Vaccinating animals against rabies protects them and creates a “buffer zone” between humans and rabid animals.

Under Oregon law, all dogs are required to be vaccinated against rabies. Veterinarians strongly recommend vaccination for cats, ferrets and horses.

Multnomah County requires cats to be vaccinated against rabies. Nationally, twice as many cats as dogs are reported to have rabies each year, so it's important to vaccinate them. Cats come into contact with bats far more often than other pets and, if not vaccinated, may have to be quarantined for an extended time or euthanized after such contact.

Do not pick up or touch bats. If you encounter a bat during the day, it is likely unhealthy and should be avoided. Anyone bitten by a bat should be proactively vaccinated against rabies if the bat is not available for testing.

Keep Animals and Humans Safe
◗ Vaccinate dogs, cats, ferrets and horses.
◗ Watch wildlife from a distance. Don't feed, approach or handle wild animals.
◗ Feed pets indoors. Keep garbage in secure containers and away from wildlife.
◗ Seal openings in buildings and place screens in chimneys to block access to bats and other wildlife.

Let’s talk about nails… 🐾
Keeping your pets nails trimmed isn’t just about looks — it’s essential for their health, comfort, and safety.

Here’s why regular nail trims matter:
✅ Prevents pain & joint issues – Overgrown nails can cause discomfort, change your pet’s posture, and lead to long-term joint problems.
✅ Protects your floors (and your skin!) – Long nails can scratch surfaces, snag on things, or accidentally hurt you during play.
✅ Reduces the risk of broken nails – Nails that get too long are more likely to split or break, which can be painful and prone to infection.
✅ Helps them feel more comfortable – Especially for senior pets or those with arthritis, short nails mean easier, safer movement.

Most pets should have their nails trimmed every 3-4 weeks but some may need it more often or less often.

🐾 Shed Happens… But that’s what I’m here for! 🐾
When you bring in your pup for a de-shed service I use the Close-Open-Close method and it is a game-changer for shedding pups!

Here’s how it works (and why it’s so effective):
🛁 Step 1: CLOSE – I start with conditioner which “Closes” the hair cuticle, and not only protects it during the cleansing step but also loosens up the undercoat.
🛁 Step 2: OPEN – Next, I use a deshedding shampoo and clarifying shampoo to remove dirt, oil, and buildup, that opens the coat and helps release even more of the loose undercoat.
🛁 Step 3: CLOSE – I finish with a final conditioning rinse to seal the hair shaft retaining hydration, and leaving the coat soft, shiny, and smelling incredible.

✨ It’s a lot of steps but the result is so worth it! Less hair on your floors, furniture, and clothes — and a pup that looks and feels amazing!

It’s arthritis awareness month. Animals suffer from this too!

It's Arthritis Awareness Month. Just like humans, pets can develop arthritis, too. Arthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease that causes pain, stiffness, and mobility challenges. Older pets are more likely to develop arthritis due to the effects of aging. Excess weight puts additional stress on joints, increasing the risk of arthritis. If your pet has achy joints and shows reduced mobility, ask your veterinarian about pain management options.
