🚨Senior Pet Spotlight🚨
Yuki, 10 year old American Pitbull Terrier Mix

Today, Miss Yuki is 10 years young 🎂 - the oldest of all the MVH senior pets! Yuki is our Office Manager, Melissa's dog. Yuki is a literal tank - crashing through life faster than her size and shape would lead you to believe. She's a ball-loving, smiley girl who loves to come to work with her mom - unless she's getting her nails trimmed! Yuki has had her fair share of brushes with medical emergencies and conditions in her 10 years:

✖️ three separate brushes with foreign bodies (she likes to eat inappropriate things)
✖️ intermittent GI issues (see above 🤣)
✖️ torn cruciate in BOTH knees
✖️ achy joints (see above 🤣)
✖️ skin issues

Here's what Yuki gets to combat all of her issues:
✔️ REGULAR visits with Dr. Brown
✔️ annual bloodwork to monitor her overall health
✔️ Omega Benefits for joint health and skin/coat health
✔️ Proviable Forte probiotic to regulate the gut
✔️ Dasuquin Advanced with Eggshell membrane to help with her achy knees
✔️ flea/tick and heartworm prevention

Yuki is a fun-loving doggo who would spend every day at the clinic if she didn't have to have any procedures. She loves people, cats, and chasing the ball; and she'll get you with those eyes! With a little luck and some support, she'll be crashing her way through many more years.

🚨Senior Pet Spotlight🚨
Raven, 9 year old Boxer Mix

Meet Raven - Dr. Brown's eldest fur baby and all around master escape artist. Raven's younger, and very active dog sister, Petra is always wanting to play rough with her. This year, Raven had three episodes, very close together, of neck pain. She would take pain medication that helped, but the injury flared up quickly. In addition to her neck pain, Raven has experience some skin issues in the last few years that needed to be addressed.

Here's what Dr. Brown has done:
🩸 bloodwork to check overall health
💊 pain meds for her neck and achy joints; steroids and Apoquel for skin issues
✔️ year round flea/tick prevention & heartworm prevention
💊 Dasuquin Advanced with Eggshell membrane for joint support

Dr. Brown noticed that from the first day of starting Dasuquin Advanced with Eggshell Membrane, and ever since, Raven has not had another neck pain episode and is able to keep up with her younger dog sister. Keeping her up to date on her preventives and monitoring her bloodwork annually will help keep Raven running with the young dog for quite awhile!

🚨Senior Pet Spotlight🚨
Jupiter, 7 year old Labrador Retriever

Jupiter is one of the pets of our newest Vet Assistant, Tiffany. At 7 years old, Jupiter is just reaching senior pet status, so no sugar face for this boy yet. He is your typical bouncy, happy Lab and shows no signs of slowing down. To help keep him feeling young, there are a few things Tiffany does:

🥚 adds eggs to his food for that extra collagen and protein
🩸 annual bloodwork to make sure all his systems are functioning properly
❤️ Omega Benefits on his food daily to maintain his health - especially for his joints
✔️ probiotics daily to maintain a healthy gut
✔️ flea/tick prevention and heartworm prevention monthly
✔️ annual exam with Dr. Brown to make sure he's healthy overall

Even though he's still acting like a young doggo, Tiffany is doing everything she can to help his system BEFORE issues start showing up. With a little bit of support, we'll get to see this bouncy boy for many years to com!

Staff pet story:
Meet Mika, a pitbull/boxer mix. Mika was our Office Manager, Melissa's doggo for 14 wonderful years and a part-time receptionist at MVH. She crossed the rainbow bridge last summer in all her sugar-faced glory. In 2017, Mika tore the cruciate ligament in her left knee. At the initial consultation, surgery was discussed, but due to cost, that was not the best option. Mika went home on anti-inflammatories and pain meds to get her by and hopefully start building scar tissue. In 2020, Dr. Brown found Veterinarian Recommended Solutions and they did an introductory webinar to highlight their products. Once hearing about Omega Benefits, Mika was immediately put on it due to intermittent bouts of complete lameness in the left leg. After about 6 months of daily use, Mika was no longer lame and limping was very minimal. For the remainder of her life, she was able to get around more freely, even if she was bow-legged🤣. If she happened to miss a couple doses, mom could tell immediately because she would go back to limping. Melissa credits the Omega Benefits for helping give her more quality time with Mika.

Senior Pet Spotlight:
Ham Sammich, 10 year old Domestic Longhair

You may remember seeing Ham Sammich around the clinic briefly a couple years ago. Ham is an FIV positive cat, who was a stray, and he did not thrive living in the clinic. He now lives with one of our Assistants, Amelia. Ham is now loving life at Amelia's house with his human sibling, two doggo siblings, and a new kitten! Ham definitely comes with some baggage:
➡️ food sensitivity
➡️ GI issues
➡️ sporadic "dumpiness"

To keep the Ham Sammich going, this is what Amelia does:

✔️ wet food only
✔️ annual bloodwork to monitor his levels
✔️ Feline Whole Body Support supplement by Standard Process
✔️ yearly wellness exam with Dr. Brown

Ham is a sassy, vocal little beast. He loves and demands attention from everyone. With some TLC and lots of clinic love, Ham will be around for many years to come.

🚨Senior SHELTER Pet Spotlight🚨
Daisybelle, 7 1/2 year old Boxer Mix

Fourth feature from our friends are Homeward Bound Animal Shelter

Daisybelle is a sweet lady of 7.5 years. She's very anxious in the kennels here, but loving and so great to be around - when she's up in the lobby she likes to watch out the window to see who is coming and going, or curl up at my feet under my desk.
We are looking for the perfect place for her to land! - Owner reported a history of a handful of seizures over her life, she has not been on medication due to the infrequency and no seizures have been witnessed by shelter staff, but we know this means she may need extra care by her new family! Do you have a couch with room for Miss Daisybelle? She's ready for a comfy place in your home and your heart. She's great on a leash, and has historically done well with cats, kids, and dogs.

🚨Senior SHELTER Pet Spotlight🚨
Jackson, 6 year old Husky/Collie Mix

Jackson is our third senior dog feature from Homeward Bound Animal Shelter

Jackson is an incredibly handsome 6yr old Collie/Husky mix who's owner, due to health reasons, could no longer care for him. He is looking for a loyal companion, and a yard to roam. Jackson can be a little timid at first, but quickly warms up to new people and wants all the pets! He loves to go for a walk, and is gentle on a leash. He has a history of food or resource guarding, but we've been working on this and would offer any adopter advice on correction with positive reinforcement - hot dogs are a magical tool! For this reason, older kids are best. This sweet boy is more than ready for his second chance.

Jackson qualifies for the senior to senior discount program where adult dogs' adoption fee is only $50 for adopters over 60.

11/17/2025

SENIOR PET SPOTLIGHT:
Diesel, 9 year old Mastiff Mix

Diesel is a fun-loving, marshmallow of a doggo who belongs to Amelia, one of our vet assistants. Diesel has a sweet soul and loves nothing more than to lean on you and get scratches. Amelia has been lucky so far and Diesel has remained pretty healthy. That said, there are still some things Amelia does to keep Diesel healthy:

➡️ annual wellness visits to monitor overall health
➡️ annual bloodwork to keep an eye on important levels
➡️ Dasuquin Advanced with eggshell membrane to help with his aging joints
➡️ heartworm and tick-borne diseases testing annually as well as monthly preventive
➡️ regular walks to keep him active

Diesel is such a good boy, if only he could stay away from the stinky kitties!🦨🦨 Here's to many more years!

Product Spotlight:
Proviable-Forte

Proviable-Forte is a digestive health supplement for both dogs and cats. It contains both prebiotics and probiotics for overall gut health. It's not a product that is just for senior pets, but for all stages of your pet's life.

Why we love it:
✅️ 7 strains of beneficial bacteria, providing 10 BILLION colony-forming units to support gut health
✅️ probiotics help support intestinal health after imbalances, such as diet changes, food sensitivities , dietary indescretions (AKA eating inappropriate things...), or stress from traveling or kenneling
✅️ it's super easy to give - just open the capsule and sprinkle on the food. It even sticks directly to dry food! You can also give the entire capsule if your doggo or cat will take it in capsule form
✅️ backed by research and high quality testing!

We already know that gut health is super important for our pets' overall health, so why not start with something so simple? Proviable-Forte is something that can be given daily if necessary. Our very own 👑 Queen Hazel partakes in it daily on her kibble.

🚨Senior SHELTER Pet Spotlight🚨
Meet our second Senior Pet from our friends at Homeward Bound Animal Shelter:
Samwise, 8 year old Pitbull Mix

Samwise will make you fall hard. This sweet boy is 8 years young, and has been well loved in his life, unfortunately his family's circumstances took a dramatic turn. He's looking for a special home for his golden years that will give him all the love he deserves. He'd love a walking buddy and someone willing to give him all the belly rubs. He loves his favorite Kong toy, and rocks a sweater better than most dogs we know. Good with other dogs, and good with kids. No cats for Samwise, he thinks they look too much like a chew toy!

Don't forget about the Senior to Senior program where an adopter over 60 years old can adopt a 6+ year old dog for only $50!

Senior Pet Spotlight:
Zeus, 8 year old Labrador Retriever

Zeus is the second half of our Receptionist Ari's dynamic duo of Labs (can you tell she has a type?!). Ari adopted Zeus from Homeward Bound Animal Shelter after he was caught gallavanting around the city multiple times. Zeus is now living his best life in the country with lots of area to run. He's not all rainbows and sunshine, though. Like all senior pets, he has some issues:

🔹️ chronic ear issues
🔹️ achy joints
🔹️ frequent butt-scooting

Besides bringing Zeus in for his annual exam with Dr. Brown and getting yearly bloodwork, Ari also gives Zeus the following:

✔️ Zymox with Hydrocortisone for those itchy ears
✔️ Dasuquin Advanced with Eggshell membrane for his stiff, achy joints
✔️ regular a**l gland expression (to keep the carpets clean 😂)

Zeus is your typical fun-loving, big-headed Lab and with Ari's TLC, and a little supplement help, Zeus will be around for years to come!
