We had a little scare yesterday and had to rush Willow into the vet for a gastric tube insertion to pump her stomach. The poor girl had nearly 10lbs of fluid extracted along with some small gritty gravel. As of this morning she is doing fantastic and back to her normal scrunchy face & shaky butt self 😁 The staff at AMCS always come through for us and our fur babies. We can't thank them enough for all they do.

Tonight took an unfortunate turn and unexpectedly we lost our beloved, Violet Rose. We are still trying to grasp the reality of this happening as no visible signs clued us to what was coming our way.

Finding ourselves at this crossroad reminds us even more so to cherish our beloved pets every day and not to forget all the love and happiness they bring. Happy trails over the rainbow bridge sweet girl. We will miss you.

🚨 PARVO OUTBREAK IN ARIZONA — PLEASE READ & SHARE! 🚨

Arizona is currently experiencing one of the worst Parvo outbreaks we’ve ever seen. Hundreds of dogs across the Valley are being diagnosed every single day.

Please take a moment to review the information below to help keep your pets — and our community’s pets — safe.

⸻

✅ Make Sure Your Dog Is Properly Vaccinated

Puppies:
• MUST receive parvo/distemper vaccines every 3–4 weeks until at least 16 weeks old (sometimes up to 20 weeks depending on your vet’s guidance).
• Should NOT be leaving the house or exposed to public places, parks, pet stores, or unknown dogs until they are fully vaccinated.
• Be cautious of what you bring home on shoes, clothes, and hands — parvo is extremely contagious.

These vaccines must be given by a licensed veterinarian — NOT a breeder, NOT a feed store.

Adult Dogs:
• Need regular boosters to stay protected!

⸻

⚠️ Know the Signs of Parvo

If your dog shows any of the following symptoms — especially if unvaccinated or partially vaccinated — contact your veterinarian immediately or go straight to an emergency clinic:
• Severe, often bloody, foul-smelling diarrhea
• Vomiting
• Loss of appetite or low water intake
• Abdominal pain or bloating
• Extreme lethargy or weakness
• Fever or abnormally low temperature
• Dehydration
• Rapid heart rate
• Weight loss

Parvo is life-threatening and requires immediate vet care. Home remedies do NOT work. These dogs cannot keep medications or fluids down — they need IV care to survive.

⸻

🚗 If You Suspect Parvo

When you arrive at your vet or emergency clinic:
Please call from your car and inform staff of your concern.
Do NOT walk your dog into the lobby.
Clinics will guide you to a safe, isolated area to avoid spreading the virus.

Also, never allow your dog to sniff or interact with other dogs at any animal hospital — many of them are there because they are sick.

⸻

💛 Please share this post to help spread awareness and protect the dogs in our community.
Stay safe

After a very busy weekend our scheduler is back open for new appointments. We received a lot of inquiries for our little chocolate boy. He is still available and appointments may now be scheduled to come see him in paw-son... haha sorry, I'll let myself out 😅

Have a great Thanksgiving week!
