Our clinic remains open and committed to taking the best possible care of your pets during this time.
However, we are implementing some temporary policies for everyone’s safety: All appointments and medication/food pickups will be curbside only. Clients should remain in their cars when arriving at our clinic and call for assistance.
After receipt of the call, our staff will either check you in as soon as possible from outside of the hospital, drop off the food or medication or provide you with additional details.
If you are feeling ill or experiencing flu-like symptoms and have an upcoming appointment, please call us to reschedule or make accommodations with a friend or family member to bring in your pet at our clinic.
Thank you for understanding!
It’s fun Friday!

We know we posted about this earlier this spring, but with the recent weather we’ve been having the mushrooms are back.
If you see mushrooms in a place your pets have access to we recommend pulling and discarding them. Many mushrooms are toxic but they are difficult to identify. 🍄

Emma is the newest CVT we’ve added to our staff and we are so happy to have her. She has been a wonderful addition to our team.
When Emma isn’t at work she likes to spend time with her husband, play ball with her dog, read, and bake!
Next up on our list of CVTs is Jordan.
Jordan is an amazing CVT and when she isn’t at the clinic, she enjoys spending time with her husband, family, and fur kiddos, and doing outdoor activities!
As Vet Tech week continues, we are going to shout out our technicians! First up today is Becca.
Becca is our Lead CVT here at SPAH, and when she isn’t at the clinic she enjoys reading, spending time with her family and fur babies, and planning her wedding.
Ever wonder what a Certified Veterinary Technician is or does? We love our technicians!
One of the reasons we recommend flea and tick year round is because the ticks are becoming more resistant to the cold temps.
Monday there was a high of 26 degrees, and we pulled this guy off one of our patients. Yuck!
We saw a patient today where one of the concerns was itchy ears, upon cytology we found ear mites!! Is it just us, or are these things so cool? 🤷🏻♀️

Some times it’s difficult to explain how our pets metabolize human food.
Here is a chart that compares the food commonly given to pets as a doughnut equivalent in humans. 🍩

We got to see a tapeworm (or Dipylidium caninum) the other day. He was an active little guy.
Tapeworms are intestinal parasite that can get up to 11” long, and as they mature they shed segments (seen below). 🪱

We are curious, how did you pick your pet’s name? 🤔💭

We take a comprehensive approach to dental care including oral health assessment, treatment and prevention. We recommend an annual dental healthcare examination for all pets. To schedule a dental exam for your pet please call us at 715-341-6409.

Did you know that 70% of pets have dental disease by age 3?!
The golden standard for oral care is brushing your pet’s teeth every day (with animal approved toothpaste and brushes), but even a couple times a week will help prevent dental disease.
Other things that can help deter dental disease include: water additives, dental chews/treats, & dental wipes.

When we discuss dental disease, we hear “Well they eat fine and don’t seem painful, how could I have missed that?” The truth is most animals don’t show pain, as it’s a sign of weakness.
Below are pictures (before and after a cleaning) of a kiddo that was not showing any symptoms of pain, but would occasionally drop their food. Most of these teeth were so diseased they needed to be removed, but we’ve heard that they are a completely new kiddo and very happy!
For this fun Friday we’d like to know,
