Looking for a summer fruit that’s safe to share? 🍉 🍉 🍉

Watermelon is 92% water so it’s a great treat to help keep your pet hydrated. It also has low calories, no fat or cholesterol, and is high in potassium and vitamins A, B6, and C. But be sure to remove the seeds and rind!

Try freezing small chunks of watermelon to make an extra special treat for a hot day! 🍉 🍉 🍉

Tomatoes are a popular garden crop this time of year. However, green tomatoes contain solanine which can put our pets at risk. 🍅 In most cases, we can see gastrointestinal irritation even with a small amount ingested.

Symptoms with larger ingestions can include: vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, weakness, confusion, dilated pupils, depression, and increased heart rate.

If you suspect your pet has consumed green tomatoes, immediately contact Peak at (802) 878-2022. You can also connect with the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435

07/20/2024

With summer weather upon us, it’s important to keep your pet well-hydrated! Generally, your pet should drink about one ounce of water for each pound of body weight. That may need to increase by 3-4x depending on their exposure to heat, activity levels, and diet.

Encourage your pet to drink more water by:
💧 Always supplying fresh water
💧 Clean the water bowl daily
💧 For pets that prefer running water, try a pet fountain
💧 Add wet food or more raw fruits and vegetables to their diet (just double-check that they are safe for your pet to consume)

Your pet may be dehydrated if they’re experiencing loss of appetite, reduced energy, lethargy, panting, dry eyes, nose, or gums, or loss of skin elasticity.

If your pet experiences dehydration, contact Peak at (802) 878-2022.

July is National Lost Pet Prevention Month! 🚀 At Peak Veterinary Referral Center, we're committed to ensuring the safety of our beloved pets in the Latham area and beyond!

🔖 ID Tags & Microchipping: Equip your furry friend with ID tags for immediate contact details and a microchip for permanent identification. These small tools can be lifesavers if your pet ever gets lost.

🏡 Secure Your Fencing: Ensure your yard’s fencing is escape-proof to keep your adventurous pets safe at home. Check for any gaps or weak spots and make sure it's tall enough to prevent any over-the-fence excursions.

📣 Help us spread the word and keep all our pets safe this month!

🔥 Inform rescuers of your pets and their hiding places

Heading off to the pool or beach this summer with your furry friend? Check out these water safety tips to make sure your pet has fun while staying safe. ☀️

🔹 Pick a shallow spot to start out and stay close to the edge of the water.
🔹 Don’t force them. Throwing a pet in the water who doesn’t want to swim can be traumatic and may prevent them from enjoying the water later on.
🔹 Get in the water with them. When they start paddling with their front paws, lift their hind end so they understand how to float.
🔹 Keep them on a leash at first so they can’t stray too far away from you.

🌡 Also, be sure to stay aware of the temperature! While swimming may cool you and your pet down, hot sand or pavement poses a threat to your pet's paws. If you can't hold the back of your hand to the ground for at least 10 seconds without feeling a burn, it's too hot for your pet to walk on!

If you experience an emergency with your pet this summer contact Peak at (802) 878-2022.

🔥🚗 Hot Car Alert: Keep Your Pet Safe! 🚗🔥

With summer in full swing, remember the dangers of leaving pets in hot cars. At Peak, we're here to ensure the safety and well-being of your furry family members.

Even on relatively mild days, the inside of a parked car can quickly become dangerously hot, putting pets at risk of heat stroke and even death. Here's what you can do to keep your pet safe:

1. Never Leave Pets Unattended: Even for a few minutes, never leave your pet alone in a parked car. The temperature inside can skyrocket in a matter of minutes.
2. Plan Ahead: If you're running errands, leave your pet at home where they'll be safe and comfortable.
3. Spread Awareness: Educate friends and family about the dangers of leaving pets in hot cars. It takes a community to keep our pets safe.

Let's work together to keep pets out of hot cars and ensure a safe and enjoyable summer for all. If you have any concerns about your pet's well-being, don't hesitate to contact us for guidance. 🐾☀️

Happy Father's Day to all the dads of both human and pet children!🐾

06/15/2024

As the weather warms up and more outdoor adventures take place, it's crucial to keep our beloved pets safe from unexpected hazards. One hazard that often catches our furry friends off guard is encounters with porcupines. 🌳🦔

At Peak, we've seen our fair share of pups coming in with painful quills embedded in their snouts, paws, and bodies. While these encounters can be alarming and uncomfortable for both pets and their owners, rest assured that we're here to help! 🩺💙

When provoked or approached too closely, these prickly creatures can unleash their quills in defense, leading to painful and potentially dangerous situations for our furry friends.

To keep your pets safe from porcupine encounters:
1. Stay Vigilant: Keep a close eye on your pet during outdoor excursions, especially in areas known to be inhabited by porcupines.
2. Leash Up: When exploring new trails or wooded areas, keep your pet on a leash to prevent them from wandering off and stumbling upon a prickly surprise.
3. Immediate Action: If you suspect your pet has encountered a porcupine, seek veterinary care immediately. Attempting to remove quills on your own can lead to further injury and discomfort for your pet.

If the unexpected happens, know that we're here to provide compassionate care and expert quill removal services for your pets. 🐶💖

Did your pup have a run-in with the neighborhood skunk? 🦨Don’t worry! We’ve got you covered. This at-home skunk spray odor removal works wonders. Here’s what to do:

1. Do NOT spray your dog or cat with water yet.

2. Mix the above ingredients together. A plastic soda bottle with a cap works great for this. The solution will fizz.

3. Keep the mix out of your pet’s eyes. Use a sponge or face wash towel to clean his or her head, and around their mouth and eyes.

4. Knead the solution into the fur, be sure to get every part of your pet with the mixture. Let it soak in for about 20 minutes

5. After about 20 minutes rinse thoroughly with water.

6. Shampoo with pet shampoo if you like. It will help with the smell.

Say goodbye to that stinky situation! 🌟

Happy Memorial Day! 💙

Today we honor those who lost their lives while serving in the U.S. military. Their courage and selflessness will never be forgotten.

As a reminder, our hospital will be open for the holiday, with our usual business hours of 9 am-7 pm.

Have a safe and enjoyable weekend with your pets!

05/25/2024

As we gear up to celebrate Memorial Day, let's not forget about the safety of our pets! 🐶🐱 While we honor and remember our heroes, it's important to ensure that our pets stay safe and sound during the festivities.

Here are a few tips to keep your pets happy and healthy this Memorial Day:

Watch the Grill: Keep an eye on the grill to prevent curious pets from getting too close. Hot surfaces and stray sparks can cause burns or other injuries.

Avoid Table Scraps: While those BBQ treats might look tempting to your pet, many human foods can be harmful to them. Keep them on their regular diet and avoid giving them any table scraps.

Provide a Safe Space: Loud fireworks and large gatherings can be overwhelming for pets. Create a quiet, secure space where they can retreat if they feel stressed or anxious.

Keep ID Tags Updated: With all the commotion, pets may be more likely to escape. Make sure their ID tags are up to date with your current contact information, just in case they wander off.

Stay Hydrated: Keep plenty of fresh water available for your pets, especially if it's hot outside. Dehydration can be a serious issue for animals, so make sure they have access to water at all times.

Some patients just need a little extra love. 💚 This is Krissy, a 4-year-old English Mastiff, getting some love from our Surgery Technician, Erin, following her orthopedic procedure. Krissy saw Dr. Schulz for a stifle arthroscopy and TPLO plate removal. When something seems wrong with a joint (lameness, limping, clicking), arthroscopy provides better visualization and greater opportunities for treatment while being much less invasive than traditional surgery. And Dr. Schulz is one of the top surgeons in the country in arthroscopy! Before Krissy went home to recover, she required extra attention and we were happy to oblige. 🥰

Guess who's back!? 🎙 Season 5 of The PAWEDcast kicks off this week! New guests, new topics, same ole Dr. Vernaleken & Dr. Renzullo. Find us on YouTube, Spotify, Google Play, or your favorite podcast app.

Veterinary CT scan. 📹 Scooby, a 7-year old Shepherd Mix, presented in February for left thoracic (front) limb lameness and radiographs showed evidence of arthritis in the elbow. Our Surgeon Dr. Kristian Ash & his team performed a CT scan shown here and a joint tap for further diagnosis. Scooby did so well through the scan and tap and once we got the results, Dr. Ash created a treatment plan just for him.

We are starting a challenge and invite you to play! Use hashtag #choosemechallenge and post a video of your pet deciding who wins. OR have each person hold up a sign (Dunkins or Starbucks, winter or summer) and have your pet pick the best. Get creative! Don’t forget to challenge a friend! Let’s see those pets choose!

Heartworms Under the Microscope

Did you know April is Heartworm Awareness Month? Heartworm is a parasite that is transmitted from mosquitoes to dogs and cats. Heartworm disease causes lasting damage to the heart, lungs, and arteries, and can affect the health and quality of life of dogs long after the parasites are gone. Treatment is expensive and involves several months of medications, injections, and hospitalization days, so prevention is by far the best option. Learn more about heartworm prevention here: http://ow.ly/QYi130ohq6i Check out this video of four heartworms wriggling around in a blood sample of a dog that tested positive for heartworm at Bulger.
