Happy Veterinary Technician Week! We may be a week late, but we still love our technicians and they deserve all the praise and celebration possible! Please help us in thanking all our wonderful veterinary technicians when you come in this week. Each day will have a different theme for our staff to dress up as. So if you see staff in different clothes, ask which fun day it is and feel free to share your gratitude for their wonderful work!
We also use this week to raise money for the Hercules Animal Fund! If you’re able, this non profit organization would greatly appreciate your donations to help save animals.

Happy Vet Tech Appreciation Week 🥳

As a reminder, starting the week of August 12th our Urgent Care location at: 12447 South Crossing Dr, suite 7, in Riverton Utah will now be open Monday-Friday 8am-6pm.

We are so excited about the increased appointment options and availability that this will provide the community! To celebrate the transition of Urgent Care moving from being open 3 days a week to 5 days a week, Copper View Animal Hospital will be sharing a few posts over the next few weeks providing you with a behind the scenes look at how our Urgent Care center works to support our clients and patients.

This picture is of our “White Board” and is one of the ways our veterinary professionals track the patients coming into our Urgent Care location. It allows our treatment team to see at a glance the names of the patients and the order to be treated based off of the patient’s arrival time and the severity of their medical concerns.

The colored dots are magnets that allow us to track the progress of a patient’s treatment:

—The green dots indicate that the patient’s concerns have been addressed and that they are ready to go home

—The red dots indicate that a patient is currently undergoing examination and treatment

—The yellow dots indicate that the patient’s medical concerns may require them to be examined sooner than their arrival order would originally have them placed. This may occur for a number of reasons such as the patient being severely ill, is afflicted with a contagious disease, their emotional state is negatively impacting their condition, etc.

This is just one example of the many methods our veterinary professionals use to help our patients receive the care and treatment they need, and to do so in a timely manner.

After all, one of the primary goals at Copper View Animal Hospital is to help your furry family members feel better as soon as possible so that they can get back to making loving memories with you.

We look forward to serving you and your furry family members!

We were able to celebrate several of our employee's birthdays and the onset of Summer with a Hotdog Birthday Luncheon. A fun way to recognize the hard working staff of Copper View Animal Hospital!

We hope you are all enjoying the beautiful weather we have been having!

It is going to get HOT starting tomorrow, which puts your dogs at risk for heatstroke. Heatstroke is a very serious emergency and can be fatal.

The dogs most at risk for suffering from heatstroke are dogs with a shortened nose (frenchies, pugs), senior dogs, dogs with lung disease or heart disease, overweight dogs, and dogs with thick coats.

Symptoms of heatstroke can include excessive panting, gasping, drooling, bright red gums, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, seizure, and collapse.

If you suspect your dog has suffered heatstroke wet them with cool or lukewarm water. Do not use cold water or ice packs! Do not put alcohol on their pads and don’t wrap them in towels. Get them wet, and turn on the air conditioner or open the windows. Seek veterinary care ASAP. This is a true emergency….dont wait!

In order to prevent heatstroke do not leave your dog in a car or other enclosed spaces on hot days. Leaving the windows cracked is NOT sufficient. Keep animals inside on hot days and make sure they have plenty of shade and water at all times when they are outside. Do not perform rigorous exercise when it is hot.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

This week we celebrated our amazing receptionists at Copper View with a spirit week! Thursday was “throw back day” and as you can see some went waaaay back. 😁

In all seriousness our receptionists are one of the most important parts of our hospital. They often know clients on a first name basis and are constantly handling phone calls, scheduling, messaging, finances, and emotional support of clients.

We are so fortunate to have such an amazing team of hard workers. We ♥️ our receptionists!

These 2 pups are ready for the long sunny days of summer! Here in Utah with our high elevation and long days of sun we want to remind owners to protect your dog’s eyes. Rex Specs and Doggles are great options to protect your dog’s eyes. Dogs can get sun damage to their eyes and some dogs are genetically predisposed to ocular disease that is made worse by sun exposure. If you have questions about ocular disease or reasons to use these products, contact your local veterinarian.

As we head into Easter weekend we want to make sure you keep your kitties safe. Lilies are EXTREMELY toxic to cats. Even a small lick or two of pollen can potentially cause catastrophic acute kidney failure.

Also be careful with Easter grass, ribbons, and string. If cats swallow any of those items they can cause a foreign body obstruction.

Be careful with your dogs too….stay away from chocolate and foods high in fat and sugar.

We hope everyone who celebrates has a safe and amazing Easter!

Today is “answer your cat’s question day”! If only they could speak, we could answer their questions much easier. Mochi here for example gets rather annoyed when dinner is late. We hope you have a wonderful day with your furry friends!
