November is Pet Diabetes Awareness Month. Like people, dogs and cats can be diagnosed with diabetes. Estimated to affect at least one in 200 cats and one in 300 dogs, diabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrine disorders in pets. Diabetes mellitus in dogs and cats results from a shortage of insulin in their bodies. When your pet’s body produces little or no insulin, or if it cannot be used properly, glucose (sugar) builds up in the blood instead of being used for fuel. Does your pet have signs of diabetes? Take the quiz and work with your veterinarian to identify next steps.
Find out if your dog or cat is at risk for diabetes with this quick lifestyle quiz.

Today is National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day! Show your cat the love and care they deserve by making sure they visit the veterinarian at least once a year. 🐱
Check this out ! ❤If you look closely, you'll see microscopic larvae wiggling throughout red blood cells in a blood sample from a heartworm positive dog that came to us last week. Named 'Microfilaria', this parasite is the larval stage of heartworms. If left untreated, they will develop into adult worms and can cause severe damage to the host's heart and lungs. Thankfully this dog will be treated for heartworms but this serves as a great reminder of why monthly heartworm medication is KEY to PREVENTION! ❤
Today is #GetToKnowYourCustomersDay, and we'd like to express our gratitude for the relationships and bonds we've created over the years with all of you and your pets! ❤️ Please share your answers in the comments! 🐾

· Recommend what is in the best interest of the patient- Encouraging responsible pet ownership and promoting preventative healthcare.
· Effective Communication- History documentation, verbal and written reports to clients, throughout the hospital.
· A healthy environment - For all staff, clients and patients: Professional, courteous and positive; clean and organized.
· Be open to change, accepting that quality control is a continuously improving process.
· Strive to follow the AAHA standards of accreditation, to provide the best quality healthcare delivery, client satisfaction and efficient staff utilization.
