Baby was such a good boy and was very excited about his treats after his nail trim 🤣🤣🤣

If your family lives in an independent living facility, I go there too!!! Many of them are allowed to keep their pets !

Today was a visit to Brookdale.

If you need help give us a call!

Beamer & Fiona slightly sleepy after their nail trims.
She receives anxiety reducing medication 2-3 hours before I arrive.

But like clockwork, she and her brother get care every 4 weeks!

Just what we needed another bladder stone… Can you guys just go back to research based Veterinary formulated kibble now please🙄🙄 enough!

UPDATE:
Good afternoon, it appears the intention of this post was misunderstood. The intention of this post was to inform our clients that a new stone was found and could be linked to a certain compound ( choline bitartrate). This compound is found in supplements as well as some foods. It was not intended to make it sound like a common issue or a reason for you to switch your pet's food without talking with your veterinarian. Thank you for all who kindly commented, clearing up some of these concerns. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to us or your family veterinarian.

BREAKING NEWS -- use caution when feeding your dog fresh food from brands such as The Farmers Dog, JustFoodForDogs and Nom Nom⚠️

The University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine Urolith Center has discovered a NEW urinary stone and the likely cause🔬
The UMN Urolith Center is the laboratory we use for all bladder stone analysis that are conducted for HAH patients and we recently received notification of this new information.

These new stones are called "calcium tartrate tetrahydrate" (CTT) uroliths according to Dr. Lulich (co-director of UMN Urolith Center). Canine patients get "choline bitartrate" (the main compound in CTT uroliths) from fresh dog food and supplements recommended for dogs that eat homemade food.
The data collected by Dr. Lulich and his team showed a link between choline bitartrate found in some of the most popular fresh dog food brands -- including The Farmers Dog, JustFoodForDogs and Nom Nom -- and the newly discovered CTT uroliths.

This discovery was published in April 2025 in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine.

💊🐾 Pet Pilling Made Easy! 🐾💊

If your pet takes multiple pills, here’s a handy trick to make life easier (and avoid missed doses):
👉 Use an empty gel capsule to combine all the meds into one pill! That way, instead of wrestling with 2, 3, or more pills, you only have to give one capsule.

Less stress for you, less fuss for your pet!

At the moment, I’m helping a Havanese take seven pills. It is much easier only dosing her with two pills, versus seven !

I saw this awhile back, but I forgot about it.
Luckily my best buddy over at Melanie's PAWS and CLAWS
reminded me of it. 💜🥳

✨ My own pilling kit includes:
✔️ A pill cutter (to get the right size)
✔️ Pill pockets (because who doesn’t love a treat)
✔️ Empty gel caps (size 0 in this pic—but they come in many sizes to fit your pet’s needs!)
✔️A pill cup & syringe too, to keep the pills organized and a syringe to sq**rt water afterwards. 

Sometimes it’s all about making medication time smoother—for both you and your furry friend. 🐶🐱

Collaboration between professionals is always crucial to success! For us and your pet! 

If you need a demo or help with your pets, let us know.

A week FULL of fun!!! 🩷💙💜
So many pets helped. With a few challenges sprinkled in.

This week we welcomed a new client with a cat named Lucky. He is a diabetic cat who is not a fan of strangers. To make his insulin go as smoothly as possible, I have had to pull out every behavior technique i know. And some new protective gear as well. Because remember: this job is not without potential hazards. so i have safety gear for many situations.
Glad to report he’s doing great, eating well, and getting his shots. 👏🏽👏🏽

This week’s stats:
47 visits
38 pets
2 nutrition coversations
Continued oral and transdermal chemotherapy on a cat every 3 days
Medication administration for a dog home from the ER.
And retainer clients daily.

All of whom, have great pet parents who LOVE the value of in-home veterinary care!
And convenient nature of a house call.

Whether it was routine care like nail trims, ear cleaning, or gland expression, (With walks and belly rubs, too 🥰 ) it was also full of medication administration. Orally and injections.

Pet sitting will always demand a level of excellence I strive for. It’s demanding, consistent and rewarding for the pets who need a professional pet sitter. It’s not something everyone can do, especially when medications are involved.
Even when there are no medications, the demand on the provider, is still very high.

I highly recommend working with a full time professional pet sitter. Who’s licensed 😉
You will have peace of mind that your pets are getting the consistency they need.

I’m always learning and bringing my best for my pet clients. 🥰🎉

If your pet needs a house call, I am accepting new clients in September. Until then, we are completely booked.

Thank you all for your continued support, confidence, and referrals!!!

XO,

Puppy Socialization Checklist 🐶

The first few months of a puppy's life are the most important for socialization and exposure to different sights, sounds, and experiences. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of socializing your puppy to help them grow up to be confident and resilient. 💙

⭐️ Socialize your puppy for the life you want to have with them. If you want a camping buddy or a river buddy, start showing them your supplies first! If you live in a busy area like downtown Portland, consider walking them in a stroller so they can watch the world around them.
⭐️Socialization is not about interacting with everyone and everything. Instead, focus on positive pairings and associations, which can be done at almost any distance. If they only ever play with other people and dogs, it can easily become an expectation, making other goals you have more challenging to achieve.
⭐️ Socialization MUST be enjoyable to make a difference. Do not force your puppy into situations or experiences they are fearful or unsure of.
⭐️ Sign up for puppy classes and puppy socials that focus on positive reinforcement-based training, help puppies develop appropriate social skills, offer breaks to practice settling, and implement shorter play periods.
⭐️ Try not to panic! Perfection is not an expectation, and we know checklists like this can be intimidating. This is a general list of things to give you an idea of what your puppy should experience before 18 weeks of age.
⭐️ While your pup's socialization window is an important time for first impressions and setting them up for success, learning is a lifelong process, and your dog can grow comfort with new people, places, and experiences at any point in their lives. That's something we can help with!
