Attention all pet parents! 🐾

It's time to talk about your pup's dental health, and why those baby teeth are more important than you might think. Just like humans, dogs have baby teeth that need to fall out to make way for their adult set. But sometimes, they need a little help!

At Applewood Veterinary Clinic, we understand the importance of a healthy mouth for your growing dog. That's why we recommend regular check-ups to ensure those tiny teeth are falling out at the right pace and not causing any discomfort or problems for your furry friend.

Why is this important? Retained baby teeth can lead to overcrowding, misalignment, and could even cause painful gum issues. So let's keep those doggy smiles bright and healthy together!

Book an appointment with us today to ensure your young dog's mouth is on the right track. Your pup's smile is worth it! 😊🐶

🐾 Lost Pet Prevention Month: Keep Your Fur Babies Safe! 🐾

Did you know that over one million pets go missing each year? Let’s change that! July was National Lost Pet Prevention Month, and we’re here to help you keep your furry friends safe. Here are some essential tips:

Microchip Your Pet: Ensure your pet is microchipped. It’s a reliable way to reunite lost pets with their families. If your dog or cat doesn’t have a collar, a microchip can be a lifesaver.
ID Tags: Always have an ID tag on your pet’s collar. Include your contact information so that anyone who finds your pet can reach you quickly.
Secure Doors and Windows: Pets can slip out through open doors or windows. Be mindful when opening them, especially during parties or gatherings.
Fireworks Safety: Loud noises from fireworks can scare pets, causing them to run away. Keep them indoors during celebrations.
Day Trips: Exploring new places is fun, but unfamiliar environments can increase the chances of pets getting lost. Keep them on a leash during outings.
Remember, prevention is key! 🐶🐱💙

🐾 Getting Ready for the Holidays with Your Pet 🐾

Whether you’re traveling with your furry friend or leaving them behind, here are some tips to ensure a stress-free holiday season:

Traveling with Your Pet:
- Health Check: Visit your vet for a pre-trip health check. Ensure vaccinations are up-to-date and discuss any travel-specific concerns.
- ID and Microchip: Make sure your pet’s ID tag is legible and includes your contact information. Consider microchipping if you haven’t already.
- Comfort and Safety: Pack their favorite blanket, toys, and a familiar bed. Use a secure carrier or harness during travel.
- Food and Water: Bring enough food, treats, and fresh water. Stick to their regular diet to avoid tummy troubles.
- Rest Stops: Plan rest stops for bathroom breaks and short walks.

Leaving Your Pet at Home or in a Kennel/Cattery:
- Pet Sitter or Boarding: Arrange for a reliable pet sitter or book a reputable kennel/cattery well in advance.
- Detailed Instructions: Provide clear instructions on feeding, medication, exercise, and emergency contacts.
- Comfort Zone: Leave your pet with familiar items (their bed, toys, etc.) to reduce anxiety.
- Security Measures: Ensure doors, windows, and gates are secure. Consider a timed light or radio to mimic your presence.
- Emergency Plan: Share your vet’s contact details with the pet sitter or kennel staff.

Remember, every pet is unique, so tailor these tips to your specific situation. Have a safe and joyful holiday season! 🐶🐱

EDIT: ADOPTED
This sweet girl was surrendered to us today and we urgently need to find a new home for her. If anyone is interested please reach out. She is 11 years old and just a sweet little girl. She is spayed and ready to go to a new home. Please share to help find a loving family for Sprinkles.

🐾 Attention Cat Lovers! 🐾

🐱 Meet Sprinkles! 🐱

She is a charming and beautiful cat who is currently looking for a new forever home. Sprinkles loves sunshine and chasing after feather toys.

Sprinkles is an 11 year old lady who is relaxed and calm, she is spayed and enjoys spending time bird watching out the window. Because she is an older cat she may need extra attention and care. Her ideal home would be a calm and loving environment with a sunny windowsill to sunbathe!

🐾 Why Regular Veterinary Visits Matter for Your Pet’s Health 🐾

As a pet owner, you play a crucial role in your furry friend’s well-being. Regular visits to the veterinarian are essential for maintaining their health, even if they appear perfectly fine. Here’s why:

Early Disease Detection: Pets often hide signs of illness. Routine wellness exams allow your vet to catch diseases early, ensuring timely treatment and extending your pet’s healthy years.

Establishing Baselines: Starting when your pet is young, regular visits help establish normal parameters. This baseline aids in identifying any deviations from their usual health.

Aging Changes: As pets age, their bodies change. Your vet can recommend lifestyle adjustments or products to support your pet’s well-being throughout their golden years.

Remember, prevention is better than cure! Schedule those regular vet visits to keep your beloved companion in top shape. 🐶🐱

🐾 Summer Safety Alert: Protect Your Pets from Heatstroke! 🐾

As temperatures rise, it’s crucial to be aware of the risks of heatstroke and hyperthermia for our furry companions. Here are the signs to watch out for:

Lethargy: If your pet seems unusually tired or sluggish, it could be a sign of heat-related stress.
Dry Gums: Check your pet’s gums – if they appear dry, it may indicate dehydration.
Refusal to Eat: Heat can suppress appetite. If your pet isn’t interested in food, pay attention.
Sunken Eyes: Dehydrated pets may have sunken or dull eyes.
Decreased Skin Elasticity: Gently pinch your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades and lift. If it doesn’t snap back quickly, your pet might be dehydrated
Panting; If your pets breathing much more rapidly than normal its important to check for other signs of Heat stroke.
Remember, early recognition and prompt action are essential. If you suspect heatstroke, move your pet to a cool area, offer water, and seek veterinary help immediately. Let’s keep our furry friends safe this summer! ☀️🐶🐱
