As cannabis becomes more common in homes, accidental pet exposures are on the rise. Even a small amount can be toxic—pets are much more sensitive than we are.

Signs of cannabis toxicity in dogs include:
🍁Trouble walking or standing
🍁Drooling
🍁Urinary accidents
🍁Lethargy
🍁Glassy eyes
🍁Startled reactions

If you think your pet may have ingested cannabis, don’t wait. Our team at Star of Texas is here to help—no judgment, just care. 💚

We are not required to report ma*****na ingestion. Honest info helps us treat your pet quickly and effectively. 🩺

Call us at (512)291-1600 or Veterinary Emergency Group at (737) 243-9408 ASAP if you suspect exposure ‼

🦟 Ticks are more resilient than we think, and they can emerge from hiding any time the temperature climbs above freezing—even in winter! Pets are at an ever-increasing risk for Lyme disease.

Because only a single tick bite can transmit Lyme disease, we recommend continuous parasite prevention for year-round protection and peace of mind. Learn how to protect your pet and yourself from this debilitating condition by contacting us at 737-727-0022.

Stay informed, stay safe, and keep your pet healthy! 🐾

Dogs communicate primarily through body language and facial expressions. When interpreting their non-verbal messages, it's essential to observe the entire dog, not just one isolated part. Consider the context, including the environment and recent events, to fully understand your dog's body language.
