We want to inform you of the serious effects of a rodenticide poison called bromethalin. Bromethalin is a new generation rat/mouse bait, and it is very toxic to the central nervous systems of animals, usually causing death.

💔Bromethalin is not an anti-coagulant, unlike other rat poisons.
💔THERE IS NO ANTIDOTE once this poison is absorbed.
💔Even small amounts can be fatal to pets.
💔 Time is critical. If you suspect exposure, call your veterinarian or Pet Poison Helpline (855.764.7661) immediately.

These cases are heartbreaking for pets and humans. Please double check your garages, sheds, barns, etc for forgotten rodent bait. If you must use poison, do not use bromethalin (Meth=BAD☠️)! Instead, use one that is reversible with vitamin K—it will give your pet a chance at treatment.

Of course, we recommend no poison at all and suggest getting a cat (or two) instead! 🐾🐱🐾

We are so grateful to care for your beloved pets. Our team works hard to make your pets feel safe while in our care; we want to provide as calm and comfortable an environment as possible.
Even so, we know there is a risk of being bitten by a dog. Dogs may bite when they are scared, in pain, or feel cornered—all of these situations could occur in a veterinary clinic. A single bite from a dog can lead to serious physical and emotional harm.
Add to this that our team members are often working in close, vulnerable positions--crouching, holding, and treating animals--so our faces, hands and arms are directly in harm's way if a dog bites.

10 years ago this week, our veterinary technician, Carrie, was taking an X-ray of a dog on a busy Saturday morning when she was badly bitten in the face. She had to get multiple stitches and still has a scar. As traumatic as that event was, Carrie was determined to keep caring for animals. She has continued to serve our team and our patients and we are grateful. 💜

We humbly ask you to join us in our continued pursuit of safety for our team and your pets. The following things are helpful to us:
🧡 Allow us to handle your pet in the safest way possible, even if it looks a little different than you expect.
💚Allow us to muzzle your dog, even if he has never bit. We often will muzzle as a precaution.
💛If we suggest giving sedatives prior to your dog's appointment, please accept this advice. It is not because you have a bad dog--it is because we have seen many, many similar animals in the same situation, and it is for our team’s protection.
💙If your pet has a history of fear, aggression, or bite incidents, please share that information with our team.

Thank you for helping us as we continue to care for your pet family. 🐾❤🐾

Diane is retiring May 30, and it is well deserved! Those of you who know Diane know that she is a GEM. ❤ She is one of the kindest, sweetest people we know. We are incredibly fortunate to have had Diane at LRSA for 19 years. Diane helped create a culture where our team, our patients and their families felt truly cared for. She's been our quarterback, calmly keeping our clinic running smoothly and efficiently in sometimes chaotic and stressful situations.

THANK YOU, Diane, for everything you’ve done for our clinic, our team, and the countless pets and families you’ve touched over the years. 🐾 Thank you for your dedication and hard work and for your service to our community. We will ALL miss you. We wish you abundant blessings (and many more kitties) in your retirement.💜🐾💜

At LRSA, our heartbeat is to provide high quality, compassionate and affordable veterinary care for our patients and clients. With the recent closure of two veterinary clinics in our area, we’ve seen a significant increase in demand for our services. This demand, coupled with limited staffing, rising inflation, and increased costs of delivering veterinary services has made it challenging to maintain a healthy work-life balance for our team.

Because of this, we have consolidated our staffing to have a full team 4 days a week. We are seeing appointments and surgeries M,T,W and Fridays. On Thursday, our clinic is open, but has limited team members and no veterinarian.
Our schedule is booked out farther than it has ever been, which we know is inconvenient for you. Thank you for your patience as we navigate this busy time. If you are a current client with a sick pet, we will make every effort to see your pet immediately.

We thank you for your trust and loyalty to our clinic. It is our privilege to serve you and your pets. 🐾❤️ See less

Harvey is a 145 pound Saint Bernard who came to us for his wellness check. He is gentle and calm, which is a good thing because he is the size of a small horse!😉
Working with these bigger pets takes a toll on our team’s bodies, so we really appreciate when they are trained to be polite and well mannered.🐾🐾🐾
