Due to current health issues I'm hoping someone will continue the journey forward.

Just something to remember. We are getting into the season and skunks are out and about.

Please read and share this post as it could save a dog's life.

This week we found out the devastating news that one of our amazing grooming pups passed away unexpectedly. She was playing in her yard and ate a poisonous mushroom and died within 3 hours.

While Tufts Emergency Veterinary Hospital is a wonderful place, they were not able to care for this very sick pup. The owners did not know where else to go so they drove all the way to Ocean State Emergency Veterinary Specialists in RI and by that time it was too late. She sadly passed within ten minutes of walking in the door. These owners acted fast and did everything right and it still happened too fast for them to get the help she needed.

By sharing this very sad story, we hope to raise awareness about two very important tips that every pet owner should be aware of:

1. With all of the rain we have been getting, there are mushrooms everywhere right now. The Vet said this is the worst mushroom outbreak they have seen in years and 4 dogs were seen earlier that day for the same thing. So please be mindful if you have mushrooms in your yard and also keep an eye out when you walk your dog.

2. There are closer places to get your dog Emergency Care in Central Massachusetts than driving to RI that we want more people to know about.

The Veterinary Emergency Group is right in Shrewsbury, MA.
(196 Boston Turnpike, phone: 508-590-9319)
They are open 24/7, you do not need to call ahead, and it is about 15 minutes away from Tufts.

If you are not from central Massachusetts, we encourage you to find the two closest emergency veterinary clinics and save the contact information in case you ever need it.

If you suspect your dog ate a poisonous mushroom you can also call the *Animal Poison Emergency Hotline: 888-426-4435 (*Please note there is a fee for this).

We are absolutely devastated by the loss of our sweet friend, Maggie. If this post helps save even one dog's life then it will be worth sharing.

A few drops of an algea bloom can kill a dog. The sooner you get to a vet for supportive care, the better.
There is no cure.
Yesterday morning I took my dogs to a private pond, thinking the danger had passed because nights and days were cooler.
Seconds after I took this photo, I saw something in the water that had us scrambling for a hose.
After I calmed down (I didn't really), I read up .
Dogs can get sick hours, even days later.
Better safe than sorry .
Stay diligent.

Heads up pet pals!
Sharing from a Vet. Not sure where they found the info or if orally invested is the issue vs. eye drops.

I'm excited to announce the next chapter for Coastal Canine Clippings! As of September 11, our base of operations will move to New Hampshire. Although we will dearly miss our Maine clients, we can recommend Pixie Willow Mobile or Platinum Paws, both of whom have sterling reputations and do excellent work. Thank you everyone who has supported us this past year. We will miss you all!
