More pets are euthanized on an annual basis across the country due to behavioral problems than medical problems. This is very sad. Doctors and members of our staff have been trained to assist you in behavioral training, from in-clinic help to outside resources, including contacts for very good trainers in the area who can be a wonderful resource for you and your pet.
Sometimes behavioral problems have medical solutions, but more often they have behavioral-modification solutions. We can design a treatment plan to help with your present situation.
Marshall, Dr. Ryan & Jenn's dog, came to them as a very friendly but very undisciplined 3yo. Working with Bruce Maldonado of Colossal K9 produced a wonderfully trained, very well-behaved boy and he's a favorite of the CFVC team. He's trained many of our patients in recent years, and we've collaborated to help many dogs in their homes and at their visits with us.
While we are not a full-service grooming facility, we do provide bathing for the dogs that are just a bit too difficult to bathe and/or adequately dry at home. A day’s stay with us will ensure you’ll take your dog home smelling fresh and feeling fine.
Education Services - The best way to have owners who are equipped and ready to provide the best care for their pets at home is for them to be as informed as possible. Further, the best way to have the next generation of veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and veterinary assistants excited about veterinary medicine is to expose today’s students to veterinary medicine under the guidance of skilled veterinary professionals. We love to teach and share the details of our job with others. If you would like for one of our doctors to speak at your Career Day, or if you would like to schedule a tour of the clinic for a Boy Scout Troop or Pioneer Club, give us a call during regular business hours and we'll be happy to make arrangements.
Breed Counseling - Having trouble deciding which breed of dog with which to spend the next portion of your life? Please don't turn to TikTok. The doctors and staff are trained and experienced with helping pet owners to determine which breed would be a great fit for them.
The quickest way for your lost pet to be returned to you is to have a tag on his/her collar displaying your contact information. But cats and dogs can slip out of their collars, if a collar is applied in the first place. In this event, a microchip (no bigger than a grain of rice) implanted under the skin of your pet with your contact information digitally stored on the chip can help return your pet to you in a timely fashion. More and more veterinary clinics, shelters and pounds are scanning lost pets to search for identification. We implant Home Again® microchips and register your contact information so your pet can be immediately enrolled.
