A day in the life of your family pet veterinarian!
This page will feature cool cases, pictures of adorable puppies and kittens, and a glimpse into what it’s like to be a veterinarian.
Dr. Pig would like to remind you that today is the first of the month. If your pet is on oral heartworm or flea and tick medications, don’t forget to give them! Better yet, schedule a time to come get a Proheart injection to prevent heartworms for up to 12 months at a time! Leave heartworms, fleas, and ticks in 2022! Happy New Year! ❤️
Lincoln and Dr. Stacey had lots to chat about yesterday during his visit. He’s the best good boy. ❤️
Dr. Piggy approves ❤️
January is Wellness Month at Cantrell Animal Clinic!
As you are making your New Year’s Resolutions and goals for the year, don’t forget to focus on the health of your pet as well. We want everyone to make sure that they are walking into the new year with a healthy best friend. We are offering 10% off on wellness exams and wellness bloodwork this month so that we can start the year out on the right foot.
Our wellness bloodwork consists of the following:
-a complete blood count to evaluate red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets
-a chemistry panel to evaluate the health of the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas, and many other important parameters
-thyroid hormone level
In doing this, we can detect disease early and intervene with medications or diet change to help your pet live a longer, happier life. The exam and blood draw are quick and you will receive the results within one week.
The added benefit is that if you are planning to participate in our dental health month in February, this lab work can be used as your pre-anesthetic panel which will save you on the cost of the dental cleaning. Give us a call to schedule your wellness exam!
We wanted to take a moment to wish our clients a Happy New Year! Thank you so much for your continued support. We will be closed from Friday 12/31 through the weekend in observance of New Years. We will reopen Monday 1/3. In the event of an emergency, please contact Arkansas Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Clinic at (501) 224-3784 or The After Hours Animal Hospital at (501) 955-0911. We can’t wait to start the new year with you!
Dr. Piggy can’t wait for Christmas!
In case you ever wonder if your pet is having fun when you drop them off with us…

Happy 15th Birthday to my favorite Cabella-boy! Love you so big!!!
I neutered this sweet boy today. He’s the cutest, sweetest, and poofiest Pom I’ve ever met! ❤️❤️❤️
Today, was a very, very big day for me. Today, I became the owner of Cantrell Animal Clinic. Dr. Barnett and his wife, Jane, have dedicated years to building the practice and serving the community at CAC. I feel honored that they have trusted me with continuing what they have built. I’m so excited for this new chapter, and I’m so, so grateful for the opportunity. ❤️ ~Dr. S

This is Pumpkin, a young man who already understands the importance of at only 8 weeks old. See that bow tie peeking out from under there? That’s . Notice the meticulously styled curls? . The seasonally appropriate name? You guessed it: . Count me both inspired and mildly insecure.
I am so very appreciative for all the veterinary nurses who help me do my job. They go above and beyond every single day! Thank you! ❤️
Today was a very big first day! I’m now taking appointments at Cantrell Animal Clinic. Today was full of getting to know my way around the clinic and getting lots of puppy snuggles. I’m so excited to be working with such a wonderful group of people, and I can’t wait to meet all the new faces! ❤️🐾
Puppies make the day better! We met Dottie this morning for her puppy vaccines. Shes pretty perfect!
❤️❤️❤️

Chloe was the best patient this morning ❤️
Little Zoey the Heart-Breaker ❤️❤️❤️
Meet Jameson! He is Dr. Sadler’s new puppy, so he’s hanging out in my office today. He. Is. Perfect. 😍
Look at these sweet brown eyes! Sassy was here today for a minor surgery to remove a lump. She was very brave and sweet, and she’s on the road to recovery now!
Zeus and Micki may look a bit intimidating, but they are some of my sweetest and well-behaved patients! ❤️
I am so excited to announce that I’m making a permanent move to Cantrell Animal Clinic! October 13th will be my first day, and we are booking appointments now. I’m so excited to become part of the CAC family, and I’m looking forward to offering exceptional care in a family atmosphere. We have very exciting plans in the works, so stay tuned!
On a walk with my family last night, we found a cat and 4 kittens living in/under a dumpster. We rescued them and now they are temporarily living on our back patio. 🥴 They will need homes. I’m estimating that the kittens are around 7 weeks old. I will vaccinate and deworm them and spay the momma. Please help me spread the word so that they can get loving homes. They are all beautiful!
Lexie has been hospitalized with us for the past few days. She’s feeling better now that her blood glucose is under control! We know she’s feeling better because her spunky personality is back 😛 Did you know that dogs and cats can get diabetes, just like humans? Diabetes is due to excess glucose in the bloodstream due to a lack of insulin production or the body’s inability to use insulin properly. Signs of diabetes include increased thirst and urination, lethargy, increased appetite, and weight loss.
I really like this article for more information!

Check out this cool backpack carrier Brie came to see us in! ❤️
Bruce will wag his whole body for a treat!
Poor Starsky broke his tooth, and needed it extracted so that he could eat without pain. He’s going to feel so much better now! This tooth is called the carnassial tooth. It’s a 3 rooted premolar that is used for crushing and breaking up hard food. It is sometimes fractured by chewing on hard objects. In this case, the fracture was a “slab fracture,” which means a portion of the crown fractured off and remained attached by the gingiva. It is extracted by sectioning all 3 roots and creating a gingival flap for closure. He’s all fixed up now! Feel better, Starsky!
Ozzie came by for his yearly check-up today. I told him that he was my favorite, but don’t tell his siblings 🤫😍

Shelby found canine Demodex mites by performing a skin scrape. Demodex is a type of mange that causes hair loss. It is a parasitic mite that lives in the hair follicle. It can be seen under the microscope and has a cigar appearance. Surprisingly, it often doesn’t make the patient very itchy. It is often passed to puppies from their mother, but it is not considered contagious to other dogs or humans. It is easily treated with oral flea and tick meds (isoxazolines). #creepycrawlies
Riding in style with a donut e-collar ❤️ We love our patients!
Bitzie came in today stylin’ 😎😎😎
Our newest receptionist, Kennedy, brought her sweet friend, Oscar, in today. She shared his impressive tricks with us! Oscar is deaf, and people often thought he was a bad boy because he didn’t listen. But once they discovered that he couldn’t hear them, Kennedy and her family taught him sign language. As you can tell, he is thriving now! ❤️❤️❤️
Shelby captured this cool video of ear mites under the microscope. The scientific term for ear mites is Otodectes cynotis. Signs of ear mites in dogs and cats are dark, waxy ear debris, very itchy ears, and scabs around the ears. They are contagious between household pets. Simply watching this video makes us itchy!
