A recent nationwide study found that nearly 1 in 6 veterinary professionals reported thoughts of self-harm in the previous year, and more than 40% experienced serious distress. These numbers are more than statistics — they are a call to action.

This Su***de Prevention Month, let’s continue breaking the stigma, talking openly, and supporting one another in veterinary medicine. 🫶🏻

If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone. Call or text the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline at 988 for support.

Do you need a new furry friend in your life?? We have 3 that need homes asap. All 3 are young, healthy, love attention and need someone to love them back. All are around one year old, have been spayed/neutered and current on vaccines. Please share and call if you are interested. As much as we would love to continue to keep them until they find a home, we are not a shelter and can only hold on to them for so long.

A common field one day. A field of honor forever.

On Tuesday morning, September 11, 2001, the U.S. came under attack when four commercial airliners were hijacked and used to strike targets on the ground. Nearly 3,000 people tragically lost their lives. Because of the actions of the 40 passengers and crew aboard one of the planes over Pennsylvania, Flight 93, further attacks were thwarted.

Join us for a day of remembrance at Flight 93 National Memorial or a national day of service by volunteering at a national park.

PET FOOD ALERT: Following up on a case of H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in a cat, testing performed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, state and local public health and agriculture partners, and federal partners suggests a link between the strain of H5N1 virus detected in the cat and in certain lots of RAWR Raw Cat Food Chicken Eats, a product the cat consumed before falling ill.

UPDATE:
Good afternoon, it appears the intention of this post was misunderstood. The intention of this post was to inform our clients that a new stone was found and could be linked to a certain compound ( choline bitartrate). This compound is found in supplements as well as some foods. It was not intended to make it sound like a common issue or a reason for you to switch your pet's food without talking with your veterinarian. Thank you for all who kindly commented, clearing up some of these concerns. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to us or your family veterinarian.

BREAKING NEWS -- use caution when feeding your dog fresh food from brands such as The Farmers Dog, JustFoodForDogs and Nom Nom⚠️

The University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine Urolith Center has discovered a NEW urinary stone and the likely cause🔬
The UMN Urolith Center is the laboratory we use for all bladder stone analysis that are conducted for HAH patients and we recently received notification of this new information.

These new stones are called "calcium tartrate tetrahydrate" (CTT) uroliths according to Dr. Lulich (co-director of UMN Urolith Center). Canine patients get "choline bitartrate" (the main compound in CTT uroliths) from fresh dog food and supplements recommended for dogs that eat homemade food.
The data collected by Dr. Lulich and his team showed a link between choline bitartrate found in some of the most popular fresh dog food brands -- including The Farmers Dog, JustFoodForDogs and Nom Nom -- and the newly discovered CTT uroliths.

This discovery was published in April 2025 in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine.
