With a new year comes change, a fresh start, and resolutions. We would like to encourage you to set a New Year’s resolution for your pets to continue to keep them as happy and healthy as possible.

The process begins with our examination of your furry one and just as importantly, having a discussion with you. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make the best choices for your loved one. Start off the year right and give us a call to keep your pet as happy and healthy in this new year!

Why does my pet need a wellness exam?
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is probably something we have all heard, but it holds true for your pets too. As an owner you may dread the day your beloved animal might come down with a serious illness or problem. However, it doesn’t always have to be a surprise. Wellness exams (preventative visits) can help us catch some problems early enough, so we can be proactive instead of reactive. The more information we are able to get can also help set expectations of what might come. You know your pet better than anyone else, so we need to hear from you. Have you noticed any change in eating, drinking, or eliminating habits, or any unusual behavior? The answers to those questions can help us guide our physical exam and diagnostic recommendations.

Our physical exam allows us to monitor many important body systems and organs and notice sometimes small changes that can be difficult to detect. We check your little one’s eyes, ears, mouth, teeth, and superficial lymph nodes, listen to the heart and lungs, observe skin, hair coat, joints, points of pain, and much more! If we notice any areas of concern we can discuss the options for further diagnostics, if indicated.

We may recommend twice yearly visits for senior pets to help detect health concerns and to prolong your pet’s lifespan and quality of life.

If you suffer from arthritis, you know that cold weather can really kick your symptoms into overdrive. Unfortunately, the same thing can happen to your pet. If you notice any of the signs listed, please consult with you veterinarian about treatment options so that you furry friend isn't in pain.

Most of us know that taking some cats to the vet can be a stressful experience for both cat and owner alike. Thus, we would like to share some helpful information about ways to potentially reduce stress leading up to your cat’s exam and also ways in which to prepare.

Ways to Reduce Stress When Taking Your Cat to the Vet:

The first is carrier acclimation. Rather than storing the carrier in the back of your closet, keep it out in an area where your cat spends a lot of time. Add familiar bedding and toys and cover it with a blanket or towel. This will let your cat know the carrier doesn’t have to be a scary place and can actually be comfortable!

Other methods to reduce stress on your cat involve food. Withholding food from your cat for several hours before traveling can help to avoid motion sickness. That being said, you should consider consulting with your vet before withholding food from elderly or sick cats. On the flip side, you can bring your cats favorite treats along and use these as a reward or distraction to help reduce any stress your cat may experience at the vet. Bringing along some of your cat’s favorite toys or familiar bedding can also help your cat feel more comfortable.

There is also the option of anti-anxiety medication. While this shouldn’t be a first resort for all cats, some cats may never feel comfortable at the vet, no matter how many treats and toys you provide. Speak to your veterinarian if you think your cat may benefit from anti-anxiety medication when going in for a check-up.

Enjoy your weekend!

Walk them/exercise during daylight hours to avoid times when fireworks are likely to be set off. Besides being a healthy thing to do, taking animals out for play and exercise earlier in the day can help burn off extra energy, which limits their anxiety later and helps them rest more soundly.

Close windows and curtains to muffle the sound of fireworks

Play calming music or tv well before the fireworks start. This will help to mask the firework sounds.

Create a quiet space where your dog/cat/critter can feel safe and in control.

Offer you pet a blanket-covered crate, with soft bedding inside.

When possible do not leave your pet alone during fireworks. If you are going out, see if a friend or family member can pet sit your animals.
