Good morning. The office is open today. We have quite the stack of emails and faxes that need attention today.

I am sure our phones will be incredibly busy, please have patience as we work through the backlog, created by the recent power outage.

We hope all of you have power back and that you came through the storm safe and sound!

Have a great day.

Only a few more days left to donate!

07/06/2024

For the month of July we will have a box in our lobby for Cardinal closet. Cardinal closet is located in Garfield Elementary School.

Open to all students in the Mentor school district, including their families.

If you would like to help fill the closet for the kids before they go back to school, drop off your donations during our normal business hours.

I have included a picture of their wish list!

Cardinal spirit!

The 4th is just around the corner, but we all know the celebrating has already begun.

Please make sure your besties are wearing up to date contact information on their collars. Don't have tags?? You could even use a sharpie to clearly mark your phone number, but the local pet stores can get you a new tag asap!

Personally I like to leave mine at home, in the A/C, with their favorite TV shows on with the sound turned up a notch.

Do you have cat besties? Surely, they can enjoy the comforts of staying inside for a few days, snuggled on their favorite chair!

Have a wonderful pre-holiday weekend.

Do you travel with your dog to Canada (or any other foreign country)? If so please read this and contact our office as soon as possible! The CDC has significantly changed the rules for dogs returning to the US and it will be much more complicated than in past years.
Previously all that was needed to reenter the US from Canada was a rabies vaccine certificate. As of August 1st dogs entering the US must:
1) Be 6 months of age or older
2) Be microchipped with an ISO compatible microchip (the ones given at Mentor Animal Hospital are compatible)
3) Be rabies vaccinated:
a) At least 28 days prior to travel (possibly longer given the paperwork requirement).
b) That rabies vaccine must have been given by a USDA-accredited veterinarian or another vet in that practice. Rabies vaccines given by any vet at Mentor Animal Hospital will be accepted. The CDC won’t allow us to accept rabies vaccines given at vaccine clinics or hospitals other than the one applying for the certificate.
c) The rabies vaccine must have been given AFTER the dog was microchipped. Even if the rabies vaccine is current if your dog doesn’t have a microchip the vaccine will need to be given again.
4) Have a printed copy of the Certification of US-Issued Rabies Vaccination form. This form must be applied-for by the certified veterinarian who administered the vaccine and this form must be endorsed by the USDA Animal Plant Inspection Service. Currently the fee is $38 per dog/certificate. We cannot begin applying for these certificates until July 15th, and we don’t know how fast they can be issued.
** NOTE** These new regulations only apply to dogs. Cats are exempt.
The US has been free from dog variant rabies since 2007, and the CDC has created these rules to prevent its reintroduction. The rules are even more strict if your dog is traveling to countries with a high risk of dog strain rabies.
More information can be found at https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2024/s0508-Dog-Importation-Regulation.html and the CDC has a “DogBot” app at https://www.cdc.gov/importation/bringing-an-animal-into-the-united-states/dogs.html to help you determine what rules you need to follow. Please contact us as soon as possible if you plan on traveling to Canada.

There are a number of services that specialize in negotiating the ever-changing requirements for traveling internationally with your pets. These consultants are experts in pet travel and will provide step by step guidelines throughout the process.

"I'm not ready for my close up"

02/27/2024

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Mrs. B you my dear are a treasure. The staff so enjoyed the lasagna, the salads and beverages. We haven't dipped into the chocolates yet, no room ;) We truly do have the best clients!

Look at that poker face!

02/06/2024

Good morning. When stopping in for an appointment, it is always a good idea to verify contact information. Have you moved? Did you disconnect your land line or do you have a new cell number? Should we add someone else to your account or did you have a last name change? Please help us keep that info up to date on your account!

If you have adopted a new pet, let us know and we can add them to your account. We will gladly share our email address with you if you would like to send over any records you may have for your new family member.

Having an email listed on your account will help us contact you if we cannot reach you by phone.

We utilize an online pharmacy and if you have provided us with an email, you may receive coupon codes off of medications and preventatives, some of those deals are pretty sweet by the way!

Have a great day!

Good Morning.

The roads are indeed very Icy this morning! Our parking lot was very slick when I pulled in. I have covered the entire parking area in lots and lots of salt. I would still use caution when getting out of your vehicle.

Thank you.

Those tasty treats you're baking for the holidays are tempting to your pets but can make them sick. Make sure to keep food in places pets can't reach!

My Christmas Crack is currently cooling in my spare room 😁

We have shortened business hours this month so that our staff can enjoy time with family during the Holiday season.

Happy Holidays

Best of luck to Dr. Hornick as she heads to Orlando next week with Felyx the American Hairless Terrier. Felyx was invited to compete at the Royal Canin National Championship Dog Show because he is in the top ten owner handled dogs of his breed in the entire U.S. The Royal Canin Show is the largest dog show in the U.S. with 5700 dogs entered this year!

Employee spotlight: It is hard to believe that Janette has been with the Mentor Animal Hospital for 20 years. When Janette isn't in an exam room laughing and joking with the clients, she can be found in surgery taking excellent care of her patients! Janette is also the one that sends you all of those lovely post surgery pics! Not only is Janette dedicated to her profession, she also rocks it out as a mom to her 2 wonderful boys and her 4 fur kids. Happy Anniversary Janette! Thank you for all you do!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Have a beautiful day!

Good morning!

Some of our patients are shy and do not like to socialize with others. Some kitty parents are a little nervous around large dogs.

Thank you for helping us make their visits a little less stressful by calling from the car when you arrive.

We will call you in, when your room is ready.

Thank you!
