End of Life Mobile Vets

End of Life Mobile Vets

We all know that there’s no place like home, and for most of us, that is the place where we prefer to be when we’re not feeling well.

Home provides us security, comfort, love and peace.  It is also the place where many wish to live out their last days. For our pets (most anyway), the same mentality abounds.  They just want to be home with their loved ones when they’re in their last days.

Is it always possible to provide our pets the option of being euthanized at home?  I guess it depends on where you live, scheduling and what your budget is.  Below is a directory for nationwide mobile veterinarians:

Wash Your Pup, Feed Another

Fur-FriendZ is a grooming place in Woodland that also offers self-bathing!  Though it’s easy to save the money and wash your pup at home, the things I appreciate in having a place to go to in order to give Lanai a bath are:

[checklist]

  • Saving my plumbing from all of that long hair going down the drain (I never can seem to catch it all even with traps!)
  • Saving from back from bending over; Fur-FriendZ has awesome tubs that are high!
  • Never having to remember to buy dog shampoo, conditioner, perfume and the works
  • NOT having to deal with ALL of the clean-up (with dogs that long hair, clean-up is a big CHORE!)

[/checklist]

If you find yourself at Fur-FriendZ, they have a barrel, if you will, where they collect and donate pet food.  What a great twofer:
[checklist]

  1. A great place to bathe your pup
  2. Donating some pet food to help another

[/checklist]

Quick Tip Idea for: Futon Mattresses

Need a cheap dog bed?  One thing you can try is buying a used futon mattress on Craigslist and then just cover it with a sheet or a futon mattress cover (either one works for keeping it clean).  Since we go through beds over here rapidly, the futon mattresses work out well and you actually get TWO for the price of ONE (once you cut the connecting piece of fabric between the two parts of the mattress).

A non-exhaustive list of things you can use these mattresses for, with regards to pets, is as follows:

[checklist]

  • “Steps” for a little dog gym:  a)  just the two pieces of the futon mattress will act as big steps for little breeds to jump and run along, or b)  cut one or both mattresses to create a pyramid for little dogs to exercise on
  • Actual dog beds (great for large breeds, too)
  • A transition tool.  Step 1: Place the mattresses next to couches for training your dogs to stay off of the furniture but still being able to be close to you.  Step 2: When they know the mattresses are their “beds”, you can then place the bed away from the furniture

[/checklist]

So far, I think the most use from our futon mattresses has been from the little guys who love to jump and run across it while playing Fetch 😉  We haven’t made the pyramid idea yet but just having the two (pieces) is enough to embark on a world of fun and exercise adventure for the smaller breeds.

As always, please share your thoughts and ideas 🙂  We would love to hear them!

Christmas Coupons Discontinued

As of this year, we are no longer offering Christmas Coupons.  I know what you’re thinking, “Oh, they’re cutting back like everyone else seems to be.”  Well, the direct answer to this statement would be “yes” and “no”.  Let me explain….

For years, we offered Christmas Coupons at the end of each calendar year for anyone who was serviced by us that particular year.  The coupons would often be HUGE discounts (anywhere from 10 – 50% off of services, even a select number of FREE service days, too, depending on the volume that the client spent with us)!  The bottom line for us having to stop this particular program though is that our love for giving (being “overly generous” as we have been called) was hurting our bottom line; this is the cold, hard truth.

Our services are already at rock-bottom prices considering all that comes with a service (off-leash hikes, toys, treats, beds, no charge for medications or special diets, etc.) and we still offer our ongoing Facebook discount, which is 10% off boarding and daycare for those that “like” our page 🙂

Look for random acts of kindness throughout the year (deep discounts and free things just because) though as always 😉  We’re not stopping these!  We just absolutely LOVE what we do (the hardest part is charging a fee for something our hearts are so invested in but we have to) and Christmas should be felt all year long!

Here’s hoping your 2014 has been awesome so far!!

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas this year as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.  May our Lord surround you in love and laughter where your heart is bursting with inexpressible, unbelievable joy!   And, may His peace reside in your home as we celebrate the reality of His birth and the expectant hope of His return.

We are thankful for you and the opportunity to care for your fur-kid(s) throughout the year.  It is truly an honor and nothing short of a privilege that we hold dear to our hearts.

Merry Christmas!

The Riggs Family:  Larry, Jessie, Roger, Jordie, Lanai, Boe, Rhett Butler and Sable

Luke 2:10-11  11 For to you is born this day in the town of David a Savior, Who is Christ the Lord!  12 And this will be a sign for you:  you will find a Baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.

 

When Loss Dims the Holiday Spirit

This time of year can be especially difficult for families that have lost a loved one.  As we go through our Holiday season, we, too, are right there with those whose hearts are hurting.

For me, this time of year creates a deep sense of reflection where my mind tends to replay many happy memories of years gone by…memories that make me laugh out loud (I have alarmed some people who have looked at me funny as I’m laughing out loud with no one else in the truck…I don’t care though)!   Even if they still bring about the gone-but-not-forgotten unique and painful sting (I know many of you know this sting oh-so-well, too), they still make heart swell with happiness and feel closer to those I’ve lost.

A dear lady by the name of Gladine, who has since gone home to be with the Lord, told me many years ago when I was a kid that in your heart are many rooms:  A room for every person you love.  She said, “When you lose the people you love in your life, they never leave your heart.”  She went on to say that the wonderful thing about them being in your heart, you can visit them anytime you feel strong enough to open the door.  “When the pain gets to be too much,” she said, “you just excuse yourself, walk out of the room and close the door until next time.”  I’ve lost quite a few loved ones since then and I still hold on to this wise woman’s words; a woman who had lost so many she loved by the time she came into my life to include her only child, as well as, her husband yet she beamed with happiness so much that she lit up a room the moment she walked into it.

As we go through these very special days making plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas, designing our Christmas shopping lists, anticipating Black Friday deals, gathering the traditional recipes we want to cook for our family and friends and the many other items that darken our white sheet of paper, on our never-ending to-do lists, may we keep others who have experienced loss, close to our hearts in prayer and held tenderly in our daily thoughts.  They need us to lean on even if we have never had the chance to meet in person (one of the splendid beauties of today’s technology).  [pullquote_right]A willfully, surrendering ear to a hopeless, hurting heart is a very special gift we can give someone this holiday season; something money cannot buy.[/pullquote_right]

As I close this post, my hope for you is that this Thanksgiving and Christmas season, the Lord will bring about a peace you haven’t yet experienced:  His supernatural peace found in and through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.  I hope and pray He blankets you with the knowledge that He created you out of love and compassion just for Him.  With all of the animals (gifts as I see them) he places in your life to love and care for, may you feel His love for you through them like never before in every lick (kiss), paw in the face, loving gaze and jump for joy.

God bless you and your family!  May you have a very Happy Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas!

P.S.  If you see me driving with the pack around town, no other humans in the truck and I’m laughing, don’t be alarmed.  It’s just my spirit working in overtime as I go through my memory album.

A special note to my most recent fur-baby who went to Rainbow Bridge this past March:  Rossy, my beloved little Pickle Juice, Mommy, Daddy, Rog, Jordie, Lanai, Boe, Rhett Butler, Sable, Grandma and Grandpa all miss you so much!  We miss your love for this time of year; you had a built-in Christmas beacon that shone brighter than any star on the clearest of night skies!  Mommy misses taking you to Boca to hike with friends you loved so much in the place you held so dear.  You have the best Christmas present of all:  Hanging with Jesus, surrounded by your big brothers, Phoenix and Myta, as well as, Tommy, Taz, Precious and Felicia— some family you had never met prior to Rainbow Bridge.  We’re asking Jesus to send you, your brothers and sister, THOUSANDS more hugs and kisses from us until we can see you again and give them to you ourselves <3

Do you Shutterfly? We do!

We have been using Shutterfly for years now as our preferred vehicle-of-choice for sending out extra pictures to clients of their fur-kids while they were in our care.  Why do we like Shutterfly?  Because sending through Shutterfly affords us the following:
[checklist]

  • We’re not bogging down people’s emails with heavy files
  • Shutterfly sends a wonderful email out to those receiving the opportunity to view shared photos in the form of a slideshow
  • People are able to print the photos through Shutterfly, if they so desire
  • Shutterfly houses unlimited photos for FREE
  • Shutterfly’s print quality is superb and their pricing is more than reasonable
  • It’s a proficient way for us to get the photos out as quickly as possible

[/checklist]

If you have used Shutterfly, too, tell us what you think about them below!

Travel First-Aid Tip for Dogs: Snakebite

Introduction

Warning:  Graphic pictures of snakebite victims within this post!

We are placing a series of travel first aid tips for dogs on our website.  These tips were written for the “Canine Companion – Instructions & First-Aid Tips that came with the Emergency First-Aid & Travel Kit for Dogs by Dr. Brooks Bloomfield of The Doctor’s Office for Pets located in Truckee, California, a well-known, highly-respected veterinarian with over 30 years of superbly practicing veterinary medicine on wildlife and domesticated animals.

Calis-Tale-Once-BittenThere are so many times that we as pet owners long to have a great veterinarian’s advice on-hand 24/7 so that we’re not left with so many questions during stressful situations when something has happened to our beloved pup especially when traveling (doesn’t it always happen that these situations arise on weekends, too, when your veterinarian’s office is closed).

This travel first-aid tip deals with:  Snakebite

“Snakebites are frightening experiences.  Most envenomations in the United States are caused by pit vipers, which include the rattlesnakes, cottonmouth and copperhead. 

Snake venom is actually a combination of toxins and the severity of an envenomation is related to the strength and amount of venom injected, as well as the site. 

The best approach is to keep the patient as quiet as possible and seek immediate veterinary attention.  First aid is of little benefit.  Diphenhydramine (Diphen is included in the kit) may be helpful in lessening both anxiety and some of the reaction but should be given by mouth only to a completely conscious dog, followed by immediate transport.  Sucking, cutting or applying a tourniquet to the area is of no benefit. 

Some signs of snakebite show up after several hours to days so watch any suspected bite victims closely.”

Note:  References to items or supplies noted in the above instructions were made in reference to the supplies that came in the Emergency First-Aid & Travel Kit for Dogs in conjunction with these instructions.

Travel First Aid Tip for Dogs: Diarrhea

Introduction

We are placing a series of travel first aid tips for dogs on our website.  These tips were written for the “Canine Companion – Instructions & First-Aid Tips” that came with the Emergency First-Aid & Travel Kit for Dogs by Dr. Brooks Bloomfield of The Doctor’s Office for Pets located in Truckee, California, a well-known, highly-respected veterinarian with over 30 years of superbly practicing veterinary medicine on wildlife and domesticated animals.

This travel first-aid tip deals with:  DiArRhEA.

“There are many causes of diarrhea but fortunately, it is usually self-limiting.  Diarrhea can be a substantial source of fluid loss so make sure your dog is consuming enough water to prevent dehydration.  Feeding a bland, easily digested diet is appropriate for the dog with diarrhea.  Dio-Tame may help your dog if he or she gets afflicted.

Persistent diarrhea or the presence of blood should always be followed up with a veterinary exam.”

Note:  References to items or supplies noted in the above instructions were made in reference to the supplies that came in the Emergency First-Aid & Travel Kit for Dogs in conjunction with these instructions.
