💉🐾 August is National Immunization Awareness Month!

Vaccinations are one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your pet from serious, preventable diseases.

Our goal is always the same: lots of love, as little stress as possible, and great preventive care. ❤️

Not sure if your dog or cat is due for vaccines? Give us a call or send us a message—we're happy to check your pet's records and help keep them healthy.

🌡️Too hot for you? It's too hot for them, too! 🐾

Keep those tails wagging this summer:
💧 Fresh water = always
🌳 Shade = yes, please
🚫 Parked cars = never
🌅 Walk early or late, not during peak heat

If your pet is panting excessively, drooling, weak, or vomiting, don't wait, heatstroke is an emergency.

Stay cool, furriends! 🐶🐱❤️

🐾 Nail Trims Shouldn't Be Traumatic

At State Ave Vet, we're a Low Stress Handling® Certified hospital. That means we try to make every visit as calm and positive as possible.

A nail trim may seem simple, but for some dogs and cats it can be one of the most stressful experiences they have. If we create fear during something that isn't medically necessary, we've made future veterinary visits harder for both the pet and the family.

That's why our approach looks like this:

🐾 Most pets: We recommend an experienced groomer, such as Woofta Pet Shop, for routine nail trims.

🐾 Pets that are anxious: We can prescribe calming medication and may recommend in-home services like Traveling Tails Pet Care, LLC where pets can also learn to become more comfortable with nail trims.

🐾 Pets with severe fear or past trauma: Some animals simply cannot have their nails trimmed safely while awake. In those cases, sedation may be the kindest and safest option.

💙 As a bonus, every patient receiving sedation or anesthesia for another procedure receives a complimentary nail trim whenever possible.

This has been our approach for more than 15 years because our goal isn't simply to get the nails shorter—it's to protect your pet's long-term emotional well-being.

Every pet is different, and we're always happy to help determine the least stressful option for your individual pet.

🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙

While you're enjoying the BBQ, sparklers, and fireworks, your pets might be wondering why the sky is making so much noise. 💥🐶🐱

Keep the celebration fun for everyone:
❤️ Create a quiet, cozy hideaway indoors.
🤍 Double-check collars and ID tags before the festivities begin.
💙 Skip the table scraps. Holiday treats aren't always pet-friendly.
🐾 Give your furry family members plenty of love, cuddles, and reassurance throughout the evening.
🐾 If your pet gets anxious during fireworks, provide a cozy space and use any calming medications as directed by your veterinarian.

Here's to a day full of great food, happy memories, wagging tails, and safe celebrations. Have a fantastic Fourth of July! 🇺🇸✨

6 fractures. 3 broken legs. 8 hour surgery. 3 days later…..Clara is on the mend!

06/27/2026

Remember the puppy who underwent an 8-hour surgery on Tuesday to repair six fractures in three different legs?

Just three days later...look who's already taking some careful steps. ❤️🐾

This little Blue Heeler, Clara, still has a long road ahead. Bones need time to heal, and she'll continue to need careful monitoring and rehabilitation. But seeing her comfortably bearing weight this soon after such a complex surgery is incredibly encouraging.

We also want to recognize her owners Tanner Olson. Alexis Marie When they found their young puppy injured along the road near their ranch, they made the decision to give her every possible chance. They've been by her side throughout her hospitalization, trusting us with her care while she recovered from surgery.

Recoveries like this are never the work of one person. They reflect a partnership between dedicated owners, a skilled surgical team, and the veterinary technicians and assistants who have been monitoring, medicating, comforting, and cheering her on around the clock.

Thank you to everyone who shared and commented on our previous post about Dr. Raul's surgery. Your kindness meant so much to our entire team.

Today we're celebrating an important milestone—and looking forward to many more. ❤️

I snapped this photo of Dr. Raul after he finished an 8-hour surgery today.

A 5-month-old Blue Heeler was referred to our clinic after being found injured along the road. She had six fractures involving three different legs. The injuries were severe, but Raul spent the entire day focused on giving this little dog the best possible chance.

The surgery was incredibly complex, and when it was over, I found him sitting on the floor for a moment before moving on to the next thing that needed to be done.

People often see the finished product—a dog walking again, a happy family, a successful outcome. They don't always see the concentration, skill, perseverance, and sheer physical and mental effort that happen behind the scenes.

We are incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Raul on our team serving the entire region. His dedication to his patients and their families is extraordinary.

The puppy is recovering well, and for now, all three legs have a chance to be saved.

Some days we're reminded just how lucky we are to work alongside people who quietly do extraordinary things.

🐾 June is National Microchipping Month! 🐾

A collar can fall off, but a microchip stays with your pet for life. Microchipping is a safe, simple, and effective way to help reunite lost pets with their families.

Take a moment this month to verify your pet's microchip information. A quick update today could make all the difference if your pet ever goes missing.

❤️ Because every pet deserves the best chance of finding their way home.

Animals speak the universal language-

Just above the entrance to our clinic, a mama robin is busy feeding her three growing babies. A client caught this beautiful moment on video and shared it with us.

Whether it's a robin caring for her nestlings or a family caring for a beloved pet, nurturing and protection are powerful instincts shared across the animal kingdom.

At State Ave Vet Clinic, creating a place where animals feel safe and cared for is at the heart of everything we do. We like to think this robin family sensed that too.

Enjoy this little dose of nature and motherhood. ❤️
