In case you don’t have a graduate of your own at home… we’re here to announce that it’s graduation season! Ronin looks about stage ready in his cap and gown, doesn’t he?
Although he graduated from doggy behavioral training a while ago, he makes a great mascot. He’s definitely one of the smartest dogs we know… for better or for worse. We have patients of all kinds who go through training programs and end up earning their “degree” in obedience training.
We’re here to congratulate all of the graduates this year and take some time to celebrate our loved ones who have accomplished some awesome feats in both people and doggy educational programs.

Did you know that your cat sleeps between 12 to 16 hours per day? To some, that may not be surprising, but keep in mind that your dog sleeps around the same amount of time, around 12 to 14 hours!
Kittens and puppies and older cats and dogs need even more for healthy brain and can sleep for around 20 hours per day.
Your adult cat is actually a very efficient predator (although it might not seem like it...), who uses a lot of energy in small bursts and then sleeps to conserve the rest! Most breeds of dogs don't necessarily follow this same pattern, but greyhounds do! Being known for speed, they have to conserve their energy for those moments of intense zoomies.
Dogs sleep needs are much more based on breed. Certain dogs are bred to be more active at night, but for the most part your canine friend will match their favorite persons sleep patterns. On the other hand, your cat may sleep most of the time, but often you might find that they are most active when YOU'RE trying to sleep. Cats are crepuscular, meaning they're most active times are around dusk and dawn.
Maybe this is why studies have shown that sleeping next to your dog is better for your sleep quality than sleeping next to your cat, or even your favorite human!

Remember loud little Escobar from a couple of weeks ago?
Well... his leg is nearly all fixed up! He's just as happy to be home with his family as they are to see him again. His family is committed to keeping him calm and contained (easier said than done sometimes) to finish the healing process, but they're with him the entire way.
His family is sleeping with him every night to keep him company, meanwhile he's just longing to play with his housemates.
I think we can all agree that he is lucky to have such a wonderful family and we're happy to see him almost all the way fixed up!

Buster visited us recently for a nose job to help him breathe better! We have his before and after, and unlike people, he doesn’t even need to wear a bandage across the bridge of his nose. His procedure is something that a lot of squishy face dogs end up needing, and it should cut down on labored breathing or wheezing for him! Can you tell the difference in the before and after?

We've had a couple of questions regarding how to navigate our VetSource website. Because of the questions we've gotten, we've decided to set up a handy guide for y'all to help with finding links and what to click.
1.) Go to our website oldetowneanimalhospital.com
2.) From there you should be able to find a button labeled "Shop Online".
3.) After clicking it, it will take you to a page in which "Account" will be in the top right corner.
4.) From there you can sign in to a pre-existing account using your established login credentials, using Facebook, or using Google. You can also create a new account using the button on the top right.
5.) If you are creating an account for the first time, enter your phone number, and fill in your information.
From here you will be able to get medication and prescription food easily without driving up to Olde Towne or going to a store. Instead of the inconvenience, you can ship what you need right to your house, and you can use the "auto-ship" feature to ensure you never run out of the products your pet relies on.

Memorial Day is upon us, and we’re happy to honor and remember our service members who’ve lost their lives in the line of duty. We are grateful to all of our service men and women who protect our country. Ronin’s lineage actually comes from police dogs, and he’s happy to show his support, although he himself has never been a public servant. Here at OTAH several employees have family members who have served and even some of our employees are ex-service members. We’ve all made an effort to pay our respects today, and although these pictures of Ronin are cute, more importantly, we are taking the time to thank our military personnel for their ultimate sacrifices today.

Did you know that your dog or cat actually runs warmer than us humans? If you've ever taken your pet's temperature you probably already know this, but a normal temperature in dogs or cats is around two to four degrees Fahrenheit or one to two degrees Celsius warmer than humans.
If your pet has an elevated temperature, you can look out for things like loss of appetite, lethargy, or shivering. Often we can't tell our pets are warmer than normal until they start showing physical signs. The best and most accurate way to confirm a fever is to use a re**al thermometer. Although ear thermometers do exist for pets, they can be less accurate, and often read lower than your pet's actual body temperature. They are great for quick, non-invasive home checks though.
If you feel like your furry family member might be showing signs of fever, feel free to give us a call!

AHEM, Ronin has something that he would like to share with everyone! He would like to show off all the tricks he knows! Some of these involve “sit”, “lay down”, and “sit pretty”. While he follows commands without missing a beat, Nico was also a willing participant… given there was a guaranteed and confirmed bribe at the end. Either way, we know that both of these boys just love attention, so anytime they can show off what they know, they’d surely prefer to take up the opportunity.

The beach or the lake might be appealing to you and your family, including your furry family members who don’t want to be left out. Your dog might absolutely love to go with you instead of staying at a boarding facility. Can you imagine your pet sleeping next to you on the sand, by the ocean, salty air and ocean waves surrounding you? It sounds amazing! Just keep in mind beaches can be fun and relaxing, but also are a very different environment than what Fido might be used to.
Did you know your dog can get sunburned at the beach, just like you or I? Short-haired or lighter coated dogs are more susceptible, but all dogs can get burned in places like ears, noses, and paws. It holds risks ranging from temporary discomfort to elevated risk of skin cancers.
Public beaches contain hazards like glass, broken shells, fishhooks, or even dangerous marine life. Watch out for jellyfish or algae season, which may pose additional dangers with no visual cues.
Keep in mind that, especially if your dog has long hair or likes to play, they run warmer than us! Often you can’t tell your pet is overheating until it is too late. Make sure there is plenty of shade and water readily available, and protect their paws if the sand is hot that day. Remember: If you can’t hold your hand on it for seven continuous seconds, they don’t want to have to do that either.
Watch for saltwater or sand ingestion. If you notice your dog ingesting or drinking the ocean water or sand, keep in mind that it’s just as bad for them as it is for us. It can lead to dehydration, diarrhea, and vomiting.

Attention! Seeking patient features!
We love putting up pictures of our pets every week and using their videos on our social media, but we also love to do patient features, like in the case of cute little Escobar last week, or darling Guinness from a couple of weeks ago. We always ask before posting any patients here at Olde Towne, but we wanted to reach out and see if any of our lovely clients who followed us here would want us to feature their babies in our posts. How would you feel seeing your dog or cat featured on the Olde Towne socials? I know Ronin and Nico are probably basking in the spotlight. (Let’s just hope their egos don’t get too big…)
Feel free to submit pictures in the comment section or DM us! We can post a little story about your pet too, so that all the rest of the OTAH family gets to know and love your family just as much as you do.
