Senior Patient Spotlight: Peaches 🐾

At 15 years old, Peaches is easily one of my all-time favorite patients. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for her for around 4 years!

Over the years, we’ve managed significant gallbladder disease (now almost normal), low thyroid, and discussed dental problems along the way.

Peaches is a great example of why senior veterinary care matters. Getting older comes with its challenges, but with regular monitoring and proactive management, we can help our senior pets maintain a great quality of life.

She may have significantly fewer teeth these days, but that’s just less wind resistance when the zoomies kick in! (Check the comments for 15 year old zoomies)

Always a pleasure seeing this little lady!

🐾 5 Months Post-Op and Thriving!

Meet Maya Lind, an 11-year-old Husky who underwent a left liver lobectomy five months ago.

Today, Maya returned for her recheck, and we couldn’t be happier! She’s doing fantastic, has more energy than ever, and has no concerns for tumor regrowth. She skipped her way into the exam room to give a big kiss on the face.

Maya is a great reminder that age is not a disease, and even major surgery can make a tremendous difference in a pet’s quality of life. What a testament to her and her fantastic owners

Keep living your best life, Maya! ❤️

🐾 Did you know?

Idaho leads the nation in dog ownership! 🏔️🐕

An incredible 58.3% of Idaho households share their home with at least one dog—and with 89+ million dogs living across the United States, our four-legged family members have never been a bigger part of our lives.

As a veterinarian, one thing I know for certain is this:

The years we get with our dogs are never long enough—but great preventive care can help make every one of them count.

My goal on this page is simple: to help you become the best advocate for your pet through practical tips, honest education, and a behind-the-scenes look at veterinary medicine.

🐢 Tuck’s Transformation ! 🐢

Meet Tuck, a 20 year old box turtle whose new owner noticed he wasn’t eating well after rescue. In fact, he rarely extended his head from his shell.

During his exam, we discovered the problem: an overgrown and slightly broken beak. A turtle’s beak grows continuously throughout its life, and when it becomes too long, eating can become difficult and uncomfortable.

With some gentle sedation, we were able to carefully trim Tuck’s beak. The improvement was almost immediate—he began extending his head normally and was back to eating comfortably.

📹 Check out the video of Tuck’s beak trim, along with his before-and-after photos and a video of him feeling much better afterward!

💡 Did you know?
Box turtles are omnivores and do best on a varied diet of leafy greens, vegetables, insects, worms, and small amounts of fruit. Proper nutrition and natural chewing behaviors help promote normal beak wear.

✂️ How often do turtles need beak trims?
There is no set schedule. Some turtles never need one, while others may require periodic trims depending on diet, beak alignment, and natural wear.

We’re happy to report that Tuck is back to enjoying his meals and feeling much more like himself!

Have a turtle or other reptile at home? Tell me their name in the comments!
