Offering Pet Food in clinic: Aunt Jeni's Raw Cat and Dog food, Answers Raw Patties/Nibbles (dogs), Long Ride Dawg Food Raw and Cooked (dogs)
01/21/2025
We wanted to give a food update! Since Aunt Jeni's is retiring and we will no longer have those treats or food, we will be working with a new food distributor and have more options available. In the office we will carry Bocce's and Vital Essentials freeze dried single ingredient treats. However, we also will be able to order food, so if your pets are on Green Juju, Carna4, Vital Essentials, etc. Please let us know if you are interested in ordering!
We hope to place our first order late February/early March. The orders will be on a monthly basis.
*We will continue to carry Answers Raw, this now includes cat food!
*We also can create customized diets for pets as well!
The FDA has identified and analyzed adverse events in dogs treated with Librela (bedinvetmab injection).

We use Ozone at Animals First Veterinary Service for many inflammatory conditions in dogs and cats. Recently we had a great case of Prostatitis that responded very quickly to Ozone. Prostatitis causes blood in the urine as well as many other symptoms. The first picture (5/3) is blood in the urine, before Ozone. The second picture (5/20) is after Ozone treatments. This case was treated without antibiotics or any other antiinflammatories ! Just the ozone!

CROWLEY HAS FOUND A HOME!
Hello! It is time for our "office" kitty to find a home of his own! He came in very malnourished and sickly, and he is in better health now! He is roughly 11 months old.
He is very playful and can be a bit rough at times (using his teeth and feet)
He would do best as the only cat in the home (he hisses at a lot of them in the office), but he enjoys playing with cat friendly dogs!
He is very social!
He is on Standard Process feline renal support (his SDMA values were a little elevated) but his urine specific gravity was good!
He is FIV/FeLV negative
He cannot eat Raw food, he doesn't like it and it makes his belly upset.
He is not vaccinated
He will come with his cat tower and toys, litterbox, whatever litter is left, and whatever he has left of his food. He is handling Friskies canned Patte very well.
