Colorado’s Dr. Andrea Palchak, a distinguished veterinarian and lifelong animal lover, shares her thoughts in The Denver Gazette on the dangers posed by Proposition 129. This misleading and misguided ballot measure is attempting to circumvent the experts and establish the position of a Veterinary Professional Associate (VPA), someone who would be able to perform surgery on animals with little education and minimal hands-on training.

Great reminder about what Leptospirosis is and why we vaccinate for this disease in our mountain environment!

Leptospirosis is a potentially fatal disease that can be transmitted to all mammals, including humans, through wildlife urine. This disease can most often be found in areas that wildlife frequent, such as streams or trails. If you take your pet on hikes frequently or have wildlife on your property, vaccinating against Leptospirosis is a good idea.

The most common carriers of Leptospirosis in Montana are deer, elk, cattle, rodents, and racoons. If you have any questions about whether this lifestyle vaccine is right for you and your pet, give us a call and we will be happy to answer any of your questions!

Our cat Sunny has been missing for about a week. We are located across from the Steamboat Airport near Game Trails. She’s very scared of all things in this world and rarely leaves our yard/deck. She is microchipped, 8 lbs petite, and is greatly missed. Please let me know if anyone sees her!

Hello, I’m Dexter! I was brought in after my owner passed away, so am now looking for a new home. I love people though the old man in me can’t resist yelling at people to get off my lawn when they approach. I quickly warm up and love to get chin and head scratches and treatos! I did used to live with another cat but I prefer to be alone with my human, receiving all the love. I have opted out of every cat interaction, much preferring to snuggle into my bed, or watch from above. I am looking for a home that can give me plenty of attention, wants to hear all the current events that I see going on outside the window, and can give me plenty of time to nap! If you are looking for a sweet middle-aged kitty to snuggle on your lap, follow you around and meow at you with my raspy voice, and feed broth and churu ice cubes, come adopt me today!
