January was a cold one but these new Puppies and Kittens we got to welcome made the month go by fast!

We hope everyone is staying warm!!

Attack mode, activated! This breed is very popular and was originally an all-purpose worker. You can see breed enthusiasts still participating in a wide range of dog sports, and the breed is still used in active working conditions.
This should be an easy one 😉 can you guess the breed?

Next month is DENTAL MONTH!
Our year-round discounts are applicable to this upcoming month, with a special addition. For February only, we are honoring the dental discount for clients who have been seen within the past 6 months (year-round discount is only applicable within 60 days of the exam).

We have an exciting announcement to make! AHOW family, please help us welcome our new medical director, Dr. Tiffany Bohlmann!
Dr. Bohlmann graduated from Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2007 and moved back to her home state of Illinois to practice mixed animal medicine. She has worked in many practice types over the years - small animal, mixed animal, exotic animal, and USDA - and is looking forward to learning more about the canine reproductive practice at AHOW!
In her free time, she enjoys reading, playing video games, and raising and showing rabbits across the United States. She also spends time with her dogs and cats.
This February, Dr. Bohlmann will be joining our current veterinary associates including Dr. Stephanie Willney, Dr. AnaMaria Cruz, Dr. Becky Reardon, Dr. Emma Kamps, and Dr. Duane Kimmey. We are looking forward to continuing to offer gold standard care to our families!

Can you guess the breed?
The American Kennel Club calls their name "synonymous with streamlined grace", and characterizes them as friendly, charming, dignified, and gentle, but "all business" when it comes to the chase. They look like small Greyhounds, and, with proper exercise, make amiable companions. Our Reproduction Department has been fortunate to work with this litter since before conception, and was delighted to see how they've grown!

Batteries, tinsel, yew plants, oh my! Try to avoid the ER this holiday season by pet-proofing the home and avoiding novel food items.

Some festive hazards in your household may only see the light of day for a couple of months, but still present dangers for our pets.

12/21/2024

Avoid feeding raw meat, and alert your vet if you notice lethargy, inappetence, discharge from the eyes or nose, breathing changes, or neurologic changes in your cat. Highly-Pathogenic Avian Influenza can affect our domestic animals and has been on the rise recently.

The FDA is providing pet owners and animal caretakers with information about ways to reduce the risk to their animals of contracting HPAI (H5N1).

We have been transitioning over the past year to get our canine patients updated on the leptospirosis vaccine. It is an annual vaccine recommended for all dogs nationwide. Contact us to ensure your pup is protected!

🚨 Important Update: Leptospirosis Now a Core Vaccine for ALL Dogs
The 2022 AAHA Canine Vaccination Guidelines have been updated to classify the leptospirosis vaccine as CORE for all dogs starting at 12 weeks of age – regardless of lifestyle, location, or breed.
Why the change?
🌆 ALL dogs are at risk—urban, suburban, and rural.
⚠️ Potentially fatal, even with treatment.
🔄 Zoonotic—it can spread from pets to humans.
🏢 Dogs in daycare and kennels also face exposure risks.
You can find the full update in the Nov/Dec issue of JAAHA, or check out the full 2022 Canine Vaccination Guidelines here: aaha.org/canine-vaccinations
