🦴🐾 Arthritis in Pets: What to Watch For 🦴🐾 Just like people, pets can develop arthritis- especially as they age. This joint condition can cause pain, stiffness, and make it harder for your dog or cat to move around comfortably. Common signs include: limping or stiffness, trouble jumping or using stairs, less interest in play or walks, or licking and chewing at joints. Arthritis is typically caused by aging, injury, obesity, or joint issues. While there is no cure, arthritis can be managed, with treatment options like pain relief and joint supplements. If you think your pet may be showing signs of arthritis, we’re here to help. Don’t hesitate to reach out—your pet’s comfort and quality of life are our top priorities. 🐾 🐶🐈

🦠 Leptospirosis: A Hidden Danger for Dogs – and Humans! 🐶👨‍👩‍👧

Did you know the leptospirosis vaccine is considered a core vaccine in our region?

What is Leptospirosis?
It’s a serious bacterial disease spread through the urine of infected dogs and wild animals — including raccoons, skunks, deer, possums, squirrels, and even rabbits🐿️🐇. Even apparently healthy dogs can transmit lepto to other dogs and humans.

Risk Factors Include:
✔️ Being outdoors
✔️ Contact with infected animal urine on ground, sidewalk, or other areas
✔️ Drinking from natural water sources
✔️ Contact with dew in the grass

Because of the serious health risks and how common wildlife exposure is, the lepto vaccine is part of the core vaccine schedule we recommend for all dogs in our area. Lepto is also zoonotic meaning that it can be spread to humans.

📅 Not sure if your dog is protected? Give us a call — we're happy to check their records or get you scheduled!

🐾✨ Judging with Cat-titude! ✨🐾

Dr. Amber recently stepped into the spotlight as a judge at the 4-H Cat Show at the Pottawattamie County Fair — and one of our very own stars, Shadow Brandt, was among the fabulous felines on stage! 😻

Fun fact: Judging this show is a proud tradition at our clinic! 🐱
Dr. Lee judged the 4-H Cat Show for over 10 years, and Dr. Hilderbrand-Keck has also brought her feline expertise to the very same ring in past years.

We’re proud to have such passionate, experienced veterinarians who go above and beyond for our feline friends — both in the clinic and in the show ring!

We are so proud of Dr. Hilderbrand-Keck and her dedication to our community! 💙 As one of our valued veterinarians, she continually goes above and beyond—not only for our clients and their pets but for the community at large.

Most recently, Dr. Hilderbrand-Keck volunteered her time and expertise at a vaccination clinic hosted by Midlands Humane Society, helping ensure pets in our area stay healthy and protected. Her compassion and commitment are what make her such an incredible part of our team.

Let’s Talk About Ticks 🐶🐱🐾

Ticks may be small, but the illnesses they carry—like Lyme disease and Ehrlichiosis—can have a big impact on your pet’s health. Even indoor pets can be at risk during outdoor potty breaks or walks in grassy areas.

The best defense? Consistent, year-round tick prevention.
Whether your pet prefers a chewable, topical, or collar, we can help you choose the best option to keep them safe and healthy.

Because the only thing your pet should bring home is love—not ticks. ❤️

📞 Call us today to get started or refill your prevention!

☀️🐾 Summer's here – let's keep our pups safe in the heat! 🐶💦
Warm weather means more outdoor fun, but it also brings some risks for our furry friends. Dogs can overheat quickly, so it’s important to keep them cool with shade, fresh water, and breaks during playtime.

Also, don’t forget the pavement! If the sidewalk is too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws. Try walking early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s cooler.

If you ever notice heavy panting, weakness, or your pup just isn’t acting like themselves, give us a call — we’re here to help! 💛
