🐶📢Puppy Mill Awareness Day 📢🐶

Today, we’re shining a light on an important issue: Puppy Mills. These are large-scale commercial breeding facilities where profit is prioritized over the well-being of the dogs. 🏭💔 Dogs in puppy mills are often kept in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, receiving minimal veterinary care, socialization, and exercise. 🐕‍🦺😔

Why should you avoid puppy mills and choose adoption instead? Here are some key reasons:

Health Risks: Puppies from mills are often prone to health problems due to poor breeding practices and lack of proper medical care.
Behavioral Issues: Growing up in a stressful environment with little human interaction can lead to behavioral issues in puppies.
Overpopulation: By adopting from shelters or rescue organizations, you're helping to reduce the number of dogs that end up in these inhumane conditions.
Did you know that Pennsylvania is one of the states with a high prevalence of puppy mills? It's crucial to raise awareness and take action to ensure that these practices end. By choosing to adopt, you're making a stand against the inhumane treatment of dogs and giving a loving home to a pet in need. 🏡❤️

Let's come together to advocate for the welfare of all dogs. Share this post to spread the word and educate others on the importance of avoiding puppy mills. If you're looking for a new furry friend, consider adopting from a shelter or rescue organization. 📸🐾

Hey Steinbachs Family!

Can you believe it's that time of year again? Back-to-school season is just around the corner, and we know you're busy prepping for another fantastic year of learning. While you're gathering those school supplies, don't forget about your furry friends at home who are also gearing up for the change!

✨ Routine Refresh: Start adjusting your pet’s schedule to match the school routine. Gradual changes in feeding and walking times can help them adapt more easily.

✨ Quality Time: With the hustle and bustle, set aside some special time each day to bond with your pets. A quick play session or cuddle can work wonders!

✨ Comfort Zone: Create a cozy, safe space for your pet to relax during the busy school mornings. A comfy bed or a favorite toy can provide comfort when the house gets hectic.

✨ Safety First: Make sure your pets are secure and safe when the kids leave for school. Check fences, gates, and doors to ensure they can't wander off.

✨ Back-to-School Pics: Don’t forget to snap some adorable back-to-school photos with your kids and pets! We'd love to see those heartwarming moments. Share your pictures with us using the hashtag 🐶🐱

🚨 Attention Pet Owners! 🚨

We at Steinbach Veterinary Hospital want to inform you about the recent outbreak of Canine Influenza. This highly contagious respiratory infection can affect dogs of all breeds and ages. 🐾

What is Canine Influenza?

Canine Influenza, also known as dog flu, is a viral infection that spreads rapidly among dogs. It's similar to the flu in humans and can cause mild to severe illness.

Symptoms to Watch For:

🔸 Coughing (both dry and moist)
🔸 Sneezing
🔸 Nasal discharge
🔸 Fever
🔸 Reduced appetite
🔸 Lethargy

If you notice any of these symptoms in your furry friend, please contact us immediately. Early detection and treatment are crucial.

Treatment and Prevention:

While there is no specific antiviral treatment for canine influenza, supportive care can help your dog recover. This includes:

Ensuring they stay hydrated
Providing a comfortable and warm environment
Administering medications to reduce symptoms and prevent secondary infections
Why Vaccinate?

Vaccination is your best defense against canine influenza. Here’s why you should consider it:

Protection: Vaccines help reduce the severity of the disease and the risk of complications.
Community Safety: Vaccinating your dog helps prevent the spread of the virus to other pets.
Peace of Mind: Knowing your pet is protected allows you to focus on the joy they bring, rather than worrying about potential illness.
We strongly encourage all dog owners to get their pets vaccinated. Our team is here to answer any questions and provide the care your pet needs.

Let’s work together to keep our pets safe and healthy! 🐶💕
