Ever notice how your pet's face says it all?
Whether it's the guilty look after chewing your favorite shoes or the "feed me now" stare, pets have a way of communicating with just one look. No words needed, they’ve mastered the art of expression!
How has your pet trained you with a look? Share it with us in the comments below!
I have a team that does what’s necessary to get the job done! The pet is fine, just sedated.
What to Do if Your Cat Throws Up Blood:
First, stay calm! Next, check for other symptoms like lethargy, loss of appetite, diarrhea, or discomfort. These signs, along with vomiting blood, could indicate different issues, such as:
Diet changes
Eating too fast
Swallowing something foreign
GI disorders
Infection
Stomach ulcer
Blood clotting issues
Cancer
We’re here 24/7 at Jackson Pet Emergency Clinic for all your emergency needs.
Is your pet scratching, licking, or having stomach issues? It could be a food allergy!
Common ingredients like beef, chicken and lamb might be causing your furry friend discomfort. If you suspect a food allergy, talk to your vet about the best diet for your pet’s health. Your pet deserves to feel their best, let’s keep those tails wagging and those bellies happy!
With cookouts and family gatherings in the horizon, some foods that we enjoy can be toxic to our pets! Always keep these away from your furry friends:
Sugar-free gum/candies with xylitol
Macadamia nuts
Fruits with pits (cherries, peaches)
Grapes & raisins
Garlic & onions
Chocolate
Alcohol
Coffee & tea
Keep your pets safe by avoiding these harmful foods!

Mushrooms, whether in your kitchen or outdoors, can easily catch your dogs attention. While some mushrooms are safe and even healthy, others are toxic. Here’s how to protect your pup:
-Regularly check your yard, especially after rain, and remove any wild mushrooms.
-Keep your dog on a leash during walks and monitor their foraging.
-Learn about local mushroom species to stay informed.
If you suspect your dog has ingested a poisonous mushroom, call us at Jackson Pet Emergency Clinic. We’re available 24/7 to provide immediate advice and care.

Wishing you and your pets a safe and relaxing Labor Day!
I want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone that patiently waited today, and from 12:30pm-2:30am that was everyone that I had dealings with. No one fussed, no one was rude. Many people sat and talked in our waiting room. Thank you for being kind to each other, to my staff and my doctors. My team was tired, but they hung in there, multiple staff members stayed way past their shift without being asked, we had two doctors seeing patients and doing emergency surgeries! Again, thank you clients it did not go unnoticed!!
Happy Ginger Cat Appreciation Day!
Today we celebrate the feisty felines who act like they’re the stars of the show. They are the Garfield of our homes, demanding treats, claiming all the comfy spots, and acting like they own the place (because, let's be real, they do).
So give your ginger cat some extra love today!
Do you ever notice how your dog can hear a wrapper from across the house but refuses to hear you calling them from two feet away?
We can absolutely confirm that this "selective hearing" is real and is proven by the Institute of Sneaky Snacks! Don't forget to give your pup an extra treat today, you know they heard you grab it!
Did you know regular grooming keeps your pet’s coat clean and mat-free? For Dogs, brushing removes excess fur, helping them stay cooler and reduces shedding. For Cats, brushing helps with shedding and reduces hairballs, keeping their coat shiny.
Grab that brush and give your pets some extra love today. They’ll thank you for it!
Share a photo of your freshly groomed pet in the comments below!
Happy National Dog Day! Today, we celebrate our treasured pets who bring joy to these long hot days! Whether they're chasing their tails, digging up the garden, or flashing those puppy dog eyes for extra treats, our dogs make every day brighter.

Always be sure to play with and handle your dog’s paws so he will be good to go for getting his toenails trimmed. This is also a good way to regularly check your dog’s pads and nails for nicks, splits, cuts, or abrasions.
The best way to ensure your dog’s oral health is to have him undergo a professional cleaning by a veterinarian.
For those that are unable to brush teeth or simply want to switch up their cleaning techniques, dog dental wipes are a great solution.
Don’t skip your pet’s yearly exam. It’s much more expensive—and risky—to treat illnesses than to protect against them.
You don’t need to brush your dog’s teeth daily, although the more often the better. Most dogs aren’t too fond of the idea at first.
There are hundreds of different types of dog chews, but almost all of them have teeth-cleaning properties. The act of chewing actually benefits your dog’s oral health, in and of itself, regardless of what is being chewed on.
Peach here: This may sound a little dramatic, but when I get a lot of engagement on one of my Facebook posts, I swear you can see sparks flying. Between patrolling the rooms at JPEC and coming up with witty social media posts, my job lights me up like nothing else! What’s something you get to do that sends sparks flying in your world?
A senior dog bucket list is just what it sounds like: a list of activities your older dog would love to do while they still have the chance. Here are some ideas for the food lover.
