Each year, our team creates an Ofrenda — a traditional altar built to honor and remember loved ones who have passed. This heartfelt tribute has grown in meaning, celebrating our closest companions and the hardest goodbyes. 💙

An Ofrenda (Spanish for “offering”) is central to Día de los Mu***os (Day of the Dead) — a tradition on November 1st and 2nd that welcomes back the spirits of those we love.

It’s not about grief, but gratitude and joy — a reminder that love lives on, even after goodbye. 🌼

After this year’s beautiful turnout, we plan to open our Ofrenda to the public next year, inviting our community to join us in remembering the pets who’ve left paw-prints on our hearts.

Wishing everyone a happy, safe, and spooky season from our team at Cascade 🎃🐶🐱

🐾 Meet Phillip Starkey—a brave pup who recently faced a life-threatening emergency. When he suddenly became lethargic and not his usual self, his mom acted fast and brought him to Cascade.

Under the care of Dr. Leah Edwards, Phillip was quickly diagnosed with a splenic mass and internal bleeding—a critical condition requiring immediate surgery. Edwards and our medical team performed an emergency splenectomy to remove his spleen and stop the bleeding.

Thanks to the quick response and expert care, Phillip pulled through the surgery and is now on the road to recovery. We’re so proud of Phillip’s strength and honored to have been part of his journey to healing.

Reign, a 5-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, was rushed to after his eye partially —likely from rough play with a housemate.

Dr. Leah Edwards led emergency treatment to reduce the eye and tack the eyelid closed to protect it while the swelling goes down. Medications were started immediately to manage pain, swelling, and prevent infection.

This week, Reign returned for a , and we’re thrilled with the results. His eye is healing beautifully.

Eye prolapse is ALWAYS an emergency, especially in small breeds like Yorkies, Pugs, Frenchies and Shih Tzus and more. If your dog’s eye bulges or looks out of place, seek care immediately.
