The American Animal Hospital Association has an article about West Nile Virus and your pet.
Welcome to Whitney's Online! Our Mission ... To provide unmatched veterinary healthcare experiences ... every day. Our Vision ... We are commited to being your most trusted & compassionate pet care partner. Our Core Values ... *Compassion *Integrity *Dedication *Human-Animal Bond *Education
We have articles about pet care that we hope will help you to understand your pet's diagnosis, pages that show and explain orthopedic and other surgeries, ultrasound diagnostics, emergency first-aid tips, pet hazards to be aware of, fun ways to exercise with your pet, and treat recipes that you can make at home. We also have articles about traveling with and taking care of your Best Friend.
You may want to start with a list of our Care and Diagnosis Articles, and then look over our Services Page.The holidays may be over, but don't forget that our little four-legged friends don't know that they can't eat the Poinsettia, play with the snow globe, etc. Take a little time to look over our Partial list of Poisonous Substances!
Our Doctors recommend giving heartworm tablets all year for prevention of heartworm and other parasites. Also, don't discontinue your flea-prevention. Fleas carry tapeworm and other parasites and they try to ride along when your pets come inside; I found a flea on the floor of the laundry room the other day. (Little buggers jump & scurry away really fast when you're trying to smash them!) They could be waiting for your little "walking lunch" to come along. Look over our Handouts on Summer Care that includes flea prevention.
Ok, it's going to rain for a couple days - before it snows! We Should have a White Christmas. Let's give our outdoor pets a warm Christmas by checking their bedding to be sure that they have a dry bed to curl up in at night. You can use straw that you buy at a farm supply and they'll love you for it!
If your pets are living inside, you could also consider putting a "straw barrier" down where they come up out of the yard onto the porch or sidewalk. It'll get wet, but will keep some mud from tracking in. You can use it for mulch or compost when you start your gardening next spring.
While we're talking about New Beginnings, we're starting up our food drive for Critter Meals On Wheels! Our past response from our generous clients to this food drive has been overwhelming. We plan to kick it off with an event on Sunday, November 8th - 1pm to 3pm.
We also support Foster Pet Outreach! For more information about them, select their logo!
Temperatures are dipping to the upper 30°s at night. This is just a warning of things to come. We have a handout about Caring for your pets in winter! Also, if you let your pets ride along to the store, remember to take cold weather gear for them - as well as yourself - in case of car trouble. (Of course you always have a leash -- right?) It's also time to make arrangements for outdoor water for any of your animals that stay outside. Farm supplies & pet stores sell devices that you can put in their water to keep it from freezing.

Have you tried any of our puzzles yet? They're intended for the younger set, but it's kinda nice to find a simple jigsaw puzzle that goes together quickly. We made some easy JigSaw Puzzles out of some of the puppy and kitten pictures. (Perhaps your new pet is one of them?) Or - Let them try one of our Crossword Puzzles. They're based on our handouts, so they can look the answers up if they get stumped.
