Boo had a check-in with Dr. Smallwood yesterday 😄

We love Wednesdays because Dr. Smallwood is in the office offering VSMT.

What is VSMT? It stands for Veterinary Spinal Manipulation Therapy, also known as animal chiropractic. This therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that may help with restoring normal motion and alleviation of pain.

If you’re interested in VSMT, schedule a consultation with Dr. Smallwood to see if it’s right for your pet.

See you next Wednesday!

Asphalt can be 25-50 degrees hotter than the air temperature on a sunny day!

If you’re going to take a walk, save it for the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler.

Before heading out, check how hot the ground is. Place the back of your hand on the pavement and hold for 7 seconds; if it’s too hot for you it’s too hot for your dog’s paws.
