My Home Bound Hound

This is the tragic side of well intentioned but grossly misguided “rescue” efforts. Unfortunately, it’s always the animal that suffers. Instead of click bait, tear jerking stories; how about we advocate and actively promote good stewardship and responsible pet guardianship?

An 18-year-old Dearborn man was given a quarter-million dollar bond after he allegedly beat a dog so badly it had to be put down.

Sungin Kai Nelson has been charged in connection with the death of an animal that was adopted months earlier. Officials say Nelson abused the dog for several months before it was eventually euthanized due to injuries. The dog, named Ice, had been adopted from the Dearborn Animal Shelter.

According to an officer that gave a statement prior to the suspect's arraignment, the dog suffered a "brutal and prolonged attack."

Friendly reminder:
DOG TRAINING AND DOG GROOMING
are unregulated businesses!

I can sit at a computer and create, “The Great Lakes Academy of Dog Training,” print out really nice docs attesting that someone is a graduate and now, a “Certified Dog Trainer.” It doesn’t mean s**t. There is no licensure or state requirements for dog trainers or groomers.

The proof is in their resume and in what have they have accomplished.

Now, go walk your dog!🐾🐾

NOT all veterinary clinics take the time to clean and treat exam rooms and treatment areas after a pet that has fleas. Griffith Veterinary Hospital provides excellent care with an amazing and dedicated staff. They don’t cut corners or take chances with the level of care they provide.

🌷 Hello, Spring! 🌷

The first day of spring is finally here, and we’re so excited to welcome warmer weather, longer days, and more time outdoors with our pets! 🐾☀️

As you and your furry family members start getting back outside, it’s the perfect time to make sure they’re protected and up to date on their care. Spring brings increased exposure to parasites, bacteria, and viruses that can put your pet’s health at risk.

💉 Vaccines matter: Staying current on vaccines helps protect your pet from common but serious illnesses they may encounter at parks, on walks, or around other animals.

🛡️ Prevention is key: Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention should be given year-round—and we want to remind everyone that we have seen fleas all winter long, even during the cold months when many assume the risk is low.

🚨 What we’re seeing now:
As temperatures rise, we expect a significant increase in flea activity, especially in pets that are not currently on prevention.

⏱️ Important note for visits:
Pets coming in with fleas require additional cleaning protocols. Our team must thoroughly disinfect exam rooms, which can take 15–20 minutes between patients and may lead to longer wait times.

Let’s work together to keep your pets healthy, happy, and itch-free this spring! 🌼

📅 If your pet is due (or overdue) for an exam, vaccines, or prevention refills, now is the time to schedule.

Give us a call or book online—we’re here to help you and your pet enjoy a safe and healthy spring season! 🐕🐈💚

Ahhh😊the harmony of spooning TFT’s. While a very sweet way to spend an afternoon, this vibe, DID NOT happen by accident!

Faith, in front with the black ears, is 4 mos old and has been a part of our pack for a little over 6wks.

This kind of peaceful coexistence is due to a lot of structured: Rules, Boundaries, Limitations, Socialization and Training.

It’s a big commitment that requires a lot of time, diligence and attention— all of which can test the limits of my patience.

This ongoing journey is well worth the effort, however, to help create a happy, healthy, and confident dog! Stay tuned😉
