Ask Hopeful Henry: Why cats lose weight
Submitted by admin on Fri, 08/12/2016 - 7:01amDear Hopeful Henry,
I have a 15 year old cat who has started losing weight and is just not that interested in food (except for turkey sandwich meat). We have been to the vet and basically he is just old. He still cuddles and plays and uses his litter box so I really don’t want to have to put him down yet. Do you have any suggestions that might encourage his eating?
Thank you,

Submitted by paula on Mon, 03/28/2016 - 8:15amPoison Prevention Week just wrapped up, but the message is always important. The week is a campaign over 50 years old. Every year, we are urged to take notice of the chemicals in our lives that are dangerous. While much of the effort is spent on parents of young children, pets are likewise vulnerable to poisoning. In many instances, pets are MORE prone to poisoning, since we may not be wary of foods or plants that we have no problem with but are toxic to animals.

Hopeful Henry: Spaying and neutering your pets saves lives
Submitted by paula on Tue, 02/23/2016 - 8:22amIn honor of World Spay Day I wanted to share some myths and facts regarding spaying or neutering your pets with the hope it will encourage you to make the correct decision and have your furry family members spayed or neutered (females get spayed and males get neutered).
MYTH: It's better to have one litter before spaying a female pet.

Hopeful Henry: Be a responsible pet owner
Submitted by paula on Mon, 02/15/2016 - 10:09pmAsk Henry:
It’s Responsible Pet Owners Month so I wanted to share my top ten things you need to do to be a responsible pet owner.
1) Being a responsible pet owner starts before you even get a pet. Make sure you pick a breed that fits with your lifestyle. Do you live in an apartment? If so I wouldn’t rush out and get a Great Dane. Always consider adopting from a shelter, there are so many animals looking for their forever homes. If you must go with a breeder make sure they are reputable!
Hopeful Henry: What to do when you find, or lose, a pet
Submitted by paula on Wed, 02/03/2016 - 8:39amWith lots of snow we are getting lots of visitors to the slopes around the basin, and a lot of these visitors bring their dogs to enjoy the vacation with the family. Sadly some of these pups get lost which is extra stressful as they are not in a familiar location. We recently have had two visiting dogs who went missing for over a week, one was found, injured but is going to be okay, while the other was found but the extreme outside conditions got the better of his and sadly he passed the night he was found.
Ask Hopeful Henry: Silly or Serious?
Submitted by paula on Fri, 01/22/2016 - 3:49pmDear Henry,
Just curious, my cat has started sticking his tongue out, I mean a lot. He will just sit and stick his tongue out at me. It’s cute but should I be concerned?
Thanks,
Arnold
Dear Arnold.
I’m actually glad you brought this up. While yes it’s cute, I had a kitty with this habit. While some cats just do this for no apparent reason my concern with your kitty is that it is new behavior. If you cat was doing this its whole life and your veterinarian had seen no signs of trouble then I would say you just have a silly kitty.

Vets warn of dog exposure to marijuana edibles
