In honor of National Veterinary Technician Week this week, we wanted to put a spotlight on our dedicated technicians! 🩺🐾

Our veterinary technicians play such an important role in keeping your pets healthy and providing them with the best possible care. From performing dental cleanings and taking dental radiographs to assisting with ultrasounds, examining cytologies under the microscope, drawing blood, and running lab work, their days are filled with a variety of important tasks!

They also place IV catheters, prepare patients for surgery, monitor pets closely while under anesthesia, take radiographs, and so much more. Whether they’re helping with diagnostics, assisting during procedures, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable, our techs are there every step of the way. ❤️

We are so thankful for the knowledge, compassion, and dedication our veterinary technicians bring to our team every day. Help us celebrate our amazing techs this week and thank them for all they do for our patients and their families! 🐶🐱🩺

We will be closing early today at 5:00 PM. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding!

Thank you for being a part of the Two Rivers Veterinary Hospital family! 🐾💙

🐾Today is Pet Obesity Awareness Day🐾

Carrying extra weight can have a significant impact on your pet’s health and quality of life. Obesity can increase the risk of joint problems, arthritis, diabetes, heart and respiratory issues, and other health complications. It can also make it more difficult for pets to stay active and comfortable.

The good news is that even small changes can make a big difference! ❤️

Helping your pet reach a healthy weight may include:
• Working with your veterinarian to create a safe weight-loss plan
• Measuring meals and treats instead of guessing
• Choosing healthy, appropriate treats
• Increasing daily activity and exercise
• Monitoring weight and body condition regularly

For pets who need extra support with exercise, using our underwater treadmill can be a great option. The buoyancy of the water helps reduce stress on the joints while allowing pets to walk and build strength, making it especially helpful for overweight pets or those with mobility concerns.

If you’re concerned about your pet’s weight, talk with your veterinarian about creating a weight-loss plan tailored to their individual needs. A healthier weight can mean a healthier, happier, and more active life! 🐶🐱

🐾 October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month! 🐾

Every shelter dog has a story, a personality, and so much love to give. When you adopt, you’re not just giving a dog a home—you’re giving them a second chance at the happy life they deserve.

This month, we’re putting the spotlight on four wonderful dogs looking for their forever homes at Homeward Animal Shelter:

Brie, Solana, and Baby Girl!

These pups are just a few of the many shelter dogs waiting for someone to see their potential and give them a chance.

If you’re thinking about adding a dog to your family, consider visiting your local shelter and giving a deserving dog the opportunity to become part of your family.

Give a shelter dog their happily ever after! ❤️

🐾 Happy Walk Your Dog Week! 🐾
📅 October 1–7

Walking your dog is about more than just getting some exercise—it’s an important part of their overall health and well-being!

Regular walks can help your dog:
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Keep muscles and joints strong and moving
- Get important mental stimulation
- Explore new sights, sounds, and smells
- Reduce boredom and help manage stress
- Strengthen the bond between you and your furry friend

And the benefits aren’t just for your dog! Taking a walk together is a great way for you to get moving, spend quality time together, and enjoy some fresh air.

So this Walk Your Dog Week, grab the leash and head outside! Even a short walk is a step toward a healthier, happier life. 🐾

🐾 We’re excited to announce that we now carry Poofs! 🐾

Poofs are a hypoallergenic treat created by Dr. Amy Haarstad, a Board-Certified Veterinary Dermatologist, who some of you may recognize from appointments she holds here at our hospital.

Made with pets with food allergies in mind, Poofs are a great treat option for those who need to be a little more careful about what they eat.

Ask us about Poofs at your next visit and see if they’re a good fit for your pet!
