Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition for pets, but it’s also preventable. Dr. Chea from Old Town Animal Hospital explains why veterinarians recommend year-round heartworm prevention for dogs and cats.

Heartworms are spread by mosquitoes, which means pets can be at risk even if they spend most of their time indoors.

Talk with your veterinary team about keeping your pet protected with monthly heartworm prevention.

Some of the most common pet emergencies start right at home. 🏡🐾

Everyday items like chocolate, xylitol (found in sugar-free products), garlic, onions, and even human medications like ibuprofen can be toxic to pets. Know the signs of possible ingestion:
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Lethargy
• Loss of appetite

If you think your pet may have ingested something harmful, don’t wait, call Pet Poison Control or head to your nearest emergency veterinarian right away. Acting quickly can make all the difference. Awareness is prevention.

Even indoor pets can be exposed, which makes prevention an important part of routine veterinary care.

Talk with your veterinary team about the best flea, tick, and heartworm prevention plan for your pet.

Meet Jenna Mayer, Hospital Administrator at Eau Claire Animal Hospital in Wisconsin—someone who literally grew up inside the walls of the clinic she now leads. 🏥

From greeting clients by name to driving an elderly pet parent to the ER because he had no way to get there, Jenna leads with empathy, connection, and fierce dedication. She started as a receptionist nine years ago and now leads a high-performing, deeply rooted team with some members celebrating 10, 20, even 30 years at the hospital.

“I hope people remember my heart—that I poured everything into helping them grow and feel supported.” We’re proud to have Jenna as part of the Lakefield family.

For Jenna Mayer, veterinary medicine isn’t something she discovered—it’s something she grew up inside. Her mother, Jayne, was Eau Claire Animal Hospital’s (Eau Claire, WI) practice manager for 20 years and later owned the clinic prior to its transition to Lakefield. “I was raised here,” ...

Meet Vigo, our first Care Beyond Limits patient! Town and Country Animal Hospital recently helped the very first pet through Lakefield’s new Care Beyond Limits fund: a shoulder-riding, upside-down-snuggling cat named Vigo.

Vigo has battled painful stomatitis for years. When his pain and infection returned again, his family was facing financial hardship, including underemployment and being unable to qualify for standard financing support at the time. That’s when the fund stepped in, becoming the lifeline he needed to receive care and finally get relief.

He’s now recovering and back to what he does best: snuggling on shoulders and charming everyone he meets. This is exactly why Care Beyond Limits exists - to lift barriers when pets need care the most.

More stories to come. 💙🐾

20 New Beginnings start now.
Earlier this month, our PawDoc Surgery + Dental Center team began caring for 20 rescued Italian Greyhounds from a hoarding situation in Smith County, TX. PawDoc Surgery + Dental Center will provide complimentary spay/neuter procedures, dental cleanings, extractions, microchipping, and rabies vaccinations through the Care Beyond Limits Fund, a Lakefield-affiliated charitable program.
In partnership with the Italian Greyhound Rescue Foundation Texas & Oklahoma Chapter, these procedures will give each dog the healthy, happy start they deserve after surviving one of the largest hoarding cases in the region.
As Dr. Joyce Li of PawDoc Surgery + Dental Center shared, “This is more than a medical mission, it’s a story of hope, healing, and second chances.”
Follow along to see how their journey unfolds and visit Italian Greyhound Rescue Foundation Texas and Oklahoma for more information on adoption availability. From rescue to recovery, and soon, to forever homes, we are honored to be a part of their journey 🧡
