Sendero Animal Hospital

11/11/2025

We'd like to start by expressing our heartfelt gratitude to our courageous Veterans who selflessly protected our lives and freedoms. Today, we honor their bravery and celebrate their sacrifices. As an animal hospital, we'd also like to pay tribute to Sgt. Stubby, the canine war hero who served in World War I. Stubby, a stray dog, was taken in by Private J. Robert Conroy in 1917 and became the unofficial mascot of the 102nd Infantry, 26th Yankee Division. He bravely served on the front lines in France for 18 months, detecting mustard gas and alerting his unit to incoming artillery shells. Stubby's heroism earned him numerous awards, including a Wound Stripe and a Gold Medal from The Humane Education Society. We honor Stubby's memory, as well as the bravery and sacrifices of all Veterans, human and animal alike.

If you’ve got that extra fright in mind for Halloween night, remember to keep pet’s safety in mind too! 🕸️Spiderwebs are sure to be spooky, but pets may get them stuck on their paws or chew them, so be mindful of where they are placed. ⚡️Those electrical cords powering the wicked inflatables and strobe lights can also be tempting for pets to chew on. 🧪Dry ice in the witches cauldron can be very dangerous, causing internal and external cold burns, as well as respiratory issues if breathed in. 🔥Open flames: 🎃Jack-o-lanterns, 🕯️candles or 💥fire effects in decorations can be a threat to curious or overly excited pets. Keep your spooky selves safe while enjoying the night! 🎃

Halloween is just around the corner! Save your pets from the candy chaos! Chocolate is like kryptonite for dogs, and candy wrappers, raisins, and xylitol are just as deadly. Keep the candy bucket on high shelves and those trick-or-treat bags tightly sealed. And, just in case, have Poison Control on speed dial: ASPCA Poison Control Phone Number: (888) 426-4435

Halloween can be super confusing for pets! Some love all the attention, while others get really stressed with all the knocks at the door and weirdly dressed people yelling TRICK OR TREAT! 🐈🐩🐾 To keep your furry friends safe, here are some tips for a chill Halloween:
*For super excited pets, keep 'em inside when you're opening and closing the front door. Grab their leash or set up a baby gate - it's safer for both pets and trick-or-treaters!
*For nervous pets, keep 'em calm in a quiet room with some soothing tunes. You can also try pheromone sprays or diffusers like Adaptil. If your pet has severe anxiety, give us a call to chat about mild sedative options. Stay tuned for more tips this week!

Can you find the witch’s hat on this ear swab cytology? 🎃 Ear swab cytologies are samples of debris from ears that is stained on a microscope slide and used to determine if a pet has an ear infection, and what type of infection it is. This helps us determine which type of ear medication would be most effective for each patient!
