September is National Pet Insurance Month. 🐾✨ To get the most from pet insurance, it’s best to insure your pet early in life, if possible, before any health conditions develop. Once a condition is present, it may be considered pre-existing and excluded from coverage.

Animal Pain Awareness Month – Part 2 🐾💛

Chronic pain in pets can be harder to detect than acute pain. While acute pain is sudden and often obvious (like limping after an injury), chronic pain is more subtle as it builds gradually and sometimes is mistaken for slowing down due to age.

For chronic pain these are the signs ⚠️ to look for in both dogs and cats:

🦴 Slowing down on walks, or moving around the house less
🦴 Being more grumpy
🦴 Playing less
🦴 Licking themselves more, pulling hair out
🦴 Pacing or howling at night
🦴 Reluctant to go up stairs/jump onto furniture, or not going up stairs/jumping onto furniture
🦴 Depression or less interactive mood
🦴 Arched or curved back (spine higher in one area)
🦴 Different leg position on one side compared to the other when standing or sitting (i.e. one foot turns out)
🦴 Limping
🦴 Changes in body shape due to muscle loss
🦴 Head bob when walking or head kept low
🦴 Tucked up tail
🦴 Different sleeping positions
🦴 More fearful of loud noises or new situations
🦴 Uneven toenail wear, or toenails growing longer than usual

If you’re noticing any of these signs, it’s definitely worth looking into. Pets don’t always show pain the way we expect, but with the right care and support, they can live more comfortably. We’re here to help. 💚

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month. 🐾💛 Pain in pets isn’t always obvious, but it’s more common than you might think.

If you notice your furry friend laying down to eat or drink, that could be a subtle sign of discomfort. Other signs of acute pain may include:

🦴 Decreased activity or playfulness
🦴 Limping or stiffness
🦴 Reluctance to go up/down stairs
🦴 Excessive licking or grooming
🦴 Changes in posture, appetite, or mood

Animals are experts at hiding pain, but you don’t have to guess alone. If you’re concerned your pet may be uncomfortable, we’re here to help. Schedule a appointment at TIAH and let’s work together to keep your companion happy, healthy, and thriving.

It’s National Check the Chip Day! 🐾🔍 A simple check today could make all the difference tomorrow.
Make sure your pet’s microchip and ID tag info is up to date. If your pet isn’t microchipped yet, talk to your vet, it only takes a few seconds! 🐶🐱

Why it matters:
Microchipping significantly increases the chance of being reunited with your pet if they get lost, especially during travel. ✈️

Microchip Facts You Should Know:

📌 Microchips are not GPS trackers, they contain a unique number that’s read with a scanner.
📌 That number is only useful if it’s registered with a company like 24Petwatch.com.
📌 Microchips are safe and don’t emit radiation.
📌 Insertion is quick and virtually painless (a local numbing gel can be used beforehand). Complications are extremely rare.

A microchip is required for dogs traveling across the border to the USA and for many countries, the chip must be scanned and recorded on the Rabies certificate at the time of vaccination. At a minimum, make sure your pet is always wearing a collar with a current ID tag, even a microchipped pet should have visible identification. 🐾

August is National Immunization Awareness Month 🗓️💉A time to talk about protection, prevention and personalized care.

At TIAH, we believe that vaccines are a vital part of your pet’s health, but so is understanding their unique needs. That’s why we always recommend vaccine titre testing when appropriate.

Titre testing measures your pet’s immunity levels to core diseases, helping us determine whether a vaccine is necessary or if your pet is already protected.

This approach:
✅ Helps avoid over-vaccination
✅ Respects your pet’s individual immune response
✅ Still ensures your pet is fully protected

We’re here to help you make informed and balanced decisions about your pet’s care. Have questions about titres or vaccines? Reach out to our team today! 🐱🐶
