The Secret Life of Pets that are Secret

Did you see the movie, The Secret Life of Pets this summer?  It was really cute and funny.  It is still playing at the StudioMovie Grill if you are interested. We cannot verify if pets really have a secret life while you are at work all day, but we know for sure there are secret pets out there.

That’s right.  You have one pet, maybe two that has seen one of our amazing veterinarians (Hutton, Vance, Middendorf) and another pet that has not.   Maybe your secret pet never has any real health issues or they do not like going to the veterinarian or traveling anywhere.  Or perhaps one pet has issues that use up the available resources.  We get it.

But, we know that you want all of your pets to stay healthy and contribute to your family for as long as possible.  The pet exam is really the key to keeping your pet healthy long term.  The consultation and exam by the doctor tells you important information about your pet’s eyes, ears, heart, skin, organs, diet and more. It is the 1st step on the path of good pet health. So if you have a pet we have never seen, for the next two weeks, we are offering you the exam and consult service for FREE.
OFFER
Introduce us to your pet that we have never examined (or have not seen for 2 years) and we will schedule an exam and consult with one of our veterinarians at no charge to you (reg 49.90) .  Do call ASAP as Saturday and afternoon appointments have limited availability.
Offer expires September 3, 2016.

PS.  If your pet doesn’t like to travel or doesn’t like the vet, give us a call and one of our veterinarian assistants will help you with some ideas to make the process easier.  Or check out these articles:

15% Off Pet Dental Procedures in September

Pet dental health is one of the most overlooked areas of pet health maintenance.  Over half of all pets have a hidden dental problem from gum disease to loose or cracked teeth.  For the month of September, we are offering 15% off all pet dental procedures. 

For more information and video on how to care for your pet’s teeth: https://www.avma.org/public/PetCare/Pages/Pet-Dental-Care.aspx

At All Creatures we treat dental procedures like any other anesthesia procedure.  We check your pet’s blood prior to the procedure to make sure there are no hidden problems inside. (If your pet has had bloodwork in the last 60 days, this can be waived).  To make sure the procedure is safe and comfortable for your pet, we dedicate a veterinary assistant to monitor 5 of your pets vital signs during the procedure and give pain medication before and after to speed recovery.

If you don’t know the condition of your pets mouth, call us at 972-307-7400 to schedule a free dental/mouth exam for your pet.  Please mention this newsletter to receive the free exam or discounted procedure.  If we have never seen your pet before a paid full body exam and consult is required before any other services are provided.

Carrollton Veterinarian Begins Annual Pet Food Drive with a Difference

~Nov 1, 2014; Carrollton, Texas. ~ Your Thanksgiving food donation can do double duty at All Creatures Veterinary Center.  It will help people through Metrocrest Social Services and shelter dogs and cats at Operation Kindness.


All Creatures Veterinary Center in Carrollton, Texas will begin its annual Thanksgiving Food Exchange food drive on November 1, 2014. The annual exchange allows clients of All Creatures and local residents to help people and pets by matching food donations for a local food pantry with a pet food donation to a no-kill shelter.

The theme for this year's food drive is "All Creatures' Thanksgiving Food Exchange - You Help People, We Help Pets".

All Creatures invites its clients and local residents to bring in human food or pet food donations (many pantry clients have pets) for Metrocrest Social Services. The cans of corn, jars of peanut butter and boxes of cereal are weighed on the pet scale in the All Creatures lobby and a chart is updated showing the weight of all the donations.

All of the food donations are taken to Metrocrest Social Services at the end of November. Then in December, All Creatures; with the help of the pet food makers; will donate an equal amount (in pounds*) of Hill’s®, Royal Canin, and Purina Pet Food to Operation Kindness – the no-kill animal shelter in Carrollton, Texas.

The goal of the Food Exchange this year is to collect and donate 1000 lbs. of food. So even if you aren’t one of our clients, feel free to bring your food donations to All Creatures Veterinary Center at 6153 Windhaven Pkwy, Plano 75093. (NW corner of Windhaven and Communications Pkwy). Your human food donation will do double duty by helping the cats and dogs at Operation Kindness. www.operationkindness.org

A list of commonly needed items from Metrocrest’s web site: Peanut butter, Canned fruit, Mac & Cheese, Flavored rice & pasta “helpers” & “ronis”, Breakfast Cereal.  www.metrocrestservices.org

All Creatures Center is a full service animal hospital that includes a first class pet hotel - dog and cat boarding facility.  The doctors and staff at All Creatures can assit with any sick pet issues, spay or neuter surgery, and diagnostic testing.  All Creatures offers convenient preventive care packages to assist with annual pet wellness care.  www.allcreaturesonline.com
