Lyme disease is an emerging disease transmitted by the
blacklegged tick in Michigan. Local risk for Lyme disease varies
depending on whether infected ticks are in the area. Several local
and state agencies partner to conduct surveillance for Lyme
disease in people and animals. The below map classifies risk
based upon field collected and infected ticks and reported human
cases of Lyme disease in Michigan (see the legend for specific
criteria). The map was last updated in March 2024.

Happy 4th of July from the Animal Hospital of Kentwood!
Reminder: We are closed today and will re-open tomorrow morning.
As we celebrate this day of freedom and fireworks, let's also remember the safety and comfort of our beloved pets. Here are some tips to ensure your furry friends have a safe and stress-free holiday:

🐾 Keep them indoors: Fireworks can be frightening for pets. Create a cozy, quiet space for them to retreat.

🐾 Update ID tags: In case they get scared and run, make sure their tags and microchip information are up-to-date.

🐾 Avoid scraps: Keep your pets away from BBQ foods and alcohol, which can be harmful to them.

🐾 Watch out for debris: After the celebrations, clean up any firework debris to prevent ingestion by curious pets.

Wishing you all a happy and safe Independence Day filled with joy, laughter, and lots of tail wags! 🐶🐱❤️

As pet parents, it's essential to keep an eye on our furry friends' health, and a crucial part of that is understanding their Body Condition Score (BCS). But what exactly is BCS, and why is it important?

What is Body Condition Score (BCS)?

BCS is a simple, standardized way to assess whether your pet is underweight, overweight, or just right. Vets use a scale, typically ranging from 1 to 9, to determine this. See the photo below for a quick rundown.

What Can You Do For Your Pet's?

🔍 Regular Checks: Feel your pet's ribs regularly and look for a defined waist.
🍲 Balanced Diet: Feed a balanced diet suited to your pet's age, size, and activity level.
🚶 Exercise: Ensure your pet gets regular exercise to maintain a healthy weight.

Our team is always here to help! If you have any questions or concerns about your pet’s BCS or overall health, don’t hesitate to reach out or ask during your next visit. Together, we can ensure your pets live happy, healthy lives! 🐶🐱❤️

It is hot out there today! The sidewalk can be much hotter than you think and could injury your dogs paws. We recommend walking your canine friends in the early morning or late evening when it is cooler and letting them walk on grass if possible. If the sidewalk it too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws!
