We have been seeing more and more puppies, which makes us so happy! 🐾🤗

Here are some simple training tips for all you new dog owners!!

1. PRAISE good behavior!
Your puppy went potty outside? Make sure you give the puppy lots of praise!

2. Use Treats!
Treats are a great way to praise your puppy! Using your puppies kibble or even green beans are a great alternative to fatty treats when using a lot for training.

3. Be Consistent!
Everyone in the household needs to be working together and using the same commands, ect.

4. Redirect Inappropriate Behavior!
Your puppy is chewing on you? Redirect with a toy or chew that they are allowed to chew on instead.

5. End On a Positive Note!
Keep training sessions short as attention spans are short. End with a successful training moment and end with praise and treats!

We can always recommend trainers and give more advice as needed! 🐾

Did you know we offer Laser Therapy for your pets?

Therapeutic lasers help tissue repair by causing muscle relaxation, endorphin release, decreased inflammation, and faster healing and repair.

Laser therapy is great for things such as chronic arthritis, surgical incisions, traumatic injuries, and tendon and ligament injuries.

Junie here is getting laser with us currently!
Both the humans and the pets have to wear protective eye-wear so we get to take cute photographs as a plus ❤️🐾

Good Afternoon everyone!!
After all the cats we have had this year, all have found forever homes except Miss Oogie Boogie.
She is a shy girl but definitely wants to play. She LOVES other cats (Harry specifically) and would love to find a foster-to-adopt home that will be willing to work with her and give her time and understand she may or may not be a cuddler and things may just be on her terms.
She would do great in a home with a male cat.
She has had vaccines and been spayed.

Please reach out to us at 219-462-9668 if you are interested.

UPDATE: ADOPTED ❤️🐾

This is McQueen. He is available for adoption!

He is 7/8 months old and he is the absolute best boy ever. He’s a bit shy at first but very playful and sweet once he is warmed up to you. He is SO SOFT.
He loves other cats and is litter box trained, up to date on vaccinations, and HW/FEL/FIV negative.
He has a slight looser stool issue and we are currently feeding Hills GI Biome in hopes it tames it- he may need to be on it for life.
❤️🤗🐾
Please reach out to us if you are interested!
Photos are from a staff member home where he gets to visit on weekends.

❗️Canine Parvovirus ❗️

Canine parvovirus (also called Parvo) is a very highly contagious disease with several strains that all produce similar signs. All dogs are susceptible to parvovirus, though some are at a greater risk than others.
Dogs at risk include puppies between 6-20 weeks of age, and unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated dogs.
The signs of Parvo include lethargy, fever, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea (severe, often bloody), and abdominal pain or bloating.

Parvo is spread by direct contact with infected dogs, f***s, or bedding or surfaces that have come in contact with the infected animal. The virus is resistant to things such as heat, cold, drying, and humidity. It can live in the environment for long periods of time. The disease is highly contagious and this makes it difficult to disinfect appropriately.

The treatment for Parvo is emergency supportive care with 24/7 monitoring. This is a life threatening disease if left untreated.

You can keep your dog safe from parvovirus by vaccinating them on time. The vaccine this is included in is called DHPP, DAPP, or DA2PP. This vaccine also protects them from a few other diseases. Puppies should be boostered every 2-4 weeks from the age of 6 weeks to 16 weeks and then adults should be boostered every 1 or 3 years. Keeping your unvaccinated dog away from unknown dogs and places is also very important!

Call us today to make sure your dog is protected!

🗣️🗣️❗️❗️Educational Post Alert!!!!❗️❗️🗣️🗣️ Let’s talk about heart worm disease in dogs.❤️🐾 Heart worm is caused by Dirofilaria Immitis (D. Immitis) and is transmitted to a canine by bites from infected mosquitos, the larvae then grows into an adult heartworm in a dogs bloodstream, heart, and lungs. One heartworm can grow up to a foot long. In the early stages of the disease, pets likely will have no symptoms, which is why we like to draw a small blood sample yearly to check for the disease. When symptoms do occur, they can include the following: mild but persistent cough, decreased appetite, reluctance to exercise, fatigue after mild-moderate exercise, difficulty breathing, weight loss, and a swollen abdomen. Dogs that may be infected with a large number of heartworms may develop cardiovascular collapse, which is a sudden blockage of blood flow within the heart. Symptoms of this may include pale gums, sudden labored breathing, and dark, bloody urine. This can result in death. Treatment for heartworm may cost anywhere from $500-$2000 and it is hard on a dogs body. It includes multiple injections and the dog has to stay calm while being treated. ❗️❗️❗️YOU CAN PREVENT HEARTWORMS❗️❗️❗️ We recommend yearly testing, and year- round preventatives. Some preventatives we offer at the clinic are Simparica Trio, Heartgard, Interceptor Plus, and Proheart 12. 🐾In the video, you can see a “baby heartworm”, a positive heartworm test, and the lifecycle of heartworms.
