Dog Ear Care
Dog ear care 👂
While it may be necessary to bring your dog in due to issues with the ear, routine ear cleaning can easily be done at home.
Check out this video where Dr. Kinney shows you how easy this can be done.
Hydrotherapy for Pets
Veterinary facilities are increasingly using these partially-enclosed, temperature-controlled treadmills, also called aquatic treadmills, to customize a healing program for your pet’s size and injury or arthritis. Water has the power to soften your pet’s arthritic or damaged tissues, hug your pet with warmth, challenge your pet’s heart and lungs with water’s natural resistance. Meanwhile, this new hydrotherapy reduces the impact on your pooch’s injured and aging body.

We recently had a dog test positive for heartworm.
Our doctors (along with a 4th-year veterinary student visiting) took a quick video through a microscope of the baby heartworm(s), or microfilaria, in the blood smear.
These baby heartworms can reach a foot in length if left untreated. Heartworm preventatives are key to stopping this from happening and kills heartworm at the microfilaria stage before your pet shows any symptoms of infection.
If you have any questions, give our office a call. We are always more than happy to help.

CANINE HYDROTHERAPY
THE SCOOP ON HYDROTHERAPY
Why does water matter for a pet? Remember RICE- Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation, the common first treatment for injury or pain. Most pets need a program and therapist to employ similar benefits. First, your vet may recommend the short rest and recovery. After a period of rest, when a dog still refuses to move, the use of water submersion in a water treadmill hugs like compression support, reduces the impact of gravity like elevation, and offers temperature-controlled like ice, to speed up reduction of inflammation and increase of circulation and flexibility.
TREADMILL HYDROTHERAPY
We're excited to introduce the newest model of H20 For Fitness© Oasis line of water treadmills to our clinic! This premier water system represents the best in the field of rehabilitation through hydrotherapy and can also be used for fitness training and weight control for canines other small animals/ pets. The natural buoyancy of water assists in a low impact but high intensity work out. This is especially important in cases of patients in the ‘recovery’ mode. With adjustable water temperature and water level, the Oasis makes rehab, fitness training, or weight control a relaxing experience.
