Warning: This Shiba Inu puppy may cause excessive smiling 😍🐾

Shiba Inus are known for their fox-like appearance, alert expressions, and big personalities packed into a small, athletic body.

They are intelligent, confident, and independent, often described as more “cat-like” than dog-like. Shibas are smart and curious, and they like to do things their way. They are loyal and fascinating companions.

"Drew" just arrived from Iowa. Her family is no newcomer to the breed. Their hearts still hold a special place for their first Shiba Marv who lived to be 16 years old. He is missed every day and always remembered. Drew has found the perfect home to grow old in.

Unique, expressive, and endlessly entertaining—there’s truly no breed quite like a Shiba Inu 🦊🐶

🐾 Is your pet microchipped?

A microchip is a tiny, permanent form of ID that can help reunite you with your pet if they ever get lost. Collars can break or slip off—but a microchip stays with your pet for life.

👉 Remember: a microchip only works if your contact information is kept up to date!

Microchips are simple to implant and often with a good treat distraction your pet won't even notice!

💲🐾💲Let's talk PET INSURANCE 💲🐾💲

We all dread the moment when our pets get sick and even more when it's an emergency! We recently experienced it firsthand, Friday night, sick dog and Syd needed to go to surgery! ⚕🏥🐕

Like other young teenage dogs, he decided to eat something he shouldn't have! Our daughter's weaving project, made out of yarn, on a loom at school. So, not only did Syd have a foreign body, he had linear foreign body!

It's times like these many pet owners wish they had pet insurance! Did you know costs can range from $2,000 to $3,500 depending on how long the pet has to stay in the hospital, how extensive the surgery is, how well the pet recovers and many other variables.

Even as veterinarian, I have a policy for Syd. He's an active 1 year old golden retriever, our son's hunting dog and right off the bat he seemed accident prone. I figured it was a matter of time before he broke a leg or needed something big. At the time, I wasn't performing surgeries myself, so I reached for Trupanion when he was just a puppy.

Thanks to our on-call partner, on a Friday night, Syd got the surgery he needed. I had already met his condition deductible. His surgery ended up costing me over $1800 for less than 24 hours of care. Yes, veterinary care can get expensive. But, having Syd well cared for was priceless.

Thanks to Trupanion, I got a reimbursement check for $1,493.65 from his surgery. It made me less likely to play the wait and see game and to feel more comfortable at Christmas time to saying yes to the care he needed.

Syd is back to himself and fully recovered.

Happy to discuss how pet insurance works. There are many, many options out there! I chose Trupanion because they have no lifetime limit, once the condition deductible is met they pay 90%! They also pay direct to veterinary offices.
Sheridan Pet Care is all set up! You don't have to wait for a reimbursement check - they make the payment right there and then! Sheridan Pet Care even offers a free 30-day policy, no strings attached with Trupanion at your pet's wellness visit.
