Our rescue program typically only works with cats, but we could no longer watch this poor injured tractor suffer! Thank you to our kind staff for taking pity on the poor thing and providing the supportive care it desperately needed! ❤️

This poor old lady was found in serious condition this afternoon on Bluff Street in Palouse. She’s desperately seeking her owners! Please call us here at (509) 592-8073 or Whitman County Humane Society at (509) 332-3422 right away if you know this sweet baby!

It’s gonna be a hot week! Time to think about hot weather pet care. Make sure your outdoor pets have lots of fresh water and a shady place to lounge. Be extra diligent about not leaving pets in hot cars. If you can’t rest the inside of your wrist on the sidewalk/pavement/etc for at least 5 seconds, it’s too hot for paws! Finally, if you have a “squish face” dog like a pug, bully breed, or boxer, they can be at risk of serious overheating with more than just even a few minutes outside in this heat. Be careful, and stay cool!

Hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of July evening! Make sure to tuck those pups into bed early in a safe comfy space, away from the noise, food, and fireworks!

There are a few upcoming out of office days for Dr. Andi and our awesome TLC staff. Please plan accordingly for medication and pet food pick up!

June 28 and July 1st Dr. Andi is out of the office, but a staff member will be available to take calls and help you with food and meds.

July 4th and 5th TLC is closed so that our entire staff can take a well deserved holiday break to rest and recharge!

As always thank you for being the best and most understanding clients a vet clinic could ever hope to have!

Unfortunately I’m seeing this false information being shared all over the place on social media lately. This advice is completely against recommendations by veterinary critical care specialists. According to guidelines published by The American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care’s Veterinary Committee on Trauma (Vet-COT), cold water immersion is the best way to treat otherwise young healthy overheated dogs and evaporative cooling (wetting with cold water while using a fan to evaporate the water) is best to treat older or unhealthy overheated dogs. If these options aren’t available, it is 100% ok to use soaked cold towels to cover the dog! Just keep changing the towel, as it does no good when it warms or dries! Start the cooling process immediately while you call your vet, and continue intensive cooling on your way to the vet. Think “cool first, then transport.” Every minute the dog remains overheated is dangerous! Here are links to two excellent articles to read and share instead of the garbage information in the graphic below!

Fireworks are a fun part of the 4th of July for a lot of people! To many pets though, they can cause a lot of upset and anxiety. If your pet has loud noise anxiety, now is the time to call us for fireworks anxiety meds, not July 3rd. Some pets need to come in and see us before we can legally dispense these meds, so definitely call right away just in case your pet needs an appointment before the beginning of July! (509) 592-8073. 💥

Dr. Andi will be out of the office starting Thursday 5/23 at noon in order to cheer on the Gar-Pal Track and Field team at State! We will have a staff member available to help you with appointment scheduling, and food and med pick up Thursday and Friday but will be completely closed on Memorial Day. Have a safe and lovely weekend everyone!
