This page started as a list of links we keep sharing with clients — where to check a pet health question, where to look for a lost pet in Platte County, and which local organizations we work with. Over time, the front desk started adding things of their own, and we decided to let them.
Pet Health & Care
These are the references our veterinarians and technicians point clients to most often.
- American Veterinary Medical Association — finding a vet, pet care guides, and the latest in veterinary medicine.
- CDC Parasites — heartworm and other parasites explained in plain language.
- Pet Poison Helpline — for the 2 a.m. "I think he ate something" calls.
- ASPCA — everyday care guides on feeding, grooming, and behavior.
- Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services — state animal health information, including rabies requirements for dogs and cats in Platte County.
Around Kansas City
Local organizations we work with, and a couple of our own pages that come up a lot.
- Humane Society of Greater Kansas City — adoption, behavior counseling, and pet assistance programs.
- Kansas City Pet Project — pet food and supply assistance for Kansas City families.
- Our Lost & Found Pets page — where we post sightings and recoveries for the county.
- The Pet Boutique — food, treats, and supplies, right here at the clinic.
From Our Front Desk
One more list, this one unofficial. Karen, one of our client coordinators, has spent the past year deep in Richard Mille replica territory — the tonneau case, the skeleton dials, the whole thing — and she keeps her running notes, including the shop that finally delivered on her search, in our off-duty notes. If you've ever wondered how people end up in this rabbit hole, start there.
Have a resource we should add? Send us a note and we'll take a look.
