Get ready to PAWTY! ๐ŸŽ‰ Help us celebrate Phoenix's Yappy Barkday this week!! ๐Ÿฅฐ

Humane Society of Elmore County News โ€“ 24 Jun โ€˜24

This is a birthday week for a very special dog adopted from our Shelter! Phoenix, adopted from our Shelter by Elizabeth at Blue Ridge Animal Clinic, is not only a very special dog, but perhaps one of the luckiest dogs ever getting to spend her life with Elizabeth & Russ. So THIS week is Phoenixโ€™s 9th annual โ€˜Yappy Barkday Pawtyโ€™ Fundraiser at Blue Ridge Animal Clinic, 4422 Wetumpka Hwy, Montgomery (in the Tallapoosa Crossings Shopping Center). This is a week-long โ€˜partyโ€™ starting today through Fri, 28 June from 7:30 am - 5:30 pm daily (and the clinic will also be open at lunchtime this week). Phoenix celebrates her birthday by asking for donations for our Shelter. Elizabeth has a list at the Clinic or check out our website wish list at http://www.elmorehumane.org/hsec-wish-list.html . Phoenix & Elizabeth will also take monetary donations which will help us pay for medical treatments, vaccines, spay/neuter surgeries and more.

Phoenix will have T-Shirts for sale, swag bags, refreshments for us humans, puppacinos, pet treats, bandana station, kissing booth photos and so much more! Phoenix has raised thousands of dollars and truckloads of supplies for our Shelter which is just incredible and a testament to so many Blue Ridge Animal Clinic clients and their friends and families. So stop by Blue Ridge Animal Clinic this week and thank Phoenix, Elizabeth and everyone at the Clinic for helping our Shelter like this!

Looking ahead, another fantastic local organization, Wetumpka Depot Players, is also helping our Shelter. Tickets are on sale for the upcoming โ€˜Hooray for Harry Woodโ€™ (11-27 July), starring, Baxter, a very loved pup! Baxterโ€™s human, Janet Cothran Robinson (Depot stage manager) has a heart for taking in older pups and giving them their best life. In honor of her love for Baxter and others like him, they will be accepting donations of dog food or cash throughout the Hooray for Harry Wood showing to help our pets. They will thank donors with complimentary concessions, and we cannot wait to get our tickets to join in on this fun show!

Donโ€™t forget that you can donate food as well while doing your grocery shopping at our local Wetumpka Winn Dixie! They are keeping this going all summer while our food need is at its greatest so thank you Wetumpka Winn Dixie for thinking of our pets like this.

If you have pets and are planning to be away for the 4th of July holiday, we sure hope you have made your pet boarding reservations already. Boarding facilities tend to book 100% for long weekends, so donโ€™t delay making appropriate arrangements if you have not already, And this can include updating your petโ€™s vaccinations as required by any boarding facility so donโ€™t wait til the last minute!

This sweet, tiny boy melted our hearts during his very first kitten checkup. Isn't he precious? ๐Ÿค—

Our veterinary team at Blue Ridge Animal Clinic is eager to meet your new furry additions to the family. We look forward to partnering with you so that your pets receive the healthiest start to life. โ™ฅ๏ธ

What to expect at your kitten's first exam:

โœจ Please bring your kitten in a cat carrier and any health documentation provided to you when you received your kitten. You can also bring a blanket, toy, or treats to help your kitten feel more comfortable.

๐Ÿฉบ During the first visit at Blue Ridge, your kitten will receive a comprehensive physical exam from nose to tail by one of our amazing veterinarians, Dr. Busby or Dr. Porter. We are happy to address any questions or concerns you may have about diet and nutrition, normal behavior and development, socialization, litter training, and vaccinations.

๐Ÿ’‰ At your kitten's first visit, our veterinarian will discuss a schedule of vaccines that will best protect your kitten. The schedule will include a rabies vaccine, and a series of FVRCP vaccines to protect your kitten against feline viral rhinotracheitis, calici virus, and feline panleukopenia. You can read more about panleuk by clicking this link:

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=357746379685639&id=100063508392949

Cats and kittens that go outside have a greater risk of exposure to feline leukemia virus. We recommend a series of leukemia vaccines for kittens that will have access to the outdoors.

๐Ÿชฑ All new pets need a f***l examination to screen for intestinal parasites. If your kitten provided a stool sample at home the day of the check-up, you can bring the sample to the appointment. F***l exams will screen for roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, coccidia and giardia.

๐Ÿ’Š At your kitten's first visit, your kitten will receive a dose of routine deworming appropriate for your kitten's age and weight.

๐Ÿฅผ Our veterinarian will discuss recommendations for prevention of fleas, ticks, heartworms, and internal parasites based on your kitten's health and lifestyle. Your kitten may receive a dose of prevention during the appointment.

๐Ÿˆ We recommend that all new kittens and cats are triple tested. The feline triple test we carry is run in-house, and screens for heartworms and viruses specific to felines- Feline Leukemia Virus and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.

๐Ÿ’ž Save a life, spay and neuter. Every feline companion needs to be spayed or neutered. Spaying and neutering is a vital role in providing your cat and kitten with a healthy life, and preventing unnecessary litters. We recommend to schedule your kitten's spay or neuter appointment at the age of six months old. During your kitten's first exam, our veterinarian can address any questions you may have about spay and neuter.

Let's talk puppy chew toys!!

We all know puppies love to play and explore the world around them through chewing. ๐Ÿถ But what makes a safe chew toy?

๐Ÿพ Toys that are bendable.
๐Ÿพ Toys that you can indent with your finger.

If a toy is so hard that you cannot bend or indent it, then the toy is unsafe. This includes antlers, hoofs, rawhides, and tennis balls.

Chew toys labeled as "indestructible" and "durable for rough chewers" are often too hard and can cause teeth to wear down and fracture.

๐Ÿพ CET dental chews and VeggiesDents are safer alternatives to rawhides. We carry CET chews and VeggieDents at the clinic.
๐Ÿพ Chuckit Balls are safer alternatives to tennis balls. You can find these on Amazon, Chewy, and in pet stores.
๐Ÿพ Bendable Nyla Bones are safer alternatives to antlers and hoofs. You can find these on Amazon, Chewy, and in pet stores.
๐Ÿพ Ruff Dawg chew toys (the ones that are bendable) are a safer "indestructible" option for rough chewers. You can find these on Amazon. Charlie and Hank at the clinic LOVE their Ruff Dawg barbell toy!

Puppies need a series of DHPP vaccines to keep them healthy and protected against distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus. During your puppy's first check-up at Blue Ridge, we will discuss when your puppy needs to come back for booster vaccines as well as their first rabies vaccine.

We give your pets treats and lots of love during their appointments to help them feel as comfortable as possible. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

Did you know that what your pets chew can affect their teeth? Chew toys and treats need to be bendable or soft enough to indent. Hard "indestructible" toys, bones, and antlers are not safe for your pet's dental health and can cause teeth to fracture.

Dr. Busby is certified in advanced veterinary dentistry, and can perform dentin restorative bonding. This isnโ€™t done to make the tooth pretty, but instead to protect the tooth from getting infected. The bonding will seal the dentin and protect against abscess.

Most teeth that are fractured are important: canines or large chewing teeth. If we can protect these teeth, pets have a more comfortable mouth for eating and โ€œapprovedโ€ chewing! ๐Ÿฆท๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฉบ
