Happy Thanksgiving week!

Thanksgiving is a time for family, food, and fun, but it's also a time when we need to be extra cautious about our pets. The holiday season brings with it a host of potential dangers that can put your furry companions at risk. From dangerous foods, to stress from the holiday hustle, here is how you can keep your pets safe and stress-free this Thanksgiving.

Avoiding foods that may be hazardous such as turkey, bones, onions, garlic, chocolate, xylitol, alcohol, rich and fatty foods.

Create a safe space if your pets gets nervous about visitors. Make sure this area is set up with their favorite bed, toys, and access to food and water. Watch for sings of stress, excessive barking, drooling, hiding and loss of appetite. These may be signs your pets needs attention or may need to be moved to a quieter part of the house.

Decorations can be fun, but some of them can pose a risk to pets. Watch out for candles, tinsel, small objects and holiday plants. Some popular holiday plants such as lilies, mistletoe, and certain types of gourds are toxic to pets if ingested.

If you run into any trouble this holiday week, our hours are:
Monday 11/25/24 - Wednesday 11/27/24 : OPEN 8:00am - 5:00pm
Thursday 11/28/24 AND Friday 11/29/24 : CLOSED.
Saturday 11/29/24 : OPEN FULL DAY 8:00am - 5:00pm.
Please call us at 719-297-9011.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

November is National Senior Pet Month!

Recognizing the signs of aging in pets:
🐾Physical Changes: weight changes, mobility issues, and greying fur.
🐾Behavioral Changes: decreased activity, more sleeping, and changes in appetites.
🐾Cognitive Changes: Confusion, disorientation, and housetraining accidents.

Understanding organ function in senior pets:
🐾Kidney health: Kidney disease. Symptoms to look out for: increased thirst and urination.
🐾Heart health: Heart disease. Symptoms to look out for: Coughing and lethargy.
🐾Joint health: Arthritis. Symptoms to look out for: Difficulty moving or signs of discomfort.

Nutrition for senior pets:
🐾Diet adjustments. As pets age, their nutritional needs may change, such as lower calories, joint support, and dental care.

Regular Vet Checkups and Monitoring
🐾 We recommend that senior pets have a visit with our veterinarian every 6 months. At these visits, we may recommend running bloodwork, checking urine samples, and doing dental exams. Early detection to decreased organ functions can improve quality of life and help manage chronic conditions.

All of these signs may vary from pet to pet, but are usually universal indicators of aging. If you think your senior pet needs to be seen, please call us at 719-297-9011. We would love to take care of your sweet, furry, family members!

Maddie is a playful pup who loves to get into mischief—and sometimes that includes eating things she shouldn't! 🐾💥 Recently, Maddie ran into some trouble when she ingested something not-so-friendly. Her worried mom rushed her into our clinic, and after a thorough examination, blood work, and X-rays, we knew surgery was the best option to get her feeling better.

Our team went to work right away, and thanks to quick action and a successful procedure, Maddie made a smooth recovery. 🌟

Today, she's back to her happy, hyper, playful self, ready for more adventures (hopefully with fewer snack mishaps)! 🐶💕

It's important to keep our furry friends safe and happy! Here are some tips to ensure your pets enjoy the spooky season too:

Keep Candy Out of Reach: Chocolate and many candies can be toxic to pets. Make sure to store treats in a secure place and educate kids about not sharing with pets.

Choose Safe Costumes: If you dress up your pet, make sure the costume is comfortable and doesn’t restrict movement, vision, or breathing. Always supervise them while they’re wearing it!

Beware of Decorations: Many Halloween decorations can be harmful if ingested. Keep wires, candles, and small items out of reach to prevent choking or other accidents.

Create a Safe Space: With all the doorbell ringing and noise, your pet may feel anxious. Set up a quiet, cozy spot away from the chaos where they can feel safe.

Watch the Door: When trick-or-treaters arrive, be cautious as doors open and close. Consider using a baby gate to keep pets from darting outside.

🐾❤️ Did you know that animals can be affected by heart disease, especially at high elevations? Just like humans, our furry friends can struggle with lower oxygen levels and the challenges that come with living at altitude. 🏔️

It's crucial for pet owners in mountainous regions to keep an eye out for signs of heart issues, such as difficulty breathing, fatigue, or coughing. Regular check-ups with a vet can help catch problems early and ensure our pets stay happy and healthy. 🐶🐱

Thank you for joining us at this year’s Hallowpalooza last Friday! It was wonderful to see everyone in their fantastic costumes and to celebrate the spooky season together. Your creativity and spirit truly made the event special.

Meet Hugo! He’s a 1.5-year-old bulldog mix with a playful spirit. Hugo loves a good game of keep-away and enjoys short walks at a relaxed pace, thanks to his brachycephalic nature. Whether he’s donning a cute costume or just enjoying some festive dog-treats, Hugo is excited to celebrate the season with his favorite humans!

✨ What Does Brachycephalic Mean? The term "brachycephalic" comes from Greek, meaning "short-headed." These animals have shortened skull shapes, and distinct flat faces that make them adorable but can also lead to health challenges.

🌬️ Health Considerations:

Breathing Difficulties: Their flat faces can restrict airflow, making it harder for them to breathe, especially in hot weather or during exercise.

Heat Sensitivity: Brachycephalic animals can overheat quickly. Always provide shade, fresh water, and limit exercise on hot days.
Dental Issues: Their unique jaw structure can lead to overcrowded teeth and dental problems.

🏃‍♂️ Activity Needs: While they love to play, it's important to keep walks short and manageable. Pay attention to their breathing and take breaks as needed!

❤️ Care Tips:

Regular vet check-ups are essential to monitor their health.
Keep their weight in check to avoid added strain on their breathing.
Be mindful of their environment; avoid high heat and humidity.
Brachycephalic dogs bring so much joy and love into our lives. With a little extra care, we can ensure they live happy, healthy lives! 🐾❤️
