Four Paws Animal Hospital is proud to be among the 12-15% of all practices in the United States that has earned the "AAHA-accredited" designation. The American Animal Hospital Association ("AAHA") strictly evaluates practices on over 900 standards of care to make sure accredited practices are at the forefront of the profession in providing the highest quality of medical care for your pet.
After initial accreditation, practices are routinely reevaluated to make sure they maintain the stringent quality standards as the practice of veterinary medicine continues to evolve. Dental disease is the number one health issue diagnosed in dogs and cats. Bad breath and tartar are very serious signs and can lead to periodontal disease.

Preparing for a new pet
Report
For any pet, you need to pet-proof your home. Some of the top things to think about are: 1) making sure all cleaners, chemicals, medications are locked up; 2) keeping trash cans covered; 3) blocking off any small nooks animals can hide in; 4) keeping any food out of reach; and 5) making sure all cords, electrical or otherwise are out of reach and wall sockets covered.
What to Feed
Report
There are many pet food choices on the market today. Pet food is sold everywhere from grocery stores to pet and specialty stores. You can even purchase pet food online and have it shipped to your house on a regular schedule. With so many options available, picking a quality pet food for your best friend can be overwhelming.
Foods to Avoid
Report
Being knowledgeable about the most common toxins, including foods, that may harm your dog or cat can make the difference between life and death for your pet. The most important thing to remember is that if you believe your pet has ingested or come into contact with any poisonous substance, call your veterinarian immediately.
Appropriate Toys
Report
Choosing safe toys for your pet may be a daunting task, especially if you have recently gotten a new dog or cat. Toys are an important part of our pets' lives. Toys provide environmental enrichment, helping pets fight boredom on a daily basis. However, many toys also pose a safety risk for our pets.
Crate Training
Report
Allow your dog to use the bathroom and have some playtime before putting them in the crate. Work on duration in the crate. Place your dog in the crate for 15 seconds and then let them out and praise them with toys or treats. Build up to longer durations until they are comfortable being in the crate for 15 minutes.
