It's Back!!! ⛄️🤶🏼🎅🏼

The Holiday season means that it is Senior Wellness Month here at the clinic! We've run this special for 7 years now and it is a great deal to make sure that your senior furry friend is healthy and happy as they enjoy their golden years with you.

The senior special is booked with one of our amazing doctors. They will perform a full comprehensive exam, a complete blood count and blood chemistry testing as well as a thyroid level check. Normally a bundle like this would cost $444.25. We're offering it for 30% off - which is $310.00!

This special runs now through January 31st. We book up quickly so please call soon OR visit our online booking app on our website.

We couldn't find Bernard this morning. Turns out he was just working on playing hide and seek with the pharmacy team members today. Silly elf!

✨Senior Spotlight ✨

Big smiles (and healthier mouths!) for Bridgette and Wheeler today. They are our inaugural senior spotlight patients, both coming in for dentals with Dr. Jason today! Bridgette and Wheeler are both 10 years old!

Dental health is so important for our senior pets, and we love helping them stay comfortable, happy and pain-free in their golden years.

Help us show some love for Bridgette and Wheeler!

Did you know your dog’s gum color is like a mood ring for their health? 🎨👅

✅ Healthy gums = light, powdery pink (think bubblegum vibes! 🍬).
🚨 Weird colors? Uh-oh!

Pale or white gums? Could be anemia or low blood pressure.
Blue gums? — poor circulation, respiratory issues or heart disease🫁🫀
Red gums? Might mean inflammation or infection or heatstroke alert! 🌡️

So, next time you’re brushing those pearly whites (or just sneaking a peek 👀), check the gum color! If you notice anything unusual, don’t wait—call your vet and have your furry baby checked out. Better safe than sorry! 🐾💕

We send wishes for a peaceful Hanukkah season for our clients and patients who begin celebrating tonight. 💛

Hanukkah is a time for warmth, gratitude and togetherness. We know our furry friends make every celebrating a little bit brighter. Whether they're curled up by the Menorah, waiting for a nibble of a safe treat or bringing joy in other ways, they're part of the light you share.

From everyone at Cottage Grove Animal Hospital, we wish you eight nights filled with wagging tails, gentle purrs and peaceful moments with your families. 🕎
