Some bonds are built over years. 💚

The photo on the left was taken nearly 10 years ago, long before Aubree worked at Habitat. When she joined our team years later, one of the sweetest surprises was seeing a very familiar face walk through the door again. 🐾

Rumble may have a little more gray around the muzzle these days, but some friendships never really change.

Honestly, we think growing up alongside our patients is one of the most special parts of veterinary medicine. 🫶

Not your average backyard hangout. ☀️

Smoke, a 14-year-old German Wirehaired Pointer, spent part of her afternoon relaxing outside with Dr. Peters while receiving electroacupuncture for suspected myositis-related facial muscle atrophy and osteoarthritis support.

Acupuncture in veterinary medicine is used to help stimulate nerves, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and support muscle function. Electroacupuncture adds tiny controlled electrical pulses between specific needles to provide additional targeted nerve and muscle stimulation.

In Smoke’s case, treatment was focused on supporting the muscles and nerve pathways involved in facial strength and chewing, while also helping with overall comfort and mobility.

We think healing in the sunshine with a comfy bed and extra attention sounds pretty nice, too. 💚🐾

At first glance, this mouth looked pretty good during an annual wellness exam. 💚

When we took dental radiographs, we discovered a large cavity and a broken tooth hidden below the gumline. Both were likely causing discomfort, even though it wasn’t obvious on the surface.

The diseased teeth were extracted, and this patient has been much happier since.

This case is a valuable reminder that oral health is whole-body health, and dental X-rays are an essential tool allowing us to see what the eye cannot. 🐾🩺

🪲 Tick season is in full swing.

These two ticks were removed from the same patient during a recent visit… and interestingly, they are two different tick species.

Activity is definitely picking up, which makes this the perfect time to make sure your pet’s prevention is up to date. Prevention is always easier (and safer) than dealing with tick-borne disease after exposure.

Be especially mindful after:
🚨 Hiking
🚨 Tall grass exposure
🚨 Dog parks
🚨 Time near brush or wooded areas

We also wanted to give a quick heads up that Bravecto currently has an instant savings rebate available through the end of May:
💚 Buy 2 doses, get $25 off
💚 Buy 4 doses, get $55 off

If you have questions about the best flea/tick prevention for your pet, we are happy to help! Call us at (208) 429-1818 or text us at (208) 330-3803.

Lighting up the treatment room without even trying.
