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.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of popular Brookview team member, Tica. 🤍
Tica became suddenly ill last week and continued to decline despite our Doctor’s best efforts and treatment. Several of our staff members were with her on Sunday as she crossed the rainbow bridge. Tica brought smiles to many in her role as office greeter, front desk supervisor, and check out buddy. She will be greatly missed at Brookview.

We’re “Getting to Know Your Breed” the Miniature Pinscher! Show off photos of your Min Pins in the comments!

The breeding of Miniature Pinschers goes back several centuries, but the exact point of origin remains murky. Because their names and physical contours are similar, it's often mistakenly assumed that Min Pins are mini Doberman Pinschers, but breed historians believe that they are more likely a cross of the Dachshund and Italian Greyhound. The German Pinscher is another possible component breed.
The Miniature Pinscher is a proud, fearless, fun-loving toy breed that is known for their high-stepping “hackney” gait. The Miniature Pinscher's short, hard coat is very easily maintained. A weekly once-over with a soft brush will keep them shining. The nails should be trimmed regularly, as overly long nails can cause the dog discomfort. A Min Pin’s teeth should be brushed often using a toothpaste designed for dogs. Some dogs are prone to getting overweight, so watch your dog's calorie consumption and weight level. Treats can be an important aid in training, but giving too many can cause obesity. Regular visits to the vet for checkups and parasite control help to ensure your dog has a long, healthy life.
The Miniature Pinscher is a very active and athletic breed that requires ample exercise. A couple of good walks with their human every day will help ensure optimum mental and physical health. Min Pin’s can enjoy relaxing on the sofa, but will be equally eager to go outside and play.
Miniature Pinschers are very smart and love their families, but they can also be independent. They may try to test their owner's limits, so obedience training is a good idea. Early socialization and puppy training classes are recommended and help to ensure that the dog grows into a well-adjusted, well-mannered companion.

“The More you Know:” Hunting dog safety

Dogs and their owners were hunting together 20,000 years ago, and some continue to do so today. While most of us no longer depend on wild game for survival, hunting still has a place in the modern world as a form of exercise and sport for our canine companions. Even though hunting can be a controversial subject, there are many man-dog partnerships that participate in a respectful, responsible fashion that strengthens the bond between owner and dog.
Basic obedience skills, coupled with specific hunting skills, is imperative to keeping your hunting dog safe. Basic obedience training should begin early in puppies with fundamentals such as sit, stay, and come. Expansion of that education to tracking and retrieving requires extensive time and training on the part of both the dog and the hunter. Exposure to other animals, people, and places with their new sights, sounds, and scents is a key priority when preparing puppies for hunting. Making sure your dog wears proper identification and is microchipped when going on a hunt will help reunite dogs with their owner should they become unexpectedly separated.
Hunting can be physically challenging, so getting and keeping your dog in shape will help prevent unnecessary injuries. As with all exercise, start out slowly and gradually increase intensity to improve stamina. Foot pads can be conditioned by running on solid surfaces before hunting on rough terrain to prevent torn or bruised foot pads. Always check your pet after a hunt for any cuts, seeds, or debris that they may have obtained on their body, in their fur coat, and in their eyes, nose, and ears.
Since hunting dogs have a greater risk of exposure than most dogs, it is important to make sure all of your dog's vaccinations are up to date. Ask your veterinarian if there are additional recommended vaccines your dog should receive based on you wanting to hunt. Also let them know where you plan to go hunting, as some diseases are found in certain areas and not others. Since your dog will be exposed to parasites in the outdoors, keep them on year-round heartworm and intestinal parasite preventive. Also, administer medication for external parasites like fleas and ticks.
It is recommended to carry bottled water or bring water from home to avoid intestinal upset while on a hunt. Collapsable water bowls can be carried for convenience. Be prepared for emergencies by packing a first aid kit that includes hydrogen peroxide, antibiotic ointment, bandaging material (gauze, tape), and hemostats or pliers to remove thorns or stickers. Owners should also be mindful of the temperature and rest their dog appropriately when hunting in warmer or very cold weather to avoid hyper- or hypothermia. Keep contact information for a veterinary emergency clinic on hand in case your dog requires immediate care during or after a hunt.
Although hunting is not for every person or every dog, those that choose this sport will enjoy the outdoor activity and strengthen the bond between owner and canine companion.

His mom tells us this guy loves getting his monthly Bark Box, car rides, and playing with big dogs.
