Featured Employee- Cyndy

Cyndy has been a team member at EVH for 7 years. One of the things I love most about working here is seeing the bond between our clients and their pets. The pets we see here truly seem to be a member of their family. I love being able to help keep these pets healthy and happy. My pets include two rambunctious labs -Poppy and Dodger - and 6 chickens who love to sleep on the dogs pillow outside.

Why Dental Care is Important

Proper dental care can detect dental disease that not only affects the mouth, but can also lead to more serious health problems such as heart, lung, and kidney disease. Good dental hygiene is just as important for pets as it is for humans. Yet, it is one of the most overlooked areas in pet health. 

Studies by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) reveal that nearly two-thirds of pet owners do not provide the dental care recommended by veterinarians. AAHA’s Dental Care Guidelines for Dogs and Cats are a working framework for small animal dentistry practice, including dental examinations, cleanings, and surgical procedures.

January Pet(s) of the Month: Mack and Squid

This month we say farewell to the Mach Dachs and Squid as they relocate to sunnier weather (Hawaii).  All of us at Edmonds Veterinary Hospital has had the pleasure of providing care to Squid, Barney, Charlie, Emma, Oliver, Oscar and Owen (and a whole brood of others) for around 30 years.  We will miss them and wish them well...and hope to see them on return visits, whenever that may be.  Best wishes and safe travel to this great family!

Sidewalk Salt and Ice Melt

As pet owners, it’s important for us to be aware of the many new safety concerns that appear in the wintertime. Sidewalk salt and ice melt are often used during the winter months and can be tracked from the streets and sidewalks to inside the house. Because these products are actually toxic for pets if consumed, it is important to always make sure your house is safe and salt-free. We recommend gently washing your pet’s feet with warm water and mild soap when they come inside to keep dangerous chemicals from being tracked through the house. We also recommend keeping your pet from licking the salt off their feet. If you’re concerned about keeping your pet safe, many home supply or hardware stores now carry pet-safe ice melt products, but remember that city trucks that sprinkle salt on the streets are always using the poisonous kind.
