“A lot of pet anxiety comes from changes to their households,” Peters says. “It can also occur from a lack of routine and structure and not enough physical activity.”

A lot of people are feeling stressed out these days. Does that rub off on their pets? Many vets and animal behavior experts say pets do pick up on their owners' anxiety.

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, dogs can hear sounds four times farther away than humans. A dark quiet room, compression vests (Thundershirt), white noise machines or music, pheromones (Adaptil), melatonin, cbd and prescription medications can help reduce anxiety. Interestingly, rap or similar music with a lot of drum beats helps. 🥁

Fourth of July is just around the corner, and you may be tempted to take the family pet out to enjoy the festivities. Here’s why that may not be the best idea.

Some dogs are significantly more likely to suffer from diarrhea. The top at-risk breeds include Cavapoo, Maltese, Miniature Poodle, German Shepherd, Yorkshire Terrier, and Cockapoo. Most cases were managed with supportive care. Probiotics were used in 60 percent of cases. Dietary changes were prescribed in 44 percent.
Antibiotics, though discouraged for mild cases, were still used in 38 percent of all cases. The most common was oral metronidazole.
Even more striking, 59 percent of hemorrhagic cases were treated with antibiotics, despite guidelines saying they usually should not be. These decisions seem driven by concern for the dog’s well-being and owner anxiety, not always evidence-based needs.
A recent European panel strongly advised against giving antibiotics to dogs with mild or moderate diarrhea, even if it’s bloody. They emphasize fluid therapy and dietary support instead.

Typical signs include straining in the litter box or urinating outside the litter box, crying out when urinating, frequent passing of small amounts of urine sometimes with blood, and licking the ge***al area. Cats with a blockage of the urethra will become increasingly distressed because the bladder gets progressively more distended and the kidneys can start to fail.

Domestication of cats started over 10,000 years ago. Our cat companions evolved from desert dwelling cats that were adapted to desert conditions with low water availability. They have maintained this ability to live with low...

Is there plenty of shade? Is there grass so the dog can stay off of the pavement at those really hot places? Is there plenty of water? First and foremost, never, ever leave them in a car.

Meteorologist Tommy House sat down with Dr. Rena Carlson, who is the immediate past President of the American Veterinary Medical Association to learn more.

Our Story

Our focus is on providing high quality small animal care for dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets and rodents (hamsters, guinea pigs, mice, rats, and gerbils). We offer a variety of services. Here is a list of what we provide: preventative, medical, surgical, behavioral, nutritional, laboratory, dental, digital radiography and ultrasound.

Please note in the event that your pet becomes acutely ill during regular office hours, current patients of the Madison Animal Hospital are our first priority. Current patients are up to date on their annual wellness exam. Please understand that we have a limited staff and, in some situations, it may be necessary to refer care elsewhere for non-current patients.

Not all illnesses are considered emergencies and, in these situations, we may offer our next available appointment time or may offer hospital admission.

For after-hours emergencies please contact:
