As dog lovers, we all want well-behaved and obedient companions. National Train Your Dog Month, celebrated each January, serves as a helpful reminder to invest time and effort into training our furry friends. Whether you have a brand new puppy or an older dog in need of some polishing, this is the perfect opportunity to introduce good habits and reinforce desirable behaviors.

Here are some valuable tips to make this training journey a resounding success:

1. Start with Basic Commands: Begin with essential commands like sit, stay, come, and down. These commands create a solid foundation for more advanced training in the future.

2. Use Positive Reinforcement: Dogs respond best to positive reinforcement. Reward your dog with treats, praise, or playtime whenever they exhibit correct behavior. This encourages them to repeat the desired actions and strengthens the bond between you and your furry companion.

3. Consistency is Key: Dogs thrive on routine and consistency. Ensure that all family members are on the same page when it comes to training techniques and commands. Consistency helps prevent confusion and encourages your dog to understand the rules.

4. Patience and Persistence: Dog training is a process that takes time and patience. Some dogs may grasp commands quickly, while others may require more repetition and practice. Remain patient and persistent, celebrating small victories along the way.

5. Socialize, Socialize, Socialize: Expose your dog to various environments, people, and other animals from an early age. Socialization aids in preventing fear, anxiety, and aggression.

6. Seek Professional Help when Needed: If you encounter challenges during the training process, don’t hesitate to seek guidance from professional dog trainers. They have the expertise to identify and address specific behavior issues, helping you and your dog overcome obstacles.

Happy new year to all our amazing clients. We hope that the start of the new year has brought joy and positivity to everyone! Here at WCAH, we are delighted to share some exciting news regarding recent changes taking place within our establishment. These changes include improvements to our services and a significant development in veterinary care that will directly benefit our clients and their beloved pets!

Introducing the New Law Empowering Registered Veterinary Technicians:
Starting this year, there is a new California law that allows RVTs to act as an agent of a veterinarian while the vet establishes a Veterinarian-Client-Patient-Relationship (VCRP). This is great news for our clients as it enhances our ability to provide comprehensive care and support to your pets. With this new law in place, our RVTs will have increased autonomy, allowing them to perform certain tasks under the supervision of our veterinarians. This means that our RVTs will be able to provide more immediate care to your pets like annual exams, dispense parasite prevention, and immunizations. We are still finalizing the details, but we are excited to move forward with this new development. Stay tuned for any updates regarding new appointments available!

Improved Exam Protocols
We believe that transparency and open communication is the foundation of a strong bond between veterinary professionals, pet owners, and their furry companions. This is why we are delighted to announce our new exam protocols, which involves transitioning to performing treatments in the exam room with the owners. With doing so, we are able to provide a more personalized and inclusive experience for our clients by allowing more room for involvement and education, while reducing stress for the pet. We are confident that this change will strengthen our relationship and ensure that every pet receives the highest level of care.

Librela:
Librela was introduced in Fall of 2023 and the pets are loving it! Librela is a groundbreaking monoclonal antibody that effectively intercepts pain signals, preventing their transmission to the spinal cord. This remarkable product, administered through a monthly injection, is expertly formulated to alleviate discomfort and enhance the overall well-being of our beloved pets. Its innovative approach represents a significant advancement in pain management for our furry companions. Say bye to aches and pains! Please contact us for more information!

Other news:
Both Dr. Gibbings and Dr. Benitez will be on maternity leave for a few months. We are wishing them and their family the best! In the meanwhile, the other doctors will be available to for any questions or concerns during their absence ❤️
