Who couldn't love this gorgeous face?

This is Sugar, and she was recently adopted from a shelter in Illinois! She is a 1-year-old Pitbull mix, and we could not get enough of those beautiful, soulful eyes ❤

If you adopted your pet, share their picture in the comments to welcome Sugar to Countrycare!

Why do we recommend physical exams every 6 months? 🤔🩺

The thought of bringing your pet to a clinic every 6 months may seem overwhelming, but we promise that it is in their best interest! Things can change fast for pets, especially at the early and late stages in life. By having them visit us frequently, we can help catch little things before they become potential problems.

These regular exams can:
- Detect early signs of illness before they become serious
- Monitor weight, dental health, and mobility
- Update vaccines and parasite prevention
- Adjust care as your pet ages or their needs change

Even if your pet seems healthy, it doesn't always mean that there isn't something going on. We trust that you know your pet and when something may be off with them, but we'd love to have a chance to find these issues before the pet even notices!

The picture used is a hernia on a dog's stomach, a weak point in the stomach muscle that allows internal organs or tissues to bulge out. While they can grow to be extremely dangerous, this one was discovered and resolved at an early stage.

This preventative care measure is key to a longer, happier life for your furry family member. So, if you've been putting off that appointment for a while, give us a call to get one scheduled! (920) 863-3220

Share a picture of your pet in the comments that shows of their personality!

As your vet, we don't always get to see the fun and silly side of your pets. So, when we receive an update with a picture like this attached, it makes us happy to see they're doing well.

This is Astrid, and she was just adopted out of Pennsylvania by her new owner. Based on her first few appointments and pictures like this, we are excited to watch her grow up and spread her happiness to others!

It's Taco Tuesday! 🌮

This beautiful girl is named Taco, and she is a 3-year-old mixed breed. But, if you think she's mild, you're wrong. She always loves adding some boldness and spice to everything she does in the best way.

If you named your next pet after the last thing you ate, what would their name be?

This bunny has just hopped into the perfect home!

Formerly called Eugene, Grampa Sweetheart is a 7-year-old Holland Lop. He arrived at his new home with a big appetite and needing some extra pampering time. Thankfully, his owners are happy to give him all of the hay he can eat and brush him out as much as he needs. He even has a new bunny friend, Cookie!

If you've adopted an adult/older pet, share their picture in the comments and tell us a bit about their story!

There is a saying that's been gaining popularity recently, and it always hits home:

"To us, a pet is a small part of our lives, but to them, we are their whole world."

It never feels fair that pets have such short lifespans, sometimes making us love and remember them longer than we've known them. In this article by our Vet Assistant, Becky, she dives into the loss of her beloved dog, Hilda, and how she's been navigating that journey since.

Please give it a read, then share what advice you would give to someone going through this kind of loss.

Countrycare Animal Complex offers modern veterinary medicine with old-fashioned caring, including holistic, wellness, and surgical services.

Don't worry, we don't just spoil cats and dogs over here!

These two rascals are Squeakers and Lenny, and they spent a whole day with us last week. Our front staff was sad to let them go after a long day of cuddles and chilling together. Any time a pet loves cuddles, you can count on our staff to give them some extra loving!

Share a picture of your exotic pet in the comments to say hello to Squeakers and Lenny!

Did you know that Bearded Dragons can see more colors than we can?

This is Java, a 7-month-old Beardie! Although it was only their first appointment, Java was very brave and enjoyed looking around at everything that was going on. This is always expected when we have a new patient, since everything is new to them. However, it must be especially odd for Beardies, as they're able to see more colors and even UV light!

Doesn't Chevy have the sweetest face?

She is a 2-year-old German Shepherd and, like many of this breed, she can be a bit shy when it comes to his exams. For pets that may need a little extra comfort, we are always happy to figure out what best suits that pet's needs. In Chevy's case, having her owner right in front of her helped keep her happy and calm.

Share a picture of your German Shepherd in the comments to welcome Chevy to Countrycare!

Look at this little nose!

You know something that makes her even cuter? Her name being Lil Moo ❤

If you have a small, share their picture in the comments to join Lil Moo!

Did you know that today was the first day of fall? 🍁

Roxy is a Greyhound, which means she only has 2 modes: sleep and speed! But, when a squirrel decided to run across the lawn, she thought she would go after it. Unfortunately for her (but very fortunate for the squirrel), she injured her toe in the chase and had to come and see us.

This was from her second visit for her toe, but it was already healing up beautifully with the help of a few stitches and laser therapy. To get her in the mood for everything pumpkin-themed just around the corner, we made one for her cast 🧡
