Reminder that we do have policies on keeping your pets contained safely upon entering the building. Dogs must be on a safe and secure leash. All cats must be in carriers. If you do not have a leash or a carrier, one may be borrowed to you. If the leash or carrier is not returned to the clinic after your visit, you will be charged accordingly. Cardboard travel carriers (for cats) are available for purchase at a very reasonable cost!

Please take note of our new leash and carrier policy. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please do not hesitate to contact us. We urge all of our clients to make sure that they have a carrier for cats or other small mammals and a properly fitting collar/leash system for their dogs, including a regular style leash.

Thank you for your cooperation!

We will be out of the office briefly today from 12:00pm-1:00pm. We will return for normal business hours at 1:00pm.

Thank you!

Fleas, Fleas, and more Fleas! We have seen a large number of cases of fleas (at least 7 cases) within the last 3 business days here at the clinic. Fleas can be bothersome but they can also lead to big health concerns for your pets. Make sure your pets are protected! If you aren't sure what to use, please contact the clinic today to speak to one of our staff members. Just because the weather is changing to fall, doesn't mean you should stop those prevention methods just yet!

Reminder for all of our clients regarding prescriptions! We understand that accidents happen and you may run out of medications. However, it is important to keep an eye on your pet's med supply, especially if they are on medications for chronic issues. As mentioned below, some medications/foods do require especial ordering and approval from a doctor. Special ordering can take a week or two for arrival to the clinic. We do have an online pharmacy for direct shipping to you if it is easier to order your pet's prescription online. However, you must account for shipping in addition to the 24 hour request approval. We can put a "rush" on your prescription but rush fees do apply.

Please note that this also applies to prescription preventative products such as: Simparica Trio, Nexgard, Heartgard Plus, Nexgard Combo, Revolution Plus, etc.

Providing the best possible service to all of our clients is always our top priority. We want to make sure your pet stays on any prescriptions that are vital to their health. In order to ensure we meet our goal in helping you and your pet, we ask that you request any refills at least 24-48 hours in advance.

We do have an online pharmacy as well for our existing clients to utilize. You can access our online pharmacy by going to our online website and clicking on the pharmacy link. Keep in mind that these prescriptions do ship directly to you so make sure you have enough medication until your order ships.

If you have any questions, please reach out to us at 218-631-5826.

Check out this amazing before and after on our little Frenchie patient!

He was in this week for a Stenotic Nares Surgery with Dr. Krell. Stenotic nares surgery is a procedure that widens a dog's nostrils to improve airflow and help with breathing problems. In addition, this patient also had a soft palate resection which can also help improve breathing drastically in brachycephalic breeds!

This little guy is doing well in recovery at home. Recovery time is still typically around 14 days. If you have a Brachycephalic breed that you think may need this type of surgery, please contact us for a consult.

08/15/2024

Reminder that the clinic will be closed today at 2pm. We will re-open Monday morning at 8:00am. Please call 701-478-9299 for emergencies!

Just because it’s August and Fall is right around the corner, doesn’t mean it’s started to get cool just yet. Inside vehicle temps are MUCH hotter than external temperatures. It is NOT effective to just roll down the window.

If you see a pet in a locked car, record the vehicles info, take photo documentation, alert the business nearby (if near a business) and contact authorities immediately.

Have you thought about Spaying/Neutering your cat or dog? We think that’s a great idea!! Unaltered pets can produce so many offspring in such amount of time, causing many unwanted pets, which often end up in shelters or on the streets. Apart from population management, there can be many other benefits of spaying and neutering. If you are interested in setting up a consult or surgical procedure, please give the clinic a call at 218-631-5826. Estimates can also be provided via email!

08/13/2024
