Happy National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

If our canine companions could speak, we’re pretty sure they’d have mixed feelings about today. Squirrels are their greatest fascination… and sometimes their biggest frustration!

But let’s be real - squirrels are the ultimate park performers! They’re acrobats, master tree climbers, and they keep our pups endlessly entertained with their playful antics.

So today, we tip our hats (and wag our tails!) in appreciation of these nutty little neighbors. Whether they’re darting across the yard or teasing from the treetops, squirrels bring a bit of joy, wonder, and cardio into every dog’s life.



If you have any concerns or emergencies regarding your playful pets, give Cloud Peak Vet Clinic a visit. We'd love to help in any way we can, and if you have an emergency outside of office hours, give us a call at (307) 347-2781! Don’t forget to keep your pets safe and leashed during squirrel-watching season. Safety first, fun second!

… Worland is FREEZING this week!

With temperatures dipping below zero, it’s not just us humans feeling the chill — our furry friends are too! Here’s your friendly reminder to make sure your pets are warm, cozy, and safe during this cold snap.

✅ Bring them inside. If you’re cold, they’re cold!
✅ Watch those paws. Ice and salt can seriously harm your furry companion.
✅ Layer up. A cozy sweater for your pup is always a fashion win.

Let’s keep our pets happy and healthy while we wait for warmer days (we’re counting down too)! If you have questions, concerns, or emergencies relating to the animals in your care, give Cloud Peak Vet Clinic a call or visit! Dial (307) 347-2781, and we would be more than happy to help! Stay warm, Worland!

At Cloud Peak Vet Clinic, we believe every dog deserves a safe, warm, and loving environment. Sadly, too many dogs spend their lives chained up outside, exposed to harsh weather and feeling isolated from the families they long to bond with.

During Unchain a Dog Month, we are raising awareness about the importance of giving dogs freedom, shelter, and love. Dogs are social creatures who thrive on companionship — not chains.

What can you do to help?
1. If you know of a dog who’s been chained for long periods, report it to your local animal control.
2. Educate others about the emotional and physical harm caused by chaining.
3. Support efforts to create safe outdoor spaces like fenced yards or enclosures.

Let’s work together to make a difference in our community! If you have questions or concerns about unchaining, do not hesitate to give Cloud Peak Vet Clinic a call! Dial (307) 347-2781 or stop by on your way home to talk to a team of a pros!

The dropping temperatures, chilling winds, and overcast conditions all contribute to the discomfort your arthritic pet feels in the winter. The changing atmospheric pressure can cause your beloved companion's joints and the surrounding tissue to become inflamed - which is why we encourage pet owners with arthritic pets to ease their discomfort and pain. If your furry friend is struggling with their arthritis, make sure to keep them warm!

🐾 Use a heating pad wrapped in a towel or blanket
🐾 Layer comfortable clothes or blankets
🐾 Ensure your pet's bed/kennel is warm and well-insulated

If you have questions or concerns about the animals in your care, do not hesitate to reach out to our dedicated Cloud Peak Vet Clinic team at (307) 347-2781. If you're short for time or looking for immediate answers, swing by during business hours!

Happy National Pet Travel Safety Day! 🐾🚗

Traveling with your furry friends can be an unforgettable adventure, but their safety is always the top priority. Here are our 3 essential tips to ensure your pet stays happy and secure on the go:

1️⃣ Buckle Up for Safety: Always secure your pet in a carrier or with a pet seatbelt harness. This protects them and prevents distractions while driving.

2️⃣ Pack Pet Travel Essentials: Don’t forget food, water, a leash, waste bags, and their favorite toy for comfort. Make sure their ID tag and microchip info are up-to-date, just in case!

3️⃣ Plan for Pit Stops: Schedule breaks every 2-3 hours for potty breaks, stretching, and hydration. Never leave your pet alone in a parked car!

Keep these tips in mind, and your pet will enjoy the journey as much as the destination! If you have questions about keeping your pet safe on the road, feel free to reach out to your trusted Cloud Peak Vet Clinic at (307) 347-2781!

As we prepare to ring in the new year, fireworks can be both exciting and stressful—especially for our furry friends. The loud sounds and bright flashes can cause anxiety, sometimes even causing physical responses, so here are a few tips to keep your pets safe and calm during the celebrations:

- Create a Safe Space: Set up a quiet, comfortable area away from the noise with their favorite blanket, toys, or even calming music.

- Stay Indoors: Keep your pets inside during the fireworks show to avoid any accidents or escapes.

- Avoid Loud Noises: If possible, muffle the sound of fireworks with closed windows and curtains, and consider using a white noise machine or fan to help mask the noise.

- Comfort & Reassurance: Stay with your pets and offer comfort—your presence can be reassuring during stressful moments.

Winter is here, and while the chilly weather can be beautiful, it also brings unique challenges for our furry friends. Here are some quick tips to help keep your pets safe and cozy during the cold season:

Bundle Up: Short-haired and small pets may benefit from a cozy sweater or jacket. Make sure it fits well and doesn’t restrict movement.

Watch for Ice & Salt: Ice and de-icing products can harm your pet’s paws. Wipe their paws after walks and consider pet-safe booties.

Check Under the Hood: Cats may curl up under car hoods for warmth. Give your car a tap or honk before starting it up.

Limit Outdoor Time: If it’s too cold for you, it’s probably too cold for your pet! Keep outdoor time short and sweet, and check out our blog to learn more about frostbite:
