As part of Cherrydale Veterinary Clinic's overall philosophy, we feel our best clients are our most educated clients. Therefore we spend a great deal of time talking about health issues and explaining things as best as we can. These efforts range from a variety of handouts on behavior topics to our bi-monthly newsletter. Included below are some of the highlights.

"He's Just Slowin' Down, Doc" - Hypothyroidism is a common condition of dogs in which their body fails to make enough thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormone is produced by the thyroid glands located in the neck and is responsible for regulating the metabolism of all other tissues in the body.

Personal Stories - At Cherrydale Veterinary Clinic, we know most of our clients feel the way we do... our pets are part of our families. So we've included a few personal stories which tell about how our pets dealt with different medical problems. In addition, we've included stories about some of our favorite patients and most intriguing cases. We hope these stories touch you the way they've touch us... and at the same time help you learn more about different aspects of veterinary medicine.
