🩺 Regular health checks are essential for early detection of serious conditions like cancer. Here’s a comprehensive routine you can follow during your weekly grooming sessions to keep your pet in top shape:

👀 Visual Inspection: Look over your pet’s body for any unusual spots, lumps, bumps, or rashes. Pay close attention to areas with less fur.
🤚🏼 Palpation: Gently feel your pet’s skin, especially around the neck, underarms, belly, and legs, to detect any abnormal growths or swelling.
👂 Eyes and Ears: Check for any discharge, redness, or unusual odor. Ensure the eyes are clear and bright, and the ears are clean.
🦷 Mouth and Teeth: Examine the gums for signs of inflammation or unusual coloration and look for any broken or discolored teeth.
🐕 Coat and Skin: Brush your pet’s fur to check for dryness, dandruff, or parasites like ticks and fleas. Look for any changes in fur texture or shedding patterns.
❤️ Behavior Monitoring: Note any changes in eating, drinking, or activity levels, as these can be signs of underlying health issues.

By integrating these checks into your regular grooming routine, you ensure your pet’s health and happiness. 🐕✨

🌷✨ I hope everyone had a loving Mother's Day weekend, celebrating all moms—human and furry alike! 🐶👩 This week, as we observe Pet Cancer Awareness Month, the topic hits close to home. Last year Pebbles had to undergo surgery to remove a toe due to cancer. It was a tough time, but it underscored the importance of being vigilant about our pets' health.

This week, we're dedicating our content to helping you understand the early signs of pet cancer, preventative measures, and the latest treatment options. 🎗️🐾 Awareness and early detection can save lives, and I'm here to share what I've learned from my journey with Pebbles to help you and your furry family.

🐾 Is your furry friend feeling stressed? As 'Be Kind to Animals Week' progresses, we're addressing an important but often overlooked issue—pet anxiety. 🤔

Take our quick quiz to spot the signs of anxiety in pets and discover ways to help them relax:
1. Does your pet hide or become less active when there are loud noises? (Yes/No)

2. Have you noticed changes in eating or bathroom habits when your pet is alone? (Yes/No)

3. Does your pet show repetitive behaviors like excessive licking or pacing? (Yes/No)

4. Is your pet overly clingy or follows you more than usual? (Yes/No)

Results:
• Mostly Yes: Your pet might be experiencing anxiety. It's important to consult a vet and consider ways to create a calmer environment.
• Mostly No: Great! Your pet seems to be feeling secure. Keep up the good care!
