🦇👻Happy Halloween!🐾

Our team had a blast celebrating at the clinic, dressing up, getting into the Halloween spirit, and enjoying a little festive fun. If you visited us yesterday, we hope we brought a little extra Halloween cheer your way! 🧡

While the candy, costumes, and decorations make the holiday fun for us, they can bring a few extra hazards for our pets. A few reminders:

🍫 Keep all candy out of paw’s reach!!

🔊 Watch out for spooky sounds and decor - give your pets a safe space.

🚪 Prevent escapes and watch all open doors.

🕸️ Decorations aren’t toys! Keep them out of reach.

🐶 Pet costume comfort matters.

And speaking of costumes… WE WANT TO SEE YOU AND YOUR SPOOKY CREW! 🎃📸

👇Drop your Halloween photos in the comments! We want to see all the adorable costumes, creative ideas, and Halloween shenanigans.

We hope your Halloween is full of treats, laughs, and just the right amount of spooky! Stay safe, everyone! 🧡🐾

In case you’ve missed the jobless orange menace of the clinic…. He’s still here and still as *helpful* and adorable as ever! 😆🧡🐱🎃

🎃👻 Halloween is creeping up!

Before the trick-or-treating begins, here are a few Halloween safety reminders to keep your pets happy, healthy, and out of trouble!

🍫 Chocolate, sugar-free candy containing xylitol, and other sweets can be toxic to pets. Keep candy bowls and treat bags out of reach. Even candy wrappers can cause problems if swallowed.

🔊 Doorbells, knocking, excited trick-or-treaters, costumes, and constant commotion can be overwhelming. Give your pet a quiet, comfortable space away from the front door. Make sure they have identification and are safely secured so they don't make a great Halloween escape!

🕸️ Keep electrical cords, batteries, candles, glow sticks, fake spiderwebs, and anything chewable out of reach. Curious noses have a way of turning spooky decorations into emergency vet visits!

🐶 If your pet is dressing up, make sure their costume fits properly, doesn't restrict movement or breathing, and doesn't have small pieces they can chew. Never force a costume if your pet isn't feeling it. Their comfort comes before the photo op!

We brought out the art supplies last week for our techs! We've got some seriously creative (and possibly competitive) pumpkin decorators on our team, and we need your help picking a favorite!
👇 Drop your vote in the comments! Which pumpkin deserves the crown?🎃🎨🖌️

🐾 AND NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT PART!
We have some Halloween treats at our reception desk for your festive fur-babies! 🦴
Stop by, say hello, grab a treat, and let us admire your ridiculously adorable side kick! 🧡🖤

🩺🧼 What's a surgical pack? What goes in one??

Ever wonder what goes into preparing for surgery before your pet even makes it into the operating room? Well, it’s a lot more than grabbing a scalpel and saying, “Let’s do this!”.

Our surgical packs are filled with specialized instruments that each have a job. Every tool plays a part in helping our team perform procedures safely and efficiently. Let’s break down of just a few - have a scroll!

🔹 Spay Hook: Small tool, BIG job!

🔹 Hemostats: They’re basically the “hold that thought” tool of the surgical world.

🔹 Metzenbaum Scissors: Precision is the name of the game!

🔹 Towel Clamps: Nobody wants their drapes going rogue mid-procedure!

🔹 Needle Holders: Because sewing a patient back up requires a *slightly* different skill set than fixing a button!

🔹 Scalpel Handle: Sharp, precise, and definitely not something you want rolling off the table!

🧽🫧After use, reusable instruments are carefully cleaned and inspected before being assembled into surgical packs. The packs are wrapped and sterilized in an autoclave, which uses pressurized steam at a high temperature to destroy microorganisms. Sterilization indicators and proper monitoring help verify that the process has been completed appropriately.🦠🚫

And guess what? Not every surgical pack looks the same!
💡Packs can vary depending on the type of procedure and surgeon preference. One veterinarian may have a favorite instrument they can’t live without, while another has a completely different setup. It’s all about having the right tools ready for the job!

💬 CALLING ALL VET MED FOLKS! 🩺🐶🐱
What instruments do YOU include in your packs? Do you have a must-have instrument, a favorite brand, or a tool you swear makes your or your vets job easier?

Some guests steal your heart… and then there’s Bear, who decided ours belonged to her from DAY ONE. 🥹🐶💕

Bear has been visiting us since the beginning of January, and this sweet little Havanese has been winning us over ever since! She’s incredibly well-behaved, sweeter than a belly rub after a long day, and an absolute joy to have around. Between her adorable face, happy personality, and love for belly rubs, what’s not to love?! 😍

But don’t just take our word for it! Here’s what Bear’s mom had to say about her experience with Prairie Hills:

💬 “We chose Prairie Hills because of the excellent tour I got when I first moved here, the awesome staff who are excellent communicators, and the added bonus of knowing there is a vet close by if needed.
We continue to use Prairie Hills because of how the team treats Bear like family, are always kind and accommodating, and go above and beyond when it comes to giving updates and sending pictures, whether Bear is there for a day stay or a few nights. And I know Bear likes it by the way her tail wags on the way in each time!
You guys are the best!!” ❤️

Okay, excuse us while we go cry happy tears in the feed room. 🥹

Bear’s wagging tail says it all, but hearing that our team helps both pets AND their owners feel comfortable, informed, and cared for means more than we can put into words. We know leaving your pet in someone else’s care takes trust, and we’re so grateful to be part of Bear’s village!

💌To Bear’s amazing mom: THANK YOU for trusting us with your sweet girl and for taking the time to share such kind words. We love having you both as part of the Prairie Hills family!
Give that girl a belly a rub for us! 🐶🫶

🌼 Día de los Mu***os de las Mascotas: Honoring the pets who never left our hearts.🕯️

Our pets are never *just* pets. They’re our family. They comfort us on the hardest days, our happiness in the simplest moments, and carry a love so pure that even their absence can leave a hole we never quite know how to fill.

Día de los Mu***os is a beautiful tradition of remembering and honoring loved ones who have passed. For many, that includes the animals who shared our lives, our homes, our beds, and pieces of our hearts. 🐶🐱

This evening, we light a candle, share their pictures, tell their stories, and remember the little things we miss most - the excited greetings, the familiar sounds of their paws, the cuddles, the chaos, and the unconditional love they gave us.

They may be gone from our sight, but they will never be gone from our stories. 🌼🧡

Let’s remember all the beloved pets who crossed the Rainbow Bridge. If you have a furry, feathered, or scaled family member you’d like to honor, share their name or a favorite memory below. Let’s fill this space with their love. 🐾

🐾🌳Do you think boarding should mean your dog spends the day staring at four walls until pickup? We don't!🙅‍♀️🐶

Our boarding guests get multiple opportunities throughout the day to stretch their legs, sniff all the sniffs and explore. They enjoy extended outdoor play-yard time, indoor playroom time, or individual walks depending on their needs, temperament, and care plan. Because a little fresh air, exercise, and enrichment go a LONG way toward making a boarding stay more enjoyable! ☀️🐾

But wait… why don’t we offer group play with other guests? 👀

Because not every dog wants to be everyone’s bestie! Unfamiliar dogs can react unpredictably to new environments, different personalities, and social situations.
Even the most friendly dogs can behave differently in a boarding environment. New surroundings, excitement, stress, resource guarding, mismatched play styles, and overstimulation can turn a seemingly fun play session into a situation nobody signed up for. We’d rather prevent unnecessary stress or conflict than risk an interaction that could compromise anyone’s safety - and that’s perfectly okay!❤️

🌟Our approach? Individualized enrichment with safety in mind.
Dogs from the same household will always have opportunities to play together with owner approval.

Boarding should be about enjoying their stay. We want your pets to go home happy, healthy, and tired! 🐾💙

Text or call to book your next boarding arrangement! Spaces fill up quickly!

💙🐾 VET TECH WEEK FINALE🐾💙
MEET OUR RVTs!

We’re wrapping up National Veterinary Technician Week by celebrating two incredible members of our Prairie Hills family - Stacey and Stephanie!🩺✨

These two bring so much knowledge, compassion, and personality to our clinic. We’re lucky to have them helping care for your pets every day!

🩺 Meet Stephanie, RVT!
Stephanie has a special love for surgery! From preparing patients to assisting during procedures and monitoring anesthesia, she plays a HUGE role in keeping patients safe and comfortable. Her passion, skill, and dedication make her an invaluable part of our medical team. 💙

🐾 Meet Stacey, RVT & Clinic Manager!
Stacey wears many hats - and not just the ones that come with spirit week! 😂 As our clinic manager, she helps keep the clinic running smoothly while supporting our team and ensuring our patients and clients receive the care they deserve. Her leadership, friendliness, and passion make a difference both behind the scenes and in the exam room!

🔎 WHAT DOES RVT ACTUALLY MEAN?
RVT stands for Registered Veterinary Technician. Think of them as highly trained members of the veterinary medical team who work alongside veterinarians.

Becoming an RVT involves:
🎓 Completing an accredited veterinary technology program, often a two-year associate degree.
🩺 Hands-on clinical training in areas like anesthesia, surgery, laboratory diagnostics, radiology, pharmacology, and patient care.
📚 Passing the Veterinary Technician National Exam.
📋 Meeting state-specific registration or licensing requirements.

It takes serious education, technical skill, and a whole lot of compassion to do this job! These professionals are so much more than “the person who holds your pet.” They are an essential part of veterinary medicine. 🐶🐱

Stacey and Stephanie, thank you for everything you do…for our patients, their people, and the entire Prairie Hills team. We appreciate you more than you know! 👏🏼
