๐พ Choosing the Right Pet for You๐พ
Bringing a pet into your home is a big decision! To ensure you're prepared for the commitment, check out these essential factors:
Lifestyle Fit: ๐ ๐ช
-An active family might thrive with a high-energy dog like a Border Collie, while a quieter household might be better suited for a relaxed cat like a American Shorthair.
Time Commitment: โฐ๐ถ
-Puppies and kittens need lots of training and socialization. Make sure you have time to invest in their early development.
Allergies: ๐ธ๐คง
-If allergies are a concern, consider hypoallergenic breeds like the Poodle or the Sphynx cat, which shed less and may be better tolerated.
Financial Costs: ๐ธ๐
Initial costs can include vaccinations and spaying/neutering. Budget for ongoing expenses like food, grooming, and potential vet emergencies.
Pet Size: ๐๐ฑ
-Large breeds like Great Danes need more space and exercise, whereas smaller pets like Chihuahuas are often more adaptable to apartment living.
Long-Term Commitment: ๐ฐ๏ธโค๏ธ
-Dogs can live 10-15 years, while cats may live 15-20 years. Ensure youโre ready for the long haul!
Compatibility: ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ฆโ๐ฆ๐พ
If you have young children, consider a breed known for being good with kids, like a Labrador Retriever. For multi-pet households, research how new pets interact with existing ones.
Breed Characteristics: ๐๐
-Researching breed traits helps. For instance, Bulldogs may have breathing issues, while Beagles are known for their strong sense of smell and hunting instincts.
Health and Vet Care: ๐ฅ๐ฑ
-Ensure you have access to a vet. Regular check-ups and vaccinations are crucial for preventing health issues.
Adoption vs. Purchase: ๐กโค๏ธ
-Adopting from a shelter can be a wonderful way to give a pet a second chance. If buying, choose a reputable breeder who prioritizes the health and well-being of their animals.
Being well-informed helps ensure that your new pet will be a great fit and that youโre ready for the joy and responsibility of pet ownership. ๐พ๐

๐จ๐ถ Important Warning for Dog Owners! ๐จ๐ถ
Corn on the cob might be a tasty treat for us, but it poses serious risks for our canine companions. Hereโs why you should avoid giving it to your dog:
Choking Hazard: Corn cobs are hard and can easily get stuck in your dogโs throat, leading to choking. This can be especially dangerous if the cob is large or if your dog tends to gulp food quickly. ๐จ
Intestinal Blockage: Even if your dog manages to chew the corn cob, it can cause a severe blockage in their intestines. This blockage may require emergency surgery and can lead to severe pain, vomiting, and lethargy. ๐จ๐พ
Digestive Issues: Corn cob is not digestible and can cause significant digestive upset, including vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. The cob can irritate the gastrointestinal tract and lead to more serious health issues. ๐คข
Potential Toxicity: In some cases, moldy corn cobs can contain mycotoxins that are toxic to dogs. While this is less common, itโs an additional risk to be aware of. โ ๏ธ
For your dog's safety, avoid giving them corn on the cob and opt for dog-friendly treats instead. If you suspect your pup has swallowed a corn cob or is showing signs of distress, contact your vet right away for help. ๐ฅ๐จโโ๏ธ
Letโs keep our furry friends safe and healthy! ๐๐
๐จ๐พ Why Your Pet Needs Protection from Heartworms! ๐พ๐จ
Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition that affects pets, especially dogs. Hereโs why itโs crucial to keep your furry friend protected:
-Potentially Fatal: Heartworms live in the heart and lungs, causing severe damage and possibly leading to heart failure. ๐ค
-Subtle Symptoms: Early stages may show no symptoms. By the time they do, significant damage could already be done. ๐๐ค
-Costly Treatment: Treating heartworms is complex and expensive, involving extensive care and sometimes surgery. Prevention is much easier and cheaper! ๐ธ๐
-Effective Prevention: Monthly heartworm preventatives are highly effective. Your vet can recommend the best option for your pet. ๐
-Protects Other Pets: By keeping your pet on preventatives, you help reduce the spread of heartworms in your community. ๐
-Mosquito Spread: Heartworms are transmitted through mosquito bites. Even indoor pets can be at risk if mosquitoes get inside. ๐ฆ
-Not Just Dogs: While primarily affecting dogs, cats and other pets can also be impacted, though symptoms can vary. ๐ฑ
โค๏ธ Protect your pet today with regular heartworm prevention and routine vet check-ups. Your vet can help you choose the best plan for your furry friend!
๐๐พ Why Spaying and Neutering Your Pet is a Win-Win! ๐พ๐
Considering spaying or neutering your pet? Hereโs why itโs a fantastic choice for their health and happiness:
๐ Benefits:
-Control Overpopulation: Reduces the number of unwanted pets and helps find loving homes for those in need. ๐กโค๏ธ
-Health Boost: Lowers the risk of serious health issues like cancers and infections, leading to a longer, healthier life. ๐ฉบ๐
-Better Behavior: Can decrease roaming, marking, and aggressive tendencies, making for a happier, well-adjusted pet. ๐โจ
-Enhanced Longevity: Spayed and neutered pets often enjoy a longer, more active life. ๐พ๐
-Cost Savings: Prevents the expenses associated with unexpected litters and related health concerns. ๐ธ๐ก
-Reduced Stress: Eliminates the stress of heat cycles in females and can ease anxiety in males related to mating instincts. ๐๐ฑ
โ๏ธ Considerations:
-Surgical Risks: As with any surgery, there are risks of complications. โ ๏ธ
-Health Risks: Slightly increased risk of certain conditions, though overall benefits outweigh these risks. โ๏ธ
-Irreversible: Itโs a permanent decision, so consider carefully. ๐ง
The ideal age for spaying or neutering can vary. Discuss with your vet to find the best timing and approach for your furry friend! ๐ถโค๏ธ
๐๐พ Needle in a Haystack? More Like Needle in a Frenchie๐ถ๐งต!
Meet Lola, the cutest little 8 month old French Bulldog who took DIY a little too seriously. She swallowed a whole sewing needle and 12 inches of thread! X-RAYs showed the location of the needle and Dr. Berndt was able to successfully remove it through the re**um. She woke up feeling much better and a lot more comfortable. No more needle nibbles for you Lola!
๐ฆท๐พ Regular Dental Check-Ups for Your Pet Are a Must! ๐พ๐ฆท
Just like us, our furry friends need regular dental care to stay healthy and happy. Hereโs why scheduling those dental check-ups is so important:
-Prevent Dental Diseases: Regular cleanings help avoid common issues like gingivitis and periodontitis by removing plaque and tartar. ๐ฆ

๐จ The Risks of Using Hydrogen Peroxide ๐จ
At our clinic, we never recommend using hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting. Hereโs why itโs risky and why you should definitely consult your vet before using it:
Risks and Dangers โ ๏ธ
-Gastrointestinal Irritation ๐คข: Hydrogen peroxide can irritate the stomach and intestines, leading to nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In severe cases, it might cause gastritis or ulcers.
-Esophageal Damage ๐ฉน: If your pet inhales hydrogen peroxide while vomiting, it can damage their esophagus and lungs, potentially causing aspiration pneumonia.
-Inaccurate Dosage โ๏ธ: Getting the dosage wrong can be harmful. The correct amount depends on your petโs size and the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide used.
-Delayed Vomiting โณ: Hydrogen peroxide may not induce vomiting immediately, which can reduce its effectiveness if the toxin has already been absorbed.
-Underlying Health Conditions ๐ฉบ: Pets with existing health issues may suffer additional complications from hydrogen peroxide exposure.
-Risk of Aspiration ๐จ:Thereโs a risk of inhaling hydrogen peroxide, which can lead to respiratory problems and aspiration pneumonia.
-Potential Toxicity โ ๏ธ: Excessive amounts of hydrogen peroxide can be toxic and cause serious health problems beyond irritation.
What to Do Instead ๐พ
-Consult Your Vet ๐: Always check with your vet or an emergency animal poison control hotline before using hydrogen peroxide. They can guide you on the best course of action.
๐จ Hydrogen peroxide can be risky for pets and should only be used with veterinary advice. Ensure your petโs safety by consulting a vet and considering safer alternatives.
๐พ Declawing and it's Consequences ๐พ
Declawing cats is a controversial and increasingly banned practice around the world. Hereโs why declawing is harmful and why we should consider alternative solutions to manage our feline friends' scratching behaviors:
What is Declawing? ๐ค
Declawing is a surgical procedure that involves the amputation of a catโs claws, along with the bones they are attached to. Itโs not just a nail trimโit's a serious surgery equivalent to amputating a human finger at the last joint. ๐ช
Why Declawing is Harmful ๐ซ
-Pain and Discomfort: Declawing is extremely painful, and many cats experience long-term discomfort. They may have difficulty walking, climbing, or even scratching, which are natural behaviors for them. ๐ฟ๐
-Issues: Scratching is a natural instinct for cats used for marking territory, stretching, and claw maintenance. Declawing can lead to increased aggression, anxiety, and litter box problems. ๐ซ๐พ
-Health Risks: Declawing can cause complications like infections, lameness, and permanent changes to a catโs gait. These health issues can affect their quality of life. ๐ฅโ ๏ธ
Alternatives to Declawing ๐ฑ
-Regular Nail Trimming: Keep your catโs claws trimmed to reduce sharpness and damage. โ๏ธ๐ค
-Scratching Posts: Provide scratching posts and pads to give your cat a designated area to scratch. This helps satisfy their natural instinct in a positive way. ๐ป
-Cat Furniture: Invest in cat trees and condos that encourage climbing and scratching. These provide stimulation and meet your catโs needs in a safe manner. ๐ฐ๐พ
-Soft Paws: Use vinyl nail caps like Soft Paws to prevent damage while allowing your cat to retain their claws. Theyโre a humane alternative to declawing. ๐พ๐
Declawing is harmful and unnecessary. By choosing compassionate alternatives, we can ensure our feline friends live happy, healthy lives without sacrificing their natural behaviors. ๐๐พ
๐จ Urinary Blockage Alert! ๐จ
If you spot signs that your cat might have a urinary blockage, itโs crucial to act fast! This serious condition needs immediate veterinary attention. Male cats are more likely to suffer more immediate, severe blockages due to having a longer, narrower urethra than their female counterparts. Hereโs what you need to know:
Symptoms of a Urinary Blockage ๐ฟ
-Straining to Urinate: Your cat might be spending a lot of time in the litter box, straining or vocalizing without much urine. ๐งผ๐ง
-Frequent Trips to the Litter Box: Increased trips with little to no urine output. ๐ฝ
-Blood in Urine: Look out for blood or a pinkish tint in the urine. ๐
-Pain and Discomfort: Watch for vocalizing or a sensitive abdomen when touched. ๐ฃ
-Loss of Appetite: Your cat may be eating or drinking less. ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ซ
-Lethargy: Unusual tiredness or lack of responsiveness. ๐ค
Vomiting: In severe cases, vomiting may occur due to toxin buildup. ๐คข
Why Urinary Blockages Are Dangerous โ ๏ธ
-Kidney Damage: Toxins can build up and harm the kidneys if the blockage isnโt treated quickly. ๐ฅ
-Bladder Rupture: An over-distended bladder can rupture, leading to a critical emergency. ๐จ
-Death: Without prompt treatment, a urinary blockage can be fatal. ๐
Treatment may include a urinary catheter to allow urine to flow, IV fluids to help flush out toxins, medications for pain relief, and, in severe cases, surgery to remove stones or correct issues. ๐ฉบ๐
If you see any signs of a urinary blockage in your feline friend, seek veterinary help immediately. Prompt action is crucial for your catโs health and well-being! ๐ฑ๐
๐พ Head Shaking? It Could Be an Ear Issue! ๐ถ๐ญ
If your pet is shaking their head frequently, it might be more than just a quirky habit. Your furry friend may have an ear infection! If you dog has long or folded ears, excessive shaking may lead to an ear hematoma and requires immediate attention!
Have you noticed these symptoms?
-Head Shaking: Your dog might be trying to relieve discomfort. ๐ค
-Scratching: Excessive scratching at their ears. ๐พ
-Foul Odor: Bad smell coming from the ear. ๐
-Discharge: Unusual yellow, brown, or bloody discharge. ๐ด๐ง
-Redness & Swelling:
What to Do:
-Vet Visit: Essential for proper diagnosis and treatment. Your vet might clean the ears and prescribe medication. ๐ฅ
-Ear Cleaning: Follow vet-recommended ear cleaning routines. ๐งด
๐ฉธEar Hematoma Alert ๐ฉธ
The motion of the ear hitting the head can cause blood vessels to break. The blood then starts to fill the space between the ear cartilage and the skin of their inner ear, swelling into a large lump. This is very painful and may rupture!
Signs to Watch For:
Swelling: A fluid-filled sack or puffiness on the ear. ๐
Tenderness: The ear might be sensitive to touch. ๐
Persistent Head Shaking: Discomfort from the swelling. ๐ค
Discoloration: Red or bruised appearance. ๐ด
What to Do:
Vet Care: Immediate attention needed. Your vet may need to drain the hematoma and may suggest surgery. ๐ฅ
Treat the Cause: Address underlying issues like infections or allergies to prevent recurrence. ๐
Remember: If you notice any of these signs, donโt waitโconsult your vet to keep your pet happy and healthy! ๐โค๏ธ

With these steps, youโll help your pet bounce back from that skunk spray! ๐๐ถ
๐พ๐ฉ Why Do Dogs Eat P**p? ๐ค
Ever catch your pup in the act and wonder why theyโre munching on p**p? It might seem gross, but itโs actually quite common! Hereโs why it might be happening:
๐ถ Instinctual Behavior: In the wild, dogs kept their dens clean to avoid predators. This instinct can linger in domestic dogs. ๐ฟ
๐ฝ๏ธ Nutritional Deficiencies: Sometimes, dogs eat p**p to make up for missing nutrients or enzymes in their diet. A balanced, high-quality diet can help! ๐ฅ
๐ Behavioral Issues: Stress, anxiety, or boredom can lead to this behavior. Providing more exercise, mental stimulation, and interactive toys can be beneficial. ๐งฉ
๐ฅ Medical Conditions: Issues like parasites, diabetes, or digestive problems might be to blame. If this is a new behavior or if there are other symptoms, a vet visit is a good idea. ๐
๐ Attention-Seeking: If dogs notice that eating p**p gets a reaction from their owners, they might do it more often just to get attentionโeven if itโs negative! ๐
To help curb this behavior:
-Ensure a balanced diet with all essential nutrients.
-Increase physical and mental stimulation.
-Keep the environment clean and free of f***s.
-Consult your vet to rule out any health issues.
With a little patience and care, you can help your furry friend break this habit! ๐ถ๐
๐พ Wondering about kennel cough? Hereโs a basic guide to understanding, treating, and preventing this common canine respiratory infection:
What is Kennel Cough?
Kennel cough, or canine infectious tracheobronchitis, is a highly contagious upper respiratory disease affecting dogs. It is often spread in places with high dog density, like boarding kennels, dog parks, and grooming facilities. You can even transmit it from an infected dog to another if they've had contact with your hands, shoes, and clothing. The infection leads to symptoms such as a persistent, dry, almost hacking, cough, sneezing, and sometimes a runny nose. ๐ถ๐คง
Veterinary Care: If your dog shows symptoms of kennel cough, consult your veterinarian promptly. They will perform a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment. ๐
Vaccination: Ensure your dog receives the Bordetella vaccine, which can be administered as a nasal spray or injection. This vaccine significantly reduces the risk of your dog contracting kennel cough. ๐
Hygiene Practices: Maintain cleanliness in areas frequented by dogs, including kennels, crates, and shared toys. Regular disinfection helps minimize the spread of infectious agents. ๐งผ
Isolation: If your dog is diagnosed with kennel cough, isolate them from other dogs until they recover to prevent further transmission. ๐ซ๐พ
Kennel cough is generally not life-threatening but can be uncomfortable for your pet. Early detection, prompt veterinary care, and preventive measures are key to managing this respiratory infection effectively.
๐พ Pet owners, hereโs why itโs crucial to follow discharge instructions after visiting our emergency vet clinic:
Vital Care Continues: ๐ฅ Discharge instructions provide essential guidance for ongoing care tailored to your pet's specific needs. This ensures their recovery progresses smoothly.
Medication Management: ๐ Proper administration of medications as prescribed by our veterinarians is critical for managing pain, preventing infections, and supporting the healing process.
Monitoring Signs: ๐จ Keep a close eye on your pet's condition and behavior at home. Any unusual symptoms or changes should be promptly reported to our clinic.
Prevent Complications: ๐ฉบ Follow up with an appointment to your daytime vet to monitor your pet's progress and adjust treatment plans if necessary, reducing the risk of complications.
Post-Op Care: โ๏ธ If your pet underwent surgery, following post-operative care instructions ensures proper wound healing and recovery.
Dietary Guidance: ๐ฅ Nutrition plays a crucial role in your pet's recovery. Follow dietary recommendations provided by our veterinary team to support their overall health and healing process.
Your commitment to following through on discharge instructions and staying engaged with our veterinary team is crucial for your pet's continued health and well-being. Together, we ensure they receive the best care possible!

๐ฟ Discovering injured wildlife or a stray? Hereโs how to help responsibly while prioritizing everyoneโs safety:
Assess the Situation: ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ Approach quietly and observe from a safe distance to avoid causing further stress or harm to the animal. Note any potential dangers nearby.
Call for Help: ๐ Immediately contact local wildlife rescue organizations, like Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, or animal control. Provide detailed information about the animalโs condition and exact location.
Provide Details: ๐ Describe the species (if identifiable), size, and any visible injuries or behaviors. Clear information helps experts prepare for a safe rescue.
Handle Safely: ๐งค If absolutely necessary and safe, use gloves and a towel or blanket to gently contain the animal. Approach slowly and calmly to avoid startling it.
Stay Calm: ๐ Maintain a quiet and calm environment. Sudden movements or loud noises can escalate fear and stress for the animal.
Do Not Feed: ๐ซ๐ Refrain from offering food or water unless instructed by professionals. Incorrect feeding can harm the animal or interfere with medical treatment.
Prioritize Safety: โ ๏ธ Always prioritize your safety and that of others. Injured animals may behave unpredictably due to pain or fear.
Wait for Professionals: Monitor the animal from a safe distance while waiting for trained rescuers to arrive. Avoid handling or attempting to treat the animal yourself, as this could worsen its condition. ๐
