We’d like to let you know about a fabulous Rescue Group in Florida called Florida Dachshund Rescue. We work with their foster volunteers, and anyone who fosters or adopts a Dachshund through this group can call us for special Dachshund Group pricing.
Here’s what Donna has to say about Maddie, a great old Dachshund we fixed up so her senior mom, Doris could adopt her:
I want to thank you…from the bottom of my heart for helping us find this little dog for my mom. They hit it off immediately. Last night Maddie laid on a dog bed in the room with mom while she watched TV. She slept on the floor next to the bed and has been following mom around all day long. It is the cutest thing to see the little dog toddling along behing Mom and her walker. Mom loves to talk to her and Maddie loves to listen. They are truly meant to be together. Thank you so, so much. If there’s anything I can do to help your rescue program, please let me know.
All the best,
Donna
Florida Dachshund Rescue, Inc., is a not for profit dachshund rescue organization active since 2003 in Florida and several other Southeastern US states. They can be found on the internet at www.fldr.org or www.floridadachshundrescue.com (see All Pet Care’s Link menu).
Florida Dachshund Rescue Writes:
We are a registered, incorporated non-profit organization. We make no money on the placement of our dogs and rely on funds from fundraisers and generous donations. Our adoption fees are far less than the actual medical costs expended for the dogs, as we do not automatically reject animals in medical need. Each dachshund rescued through our organization is brought current on all shots, tested for heartworm infestation and given the necessary treatment, spayed/neutered, and is given recommended medically necessary treatments before being considered available for adoption. They also must stay in a foster home for behavior evaluation and modifications.
If you think you would be willing to help, please contact Doc Truli 877 DR TRULI or see the link in the sidebar directly to Florida Dachshund Rescue.
Congratulations to Donna, Doris, and a very happy little dachshund!
Enjoying her new home and the perks!
Remember Miss Peanut? She was adopted by a client this month!
We just received this awesome photo of Miss Peanut enjoying the perks in her new home! What a happy Dachshund!
We really love what we do!
Would you be Peanut’s new family?
Peanut Adopted
Peanut was adopted after only 2 weeks! Peanut is a healthy 3-year-old female spayed red short-haired miniature dachshund.
Peanut’s Friend Alex Still Needs a Home
Alex is a 5-year-old declawed, neutered male tabby and white kitty. His dad is moving and working long, long hours, so he is looking for new homes for them so they can have a better life.
Trifexis
Trifexis is the most complete dog preventative monthly tablet veterinary medicine has ever seen!
Ever heard of it? The fabulous Comfortis (pronouced Come-FOR-tiss) flea pill for dogs combined with the safe and effective milbemycin= Trifexis(pronounced Try-fex-iss). Now you do not have to give Comfortis and a different heart worm prevention! You can just give one monthly product!
Did You Know?
Trifexis active ingredients are Spinosad and Milbemycin.
Trifexis is a once-a-month yummy flavored tablet for dogs that kills fleas and prevents heart worm infection. It also prevents and controls the intestinal worm infections: hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms.
Call All Pet Care Hospital and ask or mention the new flea and heart worm pill Trifexis at your next check-up to learn the ideal preventatives for your pet. You will save time and money!
Letter to Our Clients,
The most up to date, progressive parasite prevention products include Trifexis, Revolution feline, Advantage Multi, Advantix, Comfortis, Heartgard Plus, Interceptor & Preventic.
We have decided to phase out supplying the following: Advantage and Frontline.
In our attempts to better serve you, we occasionally find it necessary to re-evaluate which veterinary products best fit with our practice standards.
We would like to stress that the efficacy of these products was not a factor in this decision. Our goal in making this change is simply to improve our ability to provide you with the best service possible. Eliminating the above products will allow us to stay on top of new developments in veterinary medicine by making room for newer products as they come to market.
For those of you who wish to continue using these products, Advantage & Frontline are readily available over the counter at the large pet stores. We will happily approve prescriptions, just give us a call and we will help you set up your own online pharmacy account 877 DR TRULI
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause however we believe that our decision will improve our ability to provide all of our clients with the most up to date progressive veterinary care.
Thank you,
Dr. Springer

Serious, and possibly deadly side-effects have been reported from the combination of spinosad and ivermectin.
