Think your barn cat secretly runs the place? You’re not alone.
Cats have a way of taking over, whether it’s the feed room, the front porch, or your favorite chair. But behind all that swagger, even the most independent cats need care to stay healthy and safe.

In honor of Cat World Domination Day, we’re tipping our hats to our feline overlords and sharing a few reminders for responsible cat ownership:

1. Keep vaccinations up to date, especially for outdoor cats who like to roam and hunt.
2. Watch for signs of parasites like fleas, ticks, and worms, and contact your trusted vet if you find anything.
3. Spay or neuter your feline friend to avoid surprise litters and unwanted wandering off.
4. Keep fresh water available in shady spots, especially during the summer heat.

Whether your cat’s a couch king or queen of the haystack, they deserve regular checkups and proactive care. Give Cloud Peak Vet Clinic a visit or a call at (307) 347-2781 to schedule a wellness exam or ask about parasite prevention for your cat.

Ever had your pet gulp down a treat or toy a little too fast? It’s scary how quickly choking can happen, and it’s more common than you might think.

At Cloud Peak Vet Clinic, we want to help you keep your pets safe and sound. Here are a few easy ways to lower the risk:

- Stick to treats that are size-appropriate and don’t splinter - some bones and rawhides can be dangerous

- Make sure toys aren’t too small or easy to tear apart

- Watch your pet while they eat, especially if they tend to inhale their food instead of chewing it

- Watch out for everyday items like socks, rubber bands, or small kid toys (they’re sneaky hazards!)

If your pet ever seems like they’re choking, including gagging, pawing at their mouth, or struggling to breathe - don’t wait. Call us right away at (307) 347-2781 or come straight in.

We’re here when you need us, always.

Animal Rights Awareness Week is a reminder that compassion extends beyond our front porch.

From the working dogs on the ranch to the cattle in the pasture, responsible care and humane handling are essential to keeping our community strong. Animal welfare isn’t just about the love we give our companions, it’s about knowledge, ethics, and stewardship.

At Cloud Peak Vet Clinic, we’re here to support ranchers, farmers, and families in making informed decisions that protect animal health and uphold humane standards.

Need support with herd health or livestock care? Let’s talk. Call us at (307) 347-2781, use our form below, or stop by for an in-person consultation.

Did you know June is National Microchipping Month? It’s the perfect reminder to give you a little extra peace of mind about your pet and give them a much better chance of finding their way home if they ever wander off.

Microchips are tiny but mighty. They’re a safe and permanent way to identify your pet, even if a collar comes off or a tag goes missing. It’s a quick visit, a small chip, and a whole lot of protection.

At Cloud Peak Vet Clinic, we’re big fans of tiny technology that makes a big difference. Whether your dog loves exploring or your cat’s been eyeing the open door, we’ve got you covered.

Call us at (307) 347-2781 to schedule your pet’s microchip and help them stay safe, sound, and always on their way home.

Emergencies can strike at any time, and when they do, your pet is counting on you to be prepared.

June is Pet Preparedness Month, a great reminder to think ahead:

✅ Does your pet have up-to-date ID tags or a microchip?

At Cloud Peak Vet Clinic, our goal is to help you feel confident and ready for anything that comes your way. Taking steps now can make a big difference in protecting both you and your animals when it matters most.

Today, on World Pet Memorial Day, we pause to remember the animals who left lasting paw prints on our hearts.

Whether they were loyal ranch dogs, curious barn cats, or cherished companions by the fireplace, these pets were more than animals, they were family.

We know how deep that bond runs, and we honor the memories of those who are no longer with us. If you're remembering a beloved pet today, we invite you to share their name, a photo, or a favorite story in the comments. Let’s celebrate the love they gave and the lives they touched.

If you're navigating the loss of a pet and need someone to talk to, our team is here to offer support, guidance, or simply a listening ear. Please don't hesitate to reach out. Call Cloud Peak Vet Clinic at (307) 347-2781.

Today is Best Friends Day, and we’re celebrating the loyal companions who walk beside us every day, on paws, hooves, or curled up at our feet.

Whether they help with ranch work, keep us company on long drives, or greet us at the door with a wag or a nudge, animals have a way of becoming the best kind of friend: constant, loyal, and full of love.

At Cloud Peak Vet Clinic, we’re honored to care for your best friends, big and small. If you’re grateful for your four-legged companion today, give them an extra treat, a long belly rub, or a gentle pat on the nose.

It's National Dog Bite Awareness Week, so let's talk safety and prevention. Dog bites can happen in an instant, even with animals we know and trust. At Cloud Peak Vet Clinic, we believe that education is the first step toward preventing painful injuries and keeping both people and pets safe.

This week, we’re joining the nationwide effort to raise awareness about dog bite prevention. Whether you're a pet owner, parent, or community member, it's important to understand how to read canine body language, teach children safe behavior around dogs, and get your pets the care they need to feel calm and confident.

Check out our blog on this important topic:
"Doggone It: Treating and Preventing Dog Bites" https://cloudpeakvs.com/2021/04/16/doggone-it-treating-and-preventing-dog-bites/

If your dog is showing signs of anxiety, reactivity, or stress, it might be time for a wellness check. We can help rule out any underlying health issues and offer guidance to support safer behavior at home and in the community.

Come on by or give Cloud Peak Vet Clinic a call at (307) 347-2781 to schedule an appointment. We’re here to help keep your pets calm, healthy, and safe.

No matter how well-trained your pup is, they still have the capacity to be an unpredictable animal. None of this is said to scare you, more so to bring awareness to an entirely preventable situation. While April is Dog Bite Awareness Month, we at Cloud Peak Vet think it is crucial for any dog owner....
