Watch this and see if this type of video is right for you. ~ Dr. H.

Hero Dog Receives Reward
Some of you might remember a post about 30 days ago where I mentioned "Axle", a K9 officer in my local area. Axle found a toddler who had been left in some bushes by his mother near a set of train tracks. This is Axle receiving his American Red Cross Hometown Hero award! Sorry for the lack of audio.

Pets and Holiday Foods Don't Always Mix!
This is the time of year when family and friends gather to enjoy the spirit of the holidays. Unfortunately, in our desire to share the happiness with our dogs and cats, some pet owners accidentally cause a holiday emergency. Many of the foods that are favored by households during the festivities can actually be very dangerous to our pets. Chocolates, fatty foods and even some of the spices we use in preparing our meals can lead to big problems. Watch this video from our Veterinary News Network team to learn how to avoid a holiday trip to the animal ER!
Raw Food Diet Controversy
Raw Food Diet Controversy
In any discussion about pet foods, people are going to bring up their favorite brands and quote many different reasons WHY they like that particular food. Are these folks simply following the a multi-million dollar ad campaign? Some pet owners have opted to make homemade diets for their pets, including the use of raw meat? Is this type of food better or safer for our animals? Watch this video to learn how you can determine the best type of food to feed your four legged critters!
Cats Often Forgotten When It Comes to Veterinary Care
From Siamese and Persians to the outdoor barn kitty, Americans love our cats! With more than 80 million felines being pampered in homes across the country, our cat friends have become the #1 pet in the nation. Since they are so popular, it would be easy to think that our cats are probably given everything that they could want or need. Unfortunately, studies show that cats are much less likely to be given proper veterinary care than our dog friends...why is this? Watch this video to learn the answers of why cats get lower care!
Protecting Your Pet's Vision
When you look into your pet's eyes, what should you see? Most people would say they might see a scheming cat planning her next outrageous stunt or a sad puppy dog, begging for that last piece of pizza! For all the expressions we see in our pet's eyes, it's important to understand just how delicate and prone to injury the eyes really are. Veterinarians see everything from minor scratches and irritation to severe blindness or even cataracts. When the eye issue becomes complex, many pets are referred to their own eye care specialist...the Veterinary Ophthalmologist. Watch this video to see the pet eye doctors in action!
Itchy Pets Are Miserable Pets!
Itchy pets can be a source of frustration for many owners, but certainly the pets aren't enjoying it either!! Many pets go through an "itch-scratch" cycle that gets worse and worse each year, especially during warmer weather. Flea medications don't seem to help and owners get tired of hearing the poor dog licking and chewing and scratching for relief. What could cause this sort of problem? The answer is a funny sounding word...ATOPY.
I know some areas of the country are getting a break from the heat, but this is a great reminder of how quickly your car can heat up even on a mild day.
Thanks @Meyerland Animal Clinic!
Over the Counter Flea Products May Not Be A Bargain!
In recent months, brand new "generic" over the counter flea medications have found their way into many grocery stores and big box retail outlets.

Now, we all want to save money AND we all want to keep our pets safe from those pesky fleas and ticks, but is there any risk to buying your pet's flea products from a display rack? Watch this video for a few tips on choosing the right flea protection.
