Hello Longwood friends!
It’s getting chilly out there 🥶❄️🧊 I’m sure we are all wondering how we can keep our little fluffy friends safe during the extra chilly days. Here are some tips and tricks! 🪵🔥

1: Be sure to provide your pet with plenty of warm bedding. Their fur does help them regulate, but it can only do so much. A sweater or a blanket can go a long way to keep them warm if things get exceptionally chilly🧣

2: If they have to go outside be sure you protect their feet. If you don’t want to stand there barefoot then they don’t either! You can use water proof socks, or pet shoes. 👟 if they don’t like that then be sure to keep contact with the cold (especially ice) to a minimum and wash their feet in case there is any salt on the ground ✨

3: You can set up an indoor bathroom space for your dogs if it’s too cold or if they refuse to go outside for their business. This will keep them safe and insure they aren’t holding it for too long. You can use a shallow box with artificial turf or sod 🚽

4: heating pads are cozy, but can also be dangerous. Check the warning label on your heating appliances to see the proper safety guidelines. Liquids or sneaky chewing can lead to electrical burns or even fatal accidents. Be warm, but be safe! 🕯️

Stay safe out there, friends! And be sure to give those babies lots of love from their friends at Longwood 💖

for National Trivia Day! 😺​

Did you know that cats can make over 100 different sounds? Their vocal cords are incredibly flexible, allowing them to communicate with us in so many ways.

Keeping your pet active during the colder months can be tricky, but maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for their overall wellness. ​

For our dog patients, we recommend indoor tug-of-war, indoor fetch, and interactive toys. ​

For our cat patients, additional cardboard boxes never hurt – along with laser pointers, birdwatch stations, and interactive toys. ​

Routine physical exams are great for checking your pet’s heart, lungs, eyes, and ears, but what about their internal health?

Annual blood panels help us assess internal health including liver and kidney function, metabolic disease, and blood counts. Diagnostic tests provide valuable insight into changes in their health over time and allow us to identify illnesses early which can lead to faster treatment and often a better prognosis

💉 Schedule your pet’s wellness exam with us so we can run blood panels and help keep your pet healthy as can be!

With the holiday season in full effect, we know that there may be treats on your pet’s wish list. We also know that you are likely tired of the toothbrushing battle. Which is why we recommend dental treats!
Dental treats are a great way to reduce the severity of periodontal disease.

We urge our pet parents to look for the VOHC Seal of Acceptance and to avoid hard treats such as synthetic or natural bones.

Tis' the season for joy, cheer, and...vaccinations! 💉

Your pet's health is the best gift you can give this holiday season. Schedule their annual check-up or vaccinations today.

The holiday season is now in full swing, which brings excitement, but for male cats, it can also bring extra stress—and with it, a higher risk of Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD).

If your cat seems to be urinating more frequently, straining, or showing signs of discomfort, it could be a sign of FLUTD.

Simple steps like creating a quiet, cozy space or using pheromone sprays, can help reduce stress.

Our clinic is here to help! We can provide a thorough review of your cat’s health and offer guidance on environmental changes to keep them calm. Contact us today!
