Houses for the Homeless (Pets)

Siena Animal Hospital is raffling beautiful pet homes for $10 and $20 w/ limited entries.  The raffles proceeds will support the many unwanted strays that we take in, treat, spay/neuter, vaccinate and place each month.  These are custom, well-built homes in small and large sizes.  They normally retail from $750-1500.  There are 4 'single' and 4 'double' units, all different styles, available to view and select from.
 

 
There are singles; there are doubles (some split, some one large room). Some have locks for kennels, some do not. They are all made of melamine so they are easy to clean and disinfect. They come with fitted cushions as well. Please do not hesitate to contact us or come by to see these beautiful pieces in person.

Hip Dysplasia -- Early detection
for Health & Breeding

Dr. Susan Keeney recently completed a training course for the PENNHip diagnostic procedure which, at this time, is the best way to check for hip dysplasia, a debilitaing, genetic disease affecting ALL breeds of dogs. To complete her certification, Dr. Keeney will be performing the first 5 dogs at 1/2 price as the results will not be available until all 5 dogs are deemed accurate and repeatable by the official PENNHip Educators, Trainers and Certifiers. This is to insure that Dr. Keeney has mastered the technique for quality control.

PENNHip vs. OFA Pros & Cons
PENN Hip OFA
Accurately diagnoses dogs as young as 4 months
with genetic disease in which they will probably develop
hip dysplasia as they age.   		 Inaccurate technique that misses 92% or dogs that will develop hip dysplasia as they age.
Since it's inception, small breeding groups who have adopted this technique have shown a decrease in the crippling disease of hip dysplasia. The most notable is Guide Dogs for the Blind.  Since it's inception 40 years ago, there has been no decrease in the prevelance in hip dysplasia; in fact, some breeds have no normal dogs. 
Takes X-rays of hips in a more natural position. Takes X-rays of hips in a stretched and tighter view; therefore much less diagnostic. 
   
   
Requires Heavy Sedation or Anesthesia Requires Light sedation in most dogs
More Expense = More Value  Less Expensive = Highly inaccurate
