🐾 Did you know that pets can be affected by the time change back to Standard Time? Just like us, they thrive on routine! When the clocks "fall back," it can disrupt their feeding and walking schedules. To help your furry friends adjust smoothly, consider shifting their routine by 10-15 minutes a few days before the change. This way, they'll be ready to “fall back” right alongside you! 🍂⏰

🐾 Adopt, Don’t Shop: Give a Dog a Forever Home! 🐾

Changes in Disposition 🐶: Increased aggression, anxiety, or withdrawal can indicate pain. 2. Altered Eating Habits 🍽️: A sudden loss of appetite or difficulty eating may be a red flag. 3. Mobility Issues 🐕: Limping, stiffness, or reluctance to move can signal discomfort. 4. Vocalization 🐱: Excessive whining, crying, or purring can be ways pets express pain. 5. Physical Changes 👀: Swelling, redness, or abnormal posture might point to underlying issues. If you notice any of these signs, consult with us. Early detection and treatment can make a significant difference in your pet’s quality of life. Let’s work together to ensure our pets live pain-free, happy lives.
