My boots are made for walking

December 24, 2017 by Liberty Vet Leave a Comment

I cannot speak for all my furry friends out there, but I love the cold!  There is nothing better than a cold wind blowing on my face.  Well, at least if it isn’t like -10 out there, I mean I have my limits too.  What I mean to say is, your pets get cold just like you do, and shouldn’t be outside for extended times when the temperatures drop below freezing.  We have fur, but it can’t keep us warm in severe temperatures.  So, you have permission to dress us up in cute coats; though we hate to admit it, we need those too.

For any furry friends that live outside, please make sure they have a wind proof dog house to shelter them from the bitter cold.  When the temperature drops to 27 degrees during the day and 10 degrees at night, bring your pets into a garage or shelter with a higher temperature. Their food dishes should be plastic, and water checked regularly to make sure it didn’t freeze.  And since staying warm takes energy, they will need slightly more food during the colder months. 

One more thing, watch out for the salt and other chemicals used to melt the ice.  It can irritate our paws and if we lick it, it could make us sick. So, be sure to wipe your pet’s paws when coming in from outside.  And from personal experience, I know there are boots out there you can put on us to protect our paws too.  My mom just laughed at me when I first got mine, but the joke was on her to have to put them on me all time.

For any other winter weather tips, be sure to go to libertyvet.net. And from all of us here at LVH, have a safe and happy holiday! Next week, crossword fun with winter tips.

Received estimate ahead of time for Boarding, special handling, medication, extra playtime with staff ahead of time; I chose services I wanted; actual cost was in the middle – first time a very old, sick cat was boarded and they did an excellent job. They’ve cared for him his whole life.

Dr. Collins, her associates and the vet techs are the best I have experienced with taking care of my four legged family members. I have known Dr. Collins since Liberty opened. She is highly ethical and cares for our family’s health.

On this visit our two dogs were due for a vaccination. The vet tech was friendly and gentle with our dogs and they were comfortable and unafraid. The vet tech spent all the time needed to answer my questions and I asked if they could also have their nails trimmed. I forgot to ask at the time I made the appointment but the tech said it was no problem and she trimmed their nails.  We have taken our dogs and rabbits to Liberty Vet for years. The staff is very friendly and professional and knows us and our pets by name. We trust Liberty Vet for our dogs health care and boarding needs. I would highly recommend Liberty Vet as your primary vet for care and boarding of your pets.

We had one of our dogs' teeth cleaned. We've had several vet visits and grooming done here also.  The teeth cleaning went great. Our dog had to have one tooth pulled, and I thought the price was very reasonable. Having lived with these dogs in two other states, I think Liberty Vet provides a great service at a reasonable price.

They treated my cat for a megacolon problem and he had multiple x-rays, IV, medicines, blood work and hospital stays. He had to stay over night.  They took really good care of my cat. The staff both front and back are wonderful people to talk with and answer your questions. They are very courteous and professional. They went out of their way to make my cat feel comfortable.

Surgery for my mini-schnauzer on her kidney stones and blockage. Also cleaning and fixing her teeth.  Very caring. Kept her before the surgery when she became very ill and cured her before doing anything else. They kept me up to date along the way. Calling many times during the day. Very good follow up and let me know how to prevent the problem from happening again.

We have been going to Liberty Veterinary Clinic for 17+ years. Even though we have moved 3 times we now literally pass another clinic around the corner to drive 30 minutes to Liberty. They are that good. We have taken our dog, Sidney, to Liberty from his first puppy check up to every vaccination and ear infection up to the very end. It was an extremely hard decision to have to put our Sid to sleep, but they handled it with such care, compassion and respect we will be forever grateful. You could not do better for your pet than Liberty Veterinary Clinic. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Dr. Collins, I just wanted to thank you so much for the care you and your team gave my dog, Bachelor, during his final months. You always took the time to explain his condition and what options we had. After the difficult decision was made to put him to rest, I asked your recommendation about my surviving dog, Roxy. Your advice was outstanding. …..She was there when he went down and came over to him after he passed. She sniffed him and seemed to understand that he was no longer living. …..We just can’t thank you enough for everything you and your terrific staff did for us during that difficult afternoon. And thanks so much for the Clay Paw and card. It truly means a lot.

I have been going to Liberty Vet since the day they opened. They are the most caring people I have ever dealt with. We boarded our diabetic cat there for over 12 years when we went on vacation. I never worried about Maggie May in their care (Thank You Nick). She lived to 16 and our 17 year old cat goes there. The one thing I like is that it is quiet when you walk in. You do not hear dogs barking nor the smell that other places have. Highly recommend.

Liberty Veterinary Clinic is absolutely the best I have been to. I currently take my three cats there and they treat them with such care. It is very clean, and all the staff are very friendly. You have a very short wait time and they get you into a private room for you and your pet immediately. The nurses and doctor all come from the back areas and are all very well informed in all areas of animals. I was so pleased.  The pricing wasn't that bad either, not higher or lower than what I paid in other locations.  For the Intelligence of the staff, the privacy of the rooms for my animals, it was well worth it and I will be back for years to come with all my animals.

The staff of Liberty Veterinary Hospital is great! And the rapport is just what I wanted. If there had been none, then I might not have kept them as my dogs' doctors. They give options for their care and procedures. Only once was I upset when a previous doctor was working there and is not any longer. I was fortunate to have been at the "Open House" when it originated and just love the doctors' concern for pets. Dr. Collins, as well as Dr. Johnstone, are compassionate about animals as if they were their own. I've been with them since the beginning.
