Gordo came to Options Veterinary Care to have a suspicious lump on his shoulder looked at. His person, Jessica, told us he recently had a vaccine, so when Dr. Jim examined him, he suspected it may be a reaction to it. He said it should go away, and to keep us posted and as of now, no news is good news!

Vaccines are so important for our pets, but just like anything, there are side effects and reactions. It's always good to keep an eye on your pet after anything medically is done just like Jessica did with Gordo!

Monkey is an incredibly cute 4-month-old pup who needed his vaccines so his person could keep him. She is currently utilizing an assisted housing program. Her appointment was funded by Washoe County Regional Animal Services which ensures that all pets entering shelters are current on vaccines. In addition, we provided free vaccines thanks to Petco Love. Programs like this are in place to keep pets and their together, and we are so thankful we could offer this to Monkey.

Wrigley is an adorable 8-year-old Golden Retriever and best friend to his two people. Recently, he visited Options Veterinary Care for the first time. He was very excited to be here! His family made the appointment to check out a mass on his back. Next week is the surgery with Dr. Brad to have it removed. Send your good vibes to sweet, playful Wrigley!

Jodi was concerned about Mister, her 12-year-old dog, not being very active. She made an appointment at Options Veterinary Care for a quality-of-life exam. He did have a heart murmur, so Dr. Jim adjusted his heart medication, but otherwise, besides needing to have a few teeth extracted, Mister was looking good! Jodi was relieved for the news and thanks to our affordable services, was able to pay the bill in full without any financial aid.

This summer we hosted two dog behavior and dog park safety presentations. Certified Animal Behaviorist Kelley Bollen shared how to understand dog body language, spot and stop the potential for dog fights before they happen (and break them up safely), and other ways to socialize your dog beyond going to a dog park. Below is the link to view it, and please, share, too! 🐕‍🦺

This is a recording of the Dog Behavior and Park Safety Presentation from September 2024 in Reno, NV. Certified Animal Behaviorist Kelley Bollen will share...

Ginger is a 3-year-old chihuahua who has been a client of Options Veterinary Care since 2022. Her owner Kathy was concerned about a mass that had developed on Ginger's abdomen and brought her in to be checked out. Dr. Jim examined Ginger and recommended removal while the mass was it was still small enough, ensuring that we were able to get good margins. Ginger's surgery was successful, she recovered well, and, thanks to our affordable services, her parents were able to pay for everything in full!

Charlie is an adorable 10-month-old Yorkie who came to Options Veterinary Care recently to be neutered. He had some laser therapy post surgery before going home because of some bruising at the surgery site, and then came back for a second laser treatment the following day. Poor guy, his skin was sensitive! The laser helped tremendously and Charlie is doing well now, and his person Jimmy, was very grateful and able to cover the cost of our affordable services entirely on his own!

Thank you so much to all of you who donated to Agador's fundraiser for Options Veterinary Care. The funds you helped raise $1,565 will help dogs and cats who need vet care at Options that their people cannot afford.

Agador (and his brother Freddie) thank you for your generosity.

Help us say THANK YOU to these amazing people and organizations!

Last week The WASH Foundation hosted a Volunteer Action Event in Reno, at the Silver Legacy Resort Casino Reno, in partnership with Caesars Foundation. Their goal was to bring community organizations together while engaging the Caesars Hero Volunteer program and celebrating the combined efforts of the good work being done in multiple communities. Options Veterinary Care was invited to participate - and we are so thankful! The volunteers put together 100 bags of dog food and 100 bags of cat food, each with a toy and contact information for Options nonprofit clinic so that we can give them out to pet parents in need. It was a beautiful, fun day, and we are proud to have been selected to benefit from such a great event! 🐶🐱

Agador Spartacus is so grateful to you for your support of his fundraising efforts for Options Veterinary Care nonprofit clinic! https://www.mightycause.com/story/F6fb7g He is close to reaching his goal and hopes that you will help spread the word by sharing the link to his fundraising page.

He is dedicated to his daily pledge or playing and catnapping. You can see him trying to enlist his brother (by adoption) Armand in playing by sneaking up on him. While his buddies do not play with the same exuberance of Agador - everyone is on board with a good cozy catnap!

Big thanks to the Reno Riverwalk District for hosting the 13th annual Halloween Hollow this past Saturday! Options Veterinary Care was there to judge the pet costume contest and donations benefitted our nonprofit clinic! We had a great time seeing everyone in costume, two and four-legged, and saying hello to clients.

Britton Griffith Kristen Floyd and Nicole Theodoulou helped raise awareness for Options through this event, and we are so thankful!

Thank you so much for your kind donations to Agador's fundraising efforts for Options Veterinary Care! Just $679 to go and he will have reached his goal! Would you share this post and ask friends and family to check out his fundraising page? https://www.mightycause.com/story/F6fb7g

Agador Spartacus worked on his pledge today - napping and playing - especially with his favorite duck toy as you can see in his photos below!

Carrie, our clinic manager, is on track to embarrass herself with not one but *two* dances. If she hits the $2,000 fundraising benchmark, she'll do one of those in costume! She's SO close! 😹 It's all for the Walk for Animals, a virtual event for Options' nonprofit clinic to help dogs and cats receive much-needed veterinary care.
Carrie admits she does not like nor can she dance, so this is true sel-humiliation all for the good of charity! 😹 She's seen here on the right, with fellow staffer Pat (who will for sure be laughing behind the camera!)

Hurry! Donate to her fundraiser today! The link is below!
