The cost of veterinary care has risen very little over the last 20 to 30 years, especially when compared to the cost of human health care or almost any other services.Veterinary fees are a reflection of the costs of maintaining suitable facilities, equipment and support personnel to provide the level of care that is expected in animal medicine today. Remember, too, the original cost of the animal has no bearing on the cost of services delivered. Annual veterinary care is a cost that should be factored in to the decision to own a pet.  ]]> 398 0 0 0 <![CDATA[brentwoodpromotion]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/slides/50-off-first-exam/brentwoodpromotion/ Fri, 04 Nov 2022 20:42:54 +0000 https://cvwebdvm.com/brentwoodah/wp-content/uploads/sites/449/2022/11/brentwoodpromotion.png 4358 4357 0 0 <![CDATA[Can’t I just give my dog/cat a Tylenol or Advil to help with pain, rather than paying for more costly veterinary pain medication?]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?post_type=faq&p=354 Thu, 26 May 2011 14:56:12 +0000 https://web4.lifelearn.com/lifelearnanimalhospital/?post_type=faq&p=354 354 0 0 0 <![CDATA[My cat doesn’t go outside.

As a new client of our Animal Hospital in Brentwood, you can expect our full attention to your pets’ needs. When you arrive for your appointment, you will be greeted warmly, and we'll usher you into an examination room after checking in your pet. In most cases, one of our veterinary technicians will start by asking about your pet's medical history, current condition and the reason for your visit, gathering data for the doctor. Then, one of our veterinarians will examine your pet, ask you further questions and then may recommend diagnostic tests if needed. Once the tests have been run, which can usually be done in the practice, your doctor will discuss a possible diagnosis and treatment plan if warranted. This is a great time to ask questions. Our veterinary team wants to make sure you're completely comfortable with the information we're providing. Our veterinary technician will likely come back to wrap things up and will provide you with helpful pet care information and answer wellness and care questions for you. Our front desk staff will process your payment and schedule any needed follow up. Please note: Our goal is to see all our clients and patients on time, and although we have contingencies for emergencies, there will be times where the unexpected will create delays. We will ensure these are minimized as much as possible.

    <![CDATA[What's New With the Flu?!]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=3767 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 22:28:01 +0000 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=3767 What’s New With the Flu? As we wrap up 2015, we look back at what’s happened over the past year and what we can expect in the future. To this end, we wanted to keep you updated on one of 2015’s biggest issues in the world of canine health for the Midwest, the canine influenza outbreak. What is Canine Flu? Canine flu, or influenza, is a highly contagious infection caused by an influenza virus. The causative strains have been identified as H3N8, and as of 2015, H3N2. Approximately 80% of dogs who are exposed to the virus become infected and develop clinical signs. Unfortunately the remaining 20% of dogs who are exposed can still shed the virus and spread infection, despite appearing otherwise healthy. Symptoms of canine influenza are predominantly nasal discharge, coughing, and fever. What are the different influenza strains? The H3N8 strain was first identified in 2004 as an outbreak among racing greyhounds, and has been identified in 40 states. Risk for most Missouri dogs was extremely low, and therefore the influenza vaccine was not recommended as a “core” vaccine. The second strain, H3N2, appeared limited to Korea, China and Thailand, until March 2015. A significant outbreak erupted in the Chicagoland area, and soon spread to other areas of the country. More than 2,000 dogs were affected, and some unfortunately did not survive. A vaccine for this strain did not yet exist. Because of the severity and swift spread of this virus, dogs across the country were vaccinated using the old H3N8 strain, as it was believed to provide some protective immunity. Eventually, scientists identified this strain as the H3N2 virus. A new vaccine was developed for this strain and released in late November 2015. How is the virus transmitted? Canine influenza is spread via airborne respiratory particles (from coughing, sneezing and barking) and via contaminated objects (including bowls, collars/leashes and kennel surfaces). People moving in between infected and uninfected dogs can also spread these particles. Unfortunately, the influenza virus can live on hard surfaces for up to 48 hours. What dogs are at risk? In general, any dog that is at risk for kennel cough should be considered at risk for canine influenza. Those dogs who interact commonly with other dogs, such as those who go to daycare, dog parks, grooming and boarding facilities, are at the highest risk. Dogs that may travel, particularly to parts of the country that endured an outbreak such as Chicago, should also be vaccinated. Your veterinarian can help you assess your pet’s risk. What are we recommending at Brentwood AH? We recommend that if your pet does go to grooming, boarding, day care, or to the dog park, he or she should have the influenza vaccine. Ideally, because we now have the vaccine for the H3N2 strain that was isolated in Chicago, we recommend vaccinating your dog with this new strain. What if my dog was already vaccinated for the flu with the old vaccine? If your dog already received the old strain (H3N8), they have some protection. From what we know as of this posting, many local kennels and day care facilities will still accept your dog to stay as long as they have been vaccinated with at least one of the strains. Because the new strain (H3N2) was in fact the strain isolated in the Chicago outbreak and there is now a vaccine available, we feel that it is the best medicine to vaccinate your pet for this strain. Similarly to the previous vaccine, the new influenza vaccine requires two vaccines 2-4 weeks apart initially. Assuming this strain is still a concern next year, your pet will just need a yearly booster. Have further questions? Want more info?

    Can you imagine telling your dog, “Let’s go to the vet!” and seeing her tail wag? How about getting out your cat’s carrier and seeing him come running? Owners of our patients won't need to imagine it when they visit Brentwood Animal Hospital. That's because we've chosen to be a part of  a new initiative sweeping veterinary medicine designed to ease the stress, fear, and anxiety so many pets experience while at the veterinarian. Known as Fear Free SM, the training and certification program helps veterinarians and entire practices modify their procedures, handling, and facilities to help pets feel safe and comfortable while receiving the medical care they need.
    The Fear Free training program was developed by board-certified veterinary behaviorists, veterinary technician behavior specialists, board-certified veterinary anesthetists, well-known veterinary practice management experts, and boarded veterinary practitioners experienced in Fear Free methods. “Providing veterinarians and their staff with the tools they need to ease this burden of fear and anxiety for our patients is the pinnacle of my 37-year veterinary career,” said Dr. Becker, who was dubbed “America’s Veterinarian” by Dr. Oz and appeared on “Good Morning America” for 17 years. “Veterinary professionals are hungry for this information. Animals and their humans need and deserve it. And now it’s here!”
    To become certified, veterinarians and veterinary staff must complete a comprehensive 8-part educational course and exam. Required continuing education courses to remain certified ensure that their skills stay up to date. To learn more about the Fear Free initiative, visit www.fearfreepets.com.
    We've also compiled these helpful resources for you to make your pet's next visit as Fear Free as possible:

Canine flu, or influenza, is a highly contagious infection caused by an influenza virus. The causative strains have been identified as H3N8, and as of 2015, H3N2. Approximately 80% of dogs who are exposed to the virus become infected and develop clinical signs. Unfortunately, the remaining 20% of dogs who are exposed can still shed the virus and spread infection, despite appearing otherwise healthy. Symptoms of canine influenza are predominantly nasal discharge, coughing, and fever. What are the different influenza strains? The H3N8 strain was first identified in 2004 as an outbreak among racing greyhounds, and has been identified in 40 states. Risk for most Missouri dogs was extremely low, and therefore the influenza vaccine was not recommended as a “core” vaccine. The second strain, H3N2, appeared limited to Korea, China and Thailand, until March 2015. A significant outbreak erupted in the Chicagoland area, and soon spread to other areas of the country. More than 2,000 dogs were affected, and some unfortunately did not survive. A vaccine for this strain did not yet exist. Because of the severity and swift spread of this virus, dogs across the country were vaccinated using the old H3N8 strain, as it was believed to provide some cross-protective immunity. Eventually, scientists identified this strain as the H3N2 virus. A new vaccine was developed for this strain and released in late November 2015. How is the virus transmitted? Canine influenza is spread via airborne respiratory particles (from coughing, sneezing and barking) and via contaminated objects (including bowls, collars/leashes and kennel surfaces). People moving in between infected and uninfected dogs can also spread these particles. Unfortunately, the influenza virus can live on hard surfaces for up to 48 hours. What dogs are at risk? In general, any dog that is at risk for kennel cough should be considered at risk for canine influenza. Those dogs who interact commonly with other dogs, such as those who go to daycare, dog parks, grooming and boarding facilities, are at the highest risk. Dogs that may travel, particularly to parts of the country that endured an outbreak such as Chicago, should also be vaccinated. Your veterinarian can help you assess your pet’s risk. What are we recommending at Brentwood Animal Hospital? We recommend that if your pet is in social settings with other dogs such as grooming, boarding, day care, or to the dog park, he or she should have the influenza vaccine. Ideally, because we now have the vaccine for the H3N2 strain that was isolated in Chicago, we recommend vaccinating your dog with this new strain. What if my dog was already vaccinated for the flu with the “old” vaccine? If your dog already received the old strain (H3N8), they should have some protection. From what we know as of this posting, many local kennels and day care facilities will still accept your dog to stay as long as they have been vaccinated with at least one of the strains. Because the new strain (H3N2) was in fact the strain isolated in the Chicago outbreak and there is now a vaccine available, we feel that it is the best medicine to vaccinate your pet for this strain. Similarly to the previous vaccine, the new influenza vaccine requires two vaccines 2-4 weeks apart initially. Assuming this strain is still a concern the following year, your pet will just need an annual booster. Have further questions? Want more info?

    Now through the end of 2016, we're offering a 20% discount on all Royal Canin Genetic Health Tests. 
    You may have heard of these "breed analysis" tests in the past. However, Royal Canin Genetic Health Analysis profiles are different-- offering both breed analysis AND genetic disease screening.

    These new, simple tests check your dog for more than 130 genetic diseases, including degenerative myelopathy, the multi-drug resistance gene (MDR-1), dilated cardiomyopathy, and so many more. Knowing if your pet is a carrier for these diseases helps us avoid, delay, or lessen the severity of illness for your pet when they arise.  We thought it would be interesting to share the process of testing your pooch, so Dr. DeWilde's pooch Maple stepped up as our first GHA test to walk you through! First, we opened the individual GHA test kit. Each test is bar coded for tracking and to ensure the accuracy of the results. Second, we drew a small blood sample from Maple. Don't worry, Monique gave her some cuddles and treats afterward, so she didn't mind. Dr. DeWilde registered the kit online with our office information as well as her contact information, since both the clinic and the owner get a copy of the results. We double checked the blood sample and packed it up properly for mailing out right away! Monique was kind enough to ask her dad, a USPS postman, to make sure this very important package made it safely into the mail. We couldn't hardly wait for the results. GHA Collage 1 GHA Collage 2 Since Maple was a rescue dog that Dr. DeWilde adopted in vet school many years ago, we didn't know much about her history. We were guessing she was some sort of corgi mix, possibly with some lab or beagle. More importantly, Dr. DeWilde was worried about if Maple was a carrier for degenerative myelopathy. This disease, common in corgis and German shepherds, can cause progressive orthopedic issues as dogs age. At nearly 12 years of age and with a history of orthopedic issues, we all hoped that this wouldn't add to Maple's issues. In just 2 weeks, we had the results! While we did learn Maple was a carrier for degenerative myelopathy, she only had a single copy so it's unlikely that she will develop this disease! She also passed the rest of her genetic tests with flying colors! And now for the fun stuff....what the heck kind of dog is this short legged fluff ball? Drum roll please....... Maple GHA Cover Maple GHA Page 6 (Click to expand photos) Maple's genetic health analysis showed a variety of breeds all the way back to her great grandparents! While there were multiple corgis present, she also had beagle, collie, and Chow Chow in her lineage. She is now proven to be the ultimate mutt and we had a great time guessing where she came from. Mutt or not, she's still the cutest. Maple GHA Breed page Running the tests on several of our own pets and now several clients has given us so much more information our veterinarians can use to keep them healthy and institute even more preventative health care measures to help them lead long, happy lives. While guessing the breed background is fun, the genetic health testing provides us solid medical information. We are now regularly recommending these tests for many pets, even purebred animals. For instance, we have recommended the test to the following patients: - Any new sight hound/herding dog puppies (e.g. Australian shepherds and collies) to check for the MDR-1 (multi-drug resistant gene) gene that may cause the patient to be intolerant to common medications like heartworm preventatives. -King Charles Cavalier puppies: to check for the presence of the dilated cardiomyopathy gene -Corgi and German shepherd puppies: to check for the presence of the degenerative myelopathy gene -Any pet owner interested in learning more about their pet's background and genetic health predispositions
    If you're interested in testing your pooch, please call our office to schedule a quick outpatient blood draw. Within 2-3 weeks, you'll receive a detailed, comprehensive report analyzing your pet's lineage and the results of their genetic disease testing. 

    Now through December 31st, we're offering 20% off of these tests. In addition, we'll be posting "Guess the breed" photos on our Facebook page, using photos of the pets we have tested and confirmed! Post your guess and winners will be entered in a drawing for a free GHA test at the end of our promotion! 

    For more information on the test procedure, call our office or visit RoyalCaninGHA.com]]>

With cats being the most beloved pet in the country, there is a growing need to improve the health care and overall well-being of the feline population. Whether it’s a routine checkup or special visit, the staff at Brentwood Animal Hospital is committed to ensuring that cats get the best care. And, to further its dedication, the clinic recently implemented the Cat Friendly Practice (CFP) program to offer pet owners more at every phase of the cat’s health care process. At Brentwood Animal Hospital, we are committed to providing quality care to our feline patients. When we heard about the CFP program, we knew it was time to take a fresh look at the practice to determine what could be done to make the veterinary visit more positive for cats and cat owners. Program Puts Cats First The American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) pioneered the CFP program to provide a framework for creating a positive practice environment for cats, including medical care that supports the cat’s unique needs and knowledgeable staff members who understand feline-friendly handling. “The AAFP realizes that cats present unique challenges before, during, and after a veterinary visit,” said Dr. Susan Little, DVM, DABVP (Feline) & President, American Association of Feline Practitioners. “Some things that can cause a cat anxiety include aversion to carriers, sensitivity to new sights and smells, and the added stress of an unfamiliar location or experience. Understanding these obstacles helped to shape the CFP program and its dedication to putting the needs of cats first.” At a CFP-designated clinic, the veterinary staff incorporates cat-friendly features into the physical environment of the practice including special waiting rooms or waiting accommodations, feline-sensitive examination rooms and ward facilities, and equipment appropriate specifically for cats. Staff members also approach cat care in a different manner. The staff learns how to understand the needs of the cat such as how to interpret a cat’s facial expression and body language. Furthermore, the staff is well-trained in alternate techniques to calm an anxious cat and ensure that exams and procedures do not escalate anxiety. The "Cat-vocate" team at Brentwood spent several months making tweaks to our cat-only exam room, feline protocols, hospitalized patient comforts and education for the entire staff. Some changes included: -Limiting cat examinations to a cat-only exam room, where outside smells, noises and other distractions are minimized. Our feline-friendly exam room has a Feliway diffuser, additional cat related owner materials, door and drawer stoppers to minimize sounds, warm towels, a cat tree for hiding and play, and more! -Cat-friendly music (yes, there are studies to back this up!) is played in the feline exam room. -Feline patients are brought into to the exam room as quickly as possible, or offered a Feliway (stress-relieving pheromone) towel to cover their patient's carrier and minimize visual stressors. -Updated protocols and handling techniques minimize the stress to the patient during the exam and any hospitalized visits   “We evaluated every aspect of the practice and its environment from the perspective of the cat,” Dr. Caitlin DeWilde said. “We can proudly say that from the minute they walk through the door, our patients and clients will be part of a welcoming, comfortable experience that will ultimately lead to the improved health of our feline patients.” After months of preparation and completing many educational modules, the Brentwood Catvocate team submitted their application, protocols and photos to the American Association of Feline Practitioners. We were proud to receive certification of being a Cat-Friendly Practice! For more information about this certification or how we can better help your feline family members, please call us at 314-962-2900. You may also learn more at the AAFP's website for cat owners, http://catfriendly.com/. We look forward to providing the best care to our feline patients!]]> 3848 0 0 0 34 http://norcalvet.com/ 0 0 <![CDATA[Holiday Foods Your Pets Should Avoid]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/2017/12/15/3865/ Fri, 15 Dec 2017 21:03:06 +0000 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=3865 Holiday Safety Tips from Dr. Alicia Marquart  Tis the Season, but with it brings a lot of potential dangers to your pet. Below is a list of safety tips for your pets this holiday season:
    1. Be careful of feeding your animal those extra scraps. Generally our Christmas food can be high in fat. Fatty foods for pets has a high rate or causing a disease called Pancreatitis. Pancreatitis causes lethargy, inappetance, vomiting and diarrhea. It often requires supportive care +/- hospitalization. Go ahead and give them some plain green beans or carrots instead.
    2. A lot of our holiday casseroles contain onions and/or garlic. Remember that these foods are toxic to our furry friends. Make sure you are not giving them any of those delicious scraps with these extra seasonings.
    3. Do not feed your pet the extra bones from the meat dishes this year. Those bones can break and then cause serious GI (vomiting/diarrhea) issues. In some cases, emergency surgery is needed.
    4. Many of those delicious deserts you eat contain chocolate. Remember that chocolate is toxic to your pet.
    5. All that gift wrapping can get tiring, but remember to put away any ribbons and/or strings. Cats love playing and eating them, which can lead to intestinal foreign bodies.
    6. Here is a list of foods to make your pet avoid during the holiday season (and always) and why
    Alcohol You can start noticing clinical signs 30-60 minutes after ingestion. You would notice nausea, vomiting, increased drinking/urination, dehydration, lethargy, abnormal gait and disorientation. Avocado Avocado toxicosis is rare in dogs and cats. Avocado’s contain persin, which is more of a problem in cows, horses, birds, goats and fish. Clinical signs of Avacodo toxicosis is vomiting, diarrhea and can cause heart problems that lead to death. Again, this is very rare in our domestic small animals, but still a good idea to stay away from just in case. Chocolate, Coffee and Caffeine This is a real threat to our four legged friends. You generally start noticing clinical signs 1-2 hours after ingestion. You will notice restlessness, hyperactivity, vomiting, abnormal activity, abnormal gait, or diarrhea. It can lead to seizures or sudden death as well. Citrus This is more for cats. Be careful with the stems, peels, seeds and fruits, which contain citrus oils. You may notice vomiting, diarrhea, depression or sensitivity to light. Luckily, most cats don’t find citrus appealing. Grapes and Raisins Depending on the dog, 1 raisin may kill them or 100 may do nothing. Even if your dog eats one, they should be seen right away because once you see clinical signs it is often too late to salvage your dog’s kidneys. Clinical signs include vomiting, inappetance, diarrhea, lethargy, abdominal pain, increased drinking/urination or decreased/no urination. Macadamia nuts This is another dog toxicity. Clinical signs are weakness, depression, vomiting, abnormal gait, joint/muscle pain, and swelling of the joints. Milk and Dairy This is more to help decrease the amount you have to clean up after the holidays. Dairy can cause vomiting and/or diarrhea. Nuts Most nuts contain a high amount of fat, which can cause pancreatitis. The clinical signs are inappetance, lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea. Onions, Garlic and Chives Cats are more at risk than dogs in this category, but it is still a risk for both. These vegetables and herbs can cause damage to red blood cells. You may notice lethargy and pale gums, but other clinical signs are very vague. This is usually a diagnosis that must be made by blood exams. Raw, undercooked meat, eggs and bones There are several bacteria that your dog and cats’ guts cannot tolerate anymore, which can lead to severe intestinal disease. An infection may require a significant surgery or hospitalization. There is always a risk that bones can cause chocking or splinter and cause damage somewhere along your animal’s gastrointestinal tract. Salty foods Clinical signs to watch for are vomiting, diarrhea, depression, tremors, increased body temperature, seizures and can lead to death. Make sure your pet avoids those high salty snacks. Xylitol Look for this ingredient in gum, candy, baked goods and tooth paste. This will lead to liver damage and dangerously low amounts of glucose in the blood. Signs to watch for are vomiting, lethargy, abnormal gait that progresses to seizure activity. If noted, place syrup on your animal’s gums and rush them into the nearest hospital. Yeast dough The dough will start “cooking” in your pet’s stomach. This leads to bloat and can be an emergency situation. You will notice nausea, inappetance, retching and lethargy. The yeast will also produce ethanol (see alcohol toxicity).   If your pet eats/drinks any of these, please call us immediately, or if after hours, seek emergency assistance at one of our local animal emergency clinics:

    <![CDATA[Protecting Your Puppy: What We Vaccinate For and Why]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/2018/09/13/protecting-your-puppy-what-we-vaccinate-for-and-why/ Thu, 13 Sep 2018 03:10:52 +0000 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=3931 DISTEMPER Canine distemper is a very contagious and deadly disease caused by a virus. Dogs and ferrets as well as certain species of wildlife, such as raccoons, wolves, foxes, and skunks, are at risk. Although there is no cure for distemper, the most important fact to remember is that it is preventable through vaccination. For dogs that have developed clinical signs of distemper, the prognosis is very guarded depending on the immune response and severity of symptoms. Dogs that develop neurological signs are the least likely to recover. While dogs of all ages can become infected with canine distemper virus, puppies— especially those with poor immune systems or those that are unvaccinated or not completely vaccinated—are at the greatest risk for this nasty virus, which is spread through the air or by direct contact. It invades the tonsils and lymph nodes first, and then spreads to the respiratory, urinary, digestive, and nervous systems. PARVOVIRUS Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a nasty, highly contagious illness, spread from dog to dog by direct or indirect contact with feces. That means that your dog can get CPV from either eating an infected dog’s poop or simply sniffing an infected dog’s hindquarters! It can be especially hard on puppies who haven’t yet been vaccinated because their immune systems haven’t yet fully developed. CPV shows up in two forms: intestinal and, more rarely, cardiac. Symptoms of the intestinal form of CPV include:  Extreme vomiting  Severe diarrhea, often containing mucus or blood  Anorexia  Lethargy  High fever or, sometimes, a low body temperature (hypothermia)  Severe abdominal pain Because the intestinal form of CPV results in fluid losses and because the affected intestines do not absorb nutrients and proteins properly, he’ll weaken, lose weight and become dehydrated pretty quickly. The cardiac form of CPV tends to attack very young puppies, causing cardiovascular and respiratory failure and, unfortunately, often leads to death. LEPTOSPIROSIS Leptospirosis is an infectious disease that can affect many animals including wildlife, rodents, dogs and people. The disease is caused not just by one specific strain of Leptospira spp. but rather by any of a number of different serovars (types) within this bacterial genus. They exist everywhere in the world but are most commonly prevalent during periods of heavy rainfall. Your dog can contract the organism through direct contact with another infected animal, by eating infected meat or most commonly through contact with anything that has been contaminated by the urine of an infected animal. Most infections occur when dogs go swimming in and/or drink infected water, but in reality most anything (plants, dirt, objects or water) can be a potential source of infection. RABIES Always fatal, rabies is a viral infection that affects your pet’s brain and central nervous system (CNS). Primarily spread through the bite of infected animals such as foxes, raccoons, bats, and skunks, rabies is a zoonotic infection that can affect all mammals, meaning it can be transmitted to humans. For this reason, rabies vaccination is required by law for all dogs and cats. BORDETELLA (KENNEL COUGH) Kennel cough, or tracheobronchitis, is an infectious bronchitis that could be compared to a cold with a scratchy throat in people. The most common symptom of canine kennel cough is a harsh, hacking cough that sounds as if something is stuck in your dog’s throat. This annoying cough is most commonly caused by highly contagious bacteria; in other cases, the cause can be viral. Dogs in highly populated situations such as boarding facilities, doggy day care, and dog parks are most likely to get kennel cough, which can be transmitted by air or by contact with infected surfaces. Puppies and younger dogs are at the greatest risk, but older dogs can also become infected. INFLUENZA Also known as canine influenza, the dog flu is cause by a particular strain of the influenza virus that can be passed very easily between dogs. Luckily, even though it’s similar to the flu in humans, it isn’t zoonotic, meaning it can’t be transmitted from pet to parent. It’s important to note while canine influenza can stand alone, it is often involved with other infections that combine to cause what’s known as “kennel cough.” While there have been outbreaks of pure canine influenza virus throughout the world and in the Midwest, it has only recently been identified. We recommend vaccinating for this if your dog travels to the groomer, day care or boarding facilities.]]> 3931 0 0 0 <![CDATA[Protecting Your Kitten: What We Vaccinate For and Why]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=4119 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=4119 Many serious diseases can be prevented with vaccinations. With nearly 85 million pet cats in the United States, your pet is likely to come in contact with an infectious disease at some point in their life. Even if your pet is indoors, your cat can be exposed to viruses carried in the air, in dust, or on clothing. Vaccination is a safe and inexpensive protection against costly, and in some cases, deadly diseases. Our hospital follows the recommendations of the American Animal Hospital Association for general guidelines, but also works with you to customize your pet’s vaccination program based on their age, breed and lifestyle! Here are the diseases our general vaccination protocols will protect your cat against:]]> 4119 0 0 0 <![CDATA[Intestinal Parasites: What You Need to Know]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=4125 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=4125 Dogs and cats can become hosts to many intestinal parasites, some of which can cause serious symptoms and/or be transmitted to people. For this reason, we follow the CDC’s recommendation to deworm all new puppies. We also recommend that all puppies have at least TWO negative fecal examinations over the course of their initial preventative care cycle to ensure that they are parasite free and none have been missed. Adult dogs should be tested yearly. Finally, we recommend monthly heartworm preventatives YEAR-ROUND, as these preventatives also contain ingredients to prevent intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and in some cases, whipworms and tapeworms. We typically recommend products like Interceptor PlusHeartgard and Trifexis. Talk to one of our veterinary team members to determine the best choice for your pet. Manufacturer rebates are often available for 6-12 month supply purchases. Below is a brief description of the common intestinal parasites we encounter in practice and will check your pet for with their routine fecal examinations: ROUNDWORMS Roundworms earned their name because of their tubular, or “round,” shape. There a couple of different species that can affect your pup, but the most important to know are Toxicaris canis and Toxicaris leonina. Dogs (and cats) can get roundworms from a variety of carriers. The most common source is other dogs; because infected dogs shed microscopic roundworm eggs in their feces, your dog could become infected by getting too close to another dog’s poop. He or she doesn’t even have to eat it – a simple sniff or lick is all that’s needed. Roundworms can also be spread by other animals such as rodents, earthworms, cockroaches, and birds. Roundworms can be transferred to humans. Contact with contaminated soil or dog feces can result in human ingestion and infection. Roundworm eggs may accumulate in significant numbers in the soil where pets deposit feces. Once infected, the worms can cause eye, lung, heart and neurologic signs in people. Children should not be allowed to play where animals have passed feces. Individuals who have direct contact with soil that may have been contaminated by cat or dog feces should wear gloves or wash their hands immediately. HOOKWORMS Hookworms are the second most common intestinal parasites found in dogs, and they are less commonly found in cats. Your pet can become infected when larvae get into the animal’s skin or the lining of the mouth, which may happen if your pet eats or rolls around in infected feces, for example. Cleaning up dog poop immediately can help prevent the spread of hookworms, and some heartworm preventatives are also effective against other parasites like hookworms. Once inside an animal, hookworms actually bite into the intestinal lining and suck blood, and infections can result in potentially life-threatening blood loss, weakness, and malnutrition. Plus, hookworm infections are zoonotic, and can be passed to people. In humans, the larvae produce severe itching and tunnel-like, red areas as they move through the skin and can cause intestinal problems if eaten. WHIPWORMS The whipworm is one of the four most common intestinal parasites of dogs. Whipworms reside in the cecum, which is inside your dog’s body where the small intestine and large intestine meet. Dogs become infected with whipworms by swallowing infective whipworm eggs in soil or other substances that may contain dog feces. Dogs that are infected with a few whipworms may not have any signs of infection. More severe infections can cause bloody diarrhea and severe disease. TAPEWORMS Tapeworms get their name from the fact that they look like — you guessed it — tape. The body of the tapeworm is segmented up to its neck. Its mouth is filled with six sets of teeth that the parasite uses to attach itself to the intestinal lining. Once it’s attached, it moves in permanently and starts stealing its meals from your pooch. Tapeworms are usually transmitted when a dog digests a flea during grooming. Dogs can also get tapeworms by ingesting the eggs shed by other animals or by hunting flea-infested rodents. GIARDIA Giardia is a microscopic, protozoan parasite (but not a worm!) that causes inflammation of the intestinal tract and subsequent diarrhea that can be very serious for both pets and people. It has been referred to as backpackers’ disease because of the risk of exposure when hiking. Giardia is transmitted by oral ingestion of water or food that has been contaminated by stools of infected people and animals. Acute infection after exposure can last from 1-2 weeks. The clinical signs of Giardia in animals and people are very similar and may include:  Diarrhea  Gas  Greasy stools that tend to float  Stomach or abdominal cramps  Upset stomach or nausea/vomiting  Dehydration (loss of fluids) and weight loss COCCIDIA Coccidiosis is a disease caused by the tiny, single-cell pests, coccidia. These parasites can live in the wall of your dog’s intestines. They are most common in puppies, but can still infect older dogs and cats, as well. Our canine friends can become infected by swallowing dirt or other things in an environment that is contaminated with coccidia- infected feces. If your dog is infected with coccidia, the symptoms can vary. In adult dogs, there may be no signs of infection, while in puppies the symptoms can be more serious. The most common symptom is diarrhea; in severe situations, the diarrhea can be accompanied by blood in the stool. If you have any questions or concerns about intestinal parasites and your pet, please speak to one of our team members! If your pet has diarrhea or you’d like to have their fecal sample checked for parasites, check out our blog on info and tips for collecting and submitting a sample!]]> 4125 0 0 0 <![CDATA[Flea & Tick Prevention in Kittens]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=4129 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=4129 All cats in the St. Louis area are at risk for fleas, the most common external parasite of cats. If frequenting areas with tall grass and a lot of trees, your cat also will be exposed to ticks. Fleas can not only cause extreme itching and skin disease in your pets, but they can also carry tapeworms (intestinal parasites). Pets can bring fleas into your home, causing problems for your entire household! You can read more about those pesky free loaders here. Ticks can also carry serious diseases in pets and people, including Ehrlichia, Lyme disease and Anaplasmosis. Again, pets can carry ticks into your home, where they could re-attach to people, so prevention is best for everyone! For more information about ticks and diseases they may carry, visit this link. We offer several flea and tick preventatives to keep your pet covered year round. Preventatives are based off of weight, so as kittens we recommend only buying one or two doses at a time until full grown in order to ensure your kittens gets the correct dose as they grow. All new kittens are sent home with a complimentary dose of Nexgard, a once-monthly, oral chewable flea and tick preventative and is a great product to continue lifelong. Have trouble remembering to give that monthly pill? Bravecto may be for you once your cat is grown. Bravecto is a chewable oral flea and tick preventative that lasts for 12 weeks. We even remind you when it’s time to get your next dose! However, Bravecto is only labeled for 8 weeks for one of the tick species (lone star tick). If your pet has a high exposure to ticks, Bravecto may not be the best choice as the lone star tick can carry tick borne diseases. While we prefer oral preventatives for their ease of administration, in some cases topical preventatives may be recommended instead (i.e. pets with food allergies/sensitivities or reactions to other preventatives). We carry Frontline and Revolution for those pets who the chewable preventatives are not an option for. Can’t make it into the clinic to pick up your preventatives? All of our preventatives can also be found on our online pharmacy and shipped directly to your door!]]> 4129 0 0 0 <![CDATA[New Kitten Essentials!]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=4132 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=4132
    Bringing home a new kitten means bringing home a lot of new supplies, too!
    Here is our checklist for everything you’ll need to get your kitten off to a great start! Everything on this list has been owned and tested by our doctor and staff for our own kittens.
     
    Note: these products are listed on Amazon for your convenience! There is no added cost for you to shop these links, and we may earn a small percentage from your purchase. All proceeds will be donated to our Lucky Pet Fund, which helps pay for care for patients in restricted financial situations and emergencies.
     
    Bowls:
    While any food or water bowl will do, we recommend staying away from plastic bowls. These tend to harbor more bacteria, food residue and smells, and can be harder to clean long term. Stick with stainless steel, ceramic or glass (if your pet can be trusted!).
     
    Taking your food and water game to the next level? If you’d like to keep your pet on a strict schedule and measured feedings, you may want to consider an automatic programmable feeder like this one.You can also try a water fountain to keep the water fresh and circulating-we like this one and can even go in the dishwasher.
     
    If you’ve got a fast eater who inhaled their food, puzzle bowls are great ways to slow them down and prevent food bloat. We’ve tried these and these.
     
    Collar:
    Even if your pet spends most of their time indoors, it’s important to keep a collar on them for safety and identification purposes. Bonus points if it’s got reflective elements for seeing your pet in the yard during those late night potty breaks! We like Martingale-style collars like this one since these help prevent your pet pulling out of their collar. Of course, your pet should always wear their identification tags as well, like one with your contact info, their rabies tag and their microchip tag. Hate the sound of jingling tags? Check out this tag silencer. Dr. DeWilde found it priceless when her new baby arrived and the cat shaking her tags couldn’t wake him up any longer!
     
    Leash:
    Under no circumstance should you get a retractable leash! We see many injuries each year due to these leashes- whether secondary to the small diameter cord or more often, to the leash breaking or not being strong enough to prevent a cat from pulling away and getting into traffic or a cat fight. Please avoid them at all costs! Look instead for a wide, flat leash with a sturdy collar hook and a comfortable handle like this one.
     
    Note: if you’d like to use a harness with your pet, we recommend a soft, wide, easy to put on harnesses like those by the Puppia brand. If you’re using a harness to teach your dog not to pull on a leash or walk/heel better, we recommend the Easy Walk harness or a Gentle Leader.
     
    Wire Crate: 
    Crate training is an important part of keeping your puppy safe, and giving them a safe place. We like this one, though there are many. Look for chew-resistant bedding (avoid soft towels and comforters that can be easily ripped apart by sharp kitten teeth) like this crate pad.
     
    Gate:
    While crate training is great for when you leave the home or are sleeping, you may also run into the need to keep your kitten out of certain areas of your home, like stairs, kids rooms, or even just confine them to the kitchen during the litterbox training process. Several of us have used this gate, and we like it because the door is easy to walk through (rather than taking down and/or trying to jump over it every time), and the cat door at the bottom makes it perfect for multi-pet houses. This allows you to keep a room open for your cats to escape to and a great way to keep dogs out of litterboxes!
     
    Chew Toys:
    Plan to invest in a variety of chew toys your puppy’s first year! You’ll want to provide different textures and shapes, and also rotate them out to keep your puppy interested. Trusted and tough brands are Kong and Petsafe. Soft/fluffy toys and toys with squeakers should only be given under direct supervision so that your puppy doesn’t ingest any of the contents if they’re able to tear them apart! Here are some of our favorites:
     
    Grooming Essentials:
    Get your pet used to a grooming routine early! You should only bathe your pet in a dog-specific shampoo, never human shampoo as it is far too drying. Oatmeal based shampoos like this are best and very gentle for even young puppies. A gentle, rubber tipped brush should be used for puppies. We like this gentle massager/brush for puppies and adults alike! It’s also important to start working with your pet’s feet and nails right away. Play with their feet daily, and start trimming their nails (even just one a day!) to get them used to this lifelong basic maintenance. We use these nail clippers here at the hospital!
     
    Bedding:
    In addition to their crate, you may want to offer your pet a soft bed elsewhere in your house. This is a great way to give them their own space and safe spot in your living areas. While your pet bed will depend on your pet’s size, puppies often like the beds with raised sides that they can really snuggle up in (and look even more adorable).
     
    Keeping Your House Intact:
    It’s inevitable, and understandable, that your pet may have an accident in your house. Use an enzymatic cleaner like Nature’s Miracle to break up the smell and prevent pets from returning to this spot. To keep pet’s from licking or chewing on items in your home like cords or furniture, try the Bitter Apple spray as a deterrent.
     
    Hopefully this gives you a good start on products we recommend and trust for your kitten. There are lots to choose from, and we’re always here to help give you help and guidance at any time.

The clinical signs of Giardia in animals and people are very similar and may include:  Diarrhea  Gas  Greasy stools that tend to float  Stomach or abdominal cramps  Upset stomach or nausea/vomiting  Dehydration (loss of fluids) and weight loss COCCIDIA Coccidiosis is a disease caused by the tiny, single-cell pests, coccidia. These parasites can live in the wall of your dog’s intestines. They are most common in puppies, but can still infect older dogs and cats, as well. Our canine friends can become infected byswallowing dirt or other things in an environment that is contaminated with coccidia- infected feces. If your dog is infected with coccidia, the symptoms can vary. In adult dogs, there may be no signs of infection, while in puppies the symptoms can be more serious. The most common symptom is diarrhea; in severe situations, the diarrhea can be accompanied by blood in the stool.

With so many options available, it may seem overwhelming to pick the best diet for your pet. Each pet’s nutritional requirements are unique based on their age, activity level, lifestyle, and any existing medical conditions. The veterinarians at Brentwood Animal Hospital recommend completely balanced diets which are formulated by veterinary nutritionists, have undergone extensive food-trial safety testing, and verified by AAFCO (Association of Animal Feed Control Officials). Proper nutrition is vital in supporting healthy development of growing puppies and kitten. During stages of growth, puppies require a different balance of vitamins and minerals in comparison to adult animals. In general, we recommend feeding puppies a diet made for growth for the first full year of life. However, a veterinarian can make specific suggestions based on the individual needs of your pet. Below are a few suggestions of balanced diets formulated by nutritionists and have undergone extensive safety testing:
    1.       Purina Pro-Plan puppy
    2.       Hill’s Science Diet
    3.        Royal Canin
    4.       Eukanuba
    This list of recommendations does not encompass all the appropriate diets available for your pet. Each pet is unique and may require additional considerations. In some cases, home-made diets are desired. These diets should be formulated specifically for each individual pet by a certified veterinary nutritionist to ensure that they are completely balanced and meet the required standards of vitamin and mineral balance. Dog and cat foods are constantly evolving and changing. New dietary options are available weekly and choosing the proper diet may feel like a difficult decision. The staff and veterinarians at Brentwood Animal Hospital would be happy to assist you in making the proper choice for your pet. Please do not hesitate to contact us with your questions and concerns.  ]]>

    <![CDATA[Ear Cleaning for Puppies]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/2018/09/25/ear-cleaning-for-puppies/ Tue, 25 Sep 2018 03:50:18 +0000 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=3992 Cleaning your puppy’s ears is an important step of grooming. Anytime your puppy gets wet from bathing or swimming, their ears should be cleaned afterwards to prevent infection as yeast and bacteria thrive in dark, moist environments. Any over the counter, alcohol-based cleaner from the pet store will do, and we carry Epi-Otic ear cleaner that can be purchased over-the-counter at any time. The alcohol base will help get rid of any residual moisture. A medicated cleaner from the veterinarian may be necessary in some cases of infection or recurrent infections. Feel free to ask our veterinarians for a recommendation at any time. The best time to start acclimating your puppy to having its ears cleaned are while they are young. Start by simply handling their ears by petting them, lifting the ear flap, and gently sticking your finger in the canal entrance. Once your puppy becomes comfortable with having its ears handled, you can start cleaning them by pouring the ear cleaner on a cotton ball and wiping the ear canal as far down as you can comfortably reach. Continue to wipe out the ear with additional cotton balls until little to no debris is seen. Q-tips are only recommended to clean out the small crevices at the top of the canal where you can visually see- do not stick q-tips down your dog’s ear canal. It is important to provide positive reinforcement such as high reward treats during and after these sessions to encourage your puppy to view ear cleanings as a positive experience. Please watch our Facebbook video on ear cleanings for a full demonstration, or ask our technicians to demonstrate on your pet anytime! ]]> 3992 0 0 0 <![CDATA[Flea & Tick Prevention in Puppies]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/2018/09/25/flea-tick-prevention-in-puppies/ Tue, 25 Sep 2018 03:48:41 +0000 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=3994 All dogs in the St. Louis area are at risk for fleas, the most common external parasite of dogs. If frequenting areas with tall grass and a lot of trees, your dog also will be exposed to ticks. Fleas can not only cause extreme itching and skin disease in your pets, but they can also carry tapeworms (intestinal parasites). Pets can bring fleas into your home, causing problems for your entire household! You can read more about those pesky free loaders here. Ticks can also carry serious diseases in pets and people, including Ehrlichia, Lyme disease and Anaplasmosis. Again, pets can carry ticks into your home, where they could re-attach to people, so prevention is best for everyone! For more information about ticks and diseases they may carry, visit this link. We offer several flea and tick preventatives to keep your pet covered year round. Preventatives are based off of weight, so as puppies we recommend only buying one or two doses at a time until full grown in order to ensure your puppy gets the correct dose as they grow. All new puppies are sent home with a complimentary dose of Nexgard, a once-monthly, oral chewable flea and tick preventative and is a great product to continue lifelong. Have trouble remembering to give that monthly pill? Bravecto may be for you once your dog is grown. Bravecto is a chewable oral flea and tick preventative that lasts for 12 weeks. We even remind you when it’s time to get your next dose! However, Bravecto is only labeled for 8 weeks for one of the tick species (lone star tick). If your pet has a high exposure to ticks, Bravecto may not be the best choice as the lone star tick can carry tick borne diseases. While we prefer oral preventatives for their ease of administration, in some cases topical preventatives may be recommended instead (i.e. pets with food allergies/sensitivities or reactions to other preventatives). We carry Frontline and Revolution for those pets who the chewable preventatives are not an option for. Can’t make it into the clinic to pick up your preventatives? All of our preventatives can also be found on our online pharmacy and shipped directly to your door!  ]]> 3994 0 0 0 <![CDATA[Heartworm Prevention in Puppies]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/2018/09/25/heartworm-prevention-in-puppies/ Tue, 25 Sep 2018 03:44:27 +0000 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=3996 All dogs are exposed to mosquitos that can carry heartworm disease. Heartworm disease is a serious, and potentially fatal, disease that can infect dogs of any age. It is caused by foot-long worms (heartworms) that live in the heart, lungs and associated blood vessels of affected pets, causing severe lung disease, heart failure and damage to other organs in the body. Heartworm disease affects dogs, cats and ferrets, but heartworms also live in other mammal species, including wolves, coyotes, and foxes. Because wild species such as foxes and coyotes live in proximity to many urban areas here in St. Louis, they are considered important carriers of the disease. For more information about heartworm disease, check out the resources at the American Heartworm Society. St. Louis dogs are at significant risk for heartworm disease and we treat several dogs each year. Treatment is extensive, painful and costly, and much easier to prevent! We recommend keeping your pet on preventatives, like Interceptor Plus, Heartgard or ProHeart 6 year round. All puppies are sent home with a complimentary dose of Interceptor Plus- a monthly, oral chewable heartworm and intestinal parasite preventative. We have chosen Interceptor Plus as our go-to for most patients, because it is the most comprehensive product for heartworm and intestinal parasites- it covers two more additional intestinal parasites than other preventatives like Heartgard. It gives your pet protection against heartworm disease, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and tapeworms. However, we will work with you to determine the best lifelong prevention based on your pet’s lifestyle, risk assessment, taste preferences and convenience options you might choose. Have trouble remembering to give that monthly pill? We also offer Proheart 6- an injectable heartworm preventative that lasts 6 months for adult patients. We even remind you when it’s time to come in for the next injection! While Proheart 6 does not have a monthly intestinal parasite preventative in it, we do send home a broad spectrum dewormer to be given every 3 months (don’t worry, we remind you when to give it too!). In some cases, oral preventatives may not recommended for your pet (i.e. those with a food allergy or reaction to oral preventatives). For those pets, we recommend Revolution- a monthly topical heartworm, flea, and intestinal parasite preventative. NOTE: Revolution does NOT cover ticks and additional preventatives may be necessary. Can’t make it into the clinic to pick up your preventatives? All of our preventatives can also be found on our online pharmacy and shipped directly to your door!]]> 3996 0 0 0 <![CDATA[What You Need To Know About Spaying Your Dog]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/2018/09/25/what-you-need-to-know-about-spaying-your-dog/ Tue, 25 Sep 2018 03:33:44 +0000 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=3998 What is ovariohysterectomy (spay)? Ovariohysterectomy (spay) is a surgical procedure where a veterinarian removes the entire ovaries and uterus. This causes sterilization of a female dog. There is a procedure that only removes the ovaries, however this is only done at specialty clinics and is not offered at Brentwood Animal Hospital. Should I elect for an ovariohysterectomy on my dog? The veterinarians at Brentwood Animal Hospital recommend spaying all female dogs. There are several benefits to the procedure – medical, behavioral and for society. Medically it reduces the risk of mammary, uterine, and ovarian cancer, decreases the risk of a life-threatening uterus infections (pyometra), and prevents heat (estrus) cycles. Sterilized (spayed) females live longer lives than unaltered females. Behaviorally it decreases the impulse to escape and find a mate and decreases the risk of having an anxious dog. Altering a dog significantly helps with pet population, decreasing the number of dogs roaming the streets without proper care or homes. Risks and Side Effects Our recommendation at Brentwood Animal Hospital is to spay your female dog because the benefits of ovariohysterectomy greatly outweigh the risks associated with the procedure. Risks include:
    • Any surgical procedure has small risks associated with anesthesia, bleeding and infection. Here at Brentwood Animal Hospital there are highly trained registered veterinary technicians that will monitor our patients throughout the entire procedure. They will be monitoring the heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, carbon output, blood pressure, and more during the entire procedure. Our AAHA-accredited hospital has a state-of-the art surgical suite and utilizes the highest standards in sterilization, significantly decreasing the risk of bleeding and infection.
    • Spaying your dog will decrease their metabolism, increasing the possibility of obesity. However, we recommend monitoring their food consumption more closely after his procedure. Regulating your dog’s caloric intake will prevent the risk of obesity.
    • Spaying large breed dogs before bone development is complete has been shown to have increased risk of cruciate (ACL ligament) tears and hip dysplasia along with other bone deformations. There is a newer study showing that waiting until 1 year decreases these risks. Our opinion here at Brentwood is that this study was not large enough nor conclusive enough to outweigh the risk of mammary cancer development after one estrus cycle. Therefore, we recommend spaying your dog at about six months of age or before their first heat. Based on your patient’s breed and history, our veterinarians will provide your pet with a customized recommendation.
    • Spaying your dog does increase the risk of urinary incontinence in a small number of patients, typically seen in middle-aged and older females. Even if it does occur, this can be medically managed and less of a risk than cancer.
    When should I spay my dog? We recommend spaying most females at about six months of age. There is a newer study showing that waiting until 1 year decreases bone and vulva abnormalities. Our opinion here at Brentwood is that this study was not large enough nor conclusive enough to outweigh the risk of mammary cancer development after one estrus cycle. Pending other factors, our veterinarians will discuss if your dog may benefit from waiting until they are older. If you have questions, please let us know.   How is the procedure performed? Your dog will be dropped off the morning of the procedure, fasting for a minimum of 8 hours. The veterinarian performing the procedure will examine your dog and evaluate their pre-anesthetic blood panel. If everything is normal, your dog will receive an injection (pre-anesthetic) that makes them sleepy and helps with pain. We will place an intravenous catheter, so we can administer fluids during the procedure and have an open port for emergency medication if needed. A breathing tube will then be placed to protect her airway and allow for anesthetic gas and oxygen to be administered during the procedure. The surgery consists of making a small incision into the abdominal wall and then the veterinarian will remove the uterus and both ovaries. Your dog may have a few skin stitches or absorbable stitches depending on what the veterinarian believes is best for her. The veterinary technician will then monitor the patient as they wake up and remove the air tube when appropriate. We keep your pet in the treatment area to make sure they are monitored for the remainder of the day while they are here. We allow our patients to go home the same day, so they can be monitored overnight and be in the comfort of their own environment.   Post-operative Care The hardest part of recovery is trying to keep your dog calm for the 10-14 after the procedure. They will be sent home with either a collar or shirt to prevent them from reaching the surgical site and causing trauma to the area. They will also be sent home with pain medication. There should be no running, jumping, stairs, swimming, and bathing during recovery time. They should only be allowed outdoors on a leash and no long walks.]]>

    Here is our checklist for everything you’ll need to get your puppy off to a great start! Everything on this list has been owned and tested by our doctor and staff for our own pups.
    Note: these products are listed on Amazon for your convenience! There is no added cost for you to shop these links, and we may earn a small percentage from your purchase. All proceeds will be donated to our Lucky Pet Fund, which helps pay for care for patients in restricted financial situations and emergencies.
    Bowls:
    While any food or water bowl will do, we recommend staying away from plastic bowls. These tend to harbor more bacteria, food residue and smells, and can be harder to clean long term. Stick with stainless steel, ceramic or glass (if your pet can be trusted!).
    Taking your food and water game to the next level? If you'd like to keep your pet on a strict schedule and measured feedings, you may want to consider an automatic programmable feeder like this one. You can also try a water fountain to keep the water fresh and circulating-we like this one and can even go in the dishwasher.
    If you’ve got a fast eater who inhaled their food, puzzle bowls are great ways to slow them down and prevent food bloat. We've tried these and these.
    Collar:
    Even if your pet spends most of their time indoors, it’s important to keep a collar on them for safety and identification purposes. Bonus points if it’s got reflective elements for seeing your pet in the yard during those late night potty breaks! We like Martingale-style collars like this one since these help prevent your pet pulling out of their collar. Of course, your pet should always wear their identification tags as well, like one with your contact info, their rabies tag and their microchip tag. Hate the sound of jingling tags? Check out this tag silencer. Dr. DeWilde found it priceless when her new baby arrived and the dog shaking her tags couldn’t wake him up any longer!
    Leash:
    Under no circumstance should you get a retractable leash! We see many injuries each year due to these leashes- whether secondary to the small diameter cord or more often, to the leash breaking or not being strong enough to prevent a dog from pulling away and getting into traffic or a dog fight. Please avoid them at all costs! Look instead for a wide, flat leash with a sturdy collar hook and a comfortable handle like this one.
    Note: if you'd like to use a harness with your pet, we recommend a soft, wide, easy to put on harnesses like those by the Puppia brand. If you're using a harness to teach your dog not to pull on a leash or walk/heel better, we recommend the Easy Walk harness or a Gentle Leader.
    Wire Crate: 
    Crate training is an important part of keeping your puppy safe, and giving them a safe place. We like this one, though there are many. Look for chew-resistant bedding (avoid soft towels and comforters that can be easily ripped apart by sharp puppy teeth) like this crate pad.
    Puppy Gate:
    While crate training is great for when you leave the home or are sleeping, you may also run into the need to keep your puppy out of certain areas of your home, like stairs, kids rooms, or even just confine them to the kitchen during the potty training process. Several of us have used this gate, and we like it because the door is easy to walk through (rather than taking down and/or trying to jump over it every time), and the cat door at the bottom makes it perfect for multi-pet houses. This allows you to keep a room open for your cats to escape to and a great way to keep dogs out of litterboxes!
    Chew Toys:
    Plan to invest in a variety of chew toys your puppy's first year! You'll want to provide different textures and shapes, and also rotate them out to keep your puppy interested. Trusted and tough brands are Kong and Petsafe. Soft/fluffy toys and toys with squeakers should only be given under direct supervision so that your puppy doesn't ingest any of the contents if they're able to tear them apart! Here are some of our favorites:
    PetSafe Busy Buddy Bristle Bone Dog Toy (refill rings here)
    PetSafe Busy Buddy Kibble Nibble Meal Dispensing Dog Toy
    PetSafe Twist 'n Treat Dog Toy, Use with Food or Treats
    PetSafe Busy Buddy Chuckle Dog Toy
    KONG Classic Dog Toy
    KONG Scrunch Knots Squirrel Dog Toy
    KONG Snugga Wubba Dog Toy (great for the very baby pups!)
    Grooming Essentials:
    Get your pet used to a grooming routine early! You should only bathe your pet in a dog-specific shampoo, never human shampoo as it is far too drying. Oatmeal based shampoos like this are best and very gentle for even young puppies. A gentle, rubber tipped brush should be used for puppies. We like this gentle massager/brush for puppies and adults alike! It's also important to start working with your pet's feet and nails right away. Play with their feet daily, and start trimming their nails (even just one a day!) to get them used to this lifelong basic maintenance. We use these nail clippers here at the hospital!
    Bedding:
    In addition to their crate, you may want to offer your pet a soft bed elsewhere in your house. This is a great way to give them their own space and safe spot in your living areas. While your pet bed will depend on your pet's size, puppies often like the beds with raised sides that they can really snuggle up in (and look even more adorable).
    Keeping Your House Intact:
    It's inevitable, and understandable, that your pet may have an accident in your house. Use an enzymatic cleaner like Nature's Miracle to break up the smell and prevent pets from returning to this spot. To keep pet's from licking or chewing on items in your home like cords or furniture, try the Bitter Apple spray as a deterrent.
    Hopefully this gives you a good start on products we recommend and trust for your puppy. There are lots to choose from, and we're always here to help give you help and guidance any time.

The decision to enroll in pet insurance is up to the pet owner, and can be very personal depending on desired coverage and budget. We strongly recommend pet insurance especially for high-maintenance breeds like pugs, English bulldogs, cocker spaniels, and very large breeds. When considering pet insurance, it’s important to determine if your coverage is for simply treating problems when they arise or if it also offers preventative care coverage (like prophylactic dental cleanings and blood work screenings). You should be aware of reimbursement vs direct payment options, what the claim process entails, and what deductibles are a part of your pet’s plan. Trusted insurance companies are Trupanion, Nationwide and Embrace. Trupanion has extended a special free 30 days for our new puppies, and we will email you with an enrollment certificate after your first visit. If you have questions about pet insurance, please let us know!

    <![CDATA[Kitten Litterboxes: Do’s & Don’t’s]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/2019/03/05/kitten-litterboxes-dos-donts/ Tue, 05 Mar 2019 16:49:35 +0000 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=4087 Cats are naturally very clean and chances are your kitten will already have learned how to use the litter box from her mother before joining your home. Here are a few do’s and don’ts to help make sure this is an easy transition for you both! To start,
    • Buy a litterbox big enough for your kitten to move around in
    • Fill it with enough litter to cover the bottom of the tray
    • Remember that accidents will happen, and avoid punishing your kitten.
    • Praise your kitten when they do use the litterbox and offer small rewards (like a training treat or piece of their kibble) for using it.
    BEGINNING LITTER BOX TRAINING As a general rule, you should have one litter box more than the number of cats in the house. As an example, a two-cat household should have three litterboxes. This ensures everyone has access when they need it, plus gives cats a choice in location, type, etc. As soon as you bring your kitten home, show them where the litterboxes are located. Watch them closely, and be sure to put them in or near the box after meals if you see behaviors like sniffing around, crouching, or behaving like they need to go. LITTER BOX DOS AND DON'TS Do:
    • Put litter boxes in quiet, calm locations that are easy for your kitten to reach, away from noisy household appliances
    • Place your kitten's litter box away from his or her bed and in a spot that's reasonably private
    • Empty the tray regularly — your kitten will not want to use it if it's "dirty."
    • Scoop out your kitten's litter boxes daily and change the litter as needed
    Don't:
    • Use disinfectants and bleach to clean the litter box. Some disinfectants are toxic to cats, so it's best to only use hot water and detergent
    • Attempt to clean the litter box if you are pregnant. Have someone else clean out the tray. If you must clean the litter box yourself, make sure you wear rubber gloves and wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. Thoroughly cleanse the litter box daily. This will minimize the risk of toxoplasmosis, which although very rare, can cause serious problems to unborn babies.
    MAKING ADJUSTMENTS If your kitten won't use the litter boxes provided, you may need to make them more appealing. Consider switching to another type of litter, providing litter boxes with lower sides, adding or removing covers to the boxes, moving them to quieter areas, discontinuing the use of deodorants, or cleaning them more frequently. Some kittens will stop using the litter boxes when they have a urinary infection, so please let us know if your kitten is exhibiting this behavior! Hopefully these tips have helped get your kitten off to a great start. Remember, we’re always here for you and your four-legged family members, so if have any questions, don’t hesitate to call or email!

    <![CDATA[Kitten Nutrition]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/2019/03/06/kitten-nutrition/ Wed, 06 Mar 2019 21:37:45 +0000 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=4100   Choosing an appropriate food for your kitten is an important decision that can maintain and improve your pet’s lifelong health. With so many options available, it may seem overwhelming to pick the best diet for your pet. Each pet’s nutritional requirements are unique based on their age, activity level, lifestyle, and any existing medical conditions. The veterinarians at Brentwood Animal Hospital recommend completely balanced diets which are formulated by veterinary nutritionists, have undergone extensive food-trial safety testing, and verified by AAFCO (Association of Animal Feed Control Officials). Proper nutrition is vital in supporting healthy development of growing kittens. During stages of growth, kittens require a different balance of vitamins and minerals in comparison to adult animals. In general, we recommend feeding kittens a diet made for growth for the first full year of life. However, a veterinarian can make specific suggestions based on the individual needs of your pet. Below are a few suggestions of balanced diets formulated by nutritionists and have undergone extensive safety testing:
    1.       Purina Pro-Plan kitten
    2.       Hill’s Science Diet
    3.       Royal Canin
    This list of recommendations does not encompass all the appropriate diets available for your pet. Each pet is unique and may require additional considerations. In some cases, home-made diets are desired. These diets should be formulated specifically for each individual pet by a certified veterinary nutritionist to ensure that they are completely balanced and meet the required standards of vitamin and mineral balance. Dog and cat foods are constantly evolving and changing. New dietary options are available weekly and choosing the proper diet may feel like a difficult decision. The staff and veterinarians at Brentwood Animal Hospital would be happy to assist you in making the proper choice for your pet. Please do not hesitate to contact us with your questions and concerns.]]>

Cats are naturally very clean and chances are your kitten will already have learned how to use the litter box from her mother before joining your home. Here are a few do’s and don’ts to help make sure this is an easy transition for you both! To start,
    • Buy a litterbox big enough for your kitten to move around in
    • Fill it with enough litter to cover the bottom of the tray
    • Remember that accidents will happen, and avoid punishing your kitten.
    • Praise your kitten when they do use the litterbox and offer small rewards (like a training treat or piece of their kibble) for using it.
    BEGINNING LITTER BOX TRAINING As a general rule, you should have one litter box more than the number of cats in the house. As an example, a two-cat household should have three litterboxes. This ensures everyone has access when they need it, plus gives cats a choice in location, type, etc. As soon as you bring your kitten home, show them where the litterboxes are located. Watch them closely, and be sure to put them in or near the box after meals if you see behaviors like sniffing around, crouching, or behaving like they need to go. LITTER BOX DOS AND DON'TS Do:
    • Put litter boxes in quiet, calm locations that are easy for your kitten to reach, away from noisy household appliances
    • Place your kitten's litter box away from his or her bed and in a spot that's reasonably private
    • Empty the tray regularly — your kitten will not want to use it if it's "dirty."
    • Scoop out your kitten's litter boxes daily and change the litter as needed
    Don't:
    • Use disinfectants and bleach to clean the litter box. Some disinfectants are toxic to cats, so it's best to only use hot water and detergent
    • Attempt to clean the litter box if you are pregnant. Have someone else clean out the tray. If you must clean the litter box yourself, make sure you wear rubber gloves and wash your hands thoroughly afterward. Thoroughly cleanse the litter box daily. This will minimize the risk of toxoplasmosis, which although very rare, can cause serious problems to unborn babies.
    MAKING ADJUSTMENTS If your kitten won't use the litter boxes provided, you may need to make them more appealing. Consider switching to another type of litter, providing litter boxes with lower sides, adding or removing covers to the boxes, moving them to quieter areas, discontinuing the use of deodorants, or cleaning them more frequently. Some kittens will stop using the litter boxes when they have a urinary infection, so please let us know if your kitten is exhibiting this behavior! Hopefully, these tips have helped get your kitten off to a great start. Remember, we’re always here for you and your four-legged family members, so if have any questions, don’t hesitate to call or email.

The decision to enroll in pet insurance is up to the pet owner, and can be very personal depending on desired coverage and budget. We strongly recommend pet insurance especially for high-maintenance breeds like pugs, English bulldogs, cocker spaniels, and very large breeds. When considering pet insurance, it’s important to determine if your coverage is for simply treating problems when they arise or if it also offers preventative care coverage (like prophylactic dental cleanings and blood work screenings). You should be aware of reimbursement vs direct payment options, what the claim process entails, and what deductibles are a part of your pet’s plan. Trusted insurance companies are TrupanionNationwide and Embrace. Trupanion has extended a special free 30 days for our new puppies, and we will email you with an enrollment certificate after your first visit. If you have questions about pet insurance, please let us know!]]> 4151 0 0 0 <![CDATA[Spaying Your Cat]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/2019/03/07/spaying-your-cat/ Thu, 07 Mar 2019 21:12:47 +0000 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=4154 Spaying, or ovariohysterectomy, is a common surgical procedure which involves removing the uterus and ovaries from a female dog or cat. Spaying, performed under general anesthesia, is recommended for all females and is ideally performed prior to the first heat (estrus) cycle. This is an outpatient procedure and our patients are discharged the same afternoon. Benefits of spaying include greatly reducing the risk of mammary (breast) cancer, avoiding a life-threatening uterine infection known as pyometra, avoiding behavioral issues related to hormone cycling, minimizing reproductive tract diseases, and reducing pet over-population. Overall, this procedure will greatly improve your pet’s quality of life. For dogs, spaying is recommended around 6-7 months of age. In cats, it is recommended around 4 months of age. At Brentwood Animal Hospital, we take great care in our surgical preparation and monitoring. All patients are required to have a thorough physical exam, complete blood count, and chemistry organ function profile prior to general anesthesia. After these screening tests, a custom protocol is created for each patient, involving sedatives, gas anesthesia, anti-nausea medication, and pain management. Monitoring equipment is used to evaluate heart rate/rhythm, blood pressure, temperature, carbon dioxide levels, and oygen levels throughout the length of the procedure. IV fluids are also used to improve anesthetic recovery. Our AAHA-accredited hospital has a state-of-the art surgical suite and utilizes the highest standards in sterilization, significantly decreasing the risk of bleeding and infection. Although this is a common and routine procedure, it is still considered abdominal surgery. Most patients recover from anesthesia within 24 hours. However, we recommend restricting activity for at least 1 week after surgery in order to ensure appropriate healing. We offer a “onesie” or Medical Pet Shirt in order to protect the incision during the healing process. In some cases, an e-collar is also required. Post-operative pain medication is considered standard and is used after each procedure to ensure your pet is comfortable during their recovery period.   It is our pleasure answering any questions you may have regarding the procedures performed at Brentwood Animal Hospital. Please don’t hesitate to contact us by phone, email, or appointment with any concerns. ]]> 4154 0 0 0 <![CDATA[Kitten Vaccines: What We Vaccinate For and Why]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/2019/07/26/kitten-vaccines-what-we-vaccinate-for-and-why/ Fri, 26 Jul 2019 21:16:51 +0000 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=4168 VACCINATIONS

    Many serious diseases can be prevented with vaccinations. With nearly 74 million pet cats in the United States, your pet is likely to come in contact with an infectious disease at some point in their life. Even if your cat is indoors, he or she can be exposed to viruses carried in the air, in dust, or on clothing. In addition, we can never completely rule out the possibility of a door being left open or a cat getting out of your home accidentally. Vaccination is a safe and inexpensive protection against costly, and some cases, deadly diseases. Our veterinarians follow the guidelines set by the American Association of Feline Practitioners, and will work with you to determine which vaccines are needed to protect your pet based on their lifestyle, risk assessment and other health conditions.

    Here are the diseases our vaccination protocols will protect your cat against: 

    FELINE VIRAL RHINOTRACHEITIS (AKA Feline Herpesvirus-1)

    Feline herpesvirus is extremely contagious and infectious. It’s typically transmitted by bodily fluids (such as discharge from the nose or eyes) or by aerosolizing (like sneezing). Kittens with an incomplete immune system, or those who came from shelter environments with many cats around are at high risk for this disease. There is no cure for herpesvirus, leaving supportive care as the only option. Similar to herpes virus infections in humans, once a kitten is infected with a herpes virus, the virus will lay dormant throughout their lifetime until a cat is stressed and then clinical signs can flare up. 

    Feline herpesvirus most commonly affects the eyes, the respiratory tract and the gastrointestinal tract. The most common clinical signs seen from feline herpesvirus include sneezing, runny eyes, pink eyelids, lethargy, fever, reluctance to eat, increased respiratory effort and dehydration. 

    CALICIVIRUS

    Calicivirus is a type of highly contagious upper respiratory infection. It can cause a wide range of clinical signs, especially in immunosuppressed or very young kittens. Signs include nasal discharge, sneezing, lethargy, reluctance to eat, eye discharge, eye ulcers, dehydration and respiratory difficulties. Upper respiratory infections are more likely to occur under certain circumstances: crowded living conditions (e.g., shelters, catteries), unsanitary conditions (e.g., when poor disinfection or poor hygiene are allowed), or during times of exposure to affected cats where bodily fluids are being exchanged by contagious discharge from the eyes or nose (sneezing). 

    DISTEMPER (AKA Panleukopenia)

    Panleukopenia, also known as feline distemper, is an extremely contagious and deadly disease caused by a virus. The virus is spread through contact with an infected cat’s saliva, urine, blood, nasal discharge, or feces. There is no cure for panleukopenia and, without treatment, it has a high mortality rate. The most important fact to know about panleukopenia is, that it is preventable through vaccination.

    While cats of all ages can become infected with the distemper virus, kittens—especially those with a poor immune system or those who are unvaccinated—are at the greatest risk for this virus, which causes severe gastrointestinal symptoms.

    FELINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS 

    Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) causes a highly contagious and potentially fatal retroviral infection that weakens a cat’s immune system, making her susceptible to illness and secondary infection. Feline leukemia is a very common disease. It is often called the “friendly cat” disease as it is commonly spread from cat to cat through casual contact, such as grooming or sharing food or water. Feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) are among the most common infectious diseases in cats. 

    Cats and kittens with feline leukemia do not always appear sick! In the early stages of the disease, most cats show few signs; the only way to know for sure if they are infected is through a simple blood test. As the disease advances, the following symptoms may occur: weight loss, appetite loss, lethargy, pale gums, bad breath and oral disease, runny eyes and nose, and vomiting. 

    We recommend vaccinating all kittens for feline leukemia so they have an initial foundation of protection. However, we will determine future vaccinations based on your cat’s lifestyle and if they go outdoors after their first year. 

     RABIES

    Always fatal, rabies is a viral infection that affects your pet’s brain and central nervous system (CNS). Primarily spread through the bite of infected animals such as foxes, raccoons, bats, and skunks, rabies is a zoonotic infection that can affect all mammals, meaning it can be transmitted to humans. For this reason, rabies vaccination is required by law for all dogs and cats.

    <![CDATA[The Scoop on Poop: Intestinal Parasites in Kittens]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/2019/07/26/the-scoop-on-poop-intestinal-parasites-in-kittens/ Fri, 26 Jul 2019 21:22:43 +0000 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=4172 Your new kitten is full of cuddles, play, and adorableness….but based on their history, exposure prior to adoption, and their momma cat’s health, they may also be carrying parasites. Our job is to keep your your kitten as healthy as possible, but we also want to protect your family (two- and four- legged) from parasites and the symptoms they can cause. 

    Dogs and cats can become hosts to many intestinal parasites, some of which can cause serious symptoms and/or be transmitted to people. For this reason, we follow the CDC’s recommendation to deworm all new patients. We also recommend that all kittens have at least TWO negative fecal examinations over the course of their preventative care cycle to ensure that they are parasite free and none have been missed. 

    Finally, we recommend monthly heartworm preventatives YEAR-ROUND, as these preventatives also contain ingredients to prevent intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and in some cases, whipworms and tapeworms. 

    Below is a brief description of the common intestinal parasites we encounter in practice and will check your pet for with their routine fecal examinations: 

    ROUNDWORMS

    Roundworm infections are spread to kittens from their mother while nursing. Roundworms that are dormant in mother cats are activated by the hormones of pregnancy and the immature larvae enter the kittens during nursing. Since these worms are not yet reproducing, tests of stool samples will be negative early on. It is safest to assume that your kitten has been infected so regardless, our veterinarians will administer an oral dewormer multiple times during their first few visits. It is still recommended that you have your kitten’s poop tested for eggs 2-4 times during the first year of her life.

    HOOKWORMS

    Hookworms are the second most common intestinal parasites found in dogs, and they are less commonly found in cats. Your pet can become infected when larvae get into the animal’s skin or the lining of the mouth, which may happen if your pet eats or rolls around in infected feces, for example. Cleaning up any animal poop immediately can help prevent the spread of hookworms, and some heartworm preventatives are also effective against other parasites like hookworms.

    Once inside an animal, hookworms actually bite into the intestinal lining and suck blood, and infections can result in potentially life-threatening blood loss, weakness, and malnutrition. Plus, hookworm infections are zoonotic, and can be passed to people. In humans, the larvae produce severe itching and tunnel-like, red areas as they move through the skin and can cause intestinal problems if eaten.

    TAPEWORMS

    It is common for kittens to be infested with fleas. Fleas can be the intermediate host or method of transmission for tapeworms. Tapeworms are difficult to detect on routine laboratory evaluation, but fortunately they are easy to see in and on the stools or around the kitten’s rectum.  They resemble a grain of rice.  All of these parasites can impact your kitten and the best way to handle this risk is having your veterinarian deworm the kitten and test her regularly.

    GIARDIA

    Giardia is a microscopic, protozoan parasite (but not a worm!) that causes inflammation of the intestinal tract and subsequent diarrhea that can be very serious for both pets and people. It has been referred to as backpackers’ disease because of the risk of exposure when hiking. Giardia is transmitted by oral ingestion of water or food that has been contaminated by stools of infected people and animals. Acute infection after exposure can last from 1-2 weeks. The clinical signs of Giardia in animals and people are very similar and may include:

    • Diarrhea

    • Gas

    • Greasy stools that tend to float

    • Stomach or abdominal cramps

    • Upset stomach or nausea/vomiting

    • Dehydration (loss of fluids) and weight loss

    COCCIDIA

    Some intestinal parasites, like coccidia, are very tiny microscopic organisms. Cats become infected with coccidia if they eat the eggs in their environment or if they eat infected, smaller-prey animals. Surveys indicate that up to 36% of cats in North America have coccidial infections and that young animals are more likely to be infected and symptomatic, according to the Companion Animal Parasite Council. Given how common infections are along with the fact that some animals are asymptomatic even when they are shedding, if your kitten is sick and your veterinarian sees coccidia oocysts on a fecal test, they will still have to decide if the coccidia is the cause of the illness or just an incidental finding. If treatment is required, there are many oral medications that your veterinarian can prescribe for your cat.

    While this information can be a little on the gross side, it’s important to keep your cat healthy and parasite free. Using preventatives and checking fecal samples regularly can prevent unwanted symptoms, diseases, and spread to other pets and their people.

Post-operative pain medication is considered standard and is used after each procedure to ensure your pet is comfortable during their recovery period.   It is our pleasure answering any questions you may have regarding the procedures performed at Brentwood Animal Hospital. Please don’t hesitate to contact us by phone, email, or appointment with any concerns. ]]> 4180 0 0 0 <![CDATA[Kitten Nail Trims: Tips for Successful Nail Trims at Home]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/2019/08/21/kitten-nail-trims-tips-for-successful-nail-trims-at-home/ Wed, 21 Aug 2019 15:52:46 +0000 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=4192 Kitten Nail Trims: Tips for Successful Nail Trims at Home

    Trimming your cat’s nails regularly can help prevent injury to you, other pets and the kittens themselves, not to mention damage to your funiture! Here are our tips to get off to a good start with nail trimming at home. We’re always here for you and your cat if you need a demonstration or lesson in person, or simply don’t want to do this at home. 

     

    Nail Trimmers

    Make sure you have proper feline nail trimmers so your cat’s nails don’t splinter. We like these: 

     

    Frequency

    The frequency of nail trimming depends on your kittens lifestyle, but in general, shooting for twice monthly is a good timeframe. This will help your kitten get used to nail trims and also keep them from getting too long and sharp. 

     

    Starting nail trims as soon as 6-8 weeks of age is recommended to get them used to the procedure, even if you’re only able to do one paw at a time. 

     

    The Nail Trim Itself

    Start slow, offer breaks, and give them a high value treat with every nail trim: think feline greenies or other treats or canned cat food. Ideally fine a treat that they will ONLY get with their nail trim. 

     

    Provide a calm environment and positive reinforcement. 

     

    Nail trims are often best done with two people- one person holding the cat and providing treats, and the other trimming the nails. Elevating the cat onto a counter or table can make it easier for everyone, as does providing a yoga mat or towel to give the kitten a surface with good traction. Alternatively, you can try holding the kitten in your lap for the procedure. 

     

    Gently squeeze the kitten’s teo between the thumb and forefinger to expose their claw. Most cats have a light colored claw, and you can see the blood vessels and nerves that supply the nial as the pink part at the base of the nail (this is called the quick). Only clip the white part of the nail and leave a few mm between this and the start of the quick.

    <![CDATA[Choosing the Perfect Cat Carrier]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/2019/08/21/choosing-the-perfect-cat-carrier/ Wed, 21 Aug 2019 19:28:27 +0000 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=4195 All cat owners should have a cat carrier to safely transport their cat to and from the veterinarian, travel, and also to provide a safe place for the cat in the event of an illness or emergency. While there are many cat carriers on the market, we recommend a hard-shell carrier like this one. Ideal features are: 
    • Hard-shell carriers that can be easily cleaned and disinfected
    • Large enough for your full-grown cat
    • Both a top and front opening
    • Can be disassembled (e.g. the top half removed. This way your cat can remain in the bottom of a carrier during an exam, which can help them feel more secure)
      Tips for Acclimating Your Cat to the Carrier: 
    • When you first get the carrier, and again a few days before any anticipated, travel, get your cat carrier out and leave it in a location where your cat spends a lot of time.
    • Place soft, familiar bedding inside the carrier. Ideally, if your cat has a special bed or fabric that has your scent, this can help them feel more secure. You may also want to try wiping your carrier with a Feliway wipe and/or spraying the bedding with the Feliway calming pheromone spray
    • Place treats, toys and catnip inside the carrier to encourage them to enter it on their own. Don’t close them in on the first time they make it inside, and let them come in and out freely a few times before you transport them. 
      Transporting Your Cat in the Carrier
    • Although most cat carriers have a handle, cats actually do better when the carrier is held from underneath. Support and stabilize the carrier when lifting and moving it, holding it close to your body and keeping it level.
    • In the car, place the carrier in an area of minimal movement, such as on the floor behind the passenger seat. 
    • Minimize the cat’s view out of the carrier by covering it with a towel, leaving only one end open for ventilation. Our team will offer you a Feliway-sprayed towel to cover the carrier in the waiting room and exam room until time for their visit to help minimize the stress!

    <![CDATA[MONTHLY PREVENTATIVES AND YOUR PET]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/2021/01/29/monthly-preventatives-and-your-pet/ Fri, 29 Jan 2021 16:56:39 +0000 https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/?p=4276 As a veterinary practice, a large part of our focus is on preventative care for pets and educating owners on their options when it comes to picking a product to protect their pets from heartworms, fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites. As a pet owner, it can be hard to keep all of these products straight and which products cover what. This article will explain what we are preventing against and which products we recommend.

    HEARTWORMS: Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal disease that can occur when pets of any age are exposed to infected mosquitos. Heartworms, if contracted, will live in the heart, lungs, and associated blood vessels of infected pets and can cause severe lung damage, heart failure, and damage to other internal organs. Sometimes this damage is not reversible. Treatment for heartworm positive dogs is extensive, painful, costly, and spans several months. There is no approved treatment for cats. The cost of prevention is significantly cheaper than treatment, which is why we recommend keeping all dogs and cats on heartworm preventative year-round. 

    FLEAS: Fleas are the most common external parasites for pets and can cause severe itching, and skin disease. Fleas can also carry tapeworms (intestinal parasites). In severe cases, fleas can even cause a decrease in the total amount of red blood cells in the body (anemia), since they feed off your pet’s blood. Fleas can be carried into the home by one pet and cause issues for the whole family. Fleas are more commonly a problem during the warmer months, but often continue their life cycle indoors during the winter, so year-round prevention is recommended.

    TICKS: Ticks are also a common external parasite found on pets. Ticks carry many diseases, including Lyme, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma, in both pets and people. Ehrlichiosis is a tick-borne disease that is endemic to the state of Missouri. Ticks can be active in weather above 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Even in winter, occasional warm days occur; therefore, year-round prevention is recommended.

    INTESTINAL PARASITES: There are many types of intestinal parasites that can be picked up in the environment by your pet. Most of these parasites are transmitted through fecal-oral  contamination. These parasites can cause serious illness and can potentially be transmitted to humans. Common intestinal parasites include roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, giardia, and coccidia. Some of these are preventable with a monthly dewormer. 

    RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS: PROHEART: ProHeart is at the top of our list of recommended products for heartworm prevention for one simple reason - you don’t have to give it every month at home!  ProHeart is the only INJECTABLE product, given by your veterinarian, for the prevention of heartworm disease in dogs. This injection is 100% effective in preventing heartworm disease! ProHeart injections last either 6 months or 12 months, depending on which one is given. ProHeart 6 is approved for dogs 6 months of age or older and ProHeart 12 for dogs 12 months of age or older. ProHeart also protects against Hookworms (a common intestinal parasite). Since it does not protect against fleas or ticks, a flea and tick preventative, such as Nexgard or Bravecto, must be given as well. As an injectable, this product is safe for patients with food allergies. 

    SIMPARICA TRIO: Our next recommendation is Simparica Trio, a monthly chewable tablet. This amazing product is the first approved product for prevention of heartworms, fleas, ticks, and common intestinal parasites! It is the ONLY all-in-one product available for dogs 8 weeks of age or older. Simparica Trio offers protection against 5 different tick species. In addition, this chewable is safe for dogs with food allergies. 

    INTERCEPTOR PLUS: Interceptor Plus is a monthly chewable that prevents heartworms and common intestinal parasites, for dogs 8 weeks of age or older. Interceptor Plus is used in conjunction with a flea/tick preventative, such as Nexgard or Bravecto.

    NEXGARD: Nexgard is a monthly chewable preventative for fleas and ticks, for dogs 8 weeks of age or older and used in conjunction with a heartworm preventative. This product covers 4 tick species. 

    BRAVECTO: Bravecto is a chewable preventative for fleas and ticks that is given every 90 days for dogs 6 months of age or older and used in conjunction with a heartworm preventative. This product is safe for patients with food allergies. 

    REVOLUTION PLUS: Revolution Plus is a monthly all-in-one topical preventative that covers fleas, ticks, ear mites, heartworms, and common intestinal parasites for cats 8 weeks of age or older.

    Our goal is always to promote the best medicine possible for our patients. All of these products can be provided at our clinic, and all but ProHeart can also be found on our online pharmacy and delivered straight to your home. We hope this overview helps our clients understand the whywhat, and how of preventative care.

  • Has discharge from the eyes or nose, runny stool, or a gurgling stomach
  • Has an elevated or low temperature
  • Begins drooling, scratching at the ears, or sneezing
  • Starts tilting his or her head
  • Develops bald patches in his or her fur
  • Stops eating, appears overly quiet, or shows other abnormal behavior
  • In addition, your rabbit can benefit from regular dental checkups. We can help make sure problems with your rabbit’s teeth don’t turn into serious, potentially life-threatening conditions. We also strongly suggest that you have your rabbit spayed or neutered. Not only can rabbits potentially give birth once a month, but they can also have up to 14 babies at a time! Even in households with a single rabbit, spaying or neutering has plenty of benefits: It can protect your rabbit from several types of cancer and reduce or eliminate aggression, as well as other undesirable behavior, such as spraying, mounting, destructive chewing, and biting. Spaying or neutering will not change your rabbit’s personality. If you have any questions about how to best care for your rabbit, we’d be happy to discuss proper diet, housing, grooming, and even litterbox training.]]>

  • Yellow or brown buildup (tartar) on the teeth
  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Bad breath
  • Excessive drooling
  • Changes in eating or chewing habits
  • Pawing at the face
  • Loose teeth
  • Depression
  • Even if your dog or cat doesn’t have these symptoms, we recommend that you have a veterinarian evaluate your pet’s dental health at least once a year. Bacteria and food debris accumulate around the teeth and, if left unchecked, will lead to deterioration of the soft tissue and bone surrounding the teeth. This decay can result in irreversible periodontal disease, tooth loss, and possibly expensive oral surgery. Dental disease can also affect other organs in the body: Bacteria in the mouth can get into the bloodstream and cause serious infections in the kidneys, liver, lungs, and heart. If these problems aren’t caught and treated quickly enough, they can result in death. A physical exam combined with appropriate laboratory work can determine if infection in the mouth has spread. Schedule your pet’s dental exam today! We can also help show you how to brush your pet’s teeth and recommend foods and treats that will help combat plaque and tartar buildup.]]>

We will forward these radiographs to the OFA, where board-certified radiologists will evaluate and grade your dog’s hips for OFA certification. Correct positioning of your dog is essential for proper radiographic evaluation, so a general anesthetic is required to make the procedure less stressful for him or her.

    PennHIP Method:

    We can x-ray your dog’s hips using the PennHIP method for evaluating hip dysplasia in dogs, which can be performed much earlier (at 16 weeks of age) than OFA certification. Requiring a general anesthetic, it involves x-raying your dog’s hips in three different positions to measure how loose the joints are and determine the presence or likelihood of osteoarthritis. If you are a breeder, consider using this test to help you select good breeding candidates at a younger age. If your dog competes athletically, consider using this technique to evaluate the future soundness of your dogs or puppies.

    • Grease the pill with a very small amount of margarine or butter so that it doesn’t stick in the pets mouth or throat.
    • Hold the pill between your thumb and index finger (use your dominant hand – for example, if you are right handed, use your right hand).
    • Gently grasp your dog’s muzzle from above with your other hand, by placing your thumb on one side and your fingers on the other side behind the canine teeth.
    • Once you have a firm but gentle hold tilt your dog’s head toward the ceiling. The lower jaw will usually drop. If not, open the mouth by placing the last two fingers of your hand holding the pill between the two lower canine teeth.
    • Quickly place the pill as far back over the tongue as possible. The pill is most likely to be swallowed if you place it beyond the hump of the tongue at the back of the mouth. Try not to place your hand too far back to avoid stimulating a gag reflex.
    • Close the dog’s mouth and hold it closed while you return the head to a normal position.
    • Gently rub the dog’s nose or throat, or blow lightly on the dog’s nose. This should stimulate swallowing.
    • Make sure that you have carefully read the label and understand the dosing instructions.
    • The easiest way to give a pill is to hide it in a small amount of canned dog food, peanut butter or cheez whiz.
    • Some dogs may spit out the pill, so it is important to monitor this activity.
    • If your dog persists in spitting out the pills or if dietary restrictions prevent you from hiding the pills in an appealing treat, you will need to administer the pill directly into the dog’s mouth.
    • The dog will be the most cooperative if the procedure is performed quickly, in one smooth motion.
    • Make sure you give your dog plenty of praise throughout the procedure and offer a treat or extra playtime after giving the medication. This will make the experience more positive and will make it easier to give the medication the next time.

    • Make sure you have carefully read the label and understand the dosing instructions.
    • Hold the bottle using your thumb and index finger.
    • Use the last two fingers of the same hand to pull back the upper eyelid. Place your remaining fingers under the cat’s jaw to support the head. The lower eyelid will act as a pouch to receive the drops.
    • Hold the bottle close to the eye but ensure you DO NOT touch the eye’s surface.
    • Squeeze the prescribed number of drops onto the eyeball, aiming for the center of the eye, and then release the head.
    • The cat will blink, spreading the medication over the surface of the eye.

    • Teaching your cat to accept brushing will take some training, but will be very beneficial to the cat once he is accustomed to the process. Daily brushing is most beneficial and will help to establish a routine for your pet, but brushing twice a week is acceptable if your schedule can’t accommodate daily brushing.
    • Choose a quiet time and place to start the brushing.
    • It is best to teach your cat to accept brushing while he or she is still a kitten. If you have an older cat, the process may take a little longer.
    • Hold your cat securely in your lap.
    • Start by rubbing your finger or a soft cloth over the cat’s teeth in a back-and-forth motion. Be careful to stay on the outsides of the cheek teeth to avoid being bitten by accident.
    • Once the cat is comfortable with this, you may try letting him or her taste a little bit of toothpaste from your finger. Pet toothpaste is recommended and is very appetizing to most cats and may make brushing more enjoyable for them. Human toothpaste should not be used as it can result in your cat having an upset stomach.
    • Once the cat has accepted the taste of the toothpaste, apply a small amount to a toothbrush and begin by placing your free hand over your cat’s head with your thumb and index finger on opposite sides of your cat’s upper jaw. Gently raise your cat’s lip on one side and begin by brushing one or two cheek teeth. A human inter-dental toothbrush works well for most cats. With this type of toothbrush, it should be placed right along the gum-line and used in a straight back-and-forth motion. Start from the back and work toward the midline of the jaw. In order to brush the lower teeth, this requires opening your cat’s mouth just a little. This can be done by gently tilting your cat’s head backward while holding onto his or her upper jaw with your thumb and index finger of your free hand.
    • Gradually work up to brushing all of the teeth (this will probably take several days). Make sure you reach the big teeth at the back of the mouth.
    • Generally, only the outer surfaces of the teeth need to be cleaned because the tongue tends to remove plaque from the inner surfaces.
    • Try to brush for approximately 30 seconds per side.
    • A cat’s mouth houses plenty of harmful bacteria, so it is a good idea to wash your hands and the toothbrush thoroughly when you are done.

    • Click on the “video” button to watch a demonstration or read the steps that follow.
    • Warm the medication by standing the bottle in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes.
    • Make sure you have carefully read the label and understand the dosing instructions.
    • Draw up the liquid into the dropper.
    • Gently pull the ear flap straight up using your other hand.
    • Apply the prescribed number of drops into the ear canal while continuing to keep the ear flap elevated.
    • Rub the ear against the dog’s head in a circular motion. Be cautious and gentle. The dog may not allow you to do this.
    • Release the ear and let your dog shake its head. If the medication contains a wax solvent, debris will be dissolved so it can be shaken out.
    • Make sure you give your dog plenty of praise throughout the procedure and offer a treat after giving the medication.

    • Prepare the environment so that you have a safe place to handle your dog. It is easiest to give liquid medication if you have a second person available to help you to handle the dog.
    • Have the medication ready and in a place where it will be easily accessible.
    • Make sure you have carefully read the label and understand the dosing instructions.
    • Create a pouch along the side of the mouth by gently pulling the lip away from the teeth.
    • Place the tip of the syringe in the side of the mouth, just behind one of the canine teeth and advance the syringe so that it is in the mouth just past the tooth line
    • Slowly squeeze the syringe to dispense the liquid medication. Make sure you do this slowly so the dog has time to swallow the liquid and breathe.
    • Most dogs will spit out some of the medication. DO NOT re-medicate unless you are certain that NONE of the medication was taken.    Make sure you give your dog plenty of praise throughout the procedure and offer a treat or extra playtime after giving the medication. This will make the experience more positive and will make it easier to give the medication the next time.
    • Rinse the dropper thoroughly with water and refrigerate.

    • Remember that the ear may be very painful and that the cat may respond by scratching and biting.
    • Warm the medication by standing the bottle in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes.
    • Hold the cat securely in your lap. You may need to have someone help you by wrapping the cat in a blanket with only the head exposed.
    • Make sure you have carefully read the label and understand the dosing instructions.

    • Prepare the environment so that you have a safe place to handle your cat. Have the pill ready and in a place where it will be easily accessible.
    • If you are administering the medication on your own, you may find it easiest to place your cat in your lap. You may need to have someone assist you in restraining your cat by wrapping it in a blanket with only the head exposed.
    • Make sure you have carefully read the label and understand the dosing instructions.
    • Grease the pill with a very small amount of margarine or butter so it doesn’t stick in your cat’s mouth or throat.
    • Hold the pill between your thumb and index finger.
    • Gently grasp your cat’s head from above with your other hand, by placing your thumb on one side and your fingers on the other. Tilt the cat’s head back over its shoulder so that its nose points to the ceiling. The jaw should drop open slightly.
    • With your pilling hand, use your little finger and ring finger to open the cat’s mouth further by gently putting pressure on the lower front teeth.
    • Quickly place the pill as far back over the tongue as possible.
    • Close the cat’s mouth and hold it closed while you return the head to a normal position.
    • Gently rub the cat’s nose or throat, or blow lightly on the nose. This should stimulate swallowing.
    • If you have trouble with this method of opening the mouth, try placing the cat on a table. Hold the cat by the scruff of the neck and lift the front paws off of the table. The mouth will open. Quickly place the pill as far back over the tongue as possible, as in the previous method.

    • Make sure you have carefully read the label and understand the dosing instructions.
    • Hold the syringe with your dominant hand.
    • Draw up the prescribed amount of liquid into the syringe.
    • First, try to allow the cat to lick the medication from the end of the syringe as you slowly depress the plunger. The cat may accept the medication more readily if it is warmed to room temperature. If this is ineffective, gently take the cat by the scruff of the neck and lift the front paws off of your lap.

    • Hold the bottle using your thumb and index finger. You may want to rest this hand on the top of the dog’s head to help stabilize your hand.
    • With your other hand, use your thumb to pull down the lower eyelid. Place your remaining fingers under the dog’s jaw to support the head. The lower eyelid acts as a pouch to receive the drops.
    • Hold the bottle close to the eye but make sure you DO NOT touch the eye’s surface.
    • Squeeze the prescribed number of drops onto the eyeball, aiming for the center of the eye, and then release the head.
    • The dog will blink, spreading the medication over the surface of the eye.
    • Make sure you give your dog plenty of praise throughout the procedure and offer a treat when you are finished.

    <![CDATA[Brushing your dog’s teeth]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/videos/brushing-your-dogs-teeth/ Fri, 15 Jul 2011 14:23:08 +0000 https://web4.lifelearn.com/lifelearnanimalhospital/?post_type=video&p=1015 Instructions
    • Choose a quiet time and place to start the brushing.
    • It is best to teach your dog to accept brushing while he or she is still a puppy. If you have an older dog, the process may take a little longer.
    • First, call your dog to you in a friendly voice.
    • Start by rubbing your finger or a soft cloth over the dog’s teeth in a back-and-forth motion.
    • Once your dog is comfortable with this, you may try letting him or her taste a little bit of toothpaste from your finger. Pet toothpaste is recommended and is very appetizing to most pets. It may make brushing more enjoyable for them. Human toothpaste should not be used as it can result in the pet having an upset stomach.
    • Once your dog has accepted the taste of the toothpaste, apply a small amount to a toothbrush and begin by raising your dog’s lip with your free hand, then brushing one or two cheek teeth in a straight back-and-forth motion. Try to hold the brush at a 45-degree angle to the tooth, with the bristles pointing toward the gumline. You will need to open the dog’s mouth slightly in order to reach the lower gumline.
    • Work from the back teeth toward the midline of your dog’s mouth, then switch to the other side.
    • Gradually work up to brushing all of the teeth (this will probably take several days). Make sure you reach the big teeth at the back of the mouth.
    • Generally, only the outer surfaces of the teeth need to be cleaned because the tongue tends to remove plaque from the inner surfaces.
    • Try to brush for approximately 30 seconds per side.
    • Make sure you give your dog plenty of praise and offer a treat after brushing. This will make the experience more positive and will make it easier to brush the next time.
    • A dog’s mouth houses plenty of harmful bacteria, so it is a good idea to wash your hands and the toothbrush thoroughly when you are done.

    <![CDATA[Collecting a urine specimen from your dog - Female]]> https://brentwoodanimalhospital.com/videos/collecting-a-urine-specimen-from-your-dog-female/ Fri, 15 Jul 2011 14:29:26 +0000 https://web4.lifelearn.com/lifelearnanimalhospital/?post_type=video&p=1021 Instructions for Female Dog
    • Approach the female dog slowly as she begins to squat.
    • Place a shallow container under her after she has started to urinate. It is easiest to leave the container on the ground until she is finished. This is called a mid-stream sample.
    • If you have used a pie plate, transfer the urine to a collection container with a lid and bring it to your vet as soon as possible.
    • Some dogs will stop urinating when your approach them. If you experience difficulty in collecting a sample, contact your veterinarian.
