We took out Selene's bad eye.

We hoped it would make her less cranky.

We have doubts. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Why Pet Dental Care is Essential for a Healthy, Happy Life 🐾🦷

Did you know that 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of dental disease by the age of 3? Dental health is a critical part of your pet’s overall wellness. Left untreated, dental disease can lead to pain, tooth loss, infections, and even heart, liver, and kidney problems.

At Lone Tree Animal Care Center, we offer comprehensive dental procedures to keep your pet’s mouth clean and healthy. A full dental cleaning involves:
✔️ Scaling and polishing to remove tartar and plaque buildup
✔️ Thorough oral exams to detect hidden issues
✔️ Antibiotics and painkillers for post-procedure comfort and prophylaxis
✔️ Drilling and tooth extraction when necessary

Sometimes, we find damaged or infected teeth that need to be removed for your pet's comfort and long-term health. While no one likes the idea of extractions, they can be life-changing for pets in pain. Removing problem teeth can relieve chronic discomfort and prevent further complications.

Your pet deserves a pain-free smile! 😁 Schedule their dental cleaning today to protect their teeth and health.

We are excited to offer as one of our services at Lone Tree Animal Care Center! Research shows that acupuncture works through modulating the nerve pathways (neuromodulation) by physically interacting with nerve fibers in the skin and underlying tissues. This neuromodulation can result in the release of beneficial chemicals from the brain and spinal cord including opioid-like neurochemicals. It also causes releases, close to the needle, of substances that encourage blood flow to the area, interrupting pain signaling, and releasing trigger points causing painful spasms. Dr. Divis is our certified acupuncture provider and is happy to give your pet a full assessment and set up a treatment plan. Book an appointment with us through the website, our mobile app, or over the phone today!

Veterinary acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment that can help your pet with a variety of conditions, including pain, anxiety, and nausea.

Ma*****na and Your Dog: What You Need to Know 🐾

As ma*****na becomes more accessible, we’re seeing an increase in cases of accidental exposure in pets, especially dogs. Even small amounts of ma*****na, whether ingested directly, through edibles, or secondhand smoke, can cause serious symptoms in dogs.

Signs of Ma*****na Toxicity in Dogs:

🌿Lethargy or extreme drowsiness
🌿Lack of coordination (wobbly walking)
🌿Drooling or vomiting
🌿Dilated pupils or glassy eyes
🌿Tremors or seizures
🌿Increased sensitivity to sound and light

If you suspect your dog has ingested ma*****na, don’t wait. Call us immediately or seek veterinary care. While symptoms can range from mild to severe, prompt treatment ensures your pet gets the care they need.

Safety Tips:

🌿Store ma*****na products securely, just like any medication.
🌿Be mindful of edibles, which may contain other ingredients toxic to dogs (like chocolate or xylitol).
🌿Avoid exposing pets to secondhand smoke.

At Lone Tree Animal Care Center, your pet’s safety is our priority. If you have concerns about ma*****na exposure or notice unusual symptoms in your pet, call us right away. We're here to help. 💚🐕

🌺🎄 Poinsettias: Beautiful, Festive, and... Deliciously Dangerous (to Pets!) 🎄🌺

Your dog sees a snack. Your cat sees a chew toy. But poinsettias? They see DANGER signs! ⚠️ While these holiday beauties might look harmless, they can cause tummy troubles for your furry friends if nibbled.

Symptoms could include mild drooling, vomiting, or diarrhea. Don’t panic—poinsettias are rarely deadly, but they sure can ruin your pet’s holiday spirit (and your carpet). 🐕🐈

Due to their widespread appeal, poinsettias are frequently mass-produced at the end of the year. As a result, they are occasionally grown using harsh pesticides that, if consumed by your cat, can result in serious or fatal harm.

So, here’s the deal:
🌟 Enjoy the poinsettias.
🐾 Keep them out of reach.
😂 Avoid starring in your vet’s “Holiday Pet Mishaps” highlight reel.

Need help or advice? Lone Tree Animal Care Center is here for you! Happy (and safe) holidays! 🎅🎁

Protect Your Pets: Ticks Are Still Active in Omaha in December! 🐾❄️

Last week at Lone Tree Animal Care Center, we had a patient come in with a tick. Yes, even in December! Many pet parents assume that ticks disappear when the temperatures drop, but that’s not entirely true. While freezing weather does slow tick activity, these pests can still thrive during milder winter days, especially in areas with vegetation or leaf litter.

Ticks can carry dangerous diseases like Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis, which can seriously affect your dog’s health. That's why it's crucial to keep your pet on tick prevention all year round. Skipping protection in the colder months could leave your furry friend vulnerable during those unexpected warm spells.

🛡️ Here’s why year-round tick prevention is essential:

🐶 Ticks are resilient: They can become active whenever the temperature rises above 40°F, which happens more often than you'd think, even in winter.
🐶 Prevention is easier than treatment: Treating a tick-borne illness can be costly and stressful for your pet. Consistent prevention is a safer and more affordable option.
🐶 Indoor risks: Ticks can hitch a ride on other animals or even humans, potentially making their way into your home.

Make sure your pet is protected with a veterinarian-recommended tick prevention product. If you’re unsure which one is best, we’re here to help!

Stay proactive, and let’s keep your pets safe from ticks—no matter the season. Call us or visit Lone Tree Animal Care Center to discuss your pet’s prevention plan today. 🐶💚
