Did you know that your pet's bad breath might be more than just an unpleasant smell? It could indicate that they have periodontal disease! If left untreated, can progress to periodontal disease in the following stages:

Stage 1 — Gingivitis is the first stage of periodontal disease. The bacteria cause gum inflammation but do not damage the supporting tooth structures.

Stage 2 — The bacteria invade under the gum line, damaging the tissue that supports the teeth. Periodontal disease is characterized as stage two when less than 25% of the supporting structures are affected.

Stage 3 — Periodontal disease is characterized as stage three when 25% to 50% of the supporting structures are damaged.

Stage 4 — Periodontal disease is characterized as stage four when greater than 50% of the supporting structures are affected. Typically, stage four teeth aren’t salvageable and must be extracted.

Did you know that dogs communicate primarily through body posture and facial expression? It's important to observe their entire body, not just one isolated part, to interpret their non-verbal messages accurately. Consider the context, including their environment and recent events, before drawing any conclusions.

🐾🌡️ Is your pet showing signs of boredom or destructive behavior? Without proper physical exercise and mental stimulation, pets can develop all sorts of problem behaviors.

😾🐶 A bored cat may become aggressive, while a bored puppy may chew furniture. Understimulated pets are also more likely to show signs of anxiety and fear aggression.

🏋️‍♀️🧠 Keep your pet happy and healthy by providing ample physical and mental stimulation. Call 941-499-7171 to talk to your veterinarian about how to keep your furry friend entertained.

🍴🐾 After your pet is spayed or neutered, you may need to make slight adjustments to their diet.

😺 While cats are atypical hosts for heartworms, they can still cause significant health problems.

Heartworm larvae typically don't mature into adulthood in cats, but the cat's immune system responds by creating a strong inflammatory response. This causes lung disease, called heartworm-associated respiratory disease (HARD), which can result in signs including coughing, increased respiratory effort, and vomiting that resemble feline asthma. 🚨

Providing year-round heartworm prevention is an important part of your pet’s health care plan. If you would like to discuss the various preventives, contact our team by calling , so we can determine what protocol would best fit you and your pet’s lifestyle.

👀 Other common garden plants that can be harmful to pets include Nightshades, Datura, Poppy, Oleander, and Foxglove.

Is your dog getting enough physical exercise? Just like people, dogs need plenty of exercise to stay healthy and happy. If your dog is barking excessively, it may be a sign that they need more physical activity. Try increasing your daily walks or hikes, or take up jogging or biking with your furry friend. A tired dog is a contented dog, and a contented dog is less likely to bark.

🐶🐱 Is your pet having trouble losing weight, even with a healthy diet and exercise? It could be a sign of an underlying health condition. Pets with metabolic and endocrine disorders, such as hypothyroidism or Cushing's disease, may require special prescription diets and management of their condition to achieve weight loss.

🩺🏥 Once the chronic condition is under control, weight loss becomes much easier. If you suspect your pet has an underlying condition, reach out to our team for help. Call 941-499-7171 to talk to your veterinarian.

🛢️🚫 Garage storage can be DANGEROUS for your furry friends!

🐶🐱 Strong chemicals and substances like paints, glues, and antifreeze can be toxic if ingested. But antifreeze is particularly hazardous, as its sweet scent can attract pets, leading to kidney failure or death even with a small amount ingested. Keep your pets safe and secure by storing these products out of reach!👀

Does your pup ever seem like they're not quite getting what you're saying? 🤔

Communication with dogs is more than just words! Try using your body language to speak to your furry friend. Approach them with your body angled away and avoid reaching out. Instead, let them come to you when they're ready, and keep your body relaxed and calm. These calming signals will show your pup that you're listening and help them feel safe and understood. 🐶🐾
