www.GroveAnimalHospital.com Grove Animal Hospital & Holistic Center February-May 15, 2016 Tail Waggin’ Times Veterinarian Camp Held At Grove Animal Hospital We were so happy to host a very large group of children at our first Veterinarian Camp at Grove Animal Hospital & Holistic Center. The camp was held in November and featured educational opportunities for kids ages 8-12. The children learned about dog bite awareness, dental care, radiology, treatments and they also made terrific works of animalrelated art. The kids also enjoyed hands on visits with many animals including Bronx, mini horse Frosted Flakes, and the ferrets Dexter & Crash. Thanks to the Grove staff with help from our team at Riverside Animal Clinic McHenry for educating our young friends and introducing them to what you do so well. We will be planning another Veterinarian Camp this summer and we’ll post the date in our newsletter, email reminders and on our website. DENTAL CARE IMPROVES OVERALL HEALTH AND LONGEVITY February is Pet Dental Health Month. At Grove we always take the opportunity to pass along some great wintertime savings for dental care. (See back coupon for details). Gum disease is one of the leading causes of heart, kidney and liver diseases. Professionally cleaning your pet’s teeth annually can help reduce illness, reverse early signs of dental disease and lengthen your pet’s life by up to four years. We know you want your fur baby around as long as possible so please see our offer. If you don’t know about the status of your pet’s oral health, please request a free peek at your pet’s teeth with our assistants. They will educate you in the four stages of dental disease and how to care for your pet’s teeth and gums. Even though you might often consider dental disease a problem for those with “DOGGIE BREATH”, cats need dental care, too! Don’t FURRget them! Refer a friend & receive $10 credit on your account twitch lost 8 pounds in 2015! Our team worked with Twitch all year by keeping him moving, feeding him less and cutting out treats. Limiting treats was the hardest part of Twitch’s diet plan because he is a formidable beggar. Not only is it hard to turn him down when he begs for part of your lunch he can use his heft to demand it! Anyway, he now has a new fountain on the front desk that has helped increase his water intake and he looks great! Give him a pat next time you’re in. He was 28 pounds in January 2014 and is now around 20 pounds. Grove Going Green We have taken more steps to reduce our carbon footprint. Our office is converting our paper records to digital files.

No substitutions PARALYZED BEAGLE WALKS AGAIN Max was seen at an emergency room for paralysis of his front legs. His owner thought he could have injured himself when he jumped off a piece of furniture. The options by a conventional vet were expensive specialty surgery or euthanasia. Max’s owner declined both options and made an appointment with Dr. Carlson. With the use of the cold laser, acupuncture and herbal treatments, Max was off his pain meds in four days and doing great after three treatments. There is some residual effect of the paralysis but he’s able to go about daily life now. In total, Max has had 5 acupuncture and laser treatments. We have posted video on our blog showing Max one month after his first visit. See it on www.groveanimalhospital.com HOLISTIC SUCCESS STORIES Zoey is a 13 year old Weimeraner who came to Dr. Carlson covered in skin tumors and suffering from arthritis pain. Her owners reported that she had declining energy that limited her daily life and changed her behavior. Dr. Carlson used custom holistic testing to determine Zoey’s specific imbalances. Cold laser, which provides a combination analgesic and inflammation relieving effect, was used to help Zoey’s arthritis. Custom holistic testing revealed Zoey had endocrine deficiencies. Custom homeopathic drops were infused for Zoey. We are happy to report the homeopathy and cold laser worked for this dog and her attitude has changed for the better. When she visits us now, you can see her spunk is back and she enjoys her visits with Twitch. Zoey’s second custom holistic test was run 6 months from the first and she was completely balanced. “Zoey's overall health has really improved since starting to see Dr. Carlson. Her fatty tissue masses have shrunk, her coat has regained its soft shiny texture and her gastro intestinal issues have stopped. We are extremely pleased with our experiences with Dr. Carlson and his staff at Grove,” said her owners Mr. & Mrs. Krieberg.
