Pet Insurance: Can You Afford to Wait?

By Dr. Jack Walkenhorst

August 10, 2017

In my experience as a practicing veterinarian for 35 years, I’ve found that pet insurance is one of the best investments a pet owner can make for their pet. Almost every pet will suffer a severe and costly injury or illness in his or her lifetime, and not many people have $10,000 lying around in case of an accident. Pet insurance means that a pet owner will never have to choose between optimal care for a pet and finding a way to pay for it.

Understanding Feral Cats & Taming Stray Kittens

By John Korra

September 14, 2017

Cats and kittens are commonly mistaken for being feral, meaning they have returned to their ‘wild’ instincts intended for survival, when they are actually only frightened and could thrive as a pet in a positive environment. Because of this misconception, it is vital to observe the animal’s behavior before determining how tame or feral the cat or kitten is.

As a veterinarian for 35 years, I’ve learned that almost every pet suffers a severe injury or illness in their lifetime, and few people have hundreds or thousands it might take to cover the cost. Pet insurance is one of the best investments a pet owner can make because it means never having to deny optimal care.

Pet Safety During Thanksgiving Activities

By Dr. Jack Walkenhorst

November 9, 2017

Thanksgiving is one day a year that calories don’t seem to count, but it’s important to remember that our pets can’t eat the same types of food that humans do. Large gatherings that are typical to Thanksgiving can put stress on animals if pet owners don’t plan ahead. Dr. Jack Walkenhorst discusses ways to keep pets healthy and happy during Thanksgiving activities.

Caring for Senior Pets

By Dr. Jack Walkenhorst

January 9, 2018

As pets get older, it can be challenging to know how to best care for them. Due to advances in veterinary care and improved pet nutrition, pets are living longer now than ever before. With this increase in longevity, medical conditions that are common in aging pets are being seen more frequently by both pet owners and veterinarians.
