It's Animal Poison Prevention Week! The second most common pet poison exposure is from human food and drinks, and chocolate. Things like grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, xylitol, protein drinks and bars, macadamia nuts, raw yeast dough, alcohol, and caffeinated drinks are all dangerous to your pets. Chocolate is an especially common and dangerous toxicity for your pets.
Look out for things like vomiting and diarrhea, restlessness, increased thirst, rapid breathing and increased heart rate, muscle tremors, and seizures.
Please be careful to not leave food or drinks lying around, be mindful of keeping the garbage can closed, and secure foods in the pantry or fridge. Do not feed your pet table scraps, and keep nosy pets away from the kitchen or dining area when eating or cooking.

Let's talk about kidneys!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Kidneys are an important part of filtering out waste. When this function is compromised it falls into two categories:​​​​​​​​​- Acute kidney injury
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD)

Why should I care about kidney disease?
It is estimated that over 1 in 3 cats and 1 in 10 dogs will develop kidney disease in their lifetime. Therefore, early detection is best!

What causes CKD?
Kidney stones, infections, including Lyme disease, toxins, injuries, generic abnormalities, cancer, and other factors.

How will I know if my pet has kidney disease?
Routine screening will help identify kidney disease. Changes in your pet's behavior, urination defecation and eating and drinking habits can be indicators or kidney disease.

What does that mean?
The good news is that CKD can be treated and managed with the help of your veterinarian. Changes in diet and the right medication can help your pet live happily after being diagnosed with a good quality of life.

As a veterinary office, our primary focus is always on the well-being of our furry patients. However, every once in a while, we receive a surprise that reminds us of the positive impact we have on our clients as well.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Recently, we were pleasantly surprised to receive a beautiful bouquet of flowers from one of our clients.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Receiving these flowers was a heartwarming experience for all of us at the veterinary office. It reminded us of the meaningful connections we form with our clients and the importance of the work we do.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
As veterinary professionals, we often encounter challenging cases and difficult decisions. However, receiving this thoughtful gesture helped us remember the joy and fulfillment that comes with helping animals and their human companions.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We are grateful for the trust our clients place in us and we will continue to strive to provide the best care possible for their furry family members. Thank you to all of our wonderful clients for the opportunity to care for your pets – your appreciation means the world to us!
