June 28 is Pet Insurance Awareness Day
Let’s talk about why it matters.

Emergency and specialty care can save lives—but the costs can be unexpected. Pet insurance helps you focus on your pet’s needs, not just the bill.

That’s why a tool like Pawlicy Advisor—a free, vet-trusted platform can help you:

- Compare top plans side-by-side
- Understand what’s covered
- Find personalized options fast

If you’ve been meaning to look into pet insurance, now’s the time. Having a plan before you need it makes all the difference. https://loom.ly/TRtQpb8

Pawlicy Advisor provides free quotes, comparison charts, and help from licensed agents to get you the best pet insurance for your breed at the lowest rate.

Limping isn’t normal—even if your pet isn’t obviously in pain.

One of the most common signs of orthopedic issues in pets is a subtle, persistent limp. Whether it’s a torn ligament, hip dysplasia, or joint instability, early intervention can lead to a better outcome.

At Beacon, our orthopedic team offers advanced diagnostics and surgical expertise, including:

✅ TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) for ACL injuries
✅ Fracture repair and stabilization
✅ Joint evaluations and surgical planning
✅ Compassionate pain management and rehab support

We’re here to get your pet back on their paws—safely and confidently. Concerned about your pet? Request a consultation online: https://loom.ly/s5FWpBM

Not sure if it’s an emergency? Let’s clear things up.

When your pet’s acting off, it’s tough to know whether to wait for your regular vet—or head to the ER. Here are some common misunderstandings we hear, and the truth that could make all the difference:

Misunderstanding: "Emergency vets don’t communicate with my regular vet."
✅ Reality: At Beacon, we always share your pet’s records and updates with your primary veterinarian. Collaboration is key to excellent care.

Misunderstanding: "Emergency vets are only for life-threatening issues."
✅ Reality: We’re here for urgent needs of all types—from toxin exposure and allergic reactions to unexplained swelling, lethargy, or trauma. If you're worried, trust your instincts.
