Dear Reid, On behalf of myself, Dr. Henderson and the staff of Alta Rancho Pet Hospital, I would like to wish you all a happy and healthy new year. We hope that your holidays were safe and joyous. As the new year begins, we are making a commitment to give you our very best year of service yet. Towards that end, we will be sending e-mail newsletters periodically to help keep you abreast of recent developments at our practice and in the pet health field. Please feel free to e-mail or call with any questions or suggestions you might have that can help us serve you better. Sincerely, Reid Shufer,D.V.M. Chief of Staff | New Technology Allows Early Glaucoma Detection |  | Glaucoma is an insideous disease that can blind a pet in a matter of days to weeks. In order to help prevent glaucoma in our patients, we have invested in a sophisticated diagnostic tool called the Tono-vet. This device can detect glaucoma in a matter of seconds without any need for sedation in most pets. We encourage you to have your pet screened during your next visit. |
| Keep your pet smiling during National Pet Dental Health Month! |  | As you may know, dental disease is one of the most common problems that pets over 3 years of age face. Periodontal disease develops gradually and slowly eats away at your pets' teeth and their surrounding bone. Without intervention, it is not uncommon to have to extract teeth in pets as young as 3 . We recommend yearly dental cleaning combined with a home care program to help keep your pets smiling. Details can be found on our website by clicking the link below. February is National Pet Dental Health Month and we want to help you celebrate it with outstanding savings on dental health care! We are offering free dental evaluation by our trained technicians during February and March. If your pet needs dental work, you can print out the accompanying coupon and bring it with you when you schedule your pet's dental cleaning procedure. Call today to schedule your free appointment with one of our veterinary technicians today! |
| Microchips could save your pet's life, It did for Scouty! |  | Microchip identification is one of the best things you can do to ensure your pet's safety. Just last month, Dr. Henderson's old dog Scout, who is living on a farm with her friend in Missouri got out of the pasture and was missing for a number of days. We received a call from AVID's national database registry letting us know that Scout had been found about 20 miles away and taken to a local shelter. The shelter scanned Scout for a microchip and found his between his shoulder blades. With his ID number in hand, it was just a few phone calls before Scout was back on the farm chasing the horses. This true story is just one of thousands that show the true value of microchip identification. We urge you to have your pet "chipped" today. The procedure is painless and takes just a few minutes to perform. No sedation or anesthesia is required. The microchip is functional the minute it is placed under your pet's skin. Use the coupon below to make this vital service even more affordable than it already is. |
