Border Collie Corner Best Pet Toys for Good Girls and Boys

Hiya friends! With summer in full swing, I’ve noticed my family grabbing gear for their summer adventures. Call me biased, but why not grab an awesome toy for your best friend as well?

Pet toys not only offer entertainment but also mental stimulation, which is surprisingly important to both pet and human happiness in the home.

If your pet tends to keep you awake at night, giving your pet a challenging toy will often properly exhaust your pet before it’s time to sleep. Hey, ask anyone — thinking hard is exhausting. Also, these interactive toys will keep your pet busy whenever you’re too busy to play with them yourself. It’s a win for everyone!

Meet Our Newest Veterinarian, Dr. Hannah Green! Hi everyone! It’s such an honor to be a part of the Petersen Pet Hospital. I grew up in Cedar Rapids, so I’m very excited to come back after graduating from Iowa State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. My family probably could have predicted I’d take this path because my connection with animals started from a very young age. My grandparents used to have animals on their farm, including bunnies, kittens, and llamas. I was always very comfortable with them and spending time out there. As I’ve been treating patients this past year, I’ve learned that one of my favorite parts of the work is simply being hands-on with a patient’s case. I really enjoy talking to clients and getting to know their stories as well as their pet’s stories. I love that I learn new things about animals all the time with this line of work, and it’s also been fun to have opportunity to teach clients about their pets as well. There’s simply so much information about our furry best friends that may surprise owners, such as the serious health risks of periodontal disease.

favorite meal into a scrumptious treat!

After being in school for eight years, I’ve been absolutely thrilled with the opportunity to diagnose and treat patients — it’s definitely a dream come true.

If you’d like to learn more about me, feel free to say hi when you swing by! I’m a cheerful married gal, and my husband and I love to travel and get outdoors whenever we can. We also recently had a baby back in October, and we absolutely can’t wait to raise our daughter close to our folks here in Cedar Rapids. We know the area pretty well after growing up here, but we haven’t been back in some time. Let me know if there are any new spots in town we should check out! Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you around!
