We all love puppies but if you are thinking of adding a new pup to your household, you want to be sure it is from a rescue or from a good dog breeder, not a puppy mill.

Thanks for following our Pet Care Tips Series where each week we talk to an animal expert in our community to get you one tip that every pet lover should know.
Guest of the Week: Dr. Debbie Sunken with Country Companions Veterinary Service
It seems like discussions about vaccines are popping up everywhere, whether it be for dogs, cats or humans. Humans are not our thing here, but Dr. Debbie Sunken was kind enough to join us to discuss the different types of vaccines your pet can and should receive. First she talks about what information you need to give your veterinarian so he/she can give you the best recommendations for your dog or cat. Then she tells us the differences between viral and bacterial vaccines and the basics of how they work. Nothing too complicated but it explains why different vaccines last for different lengths of time before needing a booster.
Then Dr. Sunken tells us about commonly seen vaccinations in dogs and cats and talks about why each is important. She includes a few dog and cat vaccines that have been getting a lot of hype lately but might not be the best for your pets.
This is a longer video that we normally do but it is packed full of information and I did not want to leave any out! If you are wondering if your dog or cat really needs all those shots, then this is the interview for you!
Country Companions Veterinary Service
Mobile veterinarians are becoming more and more popular, especially for pets who are elderly. The veterinarian is able to see your pets in your own home and look at factors such as the environment, arrangement of furniture and interactions between pets. Dr Debbie Sunken works in Northern Colorado and loves to pets in your own home.

This is the recording of a presentation on Elderly Pet Health Issues given by Dr Kelly Rohn DVM, owner of Hidden Springs Veterinary Care. Dr Rohn walked us through the symptoms we will see in elderly pets and steps we can take to improve their quality of life. Dogs and cats can easily hide symptoms or they can be overlooked as your pet grows older and becomes less active.
This series is hosted monthly by the Pet Honor Society.
LEARN MORE Hidden Springs Veterinary Care is a mobile veterinary practice that caters to both elderly pets as well as animals that would prefer to be seen in their own home.
Pet Honor Society is dedicated to helping you through end of life pet care. She hosts a monthly Pet Parent Series where a guest speaker addresses an issue important to us all. Visit their website to see dates for upcoming events.

Guest of the Week: Dr. Kelly Rohn with Hidden Springs Veterinary Care
Dr Kelly talks with us today about a very important subject: exercising your elderly or arthritic pets. It is easy to want to take pity on your pets by letting them take it easy and assuming that will help them feel better. But that is not the case! Dogs and cats need exercise in order to keep them from getting more sore and stiff. Dr Kelly speaks to us about why that is and how you can help your pets even when they are older or have arthritis.
Hidden Springs Veterinary Care
Mobile veterinarians are becoming more and more popular, especially for pets who are elderly. The veterinarian is able to see your pets in your own home and look at factors such as the environment, arrangement of furniture and interactions between pets. Dr Kelly does a great job considering the whole care of your pet. Truth be told, mobile vets are becoming more common for people who just do not want the stress of transporting their pets to a clinic or just want to try it out. If you want to try something a little different, consider contacting her, or a mobile veterinarian in your area to discuss options.
