Between deliveries, guests, and festive distractions, even the most well-behaved pets can find an unexpected way out.

If your pet isn’t microchipped yet (or if you’re unsure whether the info is up to date), now is the perfect time to take care of it before the holiday rush. A quick, simple appointment can give you peace of mind all season long. Give us a call to schedule a microchip visit or to check your pet’s registration.

❄️🐾 It’s getting chilly out there, Colorado! As the temps drop, it’s a good time to brush up on cold weather safety for your pets. Even the fluffiest dogs and cats can feel the cold when the wind picks up or the snow starts to fly.

Here are a few friendly reminders to help keep your pets safe and cozy this winter:
• Keep outdoor time short during extreme cold — especially for seniors, short-haired pets, and those with health issues.
• If your pet needs to be outside, make sure they have a warm, dry shelter that’s protected from the wind, and check often that their water hasn’t frozen.
• Wipe paws after walks to remove ice and road salt, and consider boots or balm for extra protection.
• Clean up antifreeze spills right away — it smells sweet but is highly toxic to pets.
• Tap your car hood before starting it — cats sometimes crawl underneath for warmth.
• Stay on top of wellness visits — cold weather can make arthritis and other chronic issues flare up.

Colorado weather can change fast, and wind chills can dip dangerously low in minutes. Please bring pets indoors whenever you can — our local laws also require adequate shelter during extreme cold.

If your pet is shivering, weak, or has pale or cold extremities, call us right away — these may be signs of frostbite or hypothermia.

🐶🐱 Stay cozy — and don’t forget those extra blankets and belly rubs!

It’s the season for delicious feasts — but not everything on the table is safe for our furry family members. Before your pet sneaks a taste of Thanksgiving dinner, here’s a quick reminder of what to keep off their plate:
• Turkey bones and skin — can cause choking, digestive upset, or pancreatitis.
• Gravy and rich foods — high in fat and salt, which can be hard on pets’ stomachs.
• Onions, garlic, leeks, and chives — toxic to dogs and cats, even in small amounts.
• Grapes, raisins, and currants — can cause kidney failure in dogs.
• Chocolate and desserts with xylitol — dangerous or even deadly to pets.
• Unbaked dough or batter — can expand in the stomach and cause illness.

Check out this guide from ASPCA for more details. https://bit.ly/4obE2s8

If you want your pet to feel included in the celebration, offer pet-safe treats or a small serving of plain cooked turkey (no bones, skin, or seasoning). If your pet gets into something they shouldn’t, call us right away or contact the Pet Poison Helpline (855-764-7661) or ASPCA Animal Poison Control (888-426-4435).

Wishing you and your furry loved ones a safe, happy, and drool-worthy Thanksgiving! 🐾💛

🐾😼 Jynx’s Tips for Beating Boredom 😼🐾

Hi, friends! It’s me — Jynx, your favorite clinic cat. I have something important to discuss: enrichment. That’s a fancy human word for “keeping us pets from getting bored and plotting world domination.”

Whether you’re a cat like me (clearly superior) or a dog (bless your hearts), we all need things to do! Bored pets can get into mischief — shredded toilet paper, mystery holes in the yard, mysterious missing snacks… you get the idea.

Here are some of my purr-sonal favorite ways to stay busy:
• Food puzzles and slow feeders (make us work for the snacks — it’s fun, I promise)
• New toys that squeak, jingle, or crinkle
• Cat trees, scratching posts, or even a cardboard box — instant joy!
• Training sessions or scent games to keep our brains sharp
• Walks, window-watching, or even a change of scenery for our daily naps

Your pets will thank you for keeping life interesting (and you might save a few pairs of shoes in the process). 😉
— Love,
Jynx 🐾

Did you know that our own Dr. Holly Gauld provides Veterinary Spinal Manipulation Therapy (VSMT) right here at our clinic?

VSMT—similar to animal chiropractic care—is a gentle, non-invasive technique that helps restore proper alignment and movement in your pet’s spine and joints. This promotes a healthy nervous system, reduces inflammation and pain, and can help speed recovery after injury or surgery. It can also benefit pets with chronic pain or keep active pets performing at their best.

While many animals may benefit from VSMT, it’s not the right fit for every pet. If you’d like to learn more or discuss whether VSMT might help your furry friend, give us a call at 303-688-4690 or schedule a consultation with Dr. Gauld today!

Caring for Your Senior Pet

Just like people, pets experience changes as they age. Around age 6 or 7, your dog or cat may begin showing subtle signs of slowing down — a little stiffness, graying fur, or changes in behavior. While these are natural parts of aging, there’s so much we can do to help them stay comfortable, active, and happy through their golden years.

At Franktown Animal Clinic, our team partners with pet parents to support senior pets through:
• Regular wellness exams and bloodwork for early detection
• Dental care to protect overall health
• Tailored nutrition for aging needs
• Pain management and mobility support
• Advanced therapies such as acupuncture, chiropractic care, and piezo shockwave therapy

With attentive veterinary care and a little extra love, your senior pet can continue to thrive. 💕

Also, ask your pet’s veterinarian about our senior pet wellness programs for both dogs and cats.
