Dr. Elizabeth Gammon shared some tips on boosting your dog’s food game. 🐶 Here are a couple standouts:

Watch those portions
Pet obesity is an epidemic. Extra weight can be painful for your dog’s joints and lead to several health issues. If you can’t easily feel your dog’s ribs and they lack a visible waistline, they probably have some weight to lose.

Think of dental health
While nothing replaces the effectiveness of regular teeth brushing and professional dental cleanings, your dog’s dental health can benefit from dental treats. These specially formulated chew treats help reduce bacteria that can lead to stinky breath and dental disease.

For personalized nutrition recommendations, make sure to check out our Optimum Wellness Plans®. Each of these smart, affordable packages of preventive pet care includes a 1:1 nutrition coaching session with a trained advisor.

Euthanasia, often referred to as “putting to sleep,” is something we take very seriously at Banfield Pet Hospital in Magnolia.

We strive to create a calm, supportive environment to make you and your dog or cat as comfortable as possible. We reserve special rooms for these visits, where our staff will review the process of saying goodbye and you can ask any questions you have.

You can choose to be with your pet, or you can say goodbye and let our team provide a compassionate environment for your pet’s final moments.

Saying goodbye is never easy, but we hope to offer support and professional guidance throughout the process.

Stay safe out there in Magnolia! 🐕

Exposing your dog to the outside world can be risky — since there’s always the potential for contact with an infectious disease. Common diseases your dog can contract include canine flu, canine distemper, kennel cough, ringworm, and leptospirosis.

Places where your dog can contract a disease:
- Dog parks
- Stores or farmers markets
- Dog bars
- Restaurants
- Campgrounds
- Festivals
- Dog events
- Overgrown backyards
- Even just walking on a public sidewalk

Luckily, there are some simple ways to help keep your dog safe from common diseases. Two of the most important are ensuring your dog is on year-round parasite prevention and that they’re up to date on their vaccinations.

Talk to your veterinary team at Banfield Pet Hospital - Magnolia for more ways to look out for your dog’s health.

Pets typically show pain through behavioral changes. While these may be apparent in dogs, cats are notoriously good at hiding their pain — so you may need to be extra observant with feline friends. 🐱

Common signs of pain in dogs and cats:
- Slow to rise
- Changes in how cat goes up/down steps or jumps on/off things
- Going to the bathroom outside the litterbox
- Less interest in play
- Decreased grooming
- Irritability or hiding
- Licking or chewing a certain spot
- Less energy, increased sleeping
- Difficulty with or avoiding stairs

Assessing and treating your pet’s pain takes a strong partnership between you and your vet. If you think your pet may be in pain, visit your vet care team at Banfield Pet Hospital - Magnolia. Make an appointment today!
