Kierland Animal Clinic

Today we remember all our beloved pet companions who have crossed the rainbow bridge

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month. Unfortunately, many animals suffer from pain in silence due to their inability to communicate discomfort like humans can. Early detection is key, so be mindful of changes in behavior, physical changes, movement issues, sensitivity to touch, or abnormal vocalizations. If you think your pet might be in pain, book their appointment as soon as possible so we can get them the care they need.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Labor Day!

If your pet isn't microchipped, we strongly recommend booking your appointment, as it greatly increases the chances of reunification should your pet run away.
