Something a little different -and special, today.

We do not do what we do for recognition, or money, or accolades. We really, truly, love animals. We want to see every living creature live a full and healthy life. When we receive a gift like this, it is a beautiful reminder of the role we have had in a loved one's life. We just want you all to know that we're just as grateful that you choose our team to be the one to care for your pets. You help us live out our goal to help animals. Thank you. 🧡

Sylvester has the confidence of a cat 10x his age! Just look at that gaze! We love it when patients feel at home in our "house, " and for those that don't, there are lots of things we can do to help them grow that confidence. Some things we try:
-"Happy" visits (eg. Just stopping on to say, "hello!" and have a treat)
- Use of synthetic canine/ feline pheromones in the car/ in the hospital
- Reggae music for dogs (really!)

And there are more tricks up our sleeves. If you're pet has stress or anxiety about the vet, let's talk about it! We want to help every pet be a cool cat, like Sylvester 😻

Do you know "the thumbnail test?" Not all toys and treats on the market are created equal! The thumbnail test is a way we can help determine which toys and treats should be safer for a pet to chew. Pet oral health is a big part of their overall wellness: stay tuned for future oral health and hygiene posts! And if you've got questions, let us know at your pet's next visit - we love talkin 🦷🪥🧡

Dory's entry into the "Things I Ate and Survived" reels trend -now in hardcover! Soft toys are great because they do not pose a great risk for tooth/ gum injury, but they are not the most durable. Consider putting away soft toys when pets are not supervised, and always let us know asap if you think your pet swallowed part of any toy. (Luckily, Dory knows to leave the stuffing behind on her diary of distruction book tour- good work, Dory!)

Harley after Stem Cell Therapy

Stem Cell Therapy This is Harley, an 11 year old spayed female Golden Retriever, who has been struggling with arthritis for 6 years. Her stiff gait and constant trouble getting around required her to be on pain medications every 8-12 hours for the last 3 years. She was taking Rimadyl, Gabapentin and Tramadol. By the end of 2015 she refused to jump in the car, did not enjoy walks and turned down play time with her younger canine brother. She would even stand in front of the doggy door waiting for someone to open the sliding glass door instead, because the pain of bending down and stepping through the smaller opening was just too great. Harley’s owner decided to pursue stem cell therapy in hopes of improving her quality of life. On 12/8/2015 adipose tissue (fat) was retrieved from her abdominal cavity while under anesthesia. The stem cells from this adipose tissue contain many types of regenerative cells. These samples were sent to a company called “Vet Stem” (http://www.vet-stem.com/), who created 4 joint injections and 1 intravenous injection with the material. On 12/11/2015 Harley again underwent anesthesia and Dr. Sophie Steele injected the stem cell suspensions into Harley’s carpi and stifle joints (elbows and knees). One injection was given intravenously to allow the stem cells to travel to wherever Harley needed it most. Thanks to the procedure Harley got her fire back. She has not needed the same pain medications she needed every 8-12 hours since about 2-3 weeks after the injections. She jumps in the car more readily, asking for help only some of the time. She keeps up with her younger brother on walks and wrestles and chases him around the house and yard. She is also easily able to stand up from laying down, rarely limping after she has been down for extensive periods of time. Her energy level has soared. Vet Stem cells can be used to treat osteoarthritis, orthopedic soft tissue injuries, polyarthritis and fractures. The therapy involves two anesthet
