**February is American Heart Month (for Your Pets Too)**

This month is about more than just love and sweet treats; it’s an opportunity to focus on heart health — for both ourselves and our pets. When we consider the health adjustments needed to improve our own heart function, it's also important to think about what we can do for our furry friends.
One of the most common health issues diagnosed in pets is heart murmurs, which can range from minor (grade 1) to severe (grade 6) and may lead to congestive heart failure. Just like in humans, diagnostic tests such as echocardiograms and radiographs can help determine the best treatment options for our pets. However, there are several steps you can take at home to help keep your companion healthy.
Firstly, combatting obesity is crucial for preventing heart disease. A balanced diet and regular exercise are the best ways to ensure your pet maintains a healthy weight.
Additionally, prioritizing dental care is essential, as plaque, tartar, and infections in your pet’s mouth can enter the bloodstream and potentially contribute to congestive heart failure.
Also, consider the prevention of heartworm disease, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. This condition can lead to inflammation of blood vessels, restricted blood flow, pulmonary embolism, and heart failure.
Lastly, it’s important to understand your pet's breed history. Some breeds are more prone to heart diseases than others, so educating yourself about your companion's background is vital.

By taking these proactive steps, we can help our pets lead healthier, happier lives.

**Pepper’s Toy Story**

Hello, my name is Pepper, and I gave my family a big scare when I became lethargic for several days. I couldn’t eat or drink without feeling sick. My parents took me to the doctor’s office, where they did an X-ray of my belly. They also took a blood sample for tests. Someone even put a thermometer in my bottom, which was a bit odd. I later learned that he wasn’t a doctor but a technician.

Overall, the doctors discovered that I had eaten something I shouldn’t have, and it was stuck in my abdomen. Unfortunately, I needed surgery. Dr. Scott and the staff were very kind and comforting because I was really scared. They told me I was a great patient. The surgery went well, but I was really tired and needed to rest for a few days afterward. It turns out that cat toys are not meant for dogs, so I’ll have to be more careful next time.

Here is a little information on toy safety to help keep your pets safe while they have fun.

Maintaining dental health is a crucial aspect of your pet’s overall well-being. It is recommended to have yearly examinations to assess your pet's dental condition, which can help prevent potential health issues and diseases. If you notice symptoms such as bad breath, excessive drooling, a reduced appetite, or refusal to eat, it may be time to schedule an exam and possible dental cleaning for your companion.

Consider that pets cannot express discomfort in their mouths, so it is highly advisable to check your animal's mouth at home at least once a month. Look out for signs such as broken or loose teeth, excessive tartar buildup, or swollen gums.

On average, pets can start experiencing dental disease as early as 3 years of age, so it’s important to prioritize good dental hygiene for your furry friend.

We all want to offer our fur babies something a little tastier but not all the food we eat are the safest for them. Some fruits and vegetables can be extremely dangerous for them to consume. Take our patient Freddy here, he came to us last week because chocolate-covered raisin was the snack of choice for the day. This was something he got into; NOT want was given to him. His wonderful parents acted extremely quickly to get him to us because they knew both chocolate and raisins are toxic to dogs. Although it tasted good going down for him it would have been a potential risk of kidney failure, seizures, and irregular heartrate if he did not receive immediate treatment. He was such a wonderful patient, and we are happy to report he is doing extremely well. So here are some Do’s and Don’ts of want you can share and keep away from your fur babies.

🐶 Pet of the week 🐶

Our pet of the week is this handsome boy Hank! He came to us for a booster and the Proheart injection. This injection prevents heartworms for an entire year, which is convenient so you don’t have to remember to give a pill every month. He did so good for the injections, and we LOVED his hair cut.Have a happy holiday Hank!
