Socialization tips for new puppy and kitten pet parents! 📝
Adopting a new kitten or puppy is a wonderful and exciting experience. It is also a time where a little extra planning can help a new pet develop the calm and confident temperament that will help them enjoy life to the fullest. 🩷
☑️ Create a socialization plan specifically for your dog or cat to prepare him or her for life in your household. Plan exposures to the animals, individuals, environments, activities and objects that will be part of his or her new life.
☑️ Provide regular positive and diverse experiences to encourage your dog or cat to enjoy new experiences without becoming fearful or aggressive.
☑️ Provide praise, play and treats to reward engagement. Allow the dog or cat to withdraw if he or she is uncomfortable. Move at a pace appropriate for your pet’s personality.
☑️ Well-managed puppy or kitten socialization classes are a good way to socialize your new pet within the sensitive period.
✅ Puppies or kittens that are not fully vaccinated should not be exposed to unvaccinated animals or places they may have been (such as outdoor parks).
☑️ Continue to reward your dog or cat for calm or playful responses to social interactions throughout his or her life.
☑️ For dogs or cats with special behavioral needs, develop a plan with your veterinarian and/or another animal behavior expert. 🥼

Our favorite day is here!!! New friends Friday! 😍
07/18/2024
We all have heard the saying "Thirsty Thursday"....well we are taking the opportunity this Thursday to discuss standing water and your pets! 💦
Standing water like lakes, ponds, and puddles can contain parasites and bacteria that can be harmful to dogs. 🦠
Some common parasites include:
✅ Giardia: A single-celled protozoan parasite that can live in a dog's intestines. It's spread through f***l contamination and can be found in standing water like puddles or bowls. Giardia can cause diarrhea and cramping in dogs by making it difficult for them to absorb water and nutrients. It's especially dangerous for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with compromised immune systems. Giardia cases are more common in the summer when people and pets spend more time outdoors. ☀️
✅ Cryptosporidium: A waterborne parasite that can cause diarrhea in dogs.
✅ Coccidia: A waterborne parasite that can cause diarrhea in dogs.
Other waterborne diseases that can affect dogs include:
✅Leptospirosis: A serious bacterial disease that can be potentially life-threatening to dogs.
🥼 A recommended vaccination from your veterinarian can help protect against leptospirosis.
Give our office a call for your pet’s annual exam and discuss vaccinating against leptospirosis as well as ways to protect your dog from these other items. ♥️

We are calling today, “Think about it Tuesday”! 🤔
Let’s keep learning about Zoonotic Diseases. 🔬🧫
Zoonotic diseases are diseases spread between animals and humans.
While Veterinarians and veterinary medicine play a strong role with your pets annual physicals and yearly preventions… here are 5 ways for YOU to help protect your pet and family:
🥼Regular veterinary exams.
💦 Wash your hands with soap and running water after contact with animals.
🐇Enjoy wildlife from a distance
💉Vaccinate all pets against rabies
💩Clean up after your pet

Let's talk Lepto!💥
Leptospirosis is a disease caused by infection with Leptospira bacteria. These bacteria can be found worldwide in soil and water.
🥼Veterinarians will recommend vaccinating against Leptospirosis along with your pets other routine vaccines.
Since there is no avoiding soil and water, here are a few precautions you can take:
💦Exposure to or drinking from slow-moving or stagnant water sources, like ponds, rivers, lakes, or streams
🐕Roaming on rural properties (because of exposure to potentially infected wildlife or farm animals or urine-contaminated water sources)
🐇Exposure to wild animals (especially rodents) or farm animals, even if in the backyard
🐾Contact with other dogs (such as in urban areas, dog parks, or boarding or training facilities)
Give our office a call for further information or to set up a vaccine appointment!

💥We are less then 2 weeks out from July 4th Celebrations!
Fireworks, picnics and other Fourth of July traditions can be great fun for people. But all of the festivities can be frightening and even dangerous for animals.
Noisy fireworks and other celebrations can startle animals and cause them to run away; holiday foods can be unhealthy; summer heat and travel can be dangerous; and potentially dangerous debris can end up lying on the ground where pets can eat or play with it.
Make yourself a pet care checklist if you are hosting, traveling or around festivities this holiday! 📝
For your anxiety concerns, call our office now to get in for an appointment in time for the holiday! 📞

Phew, it's getting HOT outside!! 🔥
If it’s hot outside for you, it’s even hotter for your pet!
Take walks, hikes or runs during the cooler hours of the day.
Avoid hot surfaces, such as asphalt, that can burn your pet’s paws.
Leave them at home and NOT in your car. Even 5 minutes and windows cracked, can be deadly to your dog!
Have a safe and wonderful weekend! 🐾
