🐈 National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day! 🐈‍⬛

Did you know that less than HALF of pet cats receive annual check-ups? 🤯 Regular vet visits are essential for your cat’s health because cats are absolute masters at hiding illnesses. So, routine check-ups help catch issues early and can prevent serious health problems, ensuring your feline friend stays happy and healthy! 🐱🩺

📅 Why It Matters:
- Detect health issues early.
- Keep vaccinations up to date.
- Maintain dental health.
- Manage weight and diet.

Celebrate National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day by scheduling a vet visit for your kitty today! 🐾❤️

Tuxie wanted to talk to everyone about an important topic...microchips! 🗣️

As pet owners, our furry friends are family. That's why microchipping is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure their safety. Here's why:

🔍 LOST PETS REUNITED: Did you know that pets with microchips are 20 TIMES more likely to be reunited with their owners? The chances of finding a lost dog increase to 52%, compared to only 22% without a microchip. For cats, it's even more crucial – only 2% of non-microchipped cats find their way home, while 38% of microchipped cats are reunited with their families!

📋 KEEP INFORMATION UP TO DATE: Microchipping is only effective if your contact information is current. If you've moved or changed phone numbers, make sure to update your pet's microchip details.

💡 PEACE OF MIND: Microchips are a simple, permanent solution that lasts your pet’s lifetime. No need to worry about collars or tags getting lost – your pet’s ID is always with them.

🏥 QUICK & EASY: Microchipping is a quick, safe procedure that can be done at your next vet visit.

Protect your pets and give yourself peace of mind. Microchip your pet today and keep their information up to date! 🐶🐱

Happy World Cat Day! 🐾🎉

Today we’re celebrating our feline friends and all the joy they bring into our lives! Whether they're purring in your lap, playfully swatting at a toy, or simply lounging in a sunbeam, cats have a special way of making our days brighter.

Here are a few fun facts about our furry companions:

1. 🐱 **Purring Power:** Cats purr at a frequency that can promote healing and reduce stress. So when they’re purring in your lap, they might just be doing you some good too!

2. 🌟 **Whisker Wonders:** A cat's whiskers are highly sensitive and can detect even the slightest changes in their environment. They help them navigate and gauge their surroundings.

3. 💤 **Cat Nap Champions:** On average, cats sleep between 12-16 hours a day. It’s hard work being this adorable!

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the love, laughter, and endless entertainment our cats provide. Share your favorite cat photos and stories with us today! 📸🐾

And remember, if your kitty needs a check-up or any special care, we’re here to help. Happy World Cat Day from all of us at Prairie View Animal Hospital! 🐈❤️

It's Fresh Breath Day! 🦷 Your oral health is very important, but today’s also the perfect day to focus on your pet’s dental health and keep their breath fresh and fabulous! 😁🐶🐱 Fresh breath isn’t just about a sweet-smelling snuggle—it’s a key part of overall health.

Here’s how you can make the most of Fresh Breath Day:
1. **Brush Regularly**: Use a pet-friendly toothpaste and brush their teeth daily.
2. **Dental Chews & Toys**: They help reduce plaque and tartar build-up.
3. **Healthy Diet**: Feed a balanced diet that promotes dental health.
4. **Vet Check-ups**: Schedule regular dental exams with your vet to prevent issues.

Let’s keep those tails wagging and purrs coming with fresh breath and a healthy smile! Share a pic of your pet showing off their smile and tag us!

It's still hot out there, folks! 🥵 ☀

Temperatures keep rising, and keeping your pets hydrated is crucial for their health! Proper hydration helps regulate body temperature, supports digestion, and keeps energy levels up. 🌟

Keep your furry friends cool and hydrated with these quick tips:

💧Always Fresh Water: Ensure constant access to clean water.
💧Avoid Peak Heat: Limit exercise during the hottest parts of the day. Early morning or late evening walks are cooler and safer for your pets.
💧Shady Spots: Provide cool, shaded areas for your pets to relax.
💧Frozen Treats: Freeze water or broth with pet-friendly fruits for a refreshing treat.
💧Hydration Helpers: Add water or low-sodium broth to your pet's kibble to make their meals more hydrating.

If you notice any signs of dehydration, consult your vet right away. Stay cool and hydrated, everyone! 🐶💦🐱

☀️🐾 Temperatures have been soaring, so it's crucial to keep our furry friends safe and cool! Here are some tips to beat the heat:

1️⃣ **Hydration is Key**: Ensure your pet always has access to fresh water. Add ice cubes to keep it cooler longer.

2️⃣ **Shade and Shelter**: Indoors, ensure there are cool areas your pet can retreat to. If you need to be outdoors, create shady spots with umbrellas or trees.

3️⃣ **Limit Exercise**: Schedule walks and playtime during cooler parts of the day, like early morning or late evening.

4️⃣ **Cooling Mats and Fans**: Provide cooling mats or wet towels for your pet to lie on. Fans can also help circulate air.

5️⃣ **Never Leave in Cars**: Even with windows cracked, cars heat up rapidly. Leave pets at home during hot weather.

6️⃣ **Watch for Signs of Heatstroke**: Excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, and vomiting are signs. Contact us immediately if you suspect heatstroke.

Let's keep our pets safe and cool during this heatwave! 🌡️🐶🐱
