Is your dog ready to be a super star? 🌟 Our local theatre is looking for a canine pal to the amazing Elle Woods! What? Like it’s hard?💓

We cannot wait to see this fabulous show!

The Woodland Opera House is excited to announce our casting search for our Bruiser Woods for our upcoming August production of Legally Blonde the Musical! This cutie pie needs to be house trained, spayed/neutered, and have a relaxed and easy-going temperament. Bruiser candidates should be comfortable around large groups of people, loud noises and music, bright lights, and other dogs (we have already cast our Rufus and Rufus understudy!)

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN

Bruiser – Elle Woods’ lap dog such as a Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Terrier, etc. Appears in multiple scenes and will need to be able to:

Bark on command
Run out on stage off leash
Be picked up and carried around
Respond to commands from the actors playing Elle and Margo such as “come,” “sit,” and “stay.”

Please submit your dog’s interest, photo, and video introduction to: [email protected].

Our mainstage production of Legally Blonde starts rehearsals June 23rd and has performances August 16th through 31st, 2024. For full details on rehearsal and performance information, please visit our main audition notice on our website: https://woodlandoperahouse.org/get-involved/

Last year alone, 163 fatal instances were reported of pets who were left in a hot car. Over 800 animals were saved from heat related deaths but suffered illnesses.

If you are unsure whether your pet can accompany to where you are going; call in advance, or opt to leave them home. 10 minutes of being left in a car on a warm day is enough to make your pet extremely sick and can cause death.

No trip is worth the loss of your beloved companion! Don't leave your pets unattended in vehicles, and as the weather warms, be on the look out for symptoms of heatstroke. ☀️

Important information!
The Canine Influenza vaccine is back in stock, and the nationwide shortage is considered over at this time. Influenza can cause dogs to have respiratory symptoms like: coughing, discharge, fever, lethargy. Symptoms can last 10-21 days and the virus can be contracted in places where they may come into contact with unvaccinated pets. For this reason, we are requiring dogs coming in to stay with us at our Pet Hotel to be up to date on their Canine Influenza vaccine starting, May 1st 2024. With any questions, reach out to 530-666-2461 by text or call.

We wish foxtails were an Aprils Fool prank!
With warm weather approaching, pet owners need to be vigilant and on the lookout for these pesky grasses that are drying, and becoming hazardous. Share this post to so fellow pet owners are aware of the danger foxtails can pose to their pets!🌾

Spring time is always welcome after such a long winter. However with Spring changes/cleaning, hazardous ingestions in pets can often increase. March is dedicated to the education of pet owning families about what can be poisonous and how best to handle the emergency if it were to arise.

Happy Valentines day Woodland Vet Hospital, friends!
We hope everyone has a great Wednesday celebrating love with their furry and not so furry Valentines...

Librela and Solensia is a great gift idea if your pet's mobility isn't what it used to be. Painful movement and discomfort doesn't have to come with age. Talk to your pet's Veterinary team about whether Librela and Solensia could be right for your Valentine🩷

Greetings from Woodland Veterinary Hospital,

We wanted to give you, our valued clients, a little insight into our use of antibiotics in animals.

Antibiotic resistance, or the ability of bacteria to withstand the effects of antibiotic treatment, is a growing problem for our pets, and it is also a major human health concern. Widespread use of antibiotics in human and animal health is a major cause of the problem of antibiotic resistance. Veterinarians play an important role in the fight to preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics for animals as well as for humans. Just as antibiotics are not appropriate for all infections in people (including the common cold, influenza, and most cases of bronchitis and sinusitis), antibiotics are not always the answer when our pets get sick. In addition, it is important to keep in mind that the antibiotics themselves are not without potential harm, so they should only be used when needed. Antibiotics can lead to drug reactions, vomiting, diarrhea, or the development of new infections that are difficult to treat.

Due to the ever-increasing risk of antibiotic resistance and the impact this has on both human and veterinary patients, we will be proactively following a program of “antibiotic stewardship.” This means we will prescribe antibiotics only when they are truly needed so that we can preserve their power while effectively treating infections. Our doctors would be happy to discuss their recommendations for your pet with you. Please feel free to ask us if you have questions!

Sincerely,
Your Woodland Veterinary Hospital-Medical Team

We are so excited about the wonderful feedback we have been receiving from our patients on Librela and Solensia!

If your pet is having discomfort or mobility issues talk to your Client Care team, or ask the doctor at your pet's next exam. We can arrange your filling out the Osteoarthritis pain quiz. Our medical team can then see if your pet is a good candidate for Solenisia & Librela, a monthly injection that helps arthritis pain.

Give your pet something to be thankful for this season and year round! Comfort and freedom from Osteoarthritis pain.

During Senior Pet Month, a topic we wanted to cover was Osteoarthritis pain, and what we are now happy to offer pawrents as a possible solution!

Solensia and Librela are monthly injections that can provide pets with arthritis relief, once prescribed by a veterinarian. If you think your pet can benefit from an exam to discuss Solensia, Librela, or possible Osteoarthritis pain give us a call!

If you think your pet may have symptoms of arthritis head to our stories, swipe up, and take the Osteoarthiristis pain checklist quiz.
This quiz will be added to your pets chart and our team will consult with a veterinarian.

Another way we can make vet visits easier for the whole family is getting cats used to short car rides. 🚗
Check out some tips to consider in combination with carrier training. Trying these tips may take a few tries to be most affective. Like humans our kitties need time to adjust to change. 🐱

Happy Fourth of July WVH friends and family! 🎇
We hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday today. We know for most pet owners this holiday can be love/hate, due to the stress it puts on our fur babies. We wanted to offer the top tips for getting your kiddo through the day.
-
If you have mostly outdoor pets please consider bringing them inside. If that is not possible make sure your pet has a collar & tags on and that your microchip info is up to date! Unfortunately the loud noises can scare pets, even those who are usually more comfortable staying home. We want to see your pets, but not because they lost their way home!
-
If you happen to find a lost pet try contacting the Yolo County Animal Shelter. We can try to help locate a pet with microchip information @ WVH but unfortunately without tags or a microchip, YCAS is the next step.

Feedback we hear often from cat owners is the hardest part about bringing their cat in, tends to be transporting them from their house to the office. We want to help owners eliminate that struggle and the best place to start is finding the right carrier!

WVH has been making a lot of changes for our feline friends we are ecstatic to share...
Stay tuned for more information on those updates and info on getting your cats in to see a vet. We want to see your cats regularly just like dogs. Preventative care for a healthy cat ensures a happy life!
