July Pets of the Month!

Centennial Celebration!

Save the Date! Our 100^th birthday is just around the corner.

 

For the past one hundred years, Rose City Veterinary Hospital has upheld its mission to provide the highest quality medical care available to its patients. To this day, our staff remains committed to blending modern medicine with old fashioned love for each pet we see and we continue to strive for improvement in every service we offer.  Our hospital is extremely proud to have served the Portland community for the past century, but we could not have made it this far without the wonderful pets that make our city wag and purr!

 

We are excited to share this historic milestone with the public by offering an open house and celebration at the hospital?s location on SE 8th and Powell Blvd, directly before the Ross Island Bridge on the east side. The birthday celebration will be held on Sunday, July 24th, from 12pm to 4pm, and all are invited to attend. We hope you?ll join us for this once in a lifetime party!

 

Bring the whole family along and enjoy an afternoon of fun and games, including free food and drinks for vegetarians and meat lovers alike, face painting, balloon animals, door prizes, hospital tours, and a pair of llamas for petting. For your furry family members, there will be a pet costume contest and professional photos with you and your pets. Pets may come dressed in any costume, but ?Turn of the Century? pets are especially encouraged to come dressed like the guys and dolls of the early 1900s when the hospital first opened.

 

Two organizations with whom Rose City Veterinary Hospital works will be in attendance. A representative from the Portland Animal Welfare (PAW) Team will be on site to educate the public about their mission and accept pet food and supply donations. The Oregon Humane Society will be bringing several dogs available for adoption to feature at the event as well as the adoptable cat that Rose City always holds a space for. This event is free and open to the public, and we look forward to celebrating with you on July 24th!

Adopt me!

This modest and humble boy is Little Foot. The shelter environment is stressful for him, so he may be shy and timid at first. Once he is given ample time to warm up and adjust, he will make a wonderful and loving companion. He enjoys affection and attention and definitely needs his fair share! If you are patient, kind, loving, and have a quiet, easygoing home environment, Little Foot may just be the purrfect little dude for you. His history with other animals is unclear, but he seems unfazed by other kitties. Meet with him and see just how handsome he is!

The adoption fee includes spay/neuter, microchip ID, collar and OHS I.D. tag, initial vaccines, one month pet insurance, courtesy veterinarian exam, and plenty of post adoption support!

The holidays are a time for giving, but there are some things you should not share with your furry friends

Holiday Pet Hazards

While you are busy making your festive plans for Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas, please don’t forget to include your pets. The holidays are a time for giving, but there are some things you should not share with your furry friends. Once you know the hazards, a little precaution and prevention will make holidays a happy time for everyone.
Some of the more common holiday hazards include:

 

Bones:

The holiday turkey or chicken will leave a lot of tantalizing bones, but don’t feed them to your pet. Beware of steak bones, too. Small bones or bone chips can lodge in the throat, stomach, and intestinal tract.

 

Holiday plants:

Holly and mistletoe are extremely poisonous when eaten. The lovely poinsettia may not be truly poisonous but its milky white sap and leaves can certainly cause severe gastric distress. With so many hybrid varieties available each year, the best approach is to keep the plants out of your pet’s reach.

 

Electrical cords:

Holiday lights mean more electrical cords for kittens and puppies to chew. Be sure you have cords secured and out of the way.

 

Candles:

Lighted candles should never be left unattended and that is even more important if left at kitty’s eye level or within puppy’s chewing zone. An exuberant tail or a swat of a paw can turn candles and hot wax into an instant disaster. Anchor candles securely and away from curious faces and feet.

 

Pine needles:

Check around holiday trees frequently. Ingested pine needles can puncture your pet’s intestines.

 

Holiday tree:

Make sure your tree is well secured. If you have a tree-climbing cat or large dog with a happy tail, anchor the top of the tree to the wall, using strong cord or rope. Preservatives often used in the water in a tree stand can cause gastric upsets, so be sure it is inaccessible or not used. Avoid sugar and aspirin additives in the water as well.

 

Ornaments:

Sharp or breakable ornaments, dreidels, and even aluminum foil should be kept out of reach. String objects, especially tinsel and ribbons, are to be safeguarded at all costs. They are thin and sharp and can wrap around intestines or ball up in the stomach.

 

Stress and company:

With everyone coming and going, watch out for open doors and sneaky pets. Make sure your pets have updated collars and tags on in case of escape. Microchipping your pet will also help if your pet escapes. All pets should have at least two forms of id on them at all times. Ask guests to keep an eye out for pets under foot and remind them that sometimes your normally friendly dog or cat may be less than willing to deal with enthusiastic children and rooms full of unfamiliar people. Provide a special quiet place with a blanket and fresh water for your pets to retreat to when the festivities get too stressful.
