How many of us have come home to find that our beloved dog has destroyed the sofa cushions or worse, chewed up your favorite pair of shoes. This may be due to a problem called separation anxiety. Separation anxiety (SA) is actually one of the most common behavioral problems seen in dogs. Not only can SA manifest as destructive chewing behavior but dogs with SA may bark, howl, dig, or urinate and defecate in the house when left alone.

What is leptospirosis?

Leptospirosis is caused by bacterial organisms called Leptospira which is spread via the urine of infected animals. These bacteria can be shed in the soil and water which can then serve as a source of infection for dogs.

We asked our employees at each of our 53 locations to participate in a company wide employee photo contest. We've seen some of the great photos they take on a daily basis for our Best Friends Photo Program, so we knew they were going to blow us away with their entries. And that they did. We received everything from photos of dogs running and playing to pets playing doctor! See for yourself in this video compilation.

With a growing company of over 50 pet care and veterinary centers, we think it's important to recognize each and every location as a valued and unique member of our Best Friends family. That's why we'd like to introduce the Best Friends Spotlight Series here on our Dog Dish blog where we will celebrate the unique attributes and staff from each of our locations.

To kick it off, we'd like to introduce Phoenix Veterinary Hospital as the newest addition to the Best Friends Total Pet Care family.
