Our Holiday Open House!

Hi,

It’s me again.

   I promised to tell you some pretty cool stories and you’re going to love this one!

   Last month we had our Open House here at Laguna Hills Animal Hospital!

      We've done our Santa Photos every year for the last nine years, but this was our second year hosting our Open House. And wow, was it a success!

   For us, it’s a wonderful opportunity to invite all of you to tour our Hospital and get to know our Doctors and Staff! And it's a great chance for us to say “Thank You” to all of our Patients and Clients.

   This event also helps our Pets In Need Charity Fund. All proceeds from our Santa Photos ,Bake Sale, Raffle Baskets, Silent Auctions and generous donations from our Clients go into our fund.

     The Pets In Need Fund was started twelve years ago, by one of our Client’s daughter’s. Out of the goodness of her heart, Jenna would sit outside at a card table with plates of cookies, raising money for needy pets. What she started years ago,has become our main event here at The Hospital.

   Dr. Acton makes it even more successful, by matching every dollar we make! 

         

  I had so much fun! I saw Santa and I even had my portrait drawn by a local artist that attended our event!

   If you weren’t here to celebrate our event with us, the best way for me show you how amazing it was, is to invite you to watch the video link below:

Thank you and enjoy!

Hi,

 It’s “Speck”, here.

  My Mommy  has worked at Laguna Hills Animal Hospital, for quite a while and I come to work with her each day.

  I see a lot of pretty cool things while I’m here. And now, thanks to Angie, our office administrator; I’ll be the new Blogger for our Hospital.  And I couldn’t be happier about that!

I may only be a four pound Chihuahua, but I have a lot to say!

  Some pretty inspiring things happen here at our Hospital, and I’m thrilled for the opportunity to tell you all about them.

We have some pretty amazing Doctors, a great staff, and some very special Patients and Clients.

  In these Blog Postings; I, along with some “Guest Bloggers”, will be the voice for other  Patients like me.  And I promise to do my best to translate their experiences here at our Hospital, vividly for you.

In the weeks to come, I look forward to telling you all many stories….

 Happy stories, funny stories, and sometimes very emotional ones.

 But I promise to always leave a smile on your faces.

 So join me for a glance into our everyday lives here at Laguna Hills Animal Hospital, and also into the lives of the wonderful animals and people we care for. 

Speaking for all of us here, it is both a privilege, and a pleasure being a part of all of your lives.

See you next week,

-Speck

Dental vaccine discontinued

Unfortunately, the manufacturer decided to stop producing this vaccine in 2011. It was not unsafe, rather no longer economical for the company. We are disappointed but will keep everyone posted if it becomes available again. Dr. Acton

Pierce Brosnan designed the artwork and 100% of the money raised goes to help the pets in need...we support the effort. Dr. Acton

INTRODUCTIONS are in order.

We are very proud to introduce our new hospital manager, Angie Ziegler.

Angie is a licensed R.V.T. (Registered Veterinary Technician) and has been working at Laguna Hills Animal Hospital since 2006. She has continuously worked as a technician and veterinary hospital manager in the Orange County area since 1992.

Nicole is leaving us to pursue another interest, as the Orange County representative for MWI, a large medical supply company. We wish her well and will miss her.

A New Canine Cancer Screening Blood Test is Now Available!

Two forms of cancer (hemangiosarcoma and lymphoma) can now be diagnosed with a blood test. Early detection always gives us the advantage over the cancer. We recommend this test for all older dogs but especially certain large breeds, such as Shepherds, Retrievers, and Boxers (more prone to these cancers). Schedule an appointment with your veterinarian today to have your dog tested.

Canine Giardia Vaccine Backordered

News Bulletin!

The canine Giardia vaccine is currently on backorder.

What does this mean for your dog? We still have a limited supply of the vaccine left, so we will continue vaccinating dogs that are boarding with us and “at risk” dogs needing their vaccine booster. If your pet were to contract the disease it is treatable so there is no need to worry.
We will let everyone know if this vaccine becomes available again.
