September is Pet Pain Awareness Month⤵️
A question we are often asked is “how can I tell if my pet is in pain if they cannot tell me?” And the truth is, pets can be very stoic in how they communicate that they are in pain, so at times they may not show you any signs. The most common responses to look for are depression, aggression, limping, resistance to petting or grooming, not eating, panting excessively, plus more. If you have concerns that your pet could be in pain, reach out to us at 425-742-4444 or [email protected] so that we can make your pet as comfortable as possible. 💗

✏️ Back-to-school isn’t just for the kiddos! Fall is a great time to reestablish routines for your pets, especially after a summer of chaos (or too many hot dogs).

🐶 Revisit training
🐾 Get back to consistent walks/exercise
🧠 Add some brain games for enrichment
❤️‍🩹Make sure exams are current, meds are refilled, vaccines up to date

Got a "back-to-school" pic of your pet? Drop it below, we’d love to see your scholars-in-fur! 🎓

🚨 Retired, but still stealing the spotlight! 🚨

Look who strutted into the clinic today!? Our former superstar vet assistant Dawn and her equally fabulous sidekick, Pixie! 💁‍♀️🐾

Dawn may be living that sweet retired life (brunch at 10, mimosas at noon and naps by 2 🤣jkjk), but she swung by for a visit to get Pixie caught up on her vaccines and a fresh paw-dicure. 💉💅Pixie took it like a champ, and Dawn reminded us that retirement looks good on her.😉Thanks for your continued support Dawn!

Once part of the team, always part of the family. 🩵

📚🐾 "Baxter Finds a Home" – A Tail of Love & Legacy 🐾📚

We had a special treat at the clinic today! One of our amazing clients, the Knox family, surprised us with a copy of their adorable children's book, "Baxter Finds a Home." 💙 This heartwarming story tells the journey of their beloved dog Baxter’s adoption and the beautiful life that followed. 🐶✨

Even more special? Our copy is personally signed - paw print and all! 🐾📖 What a thoughtful and touching way to honor Baxter’s memory. Though Baxter has since crossed the rainbow bridge, his story lives on, bringing smiles and inspiration to kids and animal lovers alike.

The Knox family brought along their new furry friend, Chloe, who was happy to join in on the fun and photos with our team members Kenny, Alyssa, and Trena! 📸🐕

Huge shoutout to the Knox family for sharing Baxter’s legacy with us. If you're looking for a heartfelt read for your kiddos, you can find "Baxter Finds a Home" on Amazon!

Dogs often sneeze during play to signal friendliness and prevent roughhousing from escalating. These calming signals help communicate that their actions are playful and not aggressive, keeping interactions safe and fun for both dogs and humans.
