West Ridge Animal Health Center is PAWSITIVELY different! Schedule an appointment and you will see a team approach to care in a fear free setting.
๐พ๐ฅ As the Olympics wind down we present to you Skye (one of our team members dog) as the gold medal winner for most proper leg placement when watching you from the hallway! ๐๐
Michael Phelps and Simone Biles may be great at their events, but they'll never have the proper skills that Skye does!!
Honestly - arenโt all pets gold medal winners?
๐พ๐ฅ
We love to hear this kind of positive feedback. ๐๐๐
Here at West Ridge we like to help pets that are old or young. Senior cats have a lot of very specific needs, and weโre happy to work with clients so we can make their catsโ lives happy and healthy for as long as we can. Cats can live over 20 years so thatโs a long relationship!!๐ป
Some days, we run on Starbucks! (Only for the humans! ๐๐ฅค๐ง๐)
August is Itchy Pet Awareness Month!
There are a number of reasons your pet could be itchy. We want to help figure out the reason and provide relief! Let us know if your dog or cat has an uncontrollable itch problem.
๐ง SW 21st and Westport Drive is currently closed due to unexpected roadwork. We are not sure how long the closure will last.
If you are planning to visit our office and normally come in from 21st Street, for the time being, please find a different route! You can still reach us from 25th Street. We will post an update when we find out the road has reopened. Thank you for your flexibility with us! ๐
๐ฑ๐ฅ Our office cat, Jake is the gold medal winner of most intense zoomies after receiving a Solensia injection! This monthly injection relieves any discomfort from arthritis in cats!!
Is your pet competing in any Olympics games? ๐
At West Ridge Animal Health Center, we are dedicated to providing exceptional pet care that goes above and beyond. Our passionate team is committed to exploring every avenue to ensure your pet's health and wellbeing, including the innovative technology of ultrasonography. This cutting-edge tool allows us to delve deeper into your pet's body and gain valuable insights into how their organs interact and move, enabling us to diagnose and treat a wide range of diseases and problems. By harnessing the power of ultrasound technology, we can give your beloved pet the gift of a happy, healthy, and longer life.
Pictured is Sara, one of our three Registered Veterinary Technicians that has done extensive training to learn the art of ultrasonography.

We all feel so fortunate to have clients that work with us as a team for pet care.
We share in the victories together and we share the losses.
Thank you to the wonderful client that got us these beautiful flowers after a sad situation. ๏ฟผ

Dogs need pool safety, too! ๐๐ถ
Just like humans, there are risks when dogs go swimming. To prevent drowning, infection, and sickness, read this article! It explains in-depth how to keep your dog safe and signs to look for while in the pool.

Today is National Kitten Day! We got to see Momo and Suki, two 12-week-olds this morning for their kitty vaccine boosters! Suki wanted to sniff the camera. ๐๐น
Jake here wishing you a happy happy Fourth of July. Be safe have fun. See you on Friday.
๐ค๐โฅ๏ธ
Have a safe and happy 4th of July!!
Keep pets inside and away from the loud noises. Play the radio or TV to help drown out the sound of the fireworks. Give them extra love and hugs today!
๐งจ๐บ๐ธ๐โฅ๏ธ๐ค
We will be CLOSED on Thursday, July 4th in celebration of Independence Day. We will return to our normal hours on Friday, July 5th.
Our normal hours are Monday - Friday, 7:30 AM - 6:00 PM.
Stay safe and happy 4th of July!
๐๐งจ๐Firework debris is generally NOT safe for dogs to be eating! Please check your yard and clean up any loose debris before letting your dog outside.
We know plenty of people are already shooting off fireworks every night this week, and even if you're not, it is possible that a neighbor's fireworks will result in the trash landing in your yard!
โก๏ธ Did you know more pets run away from home on the 4th of July than any other time of the year?
๐ฆฎ While preparing for the holiday, make sure your pet has proper identification! A tag on a collar should include the pet's name as well as a phone number and/or home address. Microchips are also extremely helpful! Unsure if your pet has a microchip? We have a microchip scanner in our office to check!
PLEASE be mindful of your dog's paws when they go outside! With temperatures reaching 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the concrete could easily burn their paws. If it's too hot for your feet, it's definitely too hot for your pet's feet!

Make a safe space for your furry friends to prepare for the 4th of July! Lilo and Chansey here enjoy the quiet closet with their comfy blanket!
๐๐๐๐๐
Fireworks can be amusing for us humans, but for our pets, they are usually more anxiety-inducing. Why not set up an area to keep your pet cozy and safe?
๐๐พ๐๐พ๐
Familiar clothes/blankets in a room away from windows is great. Consider using a white noise machine to block out the sound of the fireworks!
Does your dog or cat respond fearfully to fireworks?
Have you heard of ThunderEase and Feliway?
These are calming pheromone products that you can plug in as a diffuser or simply spray. They help reduce anxiety in dogs and cats by mimicking the pheromones of nursing mothers. It reminds them of the comfort they received from their mothers when they were puppies and kittens.
We carry ThunderEase and Feliway here in our clinic. We would love to send you home with something to prepare for the 4th of July!
Does your dog experience firework anxiety? The 4th of July is only a few weeks away and we know it is not a fun time for many of our furry friends.
If that's the case for your pet, let us know soon! There are medications we can prescribe to try to relieve their anxiety. We want to prepare ahead of time before the holiday is here!
Its almost time!

Tinker is happy to check everything out!! She is looking for the cheese and peanut butter that is waiting for her! Today she got some vaccines updated as well as checking some lab work to see how she is doing inside that adorable ball of fur! We want to make sure her organ function is good. We check her red and white blood counts as well as her electrolytes. We also evaluated her exposure to tick born diseases and heartworm. #westridgevet #wrahc #Topeka #adorable #healthydoghappydog
Make sure to give the monthly medications today! They keep your pet safe and healthy. (and yes we DO recommend that pets be on both heartworm prevention AND flea/tick control 12 months a year!!) !#WRAHC #westridgevet #vettech #vet #Topeka #keepthemsafe #dontforget
