🦃 Happy Thanksgiving from Central Animal Hospital! 🦃

We want to wish everyone a joyful and safe Thanksgiving. Please note that we will be closed on Thursday, but we will return to our regular hours on Friday. As always, emergency services are available for our regular patients.

As we celebrate, let's keep our furry friends safe and off the "Naughty" list. Here are some important reminders:

🚫 Keep People Food Away from Pets 🚫

Chocolate: Toxic to dogs and cats. All chocolate should be off-limits.

Sweets and Baked Goods: May contain xylitol, which is harmful to pets.

Table Scraps: Including gravy, sauces, dressing, meat or poultry fat, onions, raisins, and grapes. These can be toxic or harmful.

The list of troublesome foods is long, even though they look yummy. If you have any questions, please call us. Remember, prevention is the best medicine.

Stay safe and enjoy the holiday! 🐶🐱

It is official; we have been reaccredited again. As best as we can recall, we first went through the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) standards accreditation in the fall of 2001. This was our eighth successful accreditation. To learn more about what it means, go to AAHA.org.

Jessica and Dr Kratt met yesterday to discuss everything we are working on and have in the pipeline. Jessica is the Practice Manager at Central Animal Hospital. At the end of last year and the start of this year, we teamed up with Peak Veterinary Consulting to evaluate what we do and why we do it. It resulted in Jess doing numerous protocol overhauls, new communication platforms, new safer DEA protocols and controls, instituting ScribeNote, overhauling our OSHA protocols and training, AAHA recertification, and a new website ready to go live. Whew, there is more coming, but we won't be there. It is Veterinary Manager Appreciation Week, but we don't wait once a year to appreciate Jess.

Thanks, Jess

I want to take a moment to thank Linda, one of our CVTs. This does not involve specific patient care but, more importantly, all patient care, staff training, and protocols. Over the last year, she performed a self-evaluation of American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) standards for Central Animal Hospital. She led the whole team through the process, culminating yesterday with our on-site evaluation. We will have our results revealed next week after our Radiology unit gets its regular inspection from the State of Wisconsin, but we are confident.

It takes a whole team to be successful, and each individual plays a role.

Animal hospitals around the world earn AAHA accreditation to strengthen their business, advance their team, and provide the best possible care to companion animals.

Her Royal Majesty Soca, requests that your furry friends be kept safe tonight while ghosts and goblins visit. Also, secure your treasure tonight in a safe place, as chocolate, sugar, and other sweets are bad for her loyal subjects.

Nola knows she is the Great Pumpkin. Just ask her. She is ready to go out Trick-or-Treating today to score the goods with her class "A" wiggles. She also wants you to keep your furry friends and kids safe today.

Welpen has his German outfit on today. The Kratt's may have been the Festmaster and Frau of Oktoberfest USA, but German heritage runs in his blood. Prost and give him lots of treats today and every day.

Don't let him kid you. He is easily distracted by Churu treats

Norman is watching over the Metropolis of Central Animal Hospital today, guarding against trickster.

It's one of the sweetest days of the year for humans - 🍫. Maybe not so much for your pet, though (especially your dog).

Chocolate toxicity is one of the most commonly treated toxicities in dogs, particularly during the holiday seasons. This chart spells out which types of chocolate are the most toxic.
