Say hello to our newest veterinarian, Dr. Collins! 🩺🐾
She’s passionate about internal medicine, oncology, and dermatology—and loves helping pets live their healthiest lives.

Dr. Collins earned her Biology degree from Iowa State and her DVM from the University of Illinois before completing a specialty internship and working in both urgent care and general practice.

When she’s not caring for pets, she’s out exploring Colorado with her partner and their four dogs—Duke, Gus, Scout, and Winston! 🐶💙

We’re so excited to have her on the RRAC team!

🎓 August Pet Tip from Red Rocks Animal Center: Beat the Heat! ☀️🐾

Summer isn’t over yet, and that means higher temps and more outdoor adventures! But did you know pets can overheat much faster than humans?

Here are a few tips to keep your furry friend safe in the August heat:

🌡️ Avoid Midday Walks – Walk early in the morning or later in the evening when it's cooler.
💧 Hydration is Key – Always have fresh, cool water available at home and on the go.
🐾 Check the Pavement – Hot pavement can burn paw pads! Use the 5-second rule: if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for paws.
🚗 Never Leave Pets in the Car – Even with windows cracked, temperatures can rise dangerously fast.
🐕‍🦺 Know the Signs of Heatstroke: Excessive panting, drooling, weakness, or vomiting. If you notice these signs, call us immediately.

Let’s keep our pets cool, happy, and healthy all month long! 😎🐶🐱

🐾 Maggie’s Big Brave Journey 🐾

We had the pleasure of caring for sweet Miss Maggie during her heartworm treatment here at [Your Clinic Name]. 💕 Heartworm is spread by mosquitoes and can be deadly, but with proper treatment — and lots of TLC — dogs can make a full recovery.

Maggie has been such a gentle, loving patient, and she’s proof that heartworm treatment is worth every effort. 🐶✨

💡 Did you know? Year-round heartworm prevention is the safest and easiest way to protect your pet. It’s affordable, effective, and can save your pet from months of treatment.

🎆 4th of July Pet Safety Tips from Red Rocks Animal Center 🎆

As we gear up to celebrate Independence Day, we want to remind all our amazing clients to keep their furry friends safe and comfortable during the festivities. While fireworks and cookouts are fun for us, they can be scary — and even dangerous — for pets.

Here are a few important tips to keep in mind this holiday:

🐾 Keep Pets Indoors
Fireworks can cause extreme anxiety. Keep your pets in a quiet, secure space inside your home where they can’t escape or injure themselves.

🎇 Create a Calm Environment
Play soft music or turn on the TV to help mask loud booms. Consider calming treats, pheromone diffusers, or vet-approved anxiety support options if your pet is particularly sensitive.

🚫 No Fireworks or Sparklers Around Pets
The noise, bright lights, and chemical residue from fireworks are not pet-friendly. Even unused fireworks can be toxic if ingested.

🍗 Watch the Grill & Party Foods
Common BBQ foods — like bones, alcohol, chocolate, onions, and grapes — are dangerous for pets. Keep food, drinks, and trash out of reach.

🆔 Double-Check Collars and Microchips
Make sure your pet’s ID tags are up-to-date and their microchip is registered. If they get spooked and run, this will help you reunite faster.

🚨 Know When to Call Us
If your pet is showing signs of anxiety (excessive panting, drooling, hiding, pacing, or escape attempts) or ingests something dangerous, don’t wait — call us or the nearest emergency clinic.

Wishing you and your pets a safe and happy 4th of July! ❤️💙🐶🐱
