🌟Meet Scout! 🌟

From puppy visits to her recent spay surgery, we've loved watching her grow! 🐶💜

✨Spaying (and neutering) is one of the best choices you can make for your pet's health and well-being.
Here's why:
1️⃣ Health benefits - Helps prevent certain cancers and life threatening infections.
2️⃣ Better Behavior - can reduce roaming, marking, and other unwanted behaviors
3️⃣ Helps all pets - Prevents unplanned litters and reduces pet overpopulation

We're so proud of Scout and love watching her grow up happy & healthy! 🐾💖

Ready to schedule your pet's spay or neuter? Give us a call or book online today. We'd love to be a part of their journey too! 📞 515-274-3489 📍https://grandavenuevet.com/

🐾 Matted Fur: More than Just a Bad Hair Day 🐾

Mats in your pet's fur aren't just unsightly, they can be painful and lead to skin irritation, sores, and even infections. Mats pull on the skin, trap dirt and moisture, and make it hard for your pet to stay comfortable.

Prevent mats by:
✅Brushing your pet regularly ( especially long haired breeds)
✅Keeping up with routine grooming appointments
✅Checking behind ears, under legs, and around the tail- where mats hide most!
✅Addressing small tangles before they turn into big, painful knots

If your pet already has mats, don't try to cut them out yourself-this can easily injure their skin. Bring them to us for safe, gentle grooming.

💛 A little brushing goes a long way to keep your pet healthy, happy, and mat-free!

Healing one paw at a time!

🐾 Meet Jax!
That dark spot on his front paw is a lick granuloma- caused by constant licking that can lead to irritation, hair loss, and infection.

💡Laser therapy is one gentle way to help heal it! The cool goggles he's wearing protect his eyes during treatment.

If your pet has a spot they can't stop licking, we can help! 💙

🐕💡 Myth or Fact?
" A warm nose means your dog is sick."
❌ MYTH!

Your dogs nose can change temperature and moisture throughout the day - its not a reliable sign of illness. Watch for lethargy, appetite loss, or vomiting instead!

Need to schedule an appointment you can call us or schedule your appointment online. New clients receive $25 off their first visit!
