Rinse thoroughly with water after 5 minutes. Repeat if necessary. The mixture must be used promptly and will not work if stored for any length of time. Do not store in a closed container. The container could break as the peroxide releases oxygen. The pet's fur (as well as clothing, towels, and carpeting) may be bleached by the formula.

read moreSand Creek Animal Hospital proudly offers Ultrasound imaging as one of our diagnostic services. The definition of ultrasound is the use of ultrasonic waves to visualize internal body structures or organs for diagnostic purposes. Dr. David Sonnekalb performs ultrasounds right in our office upon referral from your pet's veterinarian. This means that we don't have to refer you to a specialist, wait for an available appointment, and then wait for results. Our ultrasounds are sent to a specialist who will interpret the results of the test and consult with our veterinarians.
