🐱⚾ HAPPY NATIONAL CAT DAY & GO BREWERS! 💙💛🐾
*No cats were harmed in the making this post! (Only a slight hit to his ego 😹)*

Remember our Brewers-loving duo, Paighton and her feline sidekick, Squid, from Friday's post? Well, we have a little follow-up for you… and it's PURR-fect timing! 😂

With the Brewers winning the World Series AND today being National Cat Day, we figured there was no better time to bring these two back for an encore! 🏆🐈

Apparently, the excitement has this little guy hanging on for dear life… or maybe he's just hanging out. 🤷‍♀️🤣

Either way, Paighton is clearly having the time of her life, and our furry friend seems perfectly content being the world's longest Brewers fan. 💙💛

Here's to championship celebrations, adorable cats, and veterinary staff who will take absolutely ANY opportunity to smooch a patient! 🥰

Happy National Cat Day from all of us at Lakeview Animal Clinic! 🐾

🥒🎃 **PICKLES & PUMPKIN HAVE ENTERED THE CHAT!** 🐱🐱🧡

WARNING: The following photos contain dangerously high levels of cuteness. Viewer discretion is advised. 🚨🥹

Meet **Pickles and Pumpkin,** two ridiculously adorable little orange boys who stopped by Lakeview and immediately became the center of attention! 🧡

As you can see, Dr. Augustin took her job VERY seriously... 😂😘
We're adding "professional kitten snuggler" to her job description, because she's absolutely excelling at it!🏆🐾

Between those tiny toe beans, fluffy little faces, and approximately TWO collective brain cells (they are orange cats, after all 🧡), we're officially obsessed!

**Important question: How is anyone supposed to get work done with these two around?!** 😭❤️

🐾🎉 VET TECH WEEK KICKOFF: ESCAPE ROOM EDITION! 🔐🧩

What happens when you put a bunch of veterinary professionals in a room, lock the door, and tell them they have to work together to escape? 🤔

THEY ESCAPE… AND MAKE THE LEADERBOARD! 🏆🎉

To kick off Veterinary Technician Week, our Lakeview crew traded in their stethoscopes, scrubs, and furry patients for puzzles, clues, and a little friendly chaos! 😂

Turns out, a team that’s used to solving mysteries, thinking on their feet, and working together under pressure is pretty darn good at escape rooms, too! 💪🐾

We had an absolute blast spending time together outside the clinic, laughing, problem-solving, and celebrating the incredible team that makes Lakeview so special. 💜

This week is all about recognizing the hardworking, compassionate, talented veterinary technicians who give so much of themselves to their patients every single day. We couldn’t do what we do without them! 🩺❤️

And if you ever need someone to solve a mystery, save the day, or escape a locked room… apparently, you know who to call. 😎🔓

Happy Veterinary Technician Week! 🐾💜

🐾💉 A Little Vaccine Can Prevent a BIG Problem! 💉🐾

⚠️ Leptospirosis cases are on the rise, and we want pet owners to be aware!

Leptospirosis (Lepto) is a potentially life-threatening bacterial infection that affects dogs and other animals. What makes it especially concerning? It’s ZOONOTIC, meaning it can spread from animals to humans! 🦠

🐕 How do dogs get Lepto?
Dogs can become infected through contact with water, soil, or surfaces contaminated with urine from infected wildlife or other animals.

💦 Puddles, standing water, and muddy areas can all be potential sources of exposure!

🏡 Think your dog isn’t at risk because they don’t go hiking or swimming? Think again!

Even dogs that spend most of their time in their own backyard can be exposed. Wildlife such as raccoons, rodents, and other animals can carry the bacteria into residential areas.

🚨 Why is Lepto so dangerous?
Leptospirosis can cause:
🐾 Acute kidney injury or kidney failure
🐾 Liver damage or liver failure
🐾 Fever, vomiting, and lethargy
🐾 Severe illness that can sometimes be fatal

❤️ The good news? Leptospirosis is vaccine-preventable!

The Lepto vaccine is recommended for ALL dogs, regardless of breed, size, lifestyle, or where they live. Vaccination significantly reduces the risk of serious illness and helps protect our canine companions.

📸 Pictured here: Our amazing veterinary technicians doing their part to protect another patient against Leptospirosis! 💉🐶

💗 Protect your dog. Protect your family. Vaccinate against Lepto!

Not sure if your dog is up to date on their Lepto vaccine? Give us a call! Our team at Lakeview Animal Clinic would be happy to help!

Check out the newest additions to the Lakeview Crew! 🥰

At Lakeview, we’re all about making vet visits as low-stress as possible (and sometimes the secret weapon is simply really good snacks!)🐱❤️

For our feline friends, a tasty distraction can help turn a potentially scary poke into a “wait… did something happen?” moment.

✔️ Churu engaged
✔️ Vaccine given
✔️ Dignity intact
✔️ Snack consumption uninterrupted

Fear Free care isn’t about forcing pets to “just deal with it.” It’s about working with them, finding what makes them comfortable, and using a little creativity (and bribery 😉) to create a better veterinary experience.

Because if we can give a vaccine while you’re blissfully demolishing a tube of Churu… why wouldn’t we? 😂

When Sam is doing your nail trim and those nail clippings start FLYING… we’re taking no chances 🫡😂

Does a paper towel eye shield look a little ridiculous? Yes
Are those eyeballs protected? ALSO YES 👀✅

Around here, even nail trims come with PPE 😂🐾

SAFETY FIRST, DIGNITY SECOND 💅

October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month! 🐾

There are so many incredible dogs in shelters waiting for one very important thing: a family to call their own! 💜

If you’ve been thinking about adding a four-legged family member, this month is the perfect time to visit one of our amazing local shelters and see who might just be looking for you 🐶🏡

Lakeview is proud to partner with local shelters, including Elmbrook Humane Society, to help newly adopted pets start their next chapter off on the right paw. Pets adopted through our participating shelter partners are eligible for a FREE shelter adoption exam at Lakeview within 30 days of adoption! 🩺🐾

And if your home is already full (or now just isn’t the right time to adopt) you can still make a HUGE difference! Consider donating food, supplies, toys, funds, or even your time to a local shelter. Every little bit helps provide food, medical care, enrichment, comfort, and love to pets while they wait for their forever homes 💕

🏡 Adopt if you can. Donate if you can’t. Share to help them be seen.

Because every shelter dog deserves their chance at happily ever after 🐕❤️
