Our veterinary community has been impacted by the loss of a wonderful veterinarian this week.
We send our deepest condolences to the veterinary clinic staff, family members, clients and our veterinary community.

You likely have seen many posting about 'Not One More Vet'.

People working in the animal health field do so with care, compassion and empathy. It's part of what can make the work more difficult.

The job challenges that veterinarians and staff face have led to disproportionately high su***de rates. But there is help available.

Not One More Vet provides support to all members of veterinary teams and students who are struggling. Because you are never alone.

Please remember this holiday season that our homes are full of food items that pose a lot of risks to our pets Chocolate is probably one of the top items on the list plus plants and flowers. However often over looked are bags they are so dangerous in loving memory of Pinot please be extra vigilant to keep these items out of reach and dispose of them appropriately.

AirTags are better than nothing and at least in the city have a better chance but please keep this in mind!

As most of you know, I search for missing pets with thermal drones (Thermal image of our Huskies attached), and I see this constantly: AirTags are not for dogs. While they are surely better than nothing, they only use short-range Bluetooth, which usually reaches 5–100 feet. For an AirTag to ping, your dog has to pass very close to someone with an iPhone or iPad that has Bluetooth, location services, and internet enabled. Most lost dogs avoid people, move fast, and travel through areas with no nearby phones, which means the AirTag never or rarely updates.

In nearly every case I’ve worked where a dog was wearing an AirTag, it stopped pinging the moment the dog went missing. While some have pinged again, they are sporadic, at best.

If you want real protection, you need a GPS/cellular tracking collar. These use satellites and cell towers to give true real-time locations, live maps, speed and direction updates, and reliable tracking even when your dog is far from people. This is critical for fast-moving breeds like our Huskies.

The most reliable options are Fi, Tractive, and Dogtra. We use one of these brands for our Huskies.

If your dog ever gets loose, a GPS/cellular collar gives you an actual chance to find them. An AirTag almost certainly won’t. If you know someone using an AirTag on their pet's collar, please let them know this info!
