To our valued clients regarding COVID-19:
To ensure everyone's safety, we will be doing the following:

- Wiping down all surfaces, chairs, doorknobs in our examination · rooms between every
visit
- Sanitizing the lobby frequently
- Washing our hands thoroughly between every appointment and multiple times throughout
the day (we ask that you do the same)
- Asking clients not to crowd the lobby - depending on how busy we are at the time of
your arrival, we may ask you to wait outside or in your car until we can move you and
your pet directly into an exam room
- Asking clients not to crowd the reception desk - if another client is at the desk when you
are moved to reception to check out, we will request that you sit and wait for our
receptionist to call you to the counter when they are ready to assist you

Please do not hesitate to ask staff members about our COVID-19 precautions.

Crate training is a great idea for dog owners of all ages. Crates are useful tools for puppies, safe havens for senior dogs, and lifesavers for emergencies.

This big boy is Cyrus! :) Cyrus is a 1.5-year-old, handsome, blue Great Dane, looking for his forever home. He came to see us for help with his allergies, and we are all smitten with this gentle giant. If you have the room in your home and your heart for this hunk, you can find out more about him and the adoption process by contacting Great Dane Love - A Central Florida Rescue, Inc. on Facebook or visiting their website at www.GDLCF.org

Just a little warning regarding the treats many stores are now starting to stock for dogs at Christmas.

Many of these so called treats end up with the dog "enjoying" some time in a veterinary surgery over Christmas.

The vast majority of these rawhide products and treats come from China.

The chews are made from cattle or horse hides and their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulphide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white "pure" look and remove the rancid smell.
Now comes the pretty festive colours and the glue to form cute shapes.
On testing, these chews have shown traces of arsenic, mercury, chromium and formaldehyde.

If that wasn't bad enough, they regularly cause intestinal blockages, poisoning from chemical residue and choking.
The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.

Leave them in the shop where they belong or if some well meaning person buys them for your dog put them safely away for later, then dispatch in the bin!

Please be safe with your dogs!
