🐾 Why Leash Laws Matter 🐾

Leash laws aren’t just about rules — they’re about safety. Keeping your pet on a sturdy, non-retractable leash:
• ✅ Prevents accidents in parking lots and busy streets.
• ✅ Keeps your pet from approaching other animals who may be fearful, anxious, or ill.
• ✅ Helps our team keep the lobby calm and stress-free for all patients.

🚫 Why no retractable leashes?
Retractable leashes can snap, tangle, or extend too far, putting pets, owners, and staff at risk. A standard, fixed-length leash gives you better control and keeps everyone safe.

Your cooperation helps us create a safe and welcoming space for every pet that comes through our doors. 💙🐕🐾

🐾 Meet Ares! 🐾

This sweet pup, Rose, came in after a fishing hook got stuck in her lip 🎣🐾.

Fishing gear may seem harmless, but curious pets can get hurt in an instant. Always keep hooks and tackle stored safely, and if your pet gets snagged—don’t try to remove it yourself. Head straight to your veterinarian for safe care.

🐾 Why Socialization Matters

Socialization isn’t just about playtime—it’s about preparing your pet for a lifetime of positive experiences.

✅ Pets who are properly socialized:
• Are less anxious in new environments
• Respond better to grooming and vet visits
• Handle loud noises, new people, and other animals more calmly
• Are safer around children and strangers
• Are more confident and happy overall

🚫 Poor socialization can lead to:
• Fear-based aggression
• Separation anxiety
• Destructive behaviors
• Difficulty handling routine care

🎯 The best time to socialize pets is early—but it’s never too late to start. Ask us how to introduce your pet safely to new people, pets, places, and situations.

👉 A well-socialized pet isn’t just easier to live with—they’re safer, healthier, and more joyful.

💧 Why Urine Testing Matters for Your Pet 🐾

We know — it’s not the most glamorous topic, but your pet’s urine can tell us so much about their health!

Routine urine testing helps us catch potential issues early, often before any symptoms appear.

Here’s why it’s important:
🔎 Detects early signs of illness (like kidney disease or diabetes)
🦠 Identifies infections, crystals, or inflammation
💧 Keeps an eye on hydration and organ health
📊 Monitors chronic conditions over time
🛡️ Prevents small problems from becoming serious ones

Urinalysis is fast, painless, and one of the best ways to keep your furry friend feeling their best! 💙

📞 Call us today to schedule a test or learn more!
