Meet Rosemary! 🐾 This sweet girl came in for an emergency dental procedure after breaking one of her main chewing teeth.

Our team is keeping her cozy, relaxed, and closely monitored every step of the way to make sure she stays completely comfortable. She’s currently taking a much-needed snooze while we get her smile sorted out and pain-free! ❤️

Spooky season shouldn't include a midnight trip to the emergency vet! 🎃

Before the trick-or-treaters start rolling in this week, run this quick pet-safety sweep:
🍬 Lock down the trash: Pets will gladly swallow foil and plastic wrappers just to get to the sweet crumbs left behind, risking life-threatening intestinal blockages.

🍫 Keep the stash out of reach: Chocolate is a known hazard, but the sneakier danger in sugar-free candy and gum is xylitol (often listed as birch sugar). Even a tiny amount can trigger severe hypoglycemia and acute liver failure in dogs within minutes.

🚪 Guard the front door: Non-stop doorbells and open doors create prime escape conditions. Set your pets up in a calm, secure back room with their favorite bed, and verify your microchip contact info is up to date.

Have a safe, fun Halloween, and remember, the VetLand team is always here if your little monster gets into something spooky! 🐾

Mesha came back for a follow-up consultation to check on her wound after an accidental run-in with a whipper snipper, and she greeted us like the bubbly, happy girl she always is.

Her wound is healing wonderfully, and we couldn’t be prouder of our brave patient! 🥰

Meet Mesha, our clever acrobat! 🫣

Mesha originally visited us after a run-in with a whipper snipper, which left an awful wound on her front shoulder. While that first repair is healing beautifully, this little acrobat managed to bypass her inflatable donut collar and licked a brand new wound all the way through her skin!

Because of how much the skin moves in that area when she walks, any new stitches would immediately pull through. We will debride and clean the area, but she is now looking at a four to six-month process for this second wound to heal on its own.

We’ll keep you updated on miss Mesha's journey! Here’s hoping for a smooth (and strictly gymnastics-free!) recovery for sweet Mesha. 🥰❤️

Full-body wiggles and the fastest little paws. Meet Rocky! 😁🤍

At just 12 weeks old, this gorgeous Jack Russell is an absolute bundle of fun. If you give him a pat, get ready for the "bum zoomies", he wiggles his whole back end out of pure excitement! 😂

Whether he’s playing with his new puppy friends, or being incredibly brave during bath time, he melts our hearts every single day.

We absolutely love seeing sweet pups like Rocky grow into confident, happy dogs here at the Puppy Academy!

First time in the hydrotreadmill and Harper is already a pro! 🌟

Harper is a beautiful 7-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, and for large breeds like her, hydrotherapy is a great, gentle exercise. It supports joint health, eases pain, and keeps big pups moving comfortably without putting a heavy impact on their aging joints.

Have questions about how hydrotherapy could help your dog? Feel free to comment below or call our friendly team to learn more! 🐾

About a year ago, we saw a sweet patient who was hiding a surprisingly painful secret behind her adorable smile! 🐶

Meet tiny Miss Sophie, who was only 12 weeks old at the time. Every time this brave little pup closed her mouth, an abnormal lower baby fang was digging right into her hard palate, creating a painful hole.
To get her smiling comfortably again, Dr. Vicky took X-rays to ensure the adult tooth underneath was safe before carefully extracting the pesky baby tooth.

Sophie was an absolute superstar during her procedure and finally got to go home completely pain-free. Nothing makes us happier than seeing our patients back to their playful selves! 💙🐾

Notice a double row of teeth in your puppy’s mouth? 🦈 🐶

This is a common condition called retained deciduous teeth (often nicknamed "shark teeth"). It happens when a puppy's baby tooth stubbornly stays in place while the adult tooth erupts right next to it.

Why does it matter?
🦷 Causes crowding and misaligned adult bites
🦷 Traps food and plaque, leading to early periodontal disease
🦷 Can cause pain or damage to the soft tissues of the mouth

Make sure to check your growing puppy's mouth regularly! Routine dental checks help catch this early, so if those baby teeth aren't falling out on their own, it might be time for a vet visit!
