Going to the vet and getting blood drawn can be scary! Bear first came to us terrified at the vet! He started medications and doing weekly cooperative care visits with our technician Becca. He now willingly puts his paw out for his blood drawn! We are so proud of you Bear! Please call us to schedule cooperative care visits! 847 680 6543

Can you do an impression of a kennel cough cough? # #

Have you heard of a treat scatter? It's a great tool for reactive dogs. These are Dr. Hai's dogs. They react to people walking their dogs in front of the yard. I will open the window and throw a bunch of cheerios. They stop barking and focus on the cheerios. At the hospital, we use treat scatters during exams, trying to leave a room for excited dogs and many other reasons! It is not necessarily rewarding the behavior (ie barking in this situation), but helping calm an excited mind. Ask us how we can help by scheduling an appointment!

Loki came in for his annual today with Dr. Hai. He loved the treats and was so brave!

Do you remember Mae from a few months ago? Her arthritis was preventing her from jumping up on things. She would meow to her owner to pick her up to high places. This is her after 3 injections of Solensia! Wow! We are so happy for Mae and her improved quality of life! Take the quiz today to see if Solensia could help your kitty! https://www.zoetispetcare.com/checklist/osteoarthritis-checklist-cat Please call 847-680-6543 or use petdesk to schedule your appointment to discuss further.

Apple Cider and Pumpkin Pie gobbled up a treat at their visit yesterday at GreenTree. We hope you all enjoyed your meals too with your loved ones today. We are thankful for our amazing clients and patients everyday! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

Do you recognize the signs of osteoarthritis in cats? It is very subtle in cats! This video shows Mae hesitating jumping up on the bed which can be one sign. Other signs include difficulty jumping down, difficulty climbing up and down stairs, difficulty running and chasing toys, and difficulty grooming. If your senior kitty is showing signs of osteoarthritis, talk to your GreenTree Animal Hospital about Solensia. Solensia is a new once a month, injectable monoclonal antibody therapy for feline osteoarthritis. Here is a checklist to see if you senior kitty would benefit from it! https://www.zoetispetcare.com/checklist/osteoarthritis-checklist-cat?utm_source=pet-owner-brochure&utm_medium=qr-code&utm_campaign=solensia-oa-checklist-cat
