Itchy ear problems?? 👂
We can fix those! Itchy ears can be caused by a multitude of factors. Some of the most common cases we see are caused by ear mites or yeast (pictured under the microscope in the last 2 images).
Ear mites can be transferred between animals and people. Whereas yeast is typically a result of a warm, damp environment. Therefore ye**ty ears are more common in dogs/cats with long hair, or that are frequent swimmers/bathers.
If your cat or dog is having some itchy ears give us a call and we can talk about cleaning protocol or scheduling an appointment to see what the underlying issue is!

Ever wonder what we do when the day is slow?? Well on this particular day we got a request from a client to fix her dogs toy after playing a bit too ruff😂
Our lovely Dr. Purucker stood up the challenge and preformed a tail amputation. Luckily we were able to save the day😅
Jokes aside be sure to contact us for all your surgical inquiries and questions! We offer a wide range of procedures including spay/neuter, dental extractions, foreign body surgery, gastropexy, brachycephalic obstructive airway correction, cherry eye removal, cystotomy, and much more!

We love spending time cuddling our patients whenever we get the chance! This is Clara a regular visitor of our clinic for both appointments and just to hangout. We love Clara and her mom, Char 💕
Stopping by the vet when your pet does not need shots or treatment can be a good way to build their confidence and associate the vet with happy memories. Plus we will never complain about free dog hugs and kisses 😚

Ever wondered what we are looking for when we request a stool sample? 🔬💩
Pictured here is some roundworm eggs under the microscope. This is an example of one of many parasites we screen for in what we call a f***l floatation. This parasite can enter your pet through ingestion of soil or stool containing the roundworms.
Symptoms of f***l parasites include vomiting and diarrhea. A good preventative measure for roundworms and other f***l parasites is keeping up on your monthly prevention like Interceptor or Milbeguard.

*not all prevention covers every kind of parasite, make sure to read the label to see what it treats.

Did you know that pumpkin can be a very nutritional treat for dogs? 🎃😋
Not only do many dogs enjoy the taste of pumpkin it can provide some health benefits as well! Pumpkin is full of fiber and can help with your furry friends digestion.
Be sure to only give your dog plain pumpkin with no additives or sweeteners. Also don’t give them the skin or seeds of a pumpkin. Those can cause digestive issues.
During this holiday season try adding some puréed pumpkin to your dogs meal or freeze some in ice cube trays for a tasty treat!

UPDATE - Dr. Kellie and our other new team members have gotten quickly up to speed and are currently serving our clients and their pets. We couldn't be happier with their performance so far and our clients seem to agree. As a result, we're currently accepting new clients and their pets. Some same day appointments might be available. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome you've given these new staff members. Thanks also for your business.
