Theo is in need of a Christmas Miracle. He’s the sweetest boy ever and his floppy ears add to his quirky personality. He’s a very good boy and is crate and leash trained. He is just turning a year old. SDVUC is stepping up to help find this adorable boy a home. He’s microchipped up to date on vaccinations and is already neutered. Contact Heer To Rescue, Inc. to fill out his adoption application and get this boy home. Did I mention he plays fetch and sits on command?

While we all give thanks to all the amazing father's in our lives today, let's also stop to recognize all the veterinary staff on Veterinary Appreciation Day. In 2015, Trupanion created Veterinary Appreciation Day to celebrate the critical role that veterinary professionals play in our lives. From the front desk to technicians to veterinarians, veterinary professionals dedicate countless hours providing compassionate care for our pets, even throughout the most challenging of times. With that, we would like to stop and thank all of our staff for all the hard work and dedication they provide for us. We are so grateful for you!

It's that time of year when pesky foxtails come out and become a huge danger for our four legged friends. Foxtails love paws & can easily become embedded between toes. Foxtails can easily dig into any part of the body. Embedded foxtails can cause abscesses, pain and death. If inhaled they can puncture a lung. They can go up the nose and migrate to the brain. If your pet is suffering from foxtails getting embedded in any part of their body, DO NOT WAIT. Call us right away at 760-743-0973 so we can help safely remove them for you. Our prices are half that of an emergency clinic or urgent care!

On Memorial Day, we remember those soldiers that gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country, and for us, the people of the United States. Only 0.4% of the U.S. population currently serves in the military. Looking back at everyone who has ever served, the number jumps up to 7.3%, but still a very low number given the great sacrifices the men and women of the military make for all of us. Maybe that is why, on Memorial Day — a day to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for their country — the country celebrates with sales and shopping.

Putting that aside, there is also the less obvious soldier, one who also risks and gives their life for our freedom. A soldier that can’t speak for themselves. A brave soldier who too, is remembered this Memorial Day: the war dog.

Canine soldier memorial, featuring upside-down food bowls and harness
Dogs have served in the military in every major conflict dating back to “Sergeant Stubby” of the 102nd Infantry who went from mascot to hero during WWI after being smuggled into battle by Private Conway. Stubby detected enemy gas, barked out warnings when enemy troops were near and located wounded soldiers on the battlefield.

Since then the role of the military dog has advanced and become much more sophisticated, planned, and trained for.

This Memorial Day, let’s remember these great dogs and their handlers who lost their lives, so that our dogs and their handlers (that would be us) may roam free in this great country.
