Sage is an active German Shorthaired Pointer but at 12 years old she started struggling with some mobility issues. Daily medications and joint supplements help with pain and inflammation but weekly therapy laser sessions have provided the additional relief that keeps her running!

Pet laser therapy is the use of specific wavelengths of light to create therapeutic effects. These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling. We have laser therapy available as single sessions or in packages based on your pets specific needs.

Summertime means fun in the sun and time outdoors! But for your dog it can mean sore joints and inflammation from the extra activity. Are you noticing your dog is slow to rise, less enthusiastic about going outside or limping? If you would like to have your dog's level of pain assessed and learn more about our pain management options please give us a call!

It seems there is a love/hate relationship between dogs and delivery drivers. This image was captured as the delivery driver left a box of Greenies by the front door and the reaction is priceless! Do you have any images of your dog sharing their opinion with a delivery driver?

Are you tempted to feed your dog from the table or grill? It may be tempting to let your dog eat table scraps or have a treat from the grill especially when they are persistent. You may even think you are giving them a nice little treat. However, the high-calorie, high-fat foods we enjoy can be some of the worst foods for our pets. Just one generous helping of a fat-laden meal including hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken or seemingly innocent leftovers can have serious impacts on your dog's health. Ingesting high fat foods can create an onset of pancreatitis and gastrointestinal upset.

Should your dog get food off of the table or floor, don't panic! Just keep an eye out for vomiting, diarreha or lethargy and give us a call with any questions or concerns.
