  Mandy R. asked:

  Hi West Hills friends... Sad question to ask, but I'm looking for recommendations and advice on any vet clinics who do house calls for euthanizing large dogs. It's not quite time yet, but it's getting closer and I need to be prepared and informed for when the time does come. Our large German Shepherd is nearly 13 years old and nearing the time where we have to do the humane thing and give her a loving, comfortable goodbye. Her joints will not allow her to jump up into a car and she's too large to lift, so that's why I'm looking into house calls. Any advice or recommendations are really appreciated. Thanks everybody.

  Paws & Claws Mobile Vet (818) 346-7387-- my folks had to use them a few years ago for a large dog-- they were wonderful and took her remains to their regular vet so she could be cremated

  Yasmin M. asked:

  Hello all! I'm in need of some advice/recommendations! My eight-year-old Dachshund/Pekingese mix is showing early signs of arthritis. It's breaking my heart because I don't know if she's in pain or not. She gets constant check ups at the vet, but they always tell us it's the early stages and she shouldn't be in any pain. However, I'm sure anyone who has a dog knows the paranoia and worry they feel when they have a feeling that they're pups in any discomfort.

  

  Dana M. replied:

  Get a second opinion. There are meds that can help. Give Dr. Garcia at Paws and Claw Veterinary Hospital a call. 818-346-7387. He has helped my mom's elderly pup immensely. 😊🐶

  Sherry M. asked:

  My friend's dog needs knee surgery. Can anyone recommend a specialist in SFV, LA, or OC that's honest and would provide quality treatment? Anyone she should stay away from?

  Tanya L. asked:

  My 3 year old newfie recently started limping. Luckily, VCA parkwood ruled out hip dysplasia but is recommending x-rays to better understand issue. I'm fine with that but they said they have to sedate him to get x-rays. Anyone with a large breed know if large dogs have to be sedated. Really don't want him sedated unnecessarily. He's an extremely gentle giant, so would gladly lay through xrays. Or could you recommend another vet to get a 2nd opinion? Pup is still running and swimming, so he uses leg, but we are limiting his exercise for now

  

  Dana M. replied:

  Dr. Garcia at Paws and Claws Vet Hospital is amazing and does a lot of orthopedic consultations/surgeries. He works with all breeds, small and large. 818-346-7387
