Brookview Animal Health Center

Brookview Animal Health Center We are a family based Veterinary Practice that cares for small pets and exotics. Our goal is to provide quality loving care for your best friend.

At Brookview, we are more than just a hospital. We are here to listen, as well as educate. Our staff’s goal is to make your pet’s experience as stress and pain free as possible. The pets are all cared for by compassionate, loving technicians. Dr. Smith, Dr. Rachael, and Dr. Bella have unbelievable “bedside manners” and a great love for animals. The office has three clinic cats that love everybody:

Ices, a snow white cat, Dante, a huge black cat, and Tica, a petite calico who plays the role of office greeter. All of our clinic cats are rescues who now lead very charmed lives. In our office you may meet our Umbrella Cockatoo, Juliet, who loves attention. She will let most everyone pet her and will sometimes even go on your shoulder. Dr. Smith is her favorite person though, so don’t be offended if she leaves you when she sees him.

This cutie is Apollo, our “Pet of the Week!” Apollo is a 2 year old Alaskan Klee Kai/ Chihuahua mix! His mom tells us this guy loves getting his monthly Bark Box, car rides, and playing with big dogs. As you might guess from his breed, Apollo can be a little sassy and dramatic at home, but his mom wouldn’t have him any other way!

Join us in “Getting to Know Your Breed,” the Cane Corso!
The Corso's lineage originated in Italy and goes back to ancient Roman times. The breed's name roughly translates from the Latin as 'bodyguard dog.' Often weighing more than 100 pounds with a large head, alert expression, and muscles rippling beneath their short, stiff coat, Corsi can be intimidating creatures. Their imposing appearance is their first line of defense against intruders.
The Cane Corso's coat is short, but double-layered. The undercoat, which varies in length depending on the climate the dog lives in, sheds throughout the year. Similar to many large breed and deep-chested breeds, Cane Corso’s can be prone to health conditions such as hip dysplasia and bloat, a sudden, life-threatening stomach condition. Responsible breeders may also screen for idiopathic epilepsy, demodex mange, and eyelid abnormalities.
Cane Corsos need serious exercise. A brisk walk or run of at least a mile in the morning and again in the evening will sustain their health and muscle tone. They make great companions on long walks, hikes, or bicycle rides. The Cane Corso was bred to work and is happiest when given a job to do. They need mental as well as physical stimulation, or undesirable behavior will result.
Corsi are intelligent and intensely loyal to their humans, but are also assertive and willful. As with any other big guardian dog, responsible breeding and early socialization with people and other dogs is vital. Many Cane Corso dogs can be dominant and protective, but these traits can easily morph into aggression without effective training and leadership in the home. Early socialization and puppy training classes are recommended for all dogs, but for a breed as big and strong as a Cane Corso, they are a must. Proper socialization will help ensure that they grow into well-adjusted, well-mannered adults and obedience training will help owners to keep them from becoming the boss in the household.

Did you know? Halloween can be a downright spooky experience for pets! Costumes and masks, lights and decorations, and a constant parade of strangers coming to the door can all be stressful for our fur kids. You can protect your pets by taking these steps to reduce the risk of them being hurt, poisoned, or lost.

Don't feed pets Halloween treats. Raisins can cause your pet’s kidneys to fail, and candy may contain substances toxic to pets, such as chocolate or xylitol (a common sugar substitute found in sugar-free candies and gum). Often, you won’t be able to tell what a treat or piece of candy contains just by looking at it.
Make sure your pets have identification (microchip, collar, and ID tag) that will make it easy for someone to contact you and return them home in case they escape through an open door while you're distracted with trick-or-treaters.
Keep lit candles, jack-o-lanterns, and other Halloween decorations out of reach of pets.
Keep all human costume pieces away from pets, along with glow sticks, decorations, batteries, and other holiday items. When chewed, glow stick items can release liquid that tastes really bad and can make pets drool excessively or act strangely. Other costume parts and decorations might cause choking, internal injury, or illness.
If you plan to put a costume on your pet, make sure it fits properly and is comfortable, doesn’t have any pieces that easily can be chewed off or cause choking, and doesn’t block your pet's sight, hearing, breathing, mouth, or movement. Take time before Halloween to get your pet accustomed to the costume, and never leave a costumed pet unsupervised.
If your pet is wary of strangers or has a tendency to bite, put them in a room away from the front door during trick-or-treating hours, or provide them with a safe hiding place indoors.
