January Pet of the Month
Fitz is our January pet of the month! Fitz is a 2 year old Yorkipoo who is very scared of what people might do to him, particularly if they are not part of his family. Since he is so small, he feels his only defense is to bite, so he is unable to go to […]
The Jumping Dog
One of the most common behavior issues we see with young puppies is their propensity to jump on people! They’re just so excited! They want to hug you, and kiss you, and get that treat in your hand. The only problem is that when they get big it won’t be cute, and it might actually […]
November Pet of the Month
Bella is a happy and lovable 12-year-old Labrador Retriever mix who, like most Labs, was extremely active and playful in her youth.

Dogs are excellent at hiding signs of discomfort from this, and certainly don’t stop eating because of it. So it can be impossible to know that […]

Pogo came to see us because his owner noticed his left eye had been watering for about 3 days and had progressively gotten worse. He presented with a goopy cloudy left eye and Dr. Sappington suggested to do a Fluorsecein eye stain to be able to determine what was wrong. Dr. Sappington found that he […]
May Pet of the Month
Last November, one of our clients took their dog, Dakota, on a hunting trip in Stockton, KS. Miss Dakota was running 30 yards out in front of her owner and other hunters at a full stride when they heard the most horrendous wailing he had ever heard in his lifetime of hunting and field work […]
