🐾 Attention, all dog lovers! 🐾
Heartworm prevention isn't just a recommendation—it's a MUST for our furry friends! 💔🐶
Check out this eye-opening video showing microfilaria, the tiny heartworm larvae, which can develop into a major threat to our dogs' health. 😱
Why is heartworm prevention so crucial? Let me break it down:
1️⃣ **Heartworm Disease**: These pesky parasites, transmitted through mosquito bites, can wreak havoc on a dog's heart and lungs, leading to severe health issues and even death if left untreated.
2️⃣ **Costly Treatment**: Treating heartworm disease is not only emotionally draining but also financially burdensome. Prevention is far less expensive than the extensive treatment required to rid a dog of heartworms.
3️⃣ **Pain and Discomfort**: Infected dogs may suffer from coughing, fatigue, weight loss, and difficulty breathing. It's heartbreaking to watch our beloved pets endure such pain.
4️⃣ **Long-term Health Effects**: Even if successfully treated, heartworm disease can leave lasting damage to a dog's organs, impacting their quality of life.
5️⃣ **Preventive Measures are Simple**: Thankfully, preventing heartworms is relatively easy with regular medication prescribed by your vet. A simple monthly pill or topical treatment can keep your furry friend safe.
Let's prioritize our pups' health and well-being by staying vigilant with heartworm prevention! ❤️

🐾🏥 Supporting our furry friends through every step of their recovery journey! 🐾💪
Did you know that rehabilitation therapy plays a crucial role in helping our beloved pups regain strength and mobility, post orthopedic surgery? One of the valuable tools Holly uses here at Green Prairie Animal Hospital is cavaletti poles, and let us tell you—they're paw-some! 🐕💼
Cavaletti poles are incredibly beneficial for our canine companions during rehab therapy. These adjustable poles help improve coordination, balance, and proprioception, making them ideal for dogs recovering from orthopedic procedures! 🐾🏋️♂️
By incorporating Cavaletti pole exercises into our rehabilitation programs, we're able to tailor treatment plans to suit each dog's unique needs, ensuring a smoother and faster recovery process. Plus, it's a whole lot of fun for our furry patients! 🎉🐶
At Green Prairie Animal Hospital, we're dedicated to providing comprehensive care that goes above and beyond. From surgery to rehab therapy, we're here to support your pet every step of the way. 🩺❤️

Check out this cool video of our staff explaining what being a FEAR FREE practice is all about!
Being FEAR FREE certified means we do what's best for the pet every time!
Their physical and emotional wellbeing have alot to do with each other. So if an animal is stressed, their cortisol levels can rise.
Our patients will have repeated visits throughout their lifetime, it just makes it a much more enjoyable experience for pet, owner, and the staff!

Bink the sphynx really enjoyed the hot dogs treats today and couldn’t get enough of them!
It’s coming to be that time of year again! The much anticipated 4th of July! Great celebrations, fireworks, barbecues, you name it! But…some pets may dread this time of year. It can be a source of fear and anxiety.
Katalina tells us how we can create a “safe space” for our more anxious pets. Research shows cats prefer the color purple to soothe them, dogs prefer green. Also, reinforcing anxious behavior by holding your pet can be counterproductive, instead, have your pet sit next to you or place them in their safe space.
If you have an anxious pet and need help managing their anxiety, please give us a call!
Meet Toast! She came in to see us and is very, very pregnant! Ultrasounds help Dr. Allie not only determine if an animal is pregnant, but also help determine their size and even how many. To learn more about ultrasounds, click here: https://bit.ly/3WzZniy
