🎃👻 A little late to the Halloween party, but we were too busy saving lives and looking BOO-tiful! 🐾

Halloween at Viking Veterinary Hospital was full of tricks, treats, costumes, and of course, plenty of patients keeping us on our toes! 🩺🦇

Even with a busy hospital, our team still found time to have some spooky fun! We love a crew that can handle the chaos, care for our patients, and still show up in costume. 😂🧡

Enjoy a little peek at our Halloween shenanigans! Which costume is your favorite? 👀

Ever wonder why emergency vet visits spike during the holidays? 🚨 From swiped turkey bones to toxic treats left within reach, the festive season brings serious risks for our pets. Take a look at some of the top reasons pets end up in the ER this time of year.

Safety Tip: Keep table scraps, bones, and holiday sweets out of paws’ reach, secure trash cans, and watch for signs like vomiting, a swollen belly, or lethargy. If your pet eats something they shouldn’t or seems unwell, don’t wait. Contact our team right away! 🐶🐱✨

🥜 Peanut butter lovers, this one’s for you!

Not all peanut butter is created equal, especially when it comes to sharing with your pet. Labels like “natural” or “no sugar added” don’t automatically mean a product is pet-safe. Always check the ingredient list for xylitol (birch sugar) and other ingredients that may be harmful to pets. A quick label check can help keep peanut butter treats safe!

❄️ Cold weather is not the same for every dog.

A husky and a whippet can walk out the same door into the same cold morning and have completely different experiences. 🐕

Size, coat type, body condition, age, and health all shift where your dog's threshold sits. A short-coated senior may need a layer long before a young double-coated dog does. 🧥

🐾 Watch for the signs: shivering, lifting paws, slowing down, or steering you back toward home. Those are your cues to head in.

Not sure what your dog needs this season? Give us a call. We are happy to talk it through. 📞

This National Cat Day, we're celebrating our feline companions by highlighting something just as important as belly rubs and treats: their health. 🐾

Cats are naturally skilled at masking discomfort, which means common conditions like kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, dental disease, and diabetes can develop gradually and go unnoticed.

Being aware of a few key signs, changes in thirst, appetite, weight, or energy, can make a meaningful difference in catching these conditions early, when they're most manageable.

Routine wellness visits remain one of the best ways to stay ahead of your cat's health, even when everything seems fine on the surface.

This National Cat Day, consider giving your cat the gift of preventive care. If you have questions or it's time for a checkup, we're here to help. https://vvhidaho-nampa.com/contact/
