is a small animal/exotic veterinary hospital. Over the past four decades, we have developed a reputation as a veterinary hospital which serves our community with the utmost honesty, integrity and compassion. Dr. Dan Rodgers founded Aboite Animal Hospital in 1973 after graduating from Purdue University. The hospital was originally located in Times Corners, and then moved to its current location in 1995. After 47 years of practice, Dr. Rodgers retired in January 2018. He was well known for his kindness and compassion towards animals, as well as their owners.

Dr. Brian Koesters and Dr. Bill Chastain, along with their partner Dr. Jamie Stover, bought the practice from Dr. Rodgers, and are going to continue the quality care that Aboite Animal Hospital is known for. Together, they own Summit Veterinary Associates, which consists of 3 hospitals: Animal Hospital of Syracuse, Cedar Creek Veterinary Clinic, and Aboite Animal Hospital. Dr. Koesters and Dr. Chastain are both graduates of the Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine, and Dr. Linda Parker graduated from Ross University after completing her clinical training at Oklahoma State University. Dr. Nicole Koch also graduated from Ross University, and completed her clinical training at Purdue University. They are in turn supported by an exceptional team of registered veterinary technicians, veterinary assistants, and reception staff. Our goal is to maintain the highest standards of veterinary medicine. Having been certified by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) since 1996, Aboite Animal Hospital continues to meet its changing high standards. In April of 2016, we became certified as a Feline Friendly Practice, meaning we have and will continue to find ways to ease the stress on cats while traveling to our hospital and while receiving care at our hospital. We strive to keep up with latest breakthroughs in veterinary medicine, and will continue to offer the hightest quality care to our patients.
