The 10% discount applies ONLY to the cleaning and will NOT include extractions, dental radiographs, or any additional services provided at the time of the cleaning. Appointments are limited and will be given on a first come, first serve basis. If you haven't already scheduled your pet's dental cleaning, give us a call at 208-522-8010!

For more information on pet dental care, check out this information from the American Veterinary Medical Association!

Hello everyone,
We wanted to take some time to address rising concerns regarding the unknown canine respiratory disease that’s surfaced in neighboring states and to share what information we know.

The Idaho State Veterinarian, Dr. Scott Leibsle, let us know that as of now, there are no confirmed cases of the new emerging respiratory disease in Idaho. However, there is no test for this specific respiratory pathogen which makes it difficult to diagnose.
We’ve been in contact with a few of the veterinary clinics in the Idaho Falls area and, at present, no one has reported any respiratory cases that were outside of what we typically see.

Because we cannot say with 100% certainty that this new respiratory pathogen is not present in Idaho, it is recommended that you take precautions in order to prevent your dogs from potentially coming into contact with it. Make sure that your dogs are fully vaccinated and use discretion when taking your pets to places like grooming facilities, boarding facilities, doggy daycares, parks, and anywhere else that may have crowds of dogs. Just like with any contagious entity, the more contact your pet has with other animals, the higher the chance of exposure.

We will continue to share any new information that we come across regarding this respiratory pathogen. If you have any questions or if your pet is exhibiting concerning respiratory symptoms; such as fever, yellow or green nasal discharge, coughing, or rapid and shallow breathing; please give us a call at 208-522-8010.
