Celebrating the Heart-Melting Charm of Cavaliers! 👑🐶
Happy Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Day! Today, we are celebrating one of the most affectionate and gentle breeds on the planet. From their iconic silky ears to those soulful, expressive eyes, Cavaliers have a way of capturing hearts wherever they go.

At West Ridge Animal Hospital, we know that these dogs are more than just pets—they are professional snugglers and constant companions. Whether your Cavalier is a master of the "Cavalier lean" or the undisputed ruler of the sofa, we are so grateful for the joy they bring to our Greeley community!

A Little Love for the Breed:
Cavaliers are known for their incredibly sweet temperament. Because of their "Velcro" nature, they thrive on being right by your side. We love seeing them in the clinic, where they usually greet our team with a wagging tail and a happy, friendly attitude!

Does your Cavalier have a signature move? Whether it’s a funny sleeping position, a favorite toy, or a "royal" greeting they give you when you get home, tell us in the comments! Share a photo of your favorite "King Charles"—we’d love to see them! 👇

Going above and beyond for ALL creatures, great and small! 🔬🐢
​When this Western Painted Turtle was brought in after being hit by a car, Dr. Oglesby sprang right into action. Using a creative and highly effective beeswax technique, she was able to repair the shell so this sweet girl can avoid the complications of "dry docking" and return to the water much faster.
​Lunch breaks can wait when there is a life to save! 🥪❌🐢✔️
​See the original post below from the Colorado Reptile Humane Society (CoRHS) to read more about this unique recovery journey. We are so grateful for their partnership and dedicated rehab care!

Keep Your Pets Safe This Independence Day! 🎆🐾

Did you know? Independence Day is the #1 day for lost pets across the country. With backyard BBQs and neighborhood fireworks, pets can easily get spooked and slip through an open gate.

The whole team at West Ridge Animal Hospital wants to help you and your furry family members have a stress-free holiday! Here are 5 essential tips for keeping your pets safe this summer:

𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐩: Ensure your pet’s microchip information is current and their collar has a readable tag. If your pet isn't microchipped, call us today—it’s the best way to ensure they find their way home.

𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲: If your dog suffers from noise anxiety, don’t wait until the first firecracker goes off to seek help. Call us now to discuss medication or support options!

𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧: Set up a quiet interior room or a cozy crate where your pet can feel secure away from the noise.

𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲: Get those walks and playtime in early in the day, before the evening festivities and fireworks begin.

𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞: Double-check your fences and gates. If you are having guests over, make sure everyone knows to keep the exits closed tight!

We are here to help you get prepared! Give us a call at West Ridge Animal Hospital if you need an appointment or just want to chat about your pet's specific safety plan.

Double the Awareness, Quadruple the Protection! 🛡️🐾
As the weather warms up across Northern Colorado, pests like mosquitoes and ticks are officially making their seasonal comeback.

Fortunately, keeping your pets safe from these threats doesn't have to mean juggling a counter full of different medications. The whole team at West Ridge Animal Hospital loves a streamlined solution, which is why this is the perfect time to talk about Quattro!

Why Quattro is a Game-Changer:
Powerful Heartworm Prevention: Quattro utilizes moxidectin, a highly effective, trusted ingredient that stops heartworms in their tracks before they can cause damage.

Tick & Lyme Defense: It provides robust protection against the specific ticks responsible for transmitting Lyme disease.

Broad-Spectrum Coverage: Beyond mosquitoes and ticks, it keeps your pet safe from fleas and dangerous intestinal parasites.

Protecting your furry family members from the unique risks of a Colorado summer has never been simpler. If you need to update your pet's preventative care or want to learn more about how moxidectin keeps them safe, reach out to us today!
