Having family and friends visit throughout the holiday season is wonderful. But for our pets, having new people in the house can be a big source of anxiety. Guests coming in and out may also inadvertently provide an avenue for escape for a frightened pet, creating extra risk.

Pet safety tip: Provide your pets with a haven such as their own quiet room or a cozy crate to curl up in while guests are visiting. Keep them safely locked away from open doors to prevent escape. Limit interactions with guests to help reduce your pets' stress. Contact MPVESC about calming supplements or medications to help ease your pets' anxiety during these stressful times if your pet shows signs of stress.

VETERINARY ULTRASOUND
Monterey Peninsula Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Center is able to offer veterinary ultrasound as a non-invasive diagnostic option. Ultrasound can provide detailed information about any abnormal size and structure of internal organs and has become an integral part of making a diagnosis and being able to elect the best treatment option for your pet.

BASIC DIAGNOSTIC & EMERGENCY ULTRASOUND
The emergency and general practitioners at the Monterey Peninsula Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Center are trained to perform basic veterinary ultrasound using state-of-the-art equipment and technology.

MOBILE BOARD-CERTIFIED RADIOLOGY
We also have the ability to call on independent, mobile, board-certified radiologists. These experts work closely with our practice to perform ultrasound to meet your pet’s needs on demand. Radiologists also can perform other diagnostics during ultrasound, such as fluid aspiration from a body cavity or organ, biopsy of an organ or tumor, yielding essential information about your pet’s condition.

24/7 TELEMEDICINE FOR RADIOLOGY CONSULTATION
In addition to our basic and mobile ultrasound capabilities, our veterinarians also maintain 24/7/365 access to board-certified radiologists for consultation and support via telemedicine. Using telemedicine to instantly transfer the digital ultrasound images, we are able to get a written report from the board-certified radiologist in a short turnaround time of 1-4 hours.

Did you know that during Christmas 5 out of 6 pet owners bring their dog along on holiday road trips?

Many families want to include their dog or cat in their holiday plans, and luckily there are ways to make holiday travel safer and less stressful for you and your pets. If you’re thinking about bringing your dog or cat along on holiday travel, here are some helpful tips for traveling with pets:

1. Allow Extra Time When Traveling With a Pet
Make sure to schedule extra time for travel, as your dog will need regular breaks to relieve themselves and stretch their legs.
2. ry to Keep a Regular Routine
Whether during a long road trip or at a relative’s home, your dog will appreciate eating their meals and taking their usual walk at the same time. Cats are creatures of habit too, so keeping their routine as normal as possible is important for limiting their stress.
3. Pack for Your Pet
You’ll want to stock up on waste bags for your dog’s outdoor breaks. Have plenty of water bowls and water on hand, and pack extra of your pet’s food. Don’t forget their medications and supplements — make sure you have enough for the whole time you’ll be away.
4. Update Your Pet’s ID Tags and Microchip
The last thing you want is for your pet to get lost while on holiday. But in case they do, having a collar with up-to-date contact information and making sure their microchip is registered and information updated will increase your chances of a fast reunion.

All boarding suites include bowls, bedding, and dog-safe toys.

These pets stay in our Patient Care Ward, and are cared for by our nursing care team under the guidance of the attending veterinarian.

Day Boarding
We offer day boarding for clients who have pets that might need a little extra supervision during the day.

Safe Toys and Gifts for Pets Month
When it comes to dogs and cats, toys are a necessity and not a luxury. Species-appropriate toys provide your pet with exercise, mental stimulation, comfort, distraction, and entertainment – all for just a few dollars.

Dog Toys
Consider size and breed for dog toys and avoid small parts. It’s in a dog’s DNA to want to chew. Safe toys that help meet this instinct include hard rubber balls, tennis balls, and a small toy rope with a knot at each end.

Cat Toys
Cats love to stalk, chase, and capture their toys, which goes back to the days of their undomesticated ancestors catching their prey. Popular toys for cats include laser pointers, string, small balls with bells inside, and toy mice. You can even consider sprinkling a toy with catnip to really capture your cat’s attention. Having a wide variety of toys is especially important for cats who don’t go outside.

Maintaining a healthy weight and proper nutrition is an important aspect of wellness for any pet. Pets are just as susceptible as humans to diseases associated with obesity. We are happy to offer weight loss programs and advice on ways in which you can meet all of your pet’s dietary needs.

Our veterinarians will always take the time to communicate with you about wellness and preventive care for your animal companion. We understand how important it is for people to know what is going on with their pet’s health and make sure to keep you informed so you know what to expect and how best to care for your pet at home.

At MPVESC we love all dogs, and especially “mutts.” Mixed-breed dogs, also known as mutts, are often overlooked and can remain in shelters longer than purebreds. Consider adopting a shelter dog with a mixed breed background and know that you’re choosing a wonderful companion.
