Did you know diet can be one of the biggest predictors of your dog’s long-term health? 🐾

And sometimes what works for one dog can differ for another. That’s why life stage, breed, and medical history matter just as much as the ingredients on the label.

Want clarity instead of confusion? Our team can help create a plan that’s right for your pup. Ask us about your pet's nutrition at your next visit. 💛

Did you know that how you show up at the vet can make a big difference for your pet's experience?

Some pets feel safest with you right by their side, offering snuggles and treats. Others just need you nearby for moral support.

At Latah Creek AH, we meet pets (and their parents) where they are. Your involvement helps us tailor care, lower stress, and make each exam smoother and safer. 🧡

So tell us which pet parent at the vet you are? Varsity, JV or benchwarmer? 👀

It’s not about doing more, it’s about doing differently. Fear Free care changes the way pets, pet parents, and vet teams experience the vet.

That’s why sharing our mission in The Inlander means so much to us. 💛 We cover how we're rethinking the entire vet experience, from the moment pets walk through our doors to the care they receive on the exam floor.

Fear Free care doesn't start in our clinic. It starts with how your pet learns to participate in their own care, and that can be practiced at home! 🐾

Through Cooperative Care, pets learn to willingly participate, like offering a paw, participating in a chin rest behavior, or sitting calmly instead of being restrained.

This gentle approach builds trust, reduces stress, and makes vet visits safer and more peaceful for everyone. Our mission is to make every visit a trust-building experience, where care feels safe, not forced. 💕

Advocacy starts with observation.
Lip licks, tucked tails, or freezing?
That’s communication, not disobedience.

The more we listen, the safer they feel.
And safer pets = better care. 💛

Some pets need a softer approach to vet visits. 🐾
That’s why we offer exam prep at home, so we can skip stressful steps in-clinic and keep your pet calmer, safer, and happier.

Snap a few pics or take video of their eyes, teeth, skin, or any concerns before you come in, and we’ll review them ahead of time.

Talk to us if you have any questions on determining if your pet might be high FAS and would need to try this option. 💛

Not bad behavior. Just communication.😾

We help you understand what your cat is really trying to say, and how to support them with tools that build safety and trust.

Behavior can change when your cat feels safe.

Trigger stacking = when little stressors pile up until your pet feels overwhelmed. 🌀

At Latah Creek, we don’t wait for that to happen.
We use Fear Free tools to spot stress early and help your pet feel safe from the moment they walk in.

Because real care means supporting the whole experience, not just the exam.
