Renee's Pet Care

21/11/2022

This is a tough post to write because it was an incredibly hard decision to make. At the start of the year I will no longer be offering pet sitting. Most of you know that I have a full time job and have been offering pet sitting in my free time for the past almost 4 years. I'm really hoping to get that free time back so that I can focus on myself and my future endeavors. You all have been the best and I'm going to miss all the pets (and humans) I've grown so close to ❤️

Many of you know how much I love my own fur baby and ask about her often. Sadly my sweet Khloe has crossed the rainbow bridge. Pets are truly a treasure and I was so lucky to have her in my life ❤️

Dates in June where there will be no ER service at Blue Pearl 😔

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PET PARENTS IN EASTERN IOWA: EMERGENCY SERVICE CLOSURE DATES.
Blue Pearl Veterinary Specialty Hospital Cedar Rapids dates of upcoming closures. This is for their emergency service only. Internal medicine and Dermatology remain open for appointments. It is VERY important that pet owners from around Eastern Iowa receive this information in case your pet has an emergency. The hospital only posts closures the day they are closed and we feel more time and information is needed for pet parents to prepare for alternate plans. We will keep you updated. This hospital is in crisis due to a lack of staff and doctors. This is happening around the country and we can’t lose our access to emergency and critical care in and around the Cedar Rapids area, Iowa’s second largest city. Please thank your vets, techs and staff at your personal or emergency clinics. They are working hard and doing their very best to take care of our pet patients. They deserve our compassion and respect.
Wednesday June 8th-ER Closed.
Thursday June 16th-ER Service Closed.
Saturday June 18th-ER Service Closed.
Sunday June 19th-ER Service Closed
Wednesday June 22nd-ER SErvice Closed
Thursday June 30th-ER Service Closed.

We suggest talking to your family vet about this looming crisis. Here are the only remaining 24/7 Emergency Clinics in Iowa. Blue Pearl Des Moines remains open and staffed. Their number is 515-727-4872. It is doubtful that they can handle all patients needing to come from the Cedar Rapids and surrounding area, however.
Iowa Veterinary Specialists in Des Moines is open and staffed. 515-280-3100.
Lloyds Veterinary Medical Center at Iowa State in Ames can also be called though they limit their emergency intakes based on staffing. 515-294-4900.
Bright Eyes and Bushy Tails in Iowa City can take emergencies. they are open 8am-8pm. Their number is 319-351-4256.
The sad reality is we do not expect this to improve in the future.
