🦷 Your pet's breath might be trying to tell you something.

We know, we know. Nobody expects puppy kisses to smell like peppermint. But persistent bad breath can be a sign of dental disease.

Other things to watch for include:

Red or swollen gums

Dropping food while eating

Chewing on one side

Pawing at the mouth

Changes in eating habits

Dental problems can be uncomfortable, even when pets are doing a pretty good job hiding it.

R Veterinary at Columbia offers dental cleanings and tooth extractions when needed. If it's been a while since your pet had their teeth checked, let's get that on the calendar.

Call 573-443-7274 to schedule a dental evaluation.

Now be honest: Which pet in your house has the worst breath?

The team at R Veterinary is dedicated to “working ourselves to the bone” to provide the best level of care for your pet.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that Holiday Candy, especially chocolate and Xylitol (a common additive to sugar-free candy) is toxic for your pets.

From all of us at R Veterinary….
We hope that you and your pets have a Safe and Happy Halloween! 👻

🦢 Do you all remember Fish?

Fish is the beautiful swan Dr. Chenoa cared for in August before he made his way to Jenny's Wildlife Rehabilitation for continued care.

Now, Fish is looking for his next chapter — a safe, appropriate place where he can spread his wings, enjoy life, and be the swan he was meant to be. 🦢

We’re sharing Jenny’s post in hopes that it reaches the right people and the right home for this special guy.

If you know someone who may be able to provide the appropriate care and habitat Fish needs, please share this post and help us get the word out!

We’re rooting for you, Fish. ❤️

We love supporting the students who will be caring for our communities’ pets for years to come. 🐾

We’re excited to support the MU Veterinary Students Dog Jog, a student-led event that raises funds for veterinary student scholarships.

Investing in veterinary students means investing in the future of veterinary medicine. We’re proud to cheer on the next generation of veterinarians, support their journey through school, and celebrate the passion they’re already bringing to the profession.

So grab your pup, lace up your shoes, and join the MU veterinary students for a great day supporting a great cause!

We’ll be cheering you on! 💚🐶

Tonight, R Veterinary Columbia was down at the Lake of the Ozarks with our friends at K9s On The Front Line for an awesome night to honor our Veterans and First Responders.

K9s On The Front Line, a non-profit organization that provides service dogs at no cost to the Veteran or First Responder, hosted an event at “The Encore” to not only honor a Veteran and a First Responder with a service dog, but also to bring awareness to the struggles these men and women face after their service. The struggle is real for many of these men and women and K9sOTFL is there to support them as the attempt to transition back to a normal life.

The event featured America’s Got Talent’s renowned ventriloquist “Terry Fator” (Season Two) who put on an amazing show, in addition to a Live and Silent Auction to raise funds to help support K9sOTFL’s mission of providing Service Dogs in conjunction with Physical and Emotional Health Services to our Veterans, Active Military Personnel and the First Responders of our Communities.

Huge shout out to K9s On The Front Line, Terry Fator and the Terry Fator Foundation, and The Encore for an awesome evening. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do to support and fight for the men and woman who have put their lives on the line everyday.

A special thanks to R Veterinary Columbia’s Veterinarian Dr. Chenoa and Veterinary Assistant Emmasue… along with their Families , for representing our Company’s ongoing commitment to our Veterans and First Responders, the four- legged “Battle Buddies” that help them daily and the organizations that fight to support them.
