November Is Pet Diabetes Month 🩺💙

This Pet Diabetes Month, we’d like to remind you that prevention can make all of the difference!

If your pet is drinking more water than usual or unexpectedly losing weight, this could be early signs of diabetes.

Schedule a wellness screening for your pet to ensure a healthier, happier future! 🐾

It’s that time of year! 😳 😜

Why hello there! I'm Finn, Dundee Animal Hospital's pet of the week!

I'm often referred to as Finley, Mr. Finster, Boo Bear, Finnshine, and Buddy, just to name a few nicknames! I just turned the ripe young age of 17 in August, so these days, I mostly enjoy sleeping, but when I'm up for it, I like long walks and playing with my favorite toys (small tennis balls, squirrels, or anything squeaky) as long as mommy is involved. My mom and dad have loved me dearly during the 14 years I've joined the family, and mom says I'm the sweetest, bravest boy ever, and mom is NEVER wrong!

Happy November, everyone- especially to Dr. Larson and the staff at Elgin (especially the ladies...😉)!

Pet Exercise: Keep Moving As It Gets Cooler 🥶💪

Just because it’s cooler outside doesn’t mean your pet can’t get their exercise! Here are some fun ways to keep both you and your furry friend active:

🐶 For Dogs: Enjoy a game of fetch, take a brisk walk, or explore a local corn maze or pumpkin patch!

🐱 For Cats: Engage in interactive playtime, introduce new toys, or let them climb and explore their cat tower.

What are your favorite ways to exercise your pet? Share your ideas in the comments below! ⬇️

Halloween Pet Safety 👻🐾

While Halloween can be a blast for us, it can pose dangers for our pets. Check out our tips to keep them safe and healthy:

🍫 Keep Candy In A Safe Place: Candy or treats that contain chocolate or xylitol should be stored away from pets.

🕯️ Secure Decorations: Ensure candles, jack-o-lanterns, and other decorations are out of your furry friend’s reach.

🎃 Choose Comfortable Costumes: If you dress up your pet, make sure their costume is breathable and comfortable.

If you have any concerns about your pet’s safety this Halloween, do not hesitate to reach out to us!

Happy Friday from Dundee Animal Hospital's pet of the week! I'm Rosebud, aka Rosie!

I'm a 6-year-old therapy dog who loves to go places with her humans and enjoys seeing her friends at the veterinary hospital! I love my Tuffy Mighty bone (I've had at least 10!) and enjoy Cheerio treats when I'm training.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

Coming next Monday! Get your photos ready this weekend to submit for next week's annual Howl-O-Ween Pet Photo Contest!
