⚠ Veterinary toxicologists from Pet Poison Helpline have identified a serious new hazard found in popular migraine/headache cooling head masks and similar products!

Pets are at risk if they ingest the contents of these products which can lead to serious neurologic signs and in some cases, death.

If you have similar products in your home, be sure they are always stored safely out of your pet’s reach. Promptly discard any damaged or leaking items. Should an exposure occur, contact Pet Poison Helpline right away: 855-764-7661 ☎️

⚠ The University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine Urolith Center has discovered a NEW urinary stone and the likely cause.

These new stones are called "calcium tartrate tetrahydrate" (CTT) uroliths according to Dr. Lulich (co-director of UMN Urolith Center). Canine patients get "choline bitartrate" (the main compound in CTT uroliths) from fresh dog food and supplements recommended for dogs that eat homemade food.

The data collected by Dr. Lulich and his team showed a clear link between choline bitartrate found in some of the most popular fresh dog food brands -- including The Farmers Dog, JustFoodForDogs and Nom Nom -- and the newly discovered CTT uroliths.

This discovery was published in April 2025 in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine.

🐾 Did you know: Pet obesity is more common than you think!

Here are 3 important facts every pet owner should know:
1️⃣ Over 50% of dogs and cats are overweight – Many owners don’t even realize it! A healthy weight is about more than looks — it’s about long-term wellness.
2️⃣ Obesity can shorten your pet’s life – Extra pounds increase the risk of diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, and more. It’s not just “a little chubby” — it’s a health issue.
3️⃣ Feeding guidelines matter – Most pets need fewer calories than we think. Watch portion sizes, limit treats, and avoid table scraps!

☎️ If your pet struggles with weight, give us a call and we'll make a plan to get your pet back on track!
