Aloha!

We are thrilled, excited and humbled to begin our tenth year of publishing with this 37th issue of Island Dog. We’re thrilled because: We’re still here and doing what we love.

You’re here with us. And you’ve generously shared your beloved furballs’ photos for our Da Kine Canine Gallery. So much so that we added a second, themed gallery for the last 5 years, this issue’s “Cutest Puppies Ever.” Next is “Pups & Peeps,” your chance to sneak into print because of who you hang with.

Daniel Van Zyle and John Pritchett are our resident artists. Dan’s been with us since the beginning and John since issue #3, bringing their unique perspectives, like the current Pharoah’s furry friend and physical exertion motivation, respectively. And we mean that respectfully.

Annie is our Cover Girl! Cute, smart and renowned for being the barksperson of Aloha Kia, she joins only 36 other dogs as the furry face of our magazine.

We’re excited because: We’re bringing you our 6th Annual Veterinary Directory. This handy guide is listed by location so you can find a vet close to where you work or live.

Healthcare for animals has improved remarkably. We have the story on two facilities that have elevated the expectations and ability for saving lives: VERC and VCA. You can plant a Koa Legacy tree on the Big Island in memory of the passing of a loved one. And it helps reforest what was once King Kamehameha’s koa forest.

And we are humbled by the kindness of your attention to our little dog rag in this most digital of ages. We cannot express our gratitude often enough...

So thank you!

Woofs and Wags, John & Carol

Annie

BY BILL VAN DEN HURK President, Aloha Kia

M

y friend and I found Annie 13 years ago while walking on the beach at Makaha. She was eating McDonald’s wrappers and she was just skin and bones. We took her to the vet, who thought she was just too far gone. But I stayed with her for the next few nights, and realized she had a fight in her—a spark to live!

And she’s proved that through other challenges that left her blind in one eye and deaf, and then a herniated disc in her neck that required four hours of emergency surgery at VERC. Saved again!

Three years ago I started to feature her with me in my commercials and a star was born. I’ll be at the airport in LA, and people will see me and yell, “Hey Kia Guy! Where’s Annie?” They don’t know my name, but they sure know hers.

Annie and Bill

I’ve had customers wait on the bench at our entrance just to meet Annie. They’ll say, “We’re here because you love Annie, and you love dogs and you’re helping the OSPCA.” Annie is 14 now and doesn’t work as much as she used to. She’s a very special girl and she’s done wonders for me and wonders for our business.

GLOBAL VILLAGE Open every day • 539 Kailua Rd • Ph. 262.8183

hat makes Global Village one of Kailua’s favorite neighborhood boutiques? It’s their behind-thescenes employees that help keep the Global Village Team grounded and happy, which translates to the friendly greeting and comfortable atmosphere apparent when you shop in the locally owned store.

Global Village has been in Kailua for over twenty-one years, and part of their success is being able to handle the ups and downs of the retail business. Co-owner Debbie Hopkins, attributes the Global team’s even temperament to dogs. “Our whole Global Village Team owns one to three dogs each, or are former dog owners. I have two, Haupia and Kekoa, and l sneak them in through the back door sometimes when I’m working in the office, or at the store late at night,” she continues, “they remind me not to sweat the small stuff. They make me happy.”

Debbie’s go-to dog walking outfit is available at Global Village. “I love wearing this strapless seamless dress paired with a quick throw-on cardigan that Global Village designed. My Kane Clothing trucker hat and Kumu bamboo polarized sunglasses help with the sun, then I stuff all the dog walk essentials in my Envirosax roll up bag.

And lastly I put on my favorite Havaianas slippers.” According to Debbie, everything is easily washable.

Advanced Pet Healthcare 24/7 emergency and specialty centers provide next-level care for Hawaii pet owners.

BY JOHN HARMON

W

hen we first started publishing Island Dog in 2008, clinics had their regular hours and if you had an emergency at night, you were probably going to wait until morning or roust your vet out of bed. If your dog needed specialized care of any kind, your vet just did the best he could or you had to travel with your pet to the mainland for treatment.

ahead, but doing so allows them to be ready with space and equipment to match your situation.

By day VERC and VCA provide some of the most advanced care in the country.

Yes, country. They employ the best-trained specialists available who are BoardCertified, meaning these vets have studied an extra two to four years to master an area

Endoscopy procedure at VERC with Dr. Courtney Watkins and Alex Dehne.

But now Oahu is blessed with not one, but two 24 hour emergency and specialty centers: Veterinary Emergency + Referral Center (VERC) in Honolulu, and VCA Family and Oahu Veterinary Specialty Center (VCA) in Pearl City.

These advanced care facilities are staffed with qualified vets trained to handle all kinds of emergency situations. If your pet is experiencing dire circumstances, especially at night, you can take bring them here for immediate attention. (On the windward side, Feather & Fur Animal Hospital also has vets available 24/7). You don’t have to call 42 ISLAND DOG MAGAZINE • SPRING 2017

of veterinary medicine and are recognized for their achievement. They also work with an amazing array of tools, instruments and devices to determine what is wrong and the best course of treatment.

The goal is to bring the same level of care to animals that is available to humans.

And it works pretty much the same way.

Your regular vet is like your family doctor.

He knows a lot about keeping you healthy with regular checkups, routine labs, shots and healing the occasional mishap. But sometimes he finds something he doesn’t like and wants a second opinion or he’s not

comfortable with a procedure that’s a little too close to an organ or the spine. So he refers you to a specialist for consultation and possibly treatment.

When you are referred to VERC or VCA, your family vet is kept in the loop about your pet’s status, treatment, prognosis and outcome. When you return to him, he is able to incorporate this knowledge into his continuing service as the primary care physician.

Some of the available services include: Endoscopy A lighted flexible tube is inserted into the body through an existing opening (mouth or anus) for closer examination. Allows an instrument (scissors, forceps) to be used for removing foreign bodies. Much easier than cutting open.

Radiology X-rays, Ultrasound, Computed Tomography (CAT scans) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are all used to diagnose and direct treatment for disease and injuries.

Oncology Diagnosis and treatment of cancer includes surgery, radiation therapy, immunotherapy and chemotherapy.

Surgery Repairs to the orthopedic system (bones, joints, ligaments), soft tissue (cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory tract, etc.) and neurosurgery.

As with humans, all these advances in treatment come at a cost. Often a high one.

Be sure to get an estimate for each stage of care, and be aware that there are often unforeseen complications that can raise the final price. What is the maximum amount you are willing to pay versus the expected quality and length of life? It’s best to decide before your pet gets sick and to consider getting pet insurance. No judgment: It’s hard to put a price on love.

Legacy Trees

by Jan Mills

TO Honor & Remember Many people are surprised at the intensity of grief and feelings of loss when a pet passes on. Our pets are a part of us, our beloved companions, and members of our families, so deep grief is understandable. It is important to grieve and we all grieve in different ways.

Rituals and memorials help with the healing process by celebrating our pet’s lives and honoring and respecting the relationship we shared together.

W

hen Leialoha’s beloved Hokulani passed, she planted a legacy tree on the Big Island in honor of Hokulani’s memory. The tree was planted on land that was once King Kamehameha’s koa forest but had been cleared for ranching and lumber. It was a gift of life to the forest that will bring back the native birds and help with the watershed.

What a befitting memorial for Hokulani, her faithful best friend.

Leialoha arranged her memorial legacy Aloha no Hokulani tree planting through Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative and Hawaiian Legacy Tours when she would be visiting the island of Hawaii.

The tour started at ‘Umikoa Village in Pau’uilo on the Hamakua Coast, about a 1 hour drive from Hilo. She selected Hokulani’s tree in the nursery. She and a group of friends headed to the uplands, passing through pungent eucalyptus groves, rolling pasture lands, groves of young koa trees and taking in the spectacular vista.

Leialoha plants her Koa Legacy tree with the help of Richard Lindberg, VP of Operations at Hawaiian Legacy Tours.

The planting site was on a grassy slope below a stand of old-growth koa trees laden with lichen. Leialoha’s memorial legacy tree was computer chipped so if she wants to return to visit her tree, she will be able to find it. She can even follow the growth of her memorial tree online.

As the early afternoon mist started rolling in, Leialoha turned to glance at her tree and smiled. Aloha no Hokulani.

You can honor a pet, friend, family member or commemorate a special occasion by planting a tree. Book tours online at HawaiianLegacyTours.com. $110 for 1½ hour planting tour, includes a Koa Legacy tree, Certificate of Planting and GPS coordinates. Kama‘aina special offers available.

Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative can also plant a tree for you for $60 at LegacyTrees.org; includes Certificate of Planting and GPS coordinates.
