Caution! A new urinary stone has been discovered! It's called Calcium Tartrate Tetrahydrate and it's caused by feeding certain fresh dog food brands...

UPDATE:
Good afternoon, it appears the intention of this post was misunderstood. The intention of this post was to inform our clients that a new stone was found and could be linked to a certain compound ( choline bitartrate). This compound is found in supplements as well as some foods. It was not intended to make it sound like a common issue or a reason for you to switch your pet's food without talking with your veterinarian. Thank you for all who kindly commented, clearing up some of these concerns. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to us or your family veterinarian.

BREAKING NEWS -- use caution when feeding your dog fresh food from brands such as The Farmers Dog, JustFoodForDogs and Nom Nom⚠️

The University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine Urolith Center has discovered a NEW urinary stone and the likely cause🔬
The UMN Urolith Center is the laboratory we use for all bladder stone analysis that are conducted for HAH patients and we recently received notification of this new information.

These new stones are called "calcium tartrate tetrahydrate" (CTT) uroliths according to Dr. Lulich (co-director of UMN Urolith Center). Canine patients get "choline bitartrate" (the main compound in CTT uroliths) from fresh dog food and supplements recommended for dogs that eat homemade food.
The data collected by Dr. Lulich and his team showed a link between choline bitartrate found in some of the most popular fresh dog food brands -- including The Farmers Dog, JustFoodForDogs and Nom Nom -- and the newly discovered CTT uroliths.

This discovery was published in April 2025 in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine.

📢 The RECOVER Newborn Resuscitation Guidelines Are Here! 📢

Just Released! The evidence- and consensus-based RECOVER Newborn Resuscitation Guidelines are designed specifically to support puppies and kittens during the critical moments after birth.

Until now, veterinary teams had no standardized, evidence-backed approach to guide them through this vulnerable transition from intra- to extrauterine life. These new guidelines fill that gap, offering clear protocols for everything from routine care (like warming and drying) to advanced interventions such as:

✅ Positive pressure ventilation
✅ Chest compressions
✅ Use of epinephrine and dextrose

View the guidelines now: https://recoverinitiative.org/2024-guidelines/

Comment a 🐶 or 🐱 in the comments if newborn care is part of your role — we’d love to hear your experiences!

It's been a long exhausting journey, but finally, I get to introduce myself as a veterinary cannabis practitioner with a title of Veterinary Cannabis Counselor (VCC)! ✔️ that one off the list! Now, on to finish my RVT!

If you have questions about cannabis use in your pet, or are knowledgeable but need help finding the appropriate molecular profile and a safe product for the ailment your primary has diagnosed, then I'm your girl! I'm the ONLY Kansas VCC as of now. I have excellent knowledge of the plant as well as Kansas Cannabis laws and I am a member of the Kansas Cannabis Coalition. I am a highly skilled veterinary technician of 24 years and I love to teach all things on veterinary nursing!

I only work with pet parents that have an established VCPR with their primary, so if you are wanting to skip your primary veterinarian, then I'm NOT the girl for you. Scheduling consultation appointments now via VeterinaryElevate.com!

My little baby Newfoundland, Carlos 🐾, is beginning his training and conditioning to be a Certified Frist Responder Therapy Dog. He is just a little over 2 months old and will be training until he is 18 months. At that time, he will test, then get his license to work.

Because of the type of work he will be doing, he will need to be in and around strange, loud, chaotic, stressful, and emotional situations. Often in environments that are dark, wet, and obstacle ridden.

During his training we will need to frequently visit fire houses, police stations, 911 call centers, and hospitals. He will need to feel comfortable around fire trucks, EMS and police vehicles, people in uniform, children, elders, and other animals.

Carlos will also go to work with me when I teach NAVEMS training to First Responders. He will be there to support them as they learn to save their own working dogs should a crisis happen while on duty.

Give us a shout if you would like a visit from Carlos during his training journey! We would be delighted to make the trip for puppy kisses and snuggles!
