Winnie the Pooh

Winnie the Pooh is my year-old "Westeke". She's a high-bred Westie Terrier & Schipperke cross. She loves to play frisby, collects sticks and rocks, pokes everything with her little black nose and is great at making sure my husband and I get plenty of exercise and fresh air.

Buddy Guy

"In memory of our beloved Siamese gentleman, Buddy Guy, who passed away at 16 years." We are so very grateful for Dr. Nelson's gentle and thoughtful nature and all of the GCPH staff members who are compassionate and understanding with our loss of Buddy. Thank you to all the Staff at GCPH for helping us through the pain & grief of losing a loved one! You all ROCK! - Ted & Jan Dahl

Mimi's Hot Chocolate

("KoKo")

Mimi's Hot Chocolate (KoKo) is our beautiful 6 year-old Siamese lady. She fetches cat toys like a dog and plays heartily with Winnie, our dog. KoKo begs my husband to take her for walks on a lease.

Our thanks to Jan Dahl, a loyal client for over 25 years, for sharing these terrific photos!

MEET MAX MOHS

Max is 3 years old. He has been a patient at Granite City Pet Hospital all his life.

Max likes to play games and sleep. He is a great friend!

Our thanks to Dennis Mohs for sharing these great photos!

MEET HOBBES & EDDIE

Hobbes and Eddie Mahowald are both great travelers who like to spend as much time as possible at the cabin in northern Minnesota. It’s prime critter-hunting territory. If anyone is going to keep those chipmunks in line, it’s these two! Hobbes is a bit older, so he's fine letting Eddie take the wheel.

Our thanks to Amy Mahowald

for this wonderful photo!

MEET SNOWBALL

Snowball was treated at Granite City Pet Hospital in 2009 where he had 2 ACL's. Now he's doing so well that you would never know that he even had surgery. He is 3 years old now and loves life. This picture was taken last year in our pumpkin patch!

Our thanks to Mike and Pamela Withage at Camp Canine for these great photos!

MADISON'S VACATION

This is Madison on vacation at the Bluefin Bay in Tofte MN up on the north shore. She had a great time. Madison has been a patient for all her life (over 10 years) and I have been brining my pets there for about 23 years. Thanks and wanted to share Madison's vacation!

Our thanks to Jerry and Sherri Baker for these great photos!

MEET PEE WEE

This is PeeWee, he is 4lbs and a purebred Red Sable Pomeranian, he just turned 1 on March 22nd. Granite City Pet Hospital knows him well from a previous leg injury they helped him with. He is doing just fine now!

PeeWee says “Thanks”

MEET BILLI, TRUDY & SOPHIE

Our very first dog is Sophie. A black and white Italian Greyhound. We got her from the Human Society when she was 10 months old. Neither my husband or myself had ever had a dog before, so this was quite the experience! We were not even planning on getting a dog when we went to the Human Society, we planned on getting a kitten. But there was something about her that drew us in. She is very scared and has a lot of anxiety problems. Not sure what her first 10 months of her life were like… that could have something to do with her problems. But she loves us to death. When we leave for an hour and come home it is like having a homecoming after being gone for a year. She is really sweet and I love her to death!! Quite hard to train though! These dogs can jump so far and so high! And to get Sophie to sit is impossible!

Trudy is our second dog. What on earth was I thinking!! I saw her in the mall pet store. I always go in there to look at the animals – because I am an animal lover – but I always told myself I would never buy anything from this store. I wanted to always get my animals from Human Societies, not animal stores. But when I saw Trudy… she was so frightened and all bones, she even had poop all over her. I asked to hold her – poop and all – and I said to her – I’m gonna get you out of here. She did not want to let me go. I called my husband and begged and pleaded. I even had to text him a picture of her (because he was at work). I bought her right then and there. She is also an Italian Greyhound. Sophie did not know what to think when I brought Trudy home. She was four months old and Sophie was at least 2 years old by now. Trudy rules the house. She has really packed on the pounds and has filled out nicely! Sophie is very skinny, but she has always been that way, and the breed is suppose to be thin and muscular. Trudy has learned to sit and stay, and to play catch. They both love us to death. My husband and I used to work opposite shifts and it was so lonely at home. Well not anymore! When I walk in that door there are two dogs that are more happy to see me than any human being could ever be. And I love them for that!

Billi because he was our first pet in our new home. We have been here for four years now and our family keeps getting bigger! We got Bill at a shelter. He was such a lover that there was no way I could walk out of there without him. I have no idea how old he is… we have had him for three years now. He is quite a ham, and sheds like there is not tomorrow! But we would do anything for him. He sometimes sits at the bedroom door and wakes me up very early because he is ready to go outside! It is like we are his doorman! He will go in and out 15 times just in the morning. He loves to be outside. He loves the garden and rolls in the dirt, scratches his back on my rose bushes, and in the hot summer he lays under the raspberry bushes for shade. He has a collar on him in case anything should happen. We call him Billi because that is the word for cat in Bangla. My husband is from Bangladesh so we call him Billi. It shoulds just like Bill but with a long I sound at the end.

Thank you for all that you do for my family, they are very dear to us. God Bless You!

Our thanks to April Rabbie for these wonderful photos!

MEET THE FAMILY


Natalie is a Jack Russell Terrier born October 17th, 2002. Natalie is one of the most outgoing dogs I have ever met. She loves to make new friends, person or animal!	Sadie is another Jack Russell Terrier who was born May 17th, 2007. Shes a little shy, but she's the biggest 'lover' once you get to know her!

Harley is our spoiled 'baby'. He is a Chihuahua who was born December 17th, 2007. He is a momma's boy who doesn't mind letting everyone know it!	Stella (who is sold) & Bandit. They are offspring from Natalie born on September 6th, 2008. Bandit loves to play catch and cuddle on the couch!

They all love to visit the nice staff at Granite City Pet Hospital for their routine check-ups!

Our thanks to Traeh's Mom, Cheryl Bird, for this great photo!

MEET GIZMO

Meet GIZMO who was adopted a year ago this month from a shelter in Buffalo! Gizmo is known as our "Houdini" as he can escape from any kennel enclosure! Seriously, for the first few months I thought maybe we'd made a mistake, as the guy got out of not only plastic enclosures, but also wire ones, bending back the little metal bars and squeezing his thin frame through - he's quite amazing!!

Our thanks to Debra Metcalf for this great photo!

MEET NOELLE

Here is my 4 year old Dalmation “Noelle”. We are a new addition to Minnesota and thanks to Granite City Pet Hospital, she is working to adjust to the new environment with allergy treatments.

Our thanks to Jennifer for this terrific photo!

MEET CEDRIC

This is Cedric - He always sticks his tongue out when he's concentrating on a toy or maybe its just that he's sticking it out at me.

Our thanks to Tina Mohs for this great photo!

MEET BROCK & JAKE

"Brock"

This is "Brock" looking like a King waiting on his supper. What a majestic German Shepherd he is!!

Great companions, great retrievers loyal and loving.

With a face that can melt your heart!

Our thanks to Devin Koob for these wonderful pictures!

MEET DRACO

This is "Draco" who is a "puggle", which is a mix breed of a pug and

a beagle. Draco is another happy and healthy patient at

Granite City Pet Hospital!

Our thanks to Michael Brandt for this wonderful picture!

MEET KIELA

Here's "Kiela" who is helping out with "fall clean up". Actually, Kiela is running everything, as you can see as she directs all the action from the wheelbarrow!

Kiela is a Chihuahua/Miniature Schnauzer who is only 10-weeks old in this photo. Kiela showed a talent for taking over things at a very early age!

MEET CODY

Here's "Cody" a 2-year old Golden Retriever. Cody's not much for helping clean up -

he just showed up for his "Close Up"!

Our thanks to Jen Kuchenmeister for these great pictures!

MEET DIXIE & MUFFIN

Here are "Dixie", a 4-year old tan tabby, and "Muffin" who is a 1-year old long hair.

Both of these cats were found as strays, when they walked into our lives, and now both have been trained to do the most adorable tricks!

"Dixie" and "Muffin" visit Sartell Pet Hospital.

Our thanks to Beverly Donabauer for these great pictures!

MEET DIXIE & SOPHIE

Here's "Dixie" at one of her favorite hang-outs - her local fire hydrant!

And here's Dixie's best buddy, "Sophie", who prefers the quiet life, lounging in the shade of her private garden.

Our special thanks to Deb Metcalf for sharing these wonderful photos with us!

MEET MELISSA'S KIDS

Here are "Titan", "Harley" and "Cinder" taking a break from their very busy day

playing outside in their yard.

Our thanks to Melissa Forsberg-Rieland for this cute photo!

MEET MAX & MADDIE

Here's "Max" celebrating his 14th birthday with lots of festivities including party hats!

Max and his little sister, "Maddie", a schnauzer have been patients at Granite City Pet Hospital since they were just pups.

"Maddie" thought the best thing about the birthday party were the "Frosty Paws" served, which are a special ice cream made just for dogs. As you can see, she made sure she got every bite of her serving, but she was ready for seconds right away!

Our thanks to Dennis & Bethany Murphy for these great photos!

MEET NEELIX & GARAK

The Clark family pets have been visiting Granite City Pet Hospital for the past 23 years. Here are "Neelix" and "Garak" who are current members of the Clark household. Neelix is a platinum mink Tonkinese and Garak was given to the Clark family by one of Granite City's veterinary techs, so that he could have a good home. Garak promptly became the "alpha" leader, but as you can see, Neelix and Garak are good buddies!

Our thanks to Gayle Ruesch Clark for this wonderful picture!
