How to Give Your Cat Medication

Cats are the worst to medicate! They are very sensitive around their mouths and have claws that can really hurt you. Even the nicest cat may growl at you.

Why is Vet Care So Expensive?

“You value profits over my pet’s life.” “You don’t care if my pet lives or dies, you just want the money.” “Your prices are absurd; your prices are too high; who can afford treatment like this?” We have heard it all and have only been open for 1.5 years in the Denver Metro Area. People are ruthless. No matter how much emotion or empathy you show as a veterinary professional, it is never good enough. It’s no wonder vets have an extremely high suicide rate.

How to Brush Your Long-Haired Cat

A long-haired cat is not easy to care for. Many families are not educated on the grooming that is required for a long-haired cat when they purchase a cat from a breeder or adopt from a shelter. It is essential to start training your cat to be groomed as soon as possible. Grooming is one of the most essential parts of animal care and health and can save you thousands of dollars in vet bills.

How to Give Your Dog Medication

Medicating a dog can be tough, especially a sick one. It is hard to medicate a dog who doesn’t want to eat or could potentially become aggressive. And many times after a visit to the Emergency Vet, you will go home with more than one medication for your dog, how stressful!

Breakaway Collars for Cats

Whether your feline friends are indoor, outdoor, or a combination of the two, at least one form of permanent identification is imperative for their safety. Forms of permanent identification include microchips, which can be scanned at your local animal shelter or veterinary hospital and linked to your contact information. In addition to these permanent forms of identification, collars with tags containing your contact information can be essential to ensuring a safe and speedy return in the event that your cat gets lost outside of your home.

Ordering Pet Prescriptions Online

In this day and age, ordering online is the norm. From toys to crates to prescriptions, pet parents can have any of it delivered to their doorstep. There are plenty of safe pet pharmacies online, such as ours (see the top right-hand corner button). However, many discount pet prescription sites are known for untrustworthy practices.

Grooming Techniques for Dogs

Grooming is one of the most essential parts of animal care and health. Hygiene is extremely important for our canine friends too. The amount of maintenance required each day depends on the breed of dog, so keep this in mind when choosing a new member of the family.

Foreign Bodies: When Should You Be Worried?

A sewing needle, socks, string, hair ties, a metal ball, rawhide, rocks, carpet, toys, bones, corn cobs—the list is endless. We have seen pets come into the emergency room who have ingested all of these things and more! Foreign bodies are one of the most common cases we see at Evolution Vet.

Does Your Dog Need to Go to the ER After a Dog Fight?

One of your worst fears as a dog owner is that your dog will be hurt by another dog. It is so hard to trust other people’s dogs, and, sometimes, even your own. Reactive dogs can show very subtle behavioral signs of aggression, and an unexpected fight could break out in seconds. The best thing you can do for your dog is to go on trusted playdates and avoid the dog park, but accidents can even happen at home!
