🎆 4th of July is less than a month away! 🐾

While we look forward to the celebration, the loud noises can be terrifying for our pets. Now is the time to prepare.

If your pet suffers from firework anxiety, don't wait until the last minute—contact us to discuss prescription medication.

💊 How Medication Helps

Lower overall anxiety and help them stay calm.

Raise their fear threshold, preventing full-blown panic.

Speed up recovery time once the noise stops.

Pollen season is ramping up across the Tennessee Valley and it affects pets too!

If your dog or cat is suddenly licking paws, scratching more, dealing with ear irritation, watery eyes, or itchy skin, seasonal allergies may be the cause. Warm, windy afternoons and fresh-cut grass can make symptoms worse this time of year.

A few ways to help:
✔️ Wipe paws after outside time
✔️ Wash bedding regularly
✔️ Bathe pets routinely during allergy season
✔️ Avoid peak pollen times when possible
✔️ Talk with your vet about treatment options for your pet

If your pet seems especially uncomfortable, give us a call. We’re happy to help keep your pets comfortable this allergy season. 💚🐶🐱
