🐾✨ Myth Buster Monday! ✨🐾

❌ Myth: Grain-free diets are always healthier for pets.
✅ Fact: Certain grain-free diets have been linked to heart disease in dogs. Always check with your veterinarian before making changes to your pet’s diet. 🐶💙

Your pet’s nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all—what’s “trendy” isn’t always what’s best. That’s why we’re here to guide you to safe, balanced choices for your furry family member. 🐾🥰

Today is and this year's theme is "Act Now: You, Me Community,” marking the first time in its 19-year history that the theme does not include the word "rabies," showing how well-established this movement has become. Whether you are an individual, part of an organization, or a decision-maker, the time to act is today. Here are some key takeaways from our "Rabies in the U.S." infographic.
🔵 In 2023, rabid animals in the U.S. totaled 3,760 - an increase of 5.1% from 3,579 in 2022.
🦇 Bats were the most frequently reported rabid animal in the U.S. in 2023. Over 1/3 of animal rabies cases in the U.S. in 2023 were bats.
0️⃣ Human cases of rabies in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico in 2023.

Remember, the best way to protect your animals from this deadly disease is through vaccination and to keep them away from wildlife that can spread the disease. Learn more at avma.org/Rabies.

✨🐾 Team Connection at Unleashed & Unwind 🐾✨

Some of our FAAH team members had the wonderful opportunity to attend Unleashed & Unwind, a special event designed for veterinary professionals to connect, relax, and recharge. 💙

This gathering was all about community—sharing experiences, supporting one another, and strengthening the bonds within the veterinary field. Events like this remind us that while we give so much to our patients every day, it’s also important to care for ourselves and build relationships with others who understand the heart behind veterinary medicine. 🩺💚

🐾 Why It Matters: Grooming

“Grooming isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling good too!”

✨ Regular grooming helps your pup by:
• 🐕 Preventing mats and tangles that can hurt skin
• 🧼 Keeping coats fresh and free of dirt & allergens
• ✂️ Trimming nails to protect joints and make walking easier
• 👂 Catching ear and eye problems before they get worse
• ❤️ Making your pet healthier, happier, and more comfortable

Because a clean, comfy dog is a happy dog! 🐶💜
