Is your home starting to look like itโ€™s carpeted in fur? Youโ€™re not alone! As the temps rise in Central Ohio, so does the sheddingโ€”and summer grooming becomes essential for your petโ€™s comfort, health, and happiness.

At ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜๐—ต๐˜† ๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€, weโ€™re sharing grooming tips tailored to every coat type:

At Healthy Pets of Ohio, we know how tough it is to see your dog limping or struggling to play like they used to. If your furry friend has a torn cranial cruciate ligament (CCL)โ€”the canine version of an ACL injuryโ€”TPLO surgery might be the best way to get them back on their paws.

Today is a friendly reminder from Healthy Pets of Houk Road: Is your petโ€™s ID up to date?

Each year, thousands of pets go missingโ€”but having proper identification dramatically increases the chances of a safe reunion. Whether itโ€™s a microchip, a collar tag, or (ideally) both, make sure your petโ€™s info is current!

โœ”๏ธ Check your petโ€™s tags for legibility and accuracy
โœ”๏ธ Confirm your microchip registration is updated with your current contact info
โœ”๏ธ Ask us about microchipping if your pet doesnโ€™t already have one!

Keeping your furry friend safe starts with something as simple as an ID. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ’š
