“It’s peanut butter - jelly time!” 🥜🍇
But wait! Peanut Butter can be a great tool for hiding meds, distracting during nail trims and baths, and keeping busy in a Kong. It can also have some hidden hazards that pose great risks.

Pets and Anesthesia 🐾🦷
"We utilize general anesthesia for a variety of procedures, such as dental cleanings and extractions. Unfortunately, our pets don’t understand the help we are trying to provide, so by utilizing anesthesia we are able to safely assess and treat any underlying issues. We are able to perform a thorough oral exam, take full mouth X-rays, scale and polish all teeth, and treat any underlying diseases. Before any anesthetic procedure, we take all precautions to ensure the safety of your pet - this includes a complete physical exam, pre-operative lab work to assess several cell lines and organ function, and an electrocardiogram to look for heart arrhythmias or abnormalities. Also, did you know there is a staff member dedicated to closely monitoring vitals on your pet during the ENTIRE procedure? Our general anesthesia protocol is designed to provide the utmost safety for your pet and keep them as healthy as possible!" - Dr. Windon
We prioritize the safety and well being of your furry family member, and use every precaution when anesthesia is needed.
