🐶 Wagging Tail, Hidden Pain: Is Your Dog Hiding a Sore Tooth? 😟

Did you know that a wagging tail might not always mean your dog is happy? While your furry friend might be showing their excitement, they could also be masking discomfort—like a sore tooth. 🦷

Dogs are experts at hiding pain, and dental issues can easily go unnoticed. 🐕 A broken or infected tooth can cause serious pain, but many dogs continue to wag their tails and act normal, making it hard to spot the problem.

Signs Your Dog Might Have a Sore Tooth:
❌Reluctance to chew on one side of their mouth
❌Drooling or pawing at their mouth
❌Bad breath or changes in eating habits
❌Sensitivity to touch around the mouth or face

If you notice any of these signs, it's important to get your dog’s teeth checked by a vet. Early detection can prevent bigger health issues and help keep your pup feeling their best!

📣 Meet Frankie: The Brave Little Puppy! 🐾

This adorable face belongs to Frankie, who came to see us because of a painful fractured baby tooth (deciduous canine). Poor Frankie was feeling quite uncomfortable, so our team gently removed the damaged tooth and provided medication to help with the pain.

We’re happy to report that Frankie handled it like a champ and enjoyed plenty of cuddles afterward—just look at this heartwarming moment on the vet’s shoulder! 🥰

Fractured teeth can be painful for our furry friends, but the good news is they can be treated quickly to keep your pet feeling their best. If you’ve noticed any unusual chewing habits or discomfort, we’re here to help!

Got your answer to today’s trivia? It’s C! 🐾 Cats are masters of communication—they save their meows for humans because they’ve learned it’s the best way to get our attention. Whether it’s a tiny chirp or a demanding yowl, they know just how to push our buttons.

But here’s the kicker: they rarely meow at other cats! Instead, they rely on body language and purring to chat with their furry friends. So, next time your cat meows, listen closely—they might be saying more than just 'hello!' 🐱💬

Think your cat’s meow is random? Think again! 🐾 Cats have a language they’ve designed. Let’s decode their clever secret with the trivia below!

Which one of the following is true about cat meow? Share your answer in the comment below.

🔥🐾 BBQ Season Safety for Pets 🐾🔥

As we sizzle into the festive season, don’t let your pets get into hot (or meaty) trouble! Here’s how to keep them safe during your BBQ celebrations:

🍖 Avoid naughty foods: Keep pets away from fatty meats, bones, onions, garlic, and anything seasoned. These can cause upset tummies or serious health issues.
🔥 Steer clear of hot surfaces: BBQ grills, coals, and tools can burn curious paws or noses.
🍢 Dispose of scraps safely: Bones and skewers are choking hazards—secure the bin!
💧 Stay hydrated: Provide fresh water in a shady spot to keep them cool.

Let’s make the BBQ season delicious for us and safe for them! 🐶🐱💛

🐾Meet Prince Charlie 🐾🎄

This Christmas, we're sending love to Prince Charlie, who recently came in for a check-up after feeling a little off for the past few days. His owner noticed he wasn’t eating as much, was more lethargic than usual, and was limping intermittently on his left hind leg. Poor Charlie was also licking his knee a lot!

After diagnostic tests, we found some bone changes in Charlie’s knees. We've started a treatment plan to ease his joint pain and help him feel more comfortable.❤

Charlie’s owner has reported that he’s doing much better, and we’re so glad to see him improving! We’ll continue to monitor his progress and are here to help him stay pain-free.

Wishing Prince Charlie—and all of our lovely patients—a Merry Christmas filled with joy and comfort! 🎅🎁🐶

🎄🐾 Silly Season Pet Checklist 🐾🎄

The holiday season is here, and while it’s full of fun, it can also bring stress and risks for our furry friends. Here’s your go-to checklist to keep your pets calm, happy, and safe:

✅ Create a quiet space away from noisy celebrations.
✅ Keep toxic treats (like chocolate, grapes, or mince pies) out of reach.
✅ Watch out for decorations—tinsel, ornaments, and cords can be hazards!
✅ Stick to their routine for meals and walks to reduce stress.
✅ Ensure guests know your pet's boundaries.
✅ Fireworks? Prep early with calming aids and a safe hiding spot.

Let’s make this a joyful season for everyone in the family! 🐕🐈💕

Meet April the Cat 🐾💙

April, a 12-year-old cat, recently moved into the area. Shortly after, she stopped eating, lost weight, and experienced vomiting and abnormal bowel movement.

Our team performed some tests and provided supportive care to help April feel better. After discussing her options, April's owner chose to monitor her at home for now, with our ongoing support.

We’re delighted to share that April started eating again and returned to her normal self the very next day! 🎉 It’s always a joy to see our furry friends feeling better. Wishing April and her family happiness in their new home! 🏡🐱💙

The correct answer is d. pug.

Brachycephalic breeds like Pugs, Bulldogs, and Boston Terriers are more prone to heatstroke because their short noses make it harder for them to pant effectively and cool down. During hot weather, it's especially important to keep these dogs cool and hydrated, as they are at greater risk of heat-related issues. ☀️ 🔥🐾

🐾 Dog Trivia Time! 🐾
Summer’s here, and we love enjoying the sunshine with our furry friends! But did you know that some dog breeds are more at risk of heatstroke than others?

Test your knowledge with the quiz below. 👇 We’ll reveal the answer tonight.
