The animals we bring into our lives are more than just pets, they are companions who trust us with their care and in return they give their loyalty and friendship. They never judge us and the love they show is true, everlasting and without contempt. It is both an honor and a huge responsibility to enter into the Veterinary profession and play such an important role in supporting this human-animal bond. We focus our efforts into becoming lifelong partners with our clients. Our mission is working to achieve the best quality of life for both the animals and their human counterparts. At the Veterinary Healing Centers we offer a unique style of integrative veterinary practice allowing us to utilize western,

eastern and holistic styles of medicine to optimize the health of our animal companions. Our doctors have all achieved the advanced degree of Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist. We offer a wide range of services including internal medicine, surgery, dentistry, dermatology, emergency medicine, geriatrics, radiology and ultrasound. In addition, our veterinarians and staff are skilled in acupuncture, herbal therapy, laser therapy, nutrition and other holistic methods of treatment. Combining all of these various forms of veterinary medicine enables our doctors to practice with a truly integrative approach. Evolving from physicians into healers is our vision and our motto is our mantra. “Hands that Heal….Hearts that Care”

eady to hit the road with your pet? Before you go, you have a lot to consider. “Anxiety is the biggest hurdle,” says Dr. Brad Cahoon, DVM, CVA, and owner of Veterinary Healing Center of El Dorado Hills and Folsom, who suggests exposing the pet to things she’ll experience while traveling, such as being in a crate or being around new people and environments. “Many animals just don’t like traveling in planes, trains and automobiles,” says Bob Campbell, owner of sBarkles, a do-it-yourself dog wash store with holistic, healthy dog and cat food in Folsom, who recommends a product called Rescue Remedy for Pets as a “natural stress relief.” The most important thing to remember when traveling with pets—whether camping, going to the beach or to the city—is planning ahead with your itinerary in mind. “Stopping for dinner? Where will Fido stay while you eat?” asks Jason Davis, The Dog Guy® of Folsom Dog Resort and Training Center. “One of the biggest challenges is being able to do the things you want to do with your pets [there],” says Karen Petree of Happy Feet Pet Sitting, noting that while many hotels and restaurants are becoming pet friendly, not all venues are suitable for them. “While on a recent trip to Florida, I noticed some boardwalks and beaches weren’t pet friendly,” she says. “Who will watch your dog while you do go somewhere that isn’t pet friendly?” Other pet owners can be great resources when it comes to getting advice and travel recommendations. “When traveling with dogs, people really need to research where they’re going,” says Erin Selover, owner of Wagger’s Pet Spa in Folsom, who recommends checking websites like bringfido.com to find petfriendly stops on your trip. Selover, who often travels with her golden retriever Jolie, also reminds pet owners to know their dog’s behavior. “If the dog is not socialized with other pets, that can be a problem,” she says.

Road Trip Tips

Roseville 916-771-0202 classickennels.org

IF A ROAD TRIP IS YOUR PLAN, HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.

TAKE TEST DRIVES Get your dog used to being in the car, especially if your pet is a skittish traveler. “By taking smaller trips and continually rewarding and reinforcing good behaviors, your pet will eventually associate trips in the car with a fun, positive and rewarding time,” says Campbell. “Utilizing a special treat that they normally don’t receive can be of assistance in these instances as well.”

Doubletree Pet Resort Folsom 916-987-3586 doubletreepetresort. com

PACK THE RIGHT SUPPLIES

El Dorado Pet Club Shingle Springs 530-676-4442 eldoradopetclub.com

Fill a bag with essentials for your pet. Selover recommends a travel bowl, toys, food and water. Also, “make sure there is adequate space in the vehicle for Fido to travel comfortably,” Davis says.

Green Valley Pets El Dorado Hills 916-529-5930 greenvalleypets.org

Folsom Dog Resort

DON’T LEAVE PETS INSIDE THE CAR UNATTENDED When you exit the vehicle, so does your pet. “Be aware that you can’t leave a dog in the car when it’s over 70 degrees,” says Selover. “Heat can kill.” Remember to take frequent potty breaks, too. “Keep your pet hydrated before and during travel,” Dr. Cahoon urges.

BE SAFE

Keep your pet safe while you travel. “There are terrific harness systems available for dogs at both ezydog.com and kurgo. com,” says Campbell. “These companies are really, really good at designing products like harnesses and barriers that work in almost all automobiles.” The Humane Society of the United States urges drivers to use restraints so pets don’t roam in the car, and don’t let your pet sit in the front seat, where they could be injured if the air bag deploys. Allowing your pet to ride in an open truck bed is also a no-no.

FEND OFF PESTS “Make sure your dog is current on flea and tick medicine when traveling,” says Selover, who recommends keeping your dog out of brushy areas (where pests are abundant) and inspecting the pet’s coat thoroughly for fleas and ticks.

Air Travel Tricks

FLYING TO YOUR DESTINATION? HERE ARE FIVE TIPS TO HELP YOU AND YOUR PET NAVIGATE THE SKIES.

BOOK EARLY “Book flights early because there is a limit for how many pets can travel on one flight,” says Davis, noting ticket prices for a pet “can cost anywhere from $125-$200 per ‘seat’”—whether or not the dog is flying freight or in the cabin. Davis says smaller dogs are typically allowed

inside the cabin, while larger pets are considered cargo and travel in a crate with the luggage.

BE IN THE KNOW

“Flights are often delayed or canceled during the travel season,” says Davis. “Make sure you have talked to the airline and understand what will happen with Fido in the event your flight is delayed or canceled.”

UPDATE YOUR CONTACT INFO The Humane Society recommends traveling with a current photo of your pet. They also suggest labeling the pet’s carrier with your name, permanent address, phone number, travel destination, and where you can be reached when the flight arrives.

FLY DIRECT

Opt for direct flights if you can, which can minimize the travel time for you and your pet. What’s more, direct flights minimize the likelihood of delays since you’re not waiting for connecting flights.

KEEP UPTO-DATE RECORDS “No matter which mode of travel, be sure to get the necessary copies of your pet’s vaccination records,” Davis says.

CONSIDERING LEAVING YOUR PET AT HOME WITH A LOVED ONE OR AT A PET CARE FACILITY? HERE’S WHAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER.

LEAVE PETS WITH MOBILITY ISSUES AT HOME Don’t travel with pets who “don’t move around well or have medical conditions,” Dr. Cahoon says.

RESEARCH THE FACILITY AND STAFF If your pet will be boarded at a pet care facility while you’re away, make sure the space and staff meet high standards. Take a tour and get to know the staff before you book your pet’s stay. “Ask about the staff’s training and make sure you can trust the company,” says Davis, who advises making sure the facility “is insured and has a good safety record.”

Joie De Vivre (boutique,

luxury hotels in California, Florida, Scottsdale, Chicago and Honolulu) welcome pets at 20 of their properties; furry friends are greeted with organic beds, water bowls, treats and more.

ROUTINE

Pets thrive on routines, so staying at home might be a comfort for your dog. “They won’t have the stress of going to an unfamiliar place, such as a boarding facility, if they are left in the comfort of their own home,” Petree says.

CONSIDER HIRING A SITTER

If you don’t know someone who will stay with or check in on your pet, hire a pet sitter. “Many pet sitters are very flexible, and some will spend the night in your home if that is your wish while traveling,” says Campbell. “Some will simply come twice a day to feed/water your pet and ensure they’re safe.” Make sure the pet knows (or has at least met) the sitter to safeguard that they’ll be comfortable.
