National Pet Week is widely celebrated throughout the United States and other parts of the world. In 2012, National Pet Week is celebrated from May 6-12. The goals of National Pet Week are to promote responsible pet ownership, celebrate the human-animal bond, and promote public awareness of veterinary medicine.
This sweet boy was brought in to the impound and is looking for a loving family. He is well trained! If you know where his home is or are interested in being his new home please give Countryside Animal Hospital a call at 645-4522. Dr Rich attempts to keep Boo awake while he waits for his x-ray to finish processing. There must be a better choice than reciting from “The Anatomy of the Dog” because Boo looks like he is almost out!
Pet owners love their pets and enjoy taking pictures of them. How many times have you tried to take a picture of “Fluffy” only to be dissappointed in how it turned out? There are some basics that when followed, will improve your photograpy skills of animals. Get on your pet’s level : Avoid towering over your pet as you take their picture. Lowering the camera creates more interest with the pet. Use the entire frame: Get close enough so you fill the entire frame of the picture. Avoid taking the picture with the pet being in the dead center. Use the rule of thirds – 1/3 the ball, 1/3 the head, 1/3 the body. Let there be light: Early or late in the day is better lighting conditions for taking pictures. Avoid the day in which there are no clouds, this will create too many dark shadows. A cloudy day is best. Puppy pictures: It’s hard to screw up a puppy picture because they are so very cute, BUT, it is also hard to take a puppy’s picture because they are not very good at SIT and STAY. Welcome some of our newest additions to Countryside Animal Hospital’s family! Here are some of the puppies we’ve seen over the last few weeks!  Belle
Yesterday we removed the stitches from a great 8 month old yellow lab, Zoey. At the end of November Zoey decided to chew up and swallow bits of plastic and string. This was an unfortunate event because the plastic got stuck in her stomach and the string traveled into her intestines and caused multiple holes to develop. This was a very sick puppy! Luckily, we took her to surgery ASAP and removed the plastic and string. The many holes were sewn shut and lots of fluids, antibiotics and pain meds were given. She now is a happy, healthy active puppy! Whew…
With 2011 coming to a close we would like to thank you for trusting us with your pets health and well being. We look forward to serving you and your pets throughout 2012 and wishing you a happy and healthy NEW YEAR from Countryside Animal Hospital and Kennels! Earlier this week Countryside Animal Hospital was presented with a certificate of appreciation and letter from their executive director thanking us for our participation in the PEHS spay and neuter program! Prairies Edge Humane Society is one of the numerous rescue groups we work with in the area. We all like to do our part to control the animal population so there are not so many homeless pets; especially over these cold winter months. Take care to spay and neuter your pet before they are old enough to reproduce! |
