Today is - a day to bring awareness and educate about healthy lifestyles for our beloved pets.

Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight can reduce your pet’s risk of disease and injury and gives them the best chance of a long, healthy, quality life. Your veterinarian can help you determine whether your pet’s weight is healthy and can work with you to develop a weight management plan based on your pet’s individual needs.

🐱 This is how we feel after the conclusion of this week and Feral Feline Frenzy….like Suli here, it’s time to rest but we feel like we accomplished a great deal with your help!

🐈‍⬛ We cannot thank all those who brought or caught feral, farm or barn cats this week and may or may not have the scratches to show it!

🐈 The purpose of it all is to reduce the overpopulation of outdoor cats and therefore reduce illness in these cats and especially avoid sick litters of kittens before going into colder temperatures. At the end, resulting in healthier cats. Period.

🏆 So here is our trivia - the top 2 closest answers will receive our giveaway (TBD) and announced Monday!

⭐️ How many cats in total did we have this week for the clinic?

Fun bonus: How many neuters/ Male cats? How many spays/ female cats?

AND GO! 🐈

We said goodbye to Shelbi because she found her new home this week! She will reside near Lincoln and we couldn’t be happier that she found a great person and home 🐾 We were fortunate to be able to help her because we often don’t have enough space or resources as a clinic. It is nice that we could reach out to different rescues that had other contacts to get word out.

Below: Claire and Kate got to help when we visited Shelbi on the weekends to feed and walk her with our dogs. 😊

08/29/2024

➡️Clinic Hours Change: We will be back to fall/ winter hours next week on Tuesday!

08/26/2024

As we approach this coming weekend, please note the office will be closed Friday afternoon as well as Monday, in recognition of Labor Day.

Dr. Giffin will be available for emergencies.

08/21/2024

Shelbi update: she has now recovered from her spay procedure 10 days ago. Over the last 2 weeks we have found she adores kids. She does warm up to other dogs given a slow introduction as well as time to get used to them.

But she loves and lives to please people! She is doing great on a leash and is used to being kenneled. Shelbi also makes a great walking or running partner. This girl is ready to meet her new family and go to her forever home so she can start living her best life!

If interested in meeting Shelbi, you can Facebook message or call the office to set up a time. It can be after hours or something that might work for your schedule. She should meet potential other dogs that are in or at the home!

08/20/2024

At the end of July we got our silencer chute scale assembled at the clinic! 🙌

We are ready to precondition and wean calves followed by preg checks right around the corner. We are still able to come to you as well with our portable Titan West, but this is a much needed add on that we are very happy with for in clinic haul-ins.

Big shout out to the assembly crew, you know who you are and we couldn’t have done it without you!

This is Shelbi and she has stolen our hearts at the clinic. She is a silver Labrador who we will be working with and preparing to find the perfect home for. She deserves it.

Though she was initially very timid, she is starting to settle in and trust us. She is breaking out of her shell. She will be getting spayed next week and among other things, we will introduce her to more people and places, other dogs (slowly)- all things to get her more socialized. She is 6.5 years and a healthy active girl.

She has been improving on a leash with walks and runs with very little pull. She has met the clinic cat, Roadie, but their interactions are closely supervised as she does not know not to be rough with her play.

Her placement with the right home and/or family will be a process that will include 2 references with one being a veterinary reference. Additional information can be requested by calling our office: Monday- Friday during office hours.

We are excited to keep working with Shelbi and to see all she can do and learn!

We housed these two kittens this week for a couple days!
They were abandoned and the sheriff who found them asked if we could check them over. They were pretty healthy and given a full exam and dewormer.
After given the “go ahead” to rehome, it didn’t take long and they found a family who had heard about them before we could even get them posted!

Thought we would share their cuteness and the happy outcome for them! 🐾

🐾 Here is Thor to brighten your Monday!!
He is a 12 week old Pomeranian that came to visit for his vet check and vaccinations! 🐾

☀️ Thor is not excited about this heat and humidity. Dogs and especially puppies and senior pets are at higher risk of heat stress and heat stroke. But it is a risk with any pet that is left out in these hot conditions without appropriate fresh water and chances to get out of the heat.

☀️ We suggest offering your pets more fresh water for opportunities to keep them cool, shaded areas and or keeping them in the AC. If you travel with them, please take them with you when you leave the car.

☀️ Remember to utilize early morning or late evening hours for activities and exercise, especially because those black top surfaces can get super hot on their pads and cause burns.

Should you need us or have questions please call our office 308-452-4409

Let’s help our pets live longer, healthier lives!
👍

Overweight dogs and cats have a reduced life expectancy compared to an active pet who is at an ideal weight! 👀

Raise your hands: How many of you give your pets “free choice” food- available all day every day? 🙋🏻‍♂️ ….
And- how many of you give your pet a meal only once or twice daily and stick to recommended volume? 🙋🏼…..

How many do or do not give humane table foods…? 👀 if you do- don’t tell your vet!

These can be the first steps needed in pet weight reduction as well as placing an overweight pet on a weight reduction diet!

Below is a chart to help categorize your pet’s weight as well as a link diving into more information.

Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight reduces your pet’s risk of disease and injury.
