Tips to select a quality pet food.

We wanted to share information from a recent email from Uintah Pet Emergency.

There has been a noticeable uptick in mushroom toxicity cases in dogs. With the recent wet weather, toxic mushrooms are proliferating in pet owners' yards, parks, and trails.

Although 99% of mushrooms are harmless, that 1% can prove to be quite deadly if left untreated. Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to tell the safe ones from the toxic ones without expert knowledge. While some mushrooms just irritate the GI system, others affect the central nervous system, and some will break down vital organs such as the kidneys or liver.

Rapid identification and treatment are critical, and we encourage pet owners to seek immediate care if mushroom ingestion is suspected. If they suspect their pet may have eaten a mushroom, we recommend taking a photo of a similar mushroom nearby, especially one that shows the gills (the underside), to assist with species identification.

Also with the current rain there has been several w**ds growing that are not normally seen in the amounts that we are seeing. These w**ds can be toxic to your pets.

Milk W**d is growing at an alarming rate with the rain and can cause mild to severe symptoms in your pets from vomiting and diarrhea to seizures, dialated pupils, and respiratory paralysis.

Euphorbia Denata ( Green poinsettia) is growing rapidly as well. This w**d can cause vomiting and diarrhea, mouth irritation, drooling, lethargy, abdominal pain, skin irrritation and can lead to more serious symptoms like tremors, seizures or blindness if the sap gets in the eyes.

We recommend that you regularly inspect your yards and promptly remove any mushrooms and w**ds that you find. Additionally, keep your dogs leashed and stay vigilant during walks and hikes, particularly in shaded or wooded areas.

If you suspect that your pet has injested a toxic plant or mushroom. Please call us for direction or go to an animal emeregency hospital. You can also call ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 1-888-426-4435.

Lizzy’s story isn’t an easy one to tell, but it’s an important one, and it begins and ends with love.

Lizzy was once a deeply cherished companion. She belonged to someone who adored her, who gave her a home, and who shared quiet days and sweet routines. But as time passed, something heartbreaking began to unfold. Her person started to fade in ways that were hard to name at first. Dementia is like that; it doesn’t steal all at once. It drifts in quietly, reshaping memories, rearranging the familiar, and slowly pulling people away from the things they once loved.

For Lizzy, this meant the man who had loved her deeply no longer recognized her. He hadn’t stopped caring. He had simply become lost in an illness that so often takes more than anyone can imagine.

When a family member stopped by to check in, they discovered Lizzy needed help. She was extremely thin, and her body bore injuries from being confined in a kennel for too long. She had been trying, in her quiet way, to hold on. The moment she was found, the people who loved both her and her person stepped in and made a deeply compassionate choice. They brought her to us.

When she arrived, Lizzy needed a great deal of care. She was emaciated and weak. She had wounds on her back legs and a mass on her mammary gland. Our veterinary team surrounded her with gentleness, feeding her slowly, treating her injuries, giving her time. And Lizzy, despite everything, met it all with trust. She allowed every exam. She leaned into every gentle hand. And slowly, she began to heal.

Today, Lizzy is strong again. Her wounds are nearly healed. Her mass was removed and came back benign. She’s gained weight, and more than that, she’s regained her spark.

She is a quiet, affectionate soul, the kind of dog who doesn’t demand attention but gives love freely. Lizzy is ready now, ready for a new chapter. One where she can be someone’s everything again. A peaceful home with adults who will adore her would be the perfect place to begin.

We share Lizzy’s story not just to help her find that home but also to remind everyone: check on the people you love, especially those who may be growing quieter, especially those with pets. Sometimes, the signs of struggle are subtle. But your presence, your call, your visit, your offer to help can mean the world.

And if you ever find yourself in a place where caring for a pet feels overwhelming, please know this: there is no shame in reaching out. You are not alone. We are here for you, for your loved ones, and for the animals who love us unconditionally.
