The allergy seminar was well attended this week as we finished our 5th topic in the series. While we will not have a seminar in July due to timing and travel, the next one in August will probably be popular since the topic is behavior. I’ve done several behavior lectures before, and have found time to be the most limiting factor. We’ll be covering several topics this time, but I won’t have aggression as one of them. I have found that to be far too involved to cover in a seminar of only an hour and a half in length.
If you have a question regarding aggression, you can contact our office and we will be happy to try and help. Meanwhile, if you’d like to attend our upcoming seminars, please call the office for your reservation. Seating is limited and is filled as you call. Hope too see you there!

As I sit and write the notes for the upcoming allergy seminar, I think about the future upcoming topics. Since we have so many areas of veterinary medicine, I’ve decided to ask you what topics you would be interested in. Leave me your ideas in the comments here, and I’ll try to come up with presentations or handouts on those topics. I look forward to hearing what you’d like more info about.

I sure hope everyone had the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful weekend with your pets. It was lovely outside and cats and dogs alike will have enjoyed the fresh air. Please remember a few safety issues. All pets must be leashed in Peoria County. Cats too! A fun way for your cat to enjoy the great outdoors is to wear a harness and be under supervision. Remember that cats that go outdoors need different (additional) vaccinations than cats that don’t. All pets that go outside should be protected against fleas and ticks.
There were plenty of outdoor events this weekend. As summer goes on, remember, not all pets enjoy crowds and strangers. Keep your pet protected from the stress and think about what they will enjoy before asking them to participate. For example, fireworks are very frightening and hurt the dog’s ears, so lets not take them to the Fourth of July celebrations. Instead, they will prefer a peaceful night in and will be very understanding if they are not asked to participate.
Summer is full of fun in the sun, enjoy it safely.
