Beware of one of the scariest creatures:Ticks! Nothing freaks us out more than finding one of these creepy crawlies on a pet. With our seasons becoming warmer and warmer these spooky creatures are hanging around all year! Make sure to protect your pets year round from these blood-sucking parasites. Thankfully this lucky lady was on simparica so even though we found 3 ticks on her, they couldn't transmit any nasty diseases! #TickAwareness #PetHealth

🐾 Animal Pain Awareness Month: Recognizing the Signs 🐾
September is Animal Pain Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the signs of pain in our pets. Animals often hide their pain, making it crucial for us to recognize the subtle signs. Here’s what to look out for:
1. Changes in Disposition 🐶: Increased aggression, anxiety, or withdrawal can indicate pain.
2. Altered Eating Habits 🍽️: A sudden loss of appetite or difficulty eating may be a red flag.
3. Mobility Issues 🐕: Limping, stiffness, or reluctance to move can signal discomfort.
4. Vocalization 🐱: Excessive whining, crying, or purring can be ways pets express pain.
5. Physical Changes 👀: Swelling, redness, or abnormal posture might point to underlying issues.
If you notice any of these signs, consult with us. Early detection and treatment can make a significant difference in your pet’s quality of life.
Let’s work together to ensure our pets live pain-free, happy lives. Share this post to help spread awareness!

🐾 Myth Buster! 🐾
Myth: A wagging tail always means a happy dog.
Reality: While dogs often wag their tails when happy, they can also do so when anxious, agitated, or even aggressive. It's essential to observe their overall body language and context to understand their true feelings. Stay informed for a better bond with your furry friend! 🐶💡
Let's talk pavement safety! Are you checking the temperature of the pavement when out on walks? A dogs paw can burn within 60 seconds of being on too hot pavement. If you're worried try the 7 second rule. Use your hand (ideally the back) and hold it on the ground. If you can't handle it for 7 second, your dog shouldn't be walking on it.
