New Hartford Animal Hospital offers homecare services provided by Dr. Abby Regner. These services will allow you and your pet stress-free and convenient at-home veterinary wellness care.
Dogs and cats need regular veterinary care to help them enjoy happy and healthy lives. At New Hartford Animal Hospital, we recommend annual or biannual exams for dogs and cats depending on health related concerns and their age. During your pet’s annual or bi-annual physical, we perform a comprehensive examination to look for signs of health problems so we can treat and manage them early on. Early detection is key to a long healthy life for your companion. We also discuss additional preventive care and provide counseling to ensure you and your pet will continue to enjoy a healthy and rewarding relationship with each other.

How to choose the right pet treats
Some pet owners may not give much thought to the size of a treat or toy they are buying for their pet. While most treats are fine for pets, buying the wrong type or size of treat can be fatal if the treat or toy is swallowed and becomes lodged inside your pet. It is estimated that Americans will spend over $52 million dollars on their pets in 2012.Of that, many dollars will go towards treats, snacks and toys for pets to enjoy. Picking the wrong ones could be hazardous to your pet and cost you a great deal of money in the long run.
Give your pet toys and treats that they cannot swallow. Some toys and treats are labeled in size but just because something is labeled "medium" doesn't mean it is right for a medium sized dog. Keep this in mind when choosing toys or treats and if you are not sure, ask your veterinarian for a recommendation. Some toys and treats are better than others so you might be better off if you ask a professional.
Also, keep track of your pet's treats and toys. If you think that one could be missing behind the couch, check to be sure. Sometimes pets can become internally obstructed from small objects like toys and treats. In extreme circumstances, a pet might need major surgery to remove the obstruction.
In addition, all pet owners should be aware of recalls on products that could be dangerous to their pet if consumed. There have been several recalls of pet food and pet treats already this year. If your pet has eaten a toy or treat and then shows signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or weight loss you should have them checked out by your veterinarian.
Some simple tips that might help when choosing a pet’s toy or treat:
•Talk to your vet erinarian about the best size treats and toys to buy
• Make sure the treat or toy can’t be swallowed in one piece
• Be aware of toys and treats like rawhide that can splinter and get lodged in the throat
As a pet owner, it always best to be informed and vigilant just as you would with any family member.
