has even happened to clients at DVC. Dr Haugo's own dog used to regularly turn on the burners until she got child protecting covers to thwart that. Be careful folks and Happy Holiday to you all.

Officials are reminding pet owners to consider fire safety when decorating for the holidays, especially when leaving animals home alone.

🌞 Good Morning, Yuma! 🌟
We're excited to announce our Annual Community Food & Supply Drive this November — and we need your help to make a difference!
This year again, local veterinary clinics are teaming up to support individuals and pets in need throughout our community. We're collecting:

🐾 Dry dog and cat food
🥫 Non-perishable food items
👕 Gently used or New clothing
🧼 Toiletries and hygiene products

Every donation, big or small, helps bring comfort and care to those who need it most. Together, we can make a meaningful impact — not just for people, but for their beloved pets too.
Drop-off locations are listed below, and donations will be accepted all month long. Let’s come together to show just how generous and compassionate Yuma can be!
Thank you for your support — your kindness truly matters. 💛

This week, we shine a spotlight on the heart of our veterinary practice—our amazing Veterinary Technicians! 💙
Vet Techs are the unsung heroes who bring compassion, skill, and dedication to every patient they care for. From assisting in surgeries and monitoring anesthesia to comforting nervous pets and educating pet parents, they do it all with grace and grit.
We are endlessly grateful for their tireless work, sharp expertise, and the love they pour into every tail wag, purr, and paw shake. 🐶🐱🐰
To our Vet Techs: thank you for being the backbone of our team and for making a difference in the lives of animals and their humans every single day. You are truly pawsome! 🐾💪

Today is World Rabies Day. Many people forget how serious and deadly this disease is and how it is possible for any mammal can contract the disease. To my knowledge there are ony 1 or 2 people EVER who have contracted rabies and survived... albeit with disabilities. Vaccines are mandated by law for a reason. This fatal and nasty disease is preventable so read about Rabies today and be sure your pets are up to date on vaccination.

The unvaccinated horse ultimately died after being scratched and exhibiting symptoms over the course of several days.
