🎃👻 Happy Halloween from all of us at HomeTown Veterinary Partners! 🎃👻

We hope all our wonderful clients and their furry family members have a spooktacular Halloween filled with fun, treats, and plenty of tail wags!

As you celebrate, here are a few tricks to keep your pets safe:

🍬 Keep Halloween candy, especially chocolate and sugar-free treats containing xylitol, out of reach.

🎃 Keep curious paws away from candles, decorations, and anything that could be chewed or swallowed.

🚪 Beware of the Great Halloween Escape! Keep a close eye on doors when trick-or-treaters arrive.

🐾 Make sure costumes are comfortable and allow your pets to see, breathe, and move freely.

🏡 Give your pets a quiet, cozy place to relax if the spooky sounds and extra visitors become overwhelming.

From our veterinary family to yours, we wish you a safe, happy, and fang-tastic Halloween!🎃

🎃🍂 Pumpkins, Paint & A Little Team Bonding! 🍂🎨

Who says all the fun has to happen during clinic hours? Our team recently got together after hours for a little fall fun, trading in our scrubs and stethoscopes for paintbrushes, pumpkins, and a whole lot of creativity! 😂

We spent the evening painting pumpkins, sharing laughs, joking around, showing off our artistic sides, and of course, admiring everyone's masterpieces. Some of us may have discovered a hidden artistic talent, while others might be better off sticking to veterinary medicine!

Between the busy days, wagging tails, ringing phones, and everything that comes with working in a veterinary clinic, it's always nice to slow down, spend time together, and enjoy each other's company outside of work.

It's these little moments that bring us closer as a team and remind us how lucky we are to work alongside such a fun, caring, and wonderful group of people.

A little paint, a few pumpkins, lots of laughter, and memories made! Our annual pumpkin painting tradition is one we always look forward to! 🎃

🎃🐾 TIP TUESDAY: Beware of the Great Halloween Escape! 🚪👻

Halloween is full of spooky decorations, doorbells ringing, and little trick-or-treaters coming and going! While all the excitement can be fun for us, it can be overwhelming for our four-legged family members. 🐶🧡

Did you know that even a normally well-behaved dog may try to bolt through an open door if they're startled by a loud noise, unfamiliar costumes, or a sudden burst of excitement? One quick dash is all it takes for a pup to find themselves somewhere they shouldn't be!

🐾 Here are a few tips to help keep your furry friends safe this Halloween:

🚪 Create a Safe Space: Set up a cozy, quiet room away from the front door where your pup can relax while trick-or-treaters visit. Add their favorite bed, toys, and some fresh water!

🔒 Keep Doors Secure: Make sure everyone in the household knows to watch for your pets when opening the door. A baby gate or closed interior door can provide an extra layer of protection.

🏷️ Check Those ID Tags: Make sure your dog's collar and identification tags have your current contact information. If your pet has a microchip, double-check that your information is up to date, too!

🦴 Keep Them Comfortable: If your dog gets nervous around strangers, loud noises, or people in costumes, let them enjoy Halloween from a quiet spot instead of greeting every visitor. Not every pup wants to join the party!

👀 Supervise Outdoor Time: If your dog needs a potty break during trick-or-treating hours, take them outside on a leash, even if you have a fenced yard. Unexpected noises or activity can startle even the most confident dogs.

🧡 Remember: The best Halloween treat is knowing your furry family members are safe at home! A little preparation can help prevent a frightening escape and keep the evening fun for everyone.

🎃 From all of us at HomeTown Veterinary Partners, we wish you and your furry friends a safe and happy Howl-o-ween! 🐾👻

🎃🐾 MYTH MONDAY: One Piece of Halloween Candy Can't Hurt My Dog! 🍬👻

👻 MYTH: Halloween candy is fine as long as my dog only eats one piece!

🐾 FACT: Even one piece of candy can be dangerous for your furry friend, depending on the ingredients, the amount eaten, and your dog's size!

🍫 Chocolate contains substances that are toxic to dogs, and darker chocolate is generally more dangerous than milk chocolate.

🍬 Sugar-free candy and gum may contain xylitol, a sweetener that can cause a dangerous drop in blood sugar and potentially serious liver damage in dogs.

🍇 Some other sweet treats may contain raisins or other ingredients that are unsafe for pets. Even candy that isn't toxic can cause an upset stomach, and swallowed wrappers can create a choking hazard or intestinal blockage.

🐶 So, what should you do?

Keep Halloween candy bowls, treat bags, and trick-or-treat buckets out of your pup's reach.

Remind children not to share their Halloween goodies with their four-legged friends.

Offer your dog a pet-safe treat so they can join in on the Halloween fun, too! 🦴

If your dog gets into the candy stash, check the ingredients and contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary hospital promptly if they may have eaten something harmful. Don't wait for symptoms to appear!

🧡 Remember: When it comes to Halloween candy, even a little can be a big problem! Keep the treats for the trick-or-treaters and give your pups something made just for them. 🐕🎃

Have a safe and happy Halloween from all of us at HomeTown Veterinary Partners! 🐾🧡

10/26/2026

Ask the Vet: Trick-or-treaters at the door — how do I keep my pet from bolting? Set them up in a quiet back room with the TV or music on, a favorite toy, and a long-lasting chew or puzzle feeder. Double-check ID tag and microchip info NOW, just in case.

💚 Wrapping Up Veterinary Technician Week by Celebrating Our Amazing Tech Team! 💚

As Veterinary Technician Week comes to a close, we want to take a moment to celebrate the amazing people who give so much of themselves to care for our patients and support our team! This week has been all about recognizing the compassion, dedication, hard work, and heart our veterinary technicians bring to the hospital every single day. And honestly, one week hardly seems like enough!

To our incredible tech team, thank you for everything you do, day in and day out! From comforting nervous pets and holding paws, to drawing blood, taking x-rays, monitoring anesthesia, assisting with procedures, calculating medications, cleaning up messes, and somehow managing to do five things at once — you truly do it all! 🩺🐶🐱

You’re the calm in the chaos, the extra set of hands when we need them most, the ones who celebrate the little victories, and the ones who make even the toughest days a little easier. You know how to turn a scary vet visit into a little less scary one, give nervous pets some extra love, and make our patients feel safe, even when they’d much rather be anywhere else!

And let’s be honest… veterinary medicine takes a special kind of person! Someone who can go from cuddling a puppy to cleaning up a mess, answering a million questions, helping a doctor, and still finding time to give a patient some extra kisses. All while keeping a smile on their face (and probably running on coffee! ☕😂).

But beyond all the medical skills, hard work, and multitasking, it’s the HEART you bring to this job that makes you so special. It’s the patience you show a frightened patient, the gentle touch you give an anxious pet, the extra time you spend making sure an animal is comfortable, and the compassion you show families who trust us with their beloved pets. Those moments may seem small, but they make a world of difference.

You’re there for the happy moments, like watching a sick pet feel better, seeing a nervous puppy gain confidence, or celebrating a patient getting to go home. You’re also there for the difficult moments, offering comfort, kindness, and support when it matters most. The care you provide goes far beyond medical skills — it’s about making every patient feel loved and every family feel cared for.

And of course, we can’t forget the teamwork! The shared laughs during a hectic day, the helping hands when things get overwhelming, the inside jokes that keep us going, and the ability to work together even when the schedule is packed and everyone needs something at once. It takes an incredible team to keep a veterinary hospital running, and our technicians are such a huge part of what makes ours special.

To our amazing veterinary technicians, thank you for being the heart, hands, and sometimes the superhero capes of our hospital! You work hard, think on your feet, handle the unexpected, and give so much of yourselves to the animals in your care. Even on the busiest days, you continue to show up with compassion, dedication, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to help our patients.

We know this job isn't always easy. It can be physically exhausting, emotionally challenging, messy, unpredictable, and sometimes downright chaotic! But the love you have for what you do shines through in the care you give and the difference you make. The long days, the extra effort, the patience, and all the little things you do behind the scenes never go unnoticed.

As we wrap up this special week, we want you to know that your hard work and dedication deserve to be celebrated far beyond just a few days on the calendar. From the first appointment of the morning to the last patient of the day, you give so much of yourselves to make sure our patients receive the care they deserve. Whether you're lending a helping hand to a coworker, comforting a worried pet parent, or going that extra mile for a patient who needs a little more attention, the difference you make matters more than you know. 💚🐾

We hope this week has brought you a little extra appreciation, plenty of laughs, delicious snacks, lots of puppy kisses, kitten cuddles, and a few moments to catch your breath! You deserve to feel celebrated for all the incredible things you do, both the big accomplishments and the countless little things that often happen behind the scenes.

We are so lucky to have such an incredible team, and we hope you know how valued and appreciated you are — not just during Veterinary Technician Week, but every single day of the year. You make a difference in the lives of our patients, our clients, and your coworkers in more ways than you probably realize. Veterinary medicine wouldn't be the same without you!

Happy Veterinary Technician Week to our wonderful tech team! 💚 Thank you for all the love, hard work, patience, laughter, and heart you bring to our hospital. Here's to celebrating you today and appreciating you all year long, because one week simply isn't enough to recognize everything you do! We're so thankful to have you on our team and so proud of the care you give to every patient who walks through our doors. 🐾💚

Meet Marlena Dashner, LVT! 💛

Marlena has been a licensed veterinary technician since 2019, and she’s been with HVP Champlin since the day we opened our doors in March 2024.

What most pet owners don’t realize? Marlena will do “absolutely anything” to keep your dog or cat comfortable. That might mean sitting with them in her lap, carrying them around, offering an assortment of treats, or even breaking out a silly dance if that’s what helps. 🐾

Her favorite tasks are placing IV catheters and drawing blood, and she’s happiest when she’s helping a nervous patient relax.

At home, she has a dog named Wallace.

Thank you, Marlena, for everything you do!

Your pet’s vet tech might be the hardest-working person you’ve never fully noticed. 🩺

On any given day, a veterinary technician might:
🧪 Collect blood samples and run lab work
💉 Place IV catheters and give treatments
😴 Monitor your pet’s heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure under anesthesia
📸 Take X-rays, including dental X-rays
🦷 Clean teeth during dental procedures
🐾 Comfort nervous patients (and their people)
📞 Walk you through care instructions when you head home

Credentialed veterinary technicians complete an accredited degree program and pass a national exam before they ever earn their title. Our hospitals couldn’t run without them. 💛

Halloween Costume Check for Pets 🎃

Before you dress them up, watch for:
✔ Freezing in place or tucked tail = "no thanks"
✔ Pinned ears, whale eye, lip licking = stress signals
✔ Small parts they could chew off and swallow
✔ Anything covering their eyes, ears, or restricting movement

A festive bandana or bowtie is always a great low-stress alternative. Comfort over cute.

Meet Kelby Howell, LVT, a licensed veterinary technician at Silver Lake with 20 years in the field! 💛

“Most owners probably don’t realize how much I think about their pets,” Kelby says. Before a visit, he reads up on how past appointments have gone. During the visit, he watches each pet’s body language and adjusts his approach. Afterward, he thinks about what worked and what to try next time.

That care pays off. One of his favorite patients, Riley, used to be a ball of stress at the vet. After years of gentle, intentional handling, he’s now happy to walk through the door. 🐾

His best tip for pet owners: “Take your pet’s emotions seriously.” Keeping visits calm and positive makes a big difference, whether that means anti-anxiety medication or simply keeping your pet with you as much as possible.

His favorite task? Drawing blood while a dog happily munches on a snack. His least favorite? Microchipping wiggly young patients. (It’s a big needle!)

Thank you, Kelby, for everything you do!

🔦TIP TUESDAY: BE SEEN AFTER SUNSET! 🌙

The days are getting shorter, the evenings are getting darker, and our daily walks might start happening after the sun goes down! While those evening strolls are a great way to keep our pets active, it's important to make sure both you and your furry friends stay visible and safe.

Did you know that reduced visibility can make it harder for drivers, cyclists, and other pedestrians to see you and your pet? A few simple changes to your walking routine can make a big difference!

✨ HERE ARE A FEW TIPS TO KEEP YOUR WALKS SAFER:

🔦 LIGHT UP YOUR WALK!
Consider using a light-up collar, LED leash, or clip-on safety light to help your dog stand out in the dark. Reflective gear is also a great option because it helps reflect light from passing vehicles.

🦺 CHOOSE BRIGHT OR REFLECTIVE GEAR.
Reflective harnesses, collars, leashes, and even reflective clothing for pet parents can help improve visibility. Dark-colored pets can be especially difficult to see at night, so extra visibility is always a good idea!

🐕 KEEP YOUR PET CLOSE.
Use a secure leash and keep your dog close to you when walking near roads, driveways, or parking lots. Avoid retractable leashes in busy or poorly lit areas, where it may be harder to react quickly to unexpected situations.

🚶 STICK TO WELL-LIT ROUTES.
Whenever possible, choose sidewalks, walking paths, and familiar routes with good lighting. Avoid walking along busy roads without sidewalks, and always be cautious when crossing streets.

👀 STAY ALERT TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS.
Put your phone away, keep your eyes up, and pay attention to approaching vehicles, cyclists, wildlife, and other potential hazards. If you're wearing headphones, keep the volume low enough to hear what's happening around you.

🏷️ DOUBLE-CHECK THAT ID TAG!
Even the most well-behaved pets can get startled by a loud noise or unexpected distraction. Make sure your pet's collar has current identification, and check that their microchip information is up to date in case they ever get loose.

🐾 DON'T FORGET THE PAWS!
Cooler evenings can mean wet sidewalks, fallen branches, and other debris along your route. Check your pet's paws after walks, especially if they've been exploring grassy areas or leaf-covered paths.

❤️ A LITTLE PREPARATION GOES A LONG WAY!
You don't have to skip your evening walks just because the sun sets earlier. With the right gear, a little extra awareness, and a safe route, you and your four-legged walking buddy can continue enjoying your time outdoors!

Stay safe, stay visible, and keep those tails wagging! 🩷

🍂 MYTH MONDAY: Fleas and Ticks Disappear When the Weather Gets Cold! ❄️

The temperatures are dropping, the cozy sweaters are coming out, and we're officially entering sweater weather! But does colder weather mean our pets are safe from fleas and ticks? Unfortunately, NOPE!

Let's bust this common pet health myth!

🐾 THE MYTH: Once fall and winter arrive, fleas and ticks die off, so our pets no longer need parasite prevention.

🐾 THE FACT: Fleas and ticks can remain a problem throughout the colder months! While cold weather can reduce the activity of some parasites, it doesn't eliminate the risk. Depending on the species, environment, and temperature, fleas and ticks can survive and remain active even when we're bundling up for the cold.

🦟 WHY ARE FLEAS STILL A PROBLEM?

Fleas love warm, protected environments, which means your cozy home can be the perfect place for them to thrive! Adult fleas can live on your pet, while flea eggs and immature stages may develop in carpets, furniture, pet bedding, and other areas of your home.

Even if your pet spends most of their time indoors, fleas can still find their way inside. And once an infestation gets established, getting rid of every life stage can take time and consistent treatment.

🌳 WHAT ABOUT TICKS?

Ticks don't all behave the same way! Some species become less active in cold weather, while others can still be active during milder winter days when temperatures rise above freezing. Ticks may also survive in sheltered areas, such as leaf litter and brush.

That means a quick potty break in the backyard, a neighborhood walk, or an outdoor adventure can still come with a risk of encountering these unwanted hitchhikers!

🩺 WHY IS YEAR-ROUND PREVENTION IMPORTANT?

✨ Prevention is easier than treating an infestation. Fleas can multiply quickly, and eliminating an established infestation may require treating your pet and their environment.

✨ Fleas can cause more than itching. Some pets develop flea allergy dermatitis, which can cause intense itching, skin irritation, hair loss, and sores. Fleas can also transmit tapeworms when an infected flea is swallowed.

✨ Ticks can transmit diseases. Depending on the tick species and location, ticks may spread illnesses such as Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis.

✨ Indoor pets aren't completely protected. Fleas can enter your home, and pets can encounter ticks during outdoor bathroom breaks or walks.

✨ Every pet has different risks. Your pet's lifestyle, health, location, and the type of prevention they use all matter when deciding on the best protection plan.

🐾 HOW CAN YOU HELP PROTECT YOUR PET?

🦴 Keep your pet on a veterinarian-recommended flea and tick prevention plan throughout the year, unless your veterinarian advises otherwise.

🔎 Check your pet for ticks after outdoor activities, paying attention to areas around the ears, under the collar, between the toes, under the legs, and around the tail.

🧺 Wash pet bedding regularly and vacuum areas where your pets spend time to help reduce flea eggs and immature flea stages in the environment.

🌿 Keep your yard maintained by removing excess leaf litter and limiting overgrown brush where ticks may hide.

🚫 Never use a flea or tick product on your pet without checking that it's appropriate for their species, age, and weight. Some products intended for dogs can be dangerous to cats! Always follow the product label and your veterinarian's instructions.

❤️ THE BOTTOM LINE: Just because we're putting away our summer clothes doesn't mean fleas and ticks are putting themselves away for the season! Consistent, veterinarian-recommended prevention is an important part of keeping our furry family members protected all year long.

📞 Have questions about which flea and tick prevention is right for your pet? Give our team a call! We're always happy to help you find the best plan for your furry family member.
