🐾 Mindful Monday: Caring for Anxious Pets 🐾
This is Chanel, a gentle soul who’s had some stressful vet visits in the past. At her last appointment elsewhere, she was unnecessarily muzzled, possibly because of breed bias. She’s not aggressive, just anxious, but the muzzle caused her so much stress that she tried to take it off and cut into her skin. 💔
At Oath Animal Hospital, we know that anxiety can be overwhelming for pets. That’s why we practice low-stress handling techniques to ensure every visit is as calm and compassionate as possible. With us, Chanel was comfortable and muzzle-free, and her experience was much more positive. 💖✨
We take the time to understand each pet’s emotional needs, making sure they feel safe and loved during their time with us. 🐶💙

🐾 Planning a visit to a friend or family member's home where they have a furry feline friend? 🏡 Here's a purr-fect guide on the best way to approach their cat and make a new furry friend! 🐱💕
1. 🤚 Approach with Caution: Cats can be sensitive to sudden movements or loud noises. Approach slowly and calmly, allowing the cat to sniff your hand before attempting to pet them.
2. 🧐 Respect Their Space: Cats are territorial creatures. Give them their space and let them come to you if they're curious. Avoid looming over them or reaching out too quickly.
3. 🐾 Let Them Lead: Allow the cat to initiate contact. If they rub against you or nuzzle your hand, it's a sign they're comfortable and open to interaction.
4. 🗣️ Soft and Gentle: When petting, use gentle strokes and avoid rough handling. Pay attention to their body language—if they start to twitch their tail or flatten their ears, it may be a sign they've had enough.
5. 🎁 Treat Time: Win their heart through their stomach! Bring along some tasty treats to offer as a token of friendship. This can help build a positive association with your presence.
6. 🕊️ Be Patient: Every cat is unique and may take time to warm up to new people. Don't force interaction; let them come to you at their own pace.
Remember, building trust with a cat takes time and patience. By approaching them calmly and respectfully, you'll be well on your way to earning their affection and becoming their new favorite human visitor! 🌟 #CatFriendly #FurryFriends #PetEtiquette #OathAnimalHospital #LevittownAnimalHospital l #PetCare #AnimalCare #PetLovers #PetFriendly #DogHealth #CatHealth #VetMed #LongIslandVets #LongIsland #NewYork #AnimalHospital #BestofLI #DrMichaelFunk

✖️Myth: Cats don't need bathing because they clean themselves.
😺Reality: While cats are meticulous groomers, bathing may be necessary for certain conditions like skin issues or heavy matting. Long-haired breeds may also benefit. However, over-bathing can strip their skin of oils.
✖️Myth: Cats Hate Grooming and Will Resist Any Attempts to Be Groomed
😺Reality: Many cats can be trained to tolerate and even enjoy grooming with patience and positive reinforcement. Gradual sessions and suitable tools can make it comfortable for them.
✖️Myth: Cats don't need nail trims.
😺Reality: Indoor cats or those with limited scratching may need nail trims to prevent discomfort or injury. Regular trims promote cat health and well-being.

🐾 Treat Time Tips: The Dos and Don'ts for Giving Treats to Your Pup! 🐾
Hey there, fellow dog lovers! Let's talk about everyone's favorite part of the day – treat time! 🦴 But did you know there's a right and wrong way to dish out those delicious goodies? Here are some tips to keep in mind:
🐕Do's:
✅ Give Treats with an Open Palm: Offer treats with an open palm to avoid accidental nips or bites from your pet.
✅ Use Treats for Training: Motivate your pup with treats when teaching new tricks or reinforcing good behavior.
✅ Offer Healthy Options: Choose treats made with wholesome ingredients such as natural meats, fruits, and veggies for your pet's overall health.
✅ Practice Patience: Wait for your dog to display calm behavior, like sitting or lying down, before offering the treat to reinforce good manners.
✅ Be Mindful of Allergies: Check the ingredients list to avoid triggering food sensitivities or allergies in your pet.
🙅♂️DONT'S
❌ Overdo It: Avoid excessive treat-giving to prevent health issues like obesity or digestive problems.
❌ Use Treats as a Substitute: Treats should complement your dog's balanced diet, not replace it. Ensure they receive essential nutrients from regular meals.
❌ Reward Begging: Refrain from rewarding begging behavior, as it only reinforces it. Stick to your training routines for better manners.
❌ Ignore Dental Health: Incorporate dental treats into your pet's routine to promote oral hygiene and reduce plaque buildup.
Remember, proper treat-giving enhances your bond with your furry friend while promoting their well-being. Let's keep those tails wagging and enjoy treat time responsibly! 🐾💙

Valentine's Day is a perfect opportunity to spoil your furry friends, but it's important to do so in a healthy way. Here are some ideas for treats and activities for your dog or cat and scroll through our photos for ways Oath Animal Hospital spoils our patients:
For Dogs:
🐶Peanut Butter Hearts -Make heart-shaped treats using natural peanut butter (xylitol-free) mixed with oats or whole wheat flour. Bake them until golden brown for a special Valentine's Day snack.
🐶Frozen Fruit Cubes - Freeze small pieces of dog-safe fruits like bananas, strawberries, or blueberries in ice cube trays. These refreshing treats are perfect for warmer weather and provide a healthy dose of vitamins.
🐶Homemade Broth - Create a homemade broth by simmering chicken or beef bones with water and a variety of dog-safe vegetables. Strain the broth and serve it as a tasty and hydrating treat, especially if your dog loves licking ice cubes.
For Cats:
🐱Tuna or Salmon Treats - Bake small, bite-sized treats using canned tuna or salmon (in water, not oil). Cats love the smell and taste, and it's a healthy source of protein.
🐱Catnip Toys - Treat your cat to a new toy filled with catnip. Watching them roll around in blissful ecstasy is a joy in itself.
🐱Cardboard Hideaway - Create a cozy hideaway for your cat using cardboard boxes. Cut holes in the boxes and stack them together to make tunnels and cubbies. Cats love exploring new spaces and will appreciate the enrichment.
Remember to always introduce new treats and toys gradually, and monitor your pet for any adverse reactions. With these ideas, you can spoil your furry friends while keeping their health and well-being in mind. Happy Valentine's Day to you and your beloved pets! 🐾❤️
