🚨 Important Update from Brookfield Veterinary Hospital 🚨

This morning, we briefly had power, but we are now unable to operate at full capacity due to ongoing power issues. Unfortunately, we lost all vaccines and Librela during the outage and have not regained full functionality at the hospital.

We are monitoring email for urgent requests and have a call center available to receive your calls and take messages. Our team is working closely with the power company to resolve this situation, but the flickering power is causing additional technical difficulties.

For emergencies, we recommend visiting ervetfinder.com to locate the nearest emergency veterinary services.

We deeply appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to get back up and running as soon as possible. Thank you for trusting us with your pets’ care!

We are trying to send updates as we have them via email as well. 💙

🚨‼️ Important Notice to Our Clients ‼️🚨

Due to power outages and unsafe driving conditions, Brookfield Vet Hospital will be CLOSED today, November 20th.

If you and your pet need immediate assistance, please visit ervetfinder.com to find the nearest urgent or emergency veterinarian.

We hope everyone is staying safe through the storms, and we will reopen for normal business hours tomorrow morning.

👻🐾 What to Be Aware of This Spooky Season 🐾🎃

As Halloween approaches, it's essential to keep your pets safe and healthy. Here are some important things to be mindful of during this festive time:

🍬Candy Dangers: Keep all candies and treats out of reach. Chocolate and xylitol (found in sugar-free products) can be toxic to pets.

🍬Hazardous Decorations: Be cautious with decorations like fake spider webs or small trinkets that pets might chew on or ingest. Opt for pet-friendly decor!

🍬Costume Safety: If you decide to dress up your pet, ensure the costume is safe and doesn’t restrict their movement or vision. Always monitor them while they’re in costume.

🍬Halloween Plants: Keep an eye on plants like pumpkins and decorative corn, which can cause stomach upset if ingested.

🍬Open Doors: With trick-or-treaters coming and going, it’s easy for pets to escape. Ensure all exits are secure to prevent them from running out.

🍬Fire Safety: Be cautious with candles and other open flames used for decorations. They can pose a fire risk if knocked over by curious pets.

🍬Noise Sensitivity: Prepare for the sounds of the season. The doorbell and excited voices can be overwhelming for some pets. A safe space can help them feel secure.

Stay vigilant and keep your furry friends safe this Halloween! If you have any questions or concerns, reach out to us at Brookfield Veterinary Hospital. Wishing everyone a fun and safe spooky season! 🐶🐱🍬

🎃👻 Meet Arlo, one of our amazing staff pets, ready to help you keep your furry friends safe this Halloween! Here are three tips to ensure your pets have a spook-tacular and safe holiday:

🍬Keep Candy Out of Reach: Halloween treats can be tempting, but chocolate and certain candies are toxic to pets. Make sure to store them in a secure place!

🍬Beware of Decorations: Some decorations, like fake cobwebs and small objects, can be hazards for curious pets. Keep these items out of reach to avoid choking or digestive issues.

🍬Safe Space: With all the doorbell ringing and excitement, create a quiet space for your pets to retreat to. This can help reduce anxiety and keep them calm during the festivities.

Did you know 40% of dogs and cats experience some level of pain due to Osteoarthritis
(OA)?
OA is arthritis that occurs when tissue in the joints is worn down, causing bones to rub
against one another. Pain from OA can decrease your pet’s willingness to play or exercise.
Take the Pain Checklist quiz to see if they could be showing signs of OA:

If you suspect your pet may have signs of OA, please contact us so we can help them feel
their very best!

*UPDATE* There has been a significant revision to the CDC guidelines for Canine travel into the United States from low-risk Rabies Countries.

Starting on August 1, 2024, dogs entering or returning to the United States that have been only in dog rabies-free or low-risk countries in the past 6 months must meet the following requirements: be healthy and complete the CDC Dog Import Form.

Please visit https://www.cdc.gov/importation/dogs/rabies-free-low-risk-countries.html for more information and to access the Import Form.

There are four requirements for dogs that have ONLY been in countries that are dog-rabies free or lo

**MORE ON NEW CDC GUIDELINES FOR CANINE TRAVEL
Recently, we sent an email to all of our clients regarding the new import requirements to gain entry back into the US if you are taking your dog out of the country (this includes Mexico and Canada). Please understand that it is a legal requirement by the CDC, not a Brookfield policy.
To help better prepare you for this change starting August 1, 2024, please make sure your dog passes the checklist for creating the “Certification of U.S.-Issued Rabies Vaccine form”:

1- Must be 6 months of age or older
2- Must have an iso compliant Microchip
3- Must have a valid Rabies vaccine, performed after the Microchip implantation
a. If your pet does not have a microchip we will have to revaccinate, and the paperwork cannot be submitted until 28 days after the new Rabies vaccine
4- Must have a current and valid exam with Brookfield veterinary Hospital
a. This means within the previous 12 months for dogs 8 years
5- If your pet received their Rabies vaccine elsewhere, we will need all previous records ahead of time and a copy of the last 5 years of Rabies certificates
6- If you have traveled to any “high risk” countries listed in the DogBot within the last 6 months, we will need to arrange additional time for paperwork
7- You will be required to submit the import form (separate from the Certification of U.S.-Issued Rabies Vaccine form) on your own

Please give us at least 30 days PRIOR to travel so we can arrange the appropriate exam, vaccine, and paperwork. Once the paperwork is complete, it can take 2-4 weeks for official endorsement through the USDA. If it is required to repeat vaccination to comply with the regulations, plan at least an additional 2 weeks to coordinate.
Additionally, please be aware that depending upon the circumstance of your travel, there may be different fees and charges associated with your pet's visit.

Today's Party in the Park to celebrate Old Dog Haven's 20 years of senior dog rescue was a blast!

We were so happy to see so many people and their dogs, enjoying our party.

HUGE THANKS to everyone who worked so hard to make this a fun filled day.

We are so grateful to all of our sponsors who made this party possible, your support is so appreciated!

Thanks to everyone who donated items for our auction and everyone who donated towards our fundraiser.

This moment today at the party made us remember why we rescue. This is R***r and his Old Dog Haven Final Refuge foster. This was R***r's foster's first time attending an event as an Old Dog Haven foster. She told us she had attended our yearly event before, with her now passed-on senior dogs. She told us after they had passed on she applied to join our network of homes and when she saw R***r's post to find an Old Dog Haven home, she knew she wanted him to join her. You can feel the love between the two of them.

There is nothing more rewarding than seeing an old dog flourish with much-needed vet care, a home, and love.

Thank you all so very much for your support.
