Our animal care team is composed of talented doctors, Dr. Darin Meulebroeck, Dr. Jessica Olson, and Dr. Pauline Schroeder Amoth, and vet techs, which differ from vet assistants in that they undergo more extensive training to be qualified to perform more technical respo

nsibilities, from surgery assistance and x-rays to maintaining pet treatments. Whether you're the loving owner of a dog, cat, or a slightly more exotic pet, we work closely with you to determine the best possible wellness plan for your pet’s health and happiness.

⚠️ Attention Pet Owners! Urgent Microchip Update ⚠️

We’ve learned that Save This Life, the microchip company we’ve relied on, has shut down and unlinked its database from national registries.

What This Means for You and Your Pet:
✅ The microchip in your pet is still functional and safe.
❌ The database no longer connects lost pets to their owners.

What You Need to Do:
To ensure your contact information is accessible if your pet is lost, please re-register their microchip at freepetchipregistry.com. This free service is connected to the AAHA Universal Lookup Tool, making it easy to find your contact info in an emergency.

If you’re unsure of your pet’s microchip number or need help, we’re happy to assist. Contact us to schedule a scan or ask questions.

Your pet’s safety is our priority, and we’re here to support you through this transition. Don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re happy to help ensure your furry friends stay safe and secure no matter what.

Case of the Day ! 🐱

Meet Smalls, a one-year-old Brown Tabby. Smalls was brought in yesterday due to a lack of appetite and episodes of vomiting. During the physical examination, a string was discovered under his tongue. To conduct a more thorough evaluation, Smalls was sedated for radiographic imaging. Unfortunately, it was found that the string not only encircled his tongue but was also entangled in his stomach. Smalls was prepared for surgery, during which the string was successfully extracted. Following the procedure, he received an injection of antibiotics, an anti-nausea medication, and pain relief. After a restful recovery period, he was discharged this morning and is already showing significant improvement.

Case of the Day !

Meet Storm , she’s a 7 year old Black lab. Storm presented last Thursday for sneezing a lot and not acting like her normal self. It was noted that Storm is a hunting dog and was out a few days before the behavior started . Not being able to do a nasal exam that day she was sent home to be monitored.

Fast forward to today Storm came in for a sedated oral / nasal exam as the symptoms had worsened. Once Dr. Darin was able to look into the nasal passage we found the problem! A Cattail !

Once awake it was obvious Storm was feeling much better! She was sent home on Antibiotics to be sure no infection occurs.

Happy Friday, never know what veterinary medicine will bring !

Happy November! 🦃🍁

Did you know that November is National Senior Pet month ! While age is not a disease, there are certain health conditions that affect our senior pets more often than younger ones.

Unfortunately an older pet is more likely to develop diseases such as heart, kidney, and liver disease; cancer; or arthritis. Behavioral changes may also occur. Senior pets require additional care, such as more frequent examinations, diagnostics.

Please give us a call to schedule a Senior Wellness !

Meet Trevor , the 3 year old BullFrog . Trevor was presented for unusual redness on his arms and abdomen area. Upon examination Trevor was found to have bacterial dermatosepticemia also known as Red Leg Syndrome. Red leg syndrome is caused by a bacterial infection that causes dilation of the capillaries under the skin. Trevor will be treated once daily with an injection of a wide spectrum antibiotic.

Happy Friday !

Meet Vern, a handsome 9 year old Lab. Vern’s owner noticed today that he was moving around slower than normal. He also noticed Vern was uncomfortable with any movement in the left side of his neck. Thankfully we were able to get him in and do an exam. Upon examination it was noted that he was very stiff in his neck. In these situations our cold laser machine comes into play. Vern was a very good boy during his cold laser session and even wore his goggles the entire time! Hopefully Vern will be feeling back to normal in time !

What better way to end Pain management month?!

Happy Friday!

Case of the Week !

Meet Winston, a 9 year old Beagle.

Winston presented today for discomfort in his mouth. During his exam Dr. Dorsey was able to open the mouth and noticed something along the roof of the mouth. P was uncomfortable so he was dropped off to spend the morning with us. During his time he was lightly sedated and we were able to do a full mouth exam. The exam revealed there was a stick stuck on the roof of his mouth between his carnassial teeth. Once the stick was removed Winston was woken up and sent home. Winston was sent home on some pain medication and antibiotics!
