Proper nail care 💅 is an essential aspect of grooming. However, it is also one of the most dreaded tasks for pet owners and caretakers.

We want to help you! 🥰

Check out these great nail trim resources to guide you to a successful home nail trim! Your pet is most comfortable at home. Learning to do these at home will alleviate some of the stress often associated with nail trims.

If home nail trims are not an option, finding a groomer ✂ that provides this service is a great option. We do not work with any specific groomer. Finding a groomer who suits your needs and that your pet is most comfortable with is individual, therefore we cannot make specific recommendations.

Is your pet a senior or over the age of 7? 👵

Bring a fresh (collected within the last hour) urine sample to your pet's next stay-well exam! 💛

Testing your pet’s urine helps us uncover painful but often hidden conditions, like infections and kidney and bladder stones, diabetes, and gives us more information on your pet’s general health. A routine urinalysis helps us look at not just your pet's kidney and urinary system, but other organ systems.

Ask us about it at your next visit! 🤓

Check out the great article in the comments ⬇ from our friends at Pet Health Network that dives a little deeper into why we recommend a urine screening even on your healthy pet!

🐾Recently our own Veterinary Technician Assistant, Erin V attended camp! 🐾

She was joined by Denver, who was the star of the show, of course. 🦮🌟

Camp Braveheart was taking place at Ogemaw Heights High School. The camp is designed to bring awareness, train, and educate young people about life saving measures that even they might be able to assist someone with, in a time of need.

Our part at camp was showing how to help an animal who might be experiencing a medical emergency. Erin and Denver demonstrated how to triage and care for an open wound, as well as how to utilize an everyday leash making a muzzle.

The muzzle provides even the nicest of animals a measure of safety. When they are hurt, panicked or feeling defensive, it’s important that those providing care make sure everyone involved is safe.

Thanks for having us Camp Braveheart! 💓

WHEW! 🥵

Remember: If it’s hot outside for you, it’s even hotter for your pet.

Unlike humans, dogs cannot sweat through their skin. They rely on panting and releasing heat through their paw pads and noses to regulate their body temperature.

Pets with flat faces, like Pugs and French Bulldogs, are more susceptible to heat stroke since they cannot pant as effectively. These pets, along with the elderly, the overweight, and those with heart or lung diseases, should be kept cool in air-conditioned rooms as much as possible.

Signs of heat exhaustion in dogs:

☀Collapsing or difficulty getting up

☀Diarrhea

☀Bright red gums

☀Excessive panting or drooling

☀Lethargy

☀Rapid heart rate

☀Increased thirst

☀Glassy eyes

Contact your veterinarian immediately or visit a pet emergency if you suspect heat exhaustion in your pet.

To schedule an 📅 appointment, or for pet emergency information ☎️ call (989)701-2929 or visit our website at www.cvcwb.com 💻

A few years ago, Marlee 👧 and Michaela 🩺 sat down to discuss the importance of vaccinating 💉 for Leptospirosis or "Lepto". 🧫

Vaccinating for Leptospirosis is something our clinical team is continuously educating the importance of, and sharing the risks of not vaccinating!

🦠 Bacteria is passed in the urine of infected animals. The contamination usually comes from wildlife, like rats, deer, or raccoons!

🦠 Bacteria can survive in water or soil for weeks or MONTHS! It can be found in large bodies of water, stagnant water like puddles or moist soil, and even dewy grass!

🦠 Dogs usually become infected by swimming, walking, or drinking contaminated water. Humans can also become infected with Leptospirosis!

🦠 Leptospirosis causes serious kidney and liver damage, which can be fatal in several cases. The best protection is vaccination.

🦠 Dogs weighing less than 15 pounds have the greatest odds of being diagnosed with Leptospirosis.

Call our clinic 📞 (989) 701-2929 to check if your dog is up to date on their Leptospirosis vaccine or schedule their next appointment!

Today we wear purple at Compassionate Veterinary Care to support and spread awareness on World Lupus Day! 🦋

Lupus is a chronic and often fatal complex autoimmune disease.

Lupus has no cure.

About 60% of Americans are unaware of what Lupus is even though there are about 1.5 million people in the US suffering from some form of the disease and over 5 million worldwide.

💜 Our hope is to spread awareness and make Lupus visible! 💜

💻Visit www.Lupus.org or www.milupus.org to learn more about Lupus and remember to wear your purple today!

🎉🎉Help us wish our Technician Assistant, Erin, the happiest birthday!! 🎉🎉

Erin is the jack of all trades at CVC. 🦸‍♀️

She is a nail trim guru. She covers at the front desk without missing a beat. She is a wizard surgical assistant among SO many other things around here, but most importantly she has the best memory and never forgets her patients or their parents! Making them always feel so special during their visit.

As thoughtful and kind as she is with her patients, she is the same with her co-workers. Erin regularly goes out of her way to pick up little gifts that make her think of her co-workers and bosses. She is always locked and loaded with snacks to share and is ALWAYS down for a run to Starbucks!

We are so grateful to have Erin on our team.

Happy Birthday, Erin!!!
