Canoe Ridge Kennels - Canine Pub

04/30/2022

We give thanks each and every day here for the involvement and support of our local veterinary clinics. A special thanks to our kennel veterinarian, Decorah Veterinary Clinic, for always being available for questions and care. All of the clinics in our region are exceptional.

World Veterinary Day is an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of veterinarians to the health of animals, people and the environment.

The veterinary profession is a profoundly rewarding pursuit. Safeguarding animals against illness is a passion for most veterinarians. Veterinarians are called upon to ensure their patients have a voice and an advocate for their welfare.

Veterinarians are aware that this burden can be physically and mentally taxing. Stress, burn out, and other health issues have risen in recent years. The veterinary community needs your support to help battle these issues. Please thank your veterinarian. It may be the gesture that helps them get through the day.

Quincy is receiving IV fluid treatments and medications at the kennel for the next 7 days. He has no appetite. Praying this turns around and his kidneys begin to function enough to sustain him on a new diet. Thanks to those who have asked about his health.

Reminder for those of you boarding over Easter : please make sure you or your vet clinic have supplied us with current vaccine history. We need your help with this. It takes too much time away from pet care to chase the paperwork. All of the vet clinics email to us so a simple request to them will handle it. Thanks for your help with this. We want to make sure we are in a position to help you instead of turning you away for lack of vaccine info.

Also a reminder to everyone of the semi-annual bordetella requirement. A full 5-7 days must pass after vaccination before your pet is eligible to board. We are being proactive and appreciate everyone's willingness to make sure our pets are protected.

We also need prayers for our office cat, Quincy. He is being treated for severe kidney disease and we will know by tomorrow if the measures being taken in the past 48 hours will help at all. It is very likely that it will not. Please say a prayer for Quincy. So many of you have enjoyed him over the years. He is 10 years old. I know the kids will miss him as will Joy, Maddison, and I. We had no idea this was happening until some subtle changes this past week. Most often, by the time people see signs, the kidneys are only working in the 20-25% bracket. We are bummed but hoping for a miracle. An Easter miracle

Tell Tale Heart, by Avey Grouws Band

Just popping a post out here for the pet parents that are traveling and concerned about last night's storms. We have large Great Danes, a big white German Shepard, and a few littlier ones that have bad storm anxiety.

Everyone did fine and rode out the lightning, wind, and noise with a little louder sound from our local Avey Grouws Band. The dogs love the blues! I put this on repeat and away we went!

We board Jeni's (vocalist from AGB) dogs so this is also a shout out to the success of one of our clients.

Our building is insulated well enough that they are sheltered from much of what happens outside.

I'm getting a few texts and emails so thought I'd pop this out here for you.! All is well. Your dogs were rock stars throughout the storms.

If you haven't done it, check out their latest album . It is dog approved https://aveygrouwsband.bandcamp.com/album/tell-tale-heart.

I love walking to the kennel when I see the green light on the Generac generator. Whatever the situation, we will have heat, air conditioning, lights, and water. Expensive but gives peace of mind. Happy Thursday!

We learned of the passing of one of our Canoe Ridge buddies yesterday. We have watched and loved on Rosie for almost 9 years. She became ill with cancer suddenly. Our thoughts go out to her family as I'm sure they are missing her terribly.

Today, the iconic Betty White would have been 100 years old. In her honor, please consider donating to a rescue or shelter and please be kind, today and every day. And be funny....always be funny ❤

I have donated to a breed rescue that is near to my heart. Please consider a donation to an organization that helps pets in need.

Clients report that the roads are plowed and it is normal winter driving. Our lot is also clear and ready for you! Drive safe.

USE CAUTION TODAY COMING TO THE KENNEL!!!!!!!!!

Icy conditions have continued to progress. Driving on the gravel is better than the blacktops but both are icy. Clients report slippery travel and the inability to make corners appropriately. I think the speed at which you drive is a factor.

It has become much worse in the past 30 minutes. Many clients have already arrived so travel is possible driving slow and using appropriate winter weather methods.

Our lot has been treated twice and does remain slick. Please use caution.

Celebrate tonight but be careful.

Cricket says we weathered the storm just fine. No loss of power and things are good.

Winter weather update:

It's very windy at the kennel. We haven't had significant snow but it has drifted in a few areas. The wind has kept our long driveway pretty much blown off!

Joy made it to the kennel fine and my husband has been to town. Locust and Canoe Ridge are snow covered, mostly without a center line visible. It is slippery but very doable at reduced speeds. I can see travel occurring down Drake Hill already this morning.

There should be no problem getting here if you allow extra time and reduce your speed. See you soon.

12/10/2021

Just a reminder to watch our Facebook for postings regarding weather, road conditions, etc. We do our best to update you about road conditions, plow status, and our driveway and parking area during storms. Be safe during this first storm of 2021/2022.

Just a friendly reminder to keep track of your bordetella vaccines. It must be current within 6 months of your check in date. It must be working in your dog's system so administration must be at least 5-7 days prior to check-in. This is according to written advice from our kennel veterinarian, Decorah Vet Clinic.

I'd like to remind you to always keep your records up to date here in case you need emergency services after hours, holidays, or weekends. If the clinic is closed and we can't verify vaccines, we can't help :(

I'd like to be able to help you in your time of need. Just keep your vaccines up to date and make sure we always have a copy!

Thanks for your help in managing your dogs vaccine protocol.

Christmas is coming!
