🏥🐾What does it mean to be AAHA Accredited?🐾🏥

At Walnut Creek Veterinary Hospital, we're proud to be an AAHA-accredited hospital - but what exactly does that mean for you and your pet?

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) is the only organization that accredits companion animal veterinary hospitals in the United States and Canada. To earn accreditation, a hospital must meet hundreds of standards covering everything from patient care and safety to cleanliness, medical records, anesthesia, pain management, and continuing education.

What does that mean for your pet?

✅High Standards of medical care
✅Advanced patient safety protocols
✅Comprehensive pain management
✅Ongoing staff training and education
✅Regular evaluations to ensure standards are maintained

AAHA accreditation reflects out commitment to providing the same level of care we would want for our own pets. It's one more way we work to ensure every patient receives safe, compassionate, and high-quality veterinary care.

Thank you for trusting us with your furry family members. ❤🐱🐶

🐾Don't Kitten-Nap!🐾

Spring and Summer bring warmer weather...and kitten season!🌸🐱

If you find a liter of kittens outside, your first instinct may be to rescue them. But before you scoop them up, take a moment to assess the situation. In many cases, the kittens are not orphaned at all - mom is simply out hunting or finding food and will return when it's safe.

Why is staying with mom so important?

🍼Mom's milk is the best nutrition. While kitten milk replacer can be lifesaving when needed, is cannot provide the antibodies kittens receive from their mother's milk to help protect them from illness.

🐱Mom teaches important life skills. Kittens learn social behaviors, communication, grooming, and appropriate play from their mother and littermates.

🏥Shelters aren't always the safest option for healthy outdoor kittens. Because so many animals pass through shelters, there can be higher risk of exposure to contagious diseases, especially for very young kittens with developing immune systems.

💔Separating kitten can be stressful for mom. A mother cat may spend hours searching for her missing babies.

If you discover a nest of kittens:
✅Observe from a distance
✅Keep children and pets away
✅Avoid handling or hovering over the kittens
✅Give mom time to return

A mother cat who feels threatened or watched too closely may become afraid to approach her kittens.

If you're unsure whether kittens have truly been abandoned, give us a call. We're happy to help you determine the beast course of action for both mom and babies. ❤🐾

🐾Meet the Team: Janet, Client Service Representative🐾

Janet arrived in Azle Texas in 2006 when she accepted a position as a Computer Systems Manager at a large, local company. At the end of her lengthy career as a technology professional and educator, she pivoted to follow her heart and love for animals by entering the pet care industry. She studied to become a Certified Pet Stylist and launched a mobile pet spa to offer convenient and personalized pet grooming services.

While her business was growing, she joined Walnut Creek Vet Hospital in 2017 as a part-time kennel technician. Then, COVID hit and her grooming business basically came to a halt. She focused her customer service experience at the clinic as a full time CSR. This summer, Janet will celebrate 9 years with Walnut Creek Vet Hospital and her favorite part of the day is engaging with the clients and their pets. Over those years, she has developed many cherished relationships with both clients and pets. Those are what keep her coming back!

When Janet’s not behind our reception desk, she spends time at home with her two black Labradors Indigo and Stetson, and the newest addition to the home – Ollivander, a precious, young yellow tabby who has taken over the house. It’s so true – life is more enjoyable with furry friends.

🌟Patient Spotlight: Peppa🌟

Meet Peppa, an 11 year old Chihuahua with a big personality packed into a tiny package🐾💖

Peppa was a rescue, and her mom has loved her since she was just 8 weeks old. Over the years, she has become a cherished member of the family and the perfect little companion.

Some of Peppa's favorite things include car rides, belly rubs, and keeping a close eye on her home. She takes her job as household protector very seriously and is always ready to let everyone know what's happening around her kingdom 👑

Whether she's enjoying an adventure in the car, soaking up affection form her family, or standing guard at home, Peppa does everything with the confidence and charm that make Chihuahuas so special.

We love seeing this sweet girl and are honored to be part of her journey. 💕

🐱❤Happy National Hug Your Cat Day!❤🐱

Today is all about celebrating the special bond we share with our feline friends. Whether your cat loves being carried like a baby, prefers a gentle cuddle on the couch, or simply shows their affection by sitting near you and judging your life choices, every cat has their own unique way of saying "I love you."

Just remember - cat hugs should always be on their terms! A slow blink, a head bump, a lap nap, or a loud purr can be just as meaningful as a cuddle.

📸We'd love to see your cats! Share a photo of your feline friend in the comments and tell us:
🐾Are they a cuddle bug or an independent ruler of the household?

🚨Could Your Dog Be Experiencing Bloat?🚨

Gastric Dilatation Volvulus (GDV), often called "bloat", is a life-threatening emergency that every dog owner should know about.

GDV Occurs when the stomach fills with gas and then twists on itself. When this happens, blood flows to the stomach and other organs is cut off, sending the body into shock. Without immediate veterinary treatment, GDV can become fatal within hours.

🐕Dogs at higher risk include:
• Dogs and giant breed dogs (Great Danes, German Shepherds, Standard Poodles, Weimaraners, and others)
• Deep Chested Breeds
• Dogs that eat very quickly
• Dogs with a family history of bloat

⚠️Signs of GDV include:
• Swollen or distended abdomen
• Repeated attempts to vomit with little or no production
• Excessive drooling
• Pale gums
• Restlessness or pacing
• Signs of pain or discomfort
• Rapid breathing
• Weakness or collapse

If you notice these signs, do not wait to see if your pet improves. GDV is a true emergency emergency, and every minute matters.

While not all cases can be prevented, feeding multiple smaller meals per day, slowing down fast eaters, and discussing preventive gastropexy surgery for high-risk breeds with your veterinarian may help reduce the risk.

Knowing the signs could save your dog's life. If you ever suspect bloat, seek veterinary care immediately

Have questions about your dog's risk for GDV? Our team is happy to help.
