 We are proud and excited to introduce the newest veterinarian on our team. Dr. Stan Kalata has worked at Pulaski Animal Hospital for over 10 years as our head technician and recently received his license to practice veterinary medicine in the United States. He was born on a small farm in Poland and graduated from the Agricultural University in Lublin in 2001 with a degree in veterinary medicine. Dr. Kalata feels that working as a technician will contribute to his being a well rounded veterinarian. In his spare time he enjoys running and spending time with his family. The Pulaski staff wishes Dr. Kalata the best as he enters a new phase of his career. |

During the month of February all Cook County residents whose pets have a current Rabies Vaccine are eligible to receive $40.00 off the normal cost of spaying/neutering their pet. Limit 2 per family. Also, City of Chicago residents pay a discounted rate on a license for spayed and neutered pets. Residents of the city are required to have all pets licensed. Please call to set up an appointment. |
 We have started our 3rd and final phase of Pulaski Animal Hospital Renovation. The old reception area will be demolished and a roomier modern one will replace it. Pulaski Animal Hospital will remain open and fully functional for medical procedures during construction but the temporary entrance will be in the rear of the building. We strongly encourage appointments during the construction since our temporary reception area is small and unable to accommodate many people. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. |

That is the question! Myths and facts. Making the decision to spay or neuter a pet is very difficult for some people. There are many myths about these procedures. Facts. Spaying a female pet and neutering or castrating a male pet are surgical sterilization procedures. They are done to prevent the unwanted birth of animals by removing the reproductive organs. The procedures are done under general anesthesia so your pet does not feel pain or discomfort.
Age. Spaying and neutering are usually done when the animal is at least 6 months old.
Surgery. The surgery takes from 20 to 60 minutes. Your pet likely will spend one night in the hospital for monitoring and rest.
Home care is minimal. |

By: Angelica Bialek, DVM  Is your dog overweight? Canine obesity is a growing problem. At least 25 percent of all dogs are overweight. Many owners think that a dog in the recommended weight range is too thin and that a plump dog is just right. Wrong. How to measure what's overweight. Considering the animal's weight in just pounds and ounces is not an ideal way to measure fitness. Different breeds have different ideal weights. A better method of measurement is to touch and to look.
Examine your dog's ribs and waist. On a dog at the correct weight, individual ribs can be easily felt and the abdomen is slightly sucked in when viewed from the front and side. Your veterinarian can assist you with this assessment. |
