The month of August is National Pet Immunization Awareness Month. Just like humans, it's important to keep your furry family members up to date on their vaccinations - it's the greatest form of protection you can give them against the many illnesses and diseases out there!

Some common vaccines for your pups are:
· Rabies
· DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Para-Influenza, Parvo Virus)
· Leptospirosis
· Bordetella
· Lyme

Your feline friends should be vaccinated against:
· Rabies
· FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calici Virus, Panleukopenia)
· FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus)

We recommend vaccinating your pets each year to help keep them protected. Don't hesitate to reach out to us at (315) 668-7387 if you're unsure about which vaccinations your pets may be due for.

Did you know that itching is the number one reason for veterinary visits by dogs? As we mentioned in our last post, excessive licking, chewing, rubbing, and scratching can be a sign that something is off. Here are some things you should be asking yourself if your pet is suffering from skin irritation:

· Have you seen any signs of fleas or ticks?

· Do your pet's skin, ears, or paws have a ye**ty smell?

· Is there any redness or irritation of the skin, ears, or paws?

· Has there been a noticeable increase in itchiness recently?

· If so, have any new foods or treats been introduced?

· Are there any changes to your pet's coat like loss of hair or dryness?

· Does the itchiness seem to coincide with the times humans experience seasonal allergies?

Be sure to call us at (315) 668-7387 if you think your pet is having skin issues and share your answers to the questions above with us. It will help us narrow down the source of the problem.

August is Itchy Pet Awareness Month, so let's spend some time talking about it!
·
We all get itchy sometimes - even our pets. But if our pets are scratching excessively, they could be trying to tell us something. Things like food and environmental sensitivities, parasites, nutritional needs and bacterial or fungal infections can cause itchiness and could require treatment.
·
If your pet is licking, rubbing, chewing, or scratching more than normal, give them a good once over. Early detection is key here so that raw or infected skin can be prevented.

July is recognized as National Pet Hydration Awareness Month.

Our pets rely on us to keep their water bowls full, and their bodies hydrated. In the heat of the summer months, dehydration can hit hard and fast. Since our pets' bodies are 80% water, an abruption in consistent water replenishment can limit their mobility and strength. It can even turn fatal in the most severe cases. Some signs you should be on the lookout for are:

· Dry, tacky gums
· Panting
· Thick saliva
· Sunken eyes
· Vomiting

Please contact us right away at (315) 668-7387 if your pet starts to experience any signs of dehydration.

The days are getting steamy and so are the sidewalks and roadways. Remember that asphalt temperatures are always hotter than air temperatures. This can be very painful for your pets.

Before going for walks or letting your pets spend lots of time outdoors, press the back of your hand to the asphalt. If you aren't able to keep it there for five seconds, it's too hot for your pet's paws! 🐾

🍦 It's National Ice Cream Month!! 🍦

Who doesn't love a crisp, cool cone when we're experiencing the sweltering heat and humidity? Even your four-legged friends deserve a cold refreshment during the dog days of summer (in moderation, of course).

Here is a dog-friendly ice cream recipe your furry family members are sure to love!

All you need is:

· 32 ounces plain Greek yogurt
· 1 ripe banana
·1 cup xylitol-free natural peanut butter

Use a fork to mash the banana in a large bowl. Add the yogurt and peanut butter and mix until combined. Transfer to a bread pan and then cover and freeze it for at least 4 hours before serving. Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before scooping. Once soft enough to scoop, put some into a bowl and top with fresh bananas or other dog-friendly fruit and let your pup enjoy!

You can also change up this recipe by adding your dogs favorite treats - mash up strawberries, blueberries or raspberries, or top it with crushed dog biscuits or jerky snacks. Pumpkin is also a great treat for dogs and helps aid digestion. Use pure pumpkin puree that doesn't have any artificial sweeteners in place of the peanut butter for a different flavor. Try adding your ice cream mixture to an ice cube tray or silicone molds for a fun twist on bite-sized ice cream treats!

Let us know if you try this! We hope your pups enjoy and stay cool!

The month of July is National Lost Pet Prevention Month.

One in three pets will become lost at one point in their lifetime. Technology can help you prevent this heartbreak. Make sure your pet is microchipped and their information is kept up to date - it's your best chance at reuniting with them if they go missing. If you have questions about microchipping your pet, including health questions or how to update your information, give us a call!

Happy 4th of July!!

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

With Independence Day also comes fireworks. While they may be beautiful and fun to watch, they can be a source of anxiety for many pets. If you have a scaredy cat or a panicky pup, here are some things you can do to ease their anxiety and make sure they're safe during fireworks season:

· Make sure the information on collars, tags, and microchips is up to date.

· Acclimate your pet to noises and lights.

· Secure your fences and exit doors.

· Leave pets at home with a safe space.

· Keep party and picnic foods out of your pet's reach.

· Clean up fireworks debris.

Hello Highland Family –

Please be advised that our clinic will be closed on Thursday, July 4th in observance of Independence Day to allow our hard-working staff to enjoy some time with friends and family. We'll reopen again on Friday, July 5th at 7:30am for our regular hours.

Please use caution and take extra measures to keep your pets safe!

If your pet requires emergency attention during this time, please contact the Veterinary Medical Center of CNY at (315) 446-7933 or the Emergency and Critical Care Service at Cornell at (607) 253-3060.

Have a safe and happy holiday!

It's Adopt a Shelter Cat Month!
·
If adding a feline friend to your home is something you and your family are interested in, shelters and rescues are a great place to start your search!
·
Spring and early summer are typically considered "kitten season", so there is sure to be a sweet kitty (or two, cats do great in pairs!) waiting to be your new best friend!
·
Don't overlook the adult cats either! There are so many sweet, cuddly grown cats who need families too!

Summer is finally here and that means, so is the heat!

This time of year, while enjoyable, can also be uncomfortable - and even dangerous - for people AND pets. Here are some tips for helping to keep your pet healthy while it's hot:

· Give your pet plenty of fresh, clean water when it's hot or humid outside to prevent dehydration.

· Be careful not to over-exercise your pet and keep them indoors when it's extremely hot out.

· Never leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle - it can lead to fatal heat stroke and it is illegal in many states!

· Don't leave your pets unsupervised around a pool. If they happen to get in, try to keep them from drinking the water as it contains chlorine and other chemicals.

· Hot asphalt can burn your dog's sensitive paw pads and raise their body temperature quickly, so don't let them linger on it too long.

· Know the symptoms of overheating in pets such as difficulty breathing or excessive panting, drooling, weakness, and increased heart and respiratory rate.

Be sure to call us at (315) 668-7387 at the first sign of distress in your pet! Enjoy the summer weather and be safe!

Nice weather is here, so many people are ready to take on the open road for fun times with family and friends. Do you have any upcoming trips planned? Is your pet tagging along for the ride? If so, here are some quick tips to help keep your trip on the straight and narrow:

· If you're traveling by car, make sure that your cat and dog carriers are secured to a seat.

· Be sure to stop frequently on long trips for pets to relieve themselves and stretch.

· When traveling by air, make sure to read your airline's pet policies ahead of time as they can vary.

· Never travel with a pet in the bed of a truck. Any sudden impact or change of motion could be fatal.

· Always make sure to give your pet access to plenty of food and water, especially on longer hauls.

Give us a call at (315) 668-7387 if you have any questions about pet travel safety, but most of all, have fun!!

June is National Microchipping Month!
·
We all know that microchips can save lives and reunite pets with their owners in the unfortunate case that they are lost, but it's more important than you may think. Just like humans, identification is also important for animals and can make a huge difference in certain situations.
·
Besides helping return lost pets to their rightful owners, microchips can also store data on medical or health complications your pets may have and can alert a vet if they are found without their owners. It's also more permanent than a collar and can't accidentally slip off or be removed.
·
This technology is also expanding into other areas of pet care, such as doggie doors or feeders that will only open for your pet's microchip.
·
Remember to regularly update your pet's microchip information, especially if you have recently moved or changed phone numbers. Outdated information will do no good if your pet goes missing and is trying to find its way home.
