🥹We blinked and BOOM! Mazzy’s puppies are now almost 5 weeks old and are growing like crazy! Just yesterday, they were tiny little moving potatoes snuggled in their purple cocoon, and now they don’t even fit in one basket together anymore…they’re practically ready for college 🥲🐾

👻 Halloween is fun for us, but it can be a bit scary for our pets!🎃
Here are some safety tips to keep your furry friends safe this spooky season:

👻 Choose pet-friendly costumes – Make sure costumes aren’t too tight, and avoid anything that covers their eyes or restricts movement.
🎃 No Candy for Pets!!! – Keep candy and holiday foods out of reach. Several common candy ingredients and packaging products can be dangerous to pets.
💀 Secure decorations – Make sure decorations are safe and out of reach. Curious pets might chew on cords or knock over candles.
🧙‍♀️ Keep them indoors – With all the excitement, pets can get spooked. Make sure they’re in a quiet, secure space if trick-or-treaters are visiting.

The WesVet Team is wishing you and your pets a safe and happy Halloween! 🎃🐾

Teams that learn together, deworm together! 🪱👨‍🏫 Dr. Hays led a Lunch & Learn on intestinal parasites, helping our team stay sharp and up to date so every patient gets the best care possible! At WesVet, we’re always expanding our knowledge to tackle whatever challenges come our way 🩺📚

Intestinal parasites are more common than many people think! Some of the most frequent ones we see in dogs and cats include:

🪱Roundworms: Can cause bloating, diarrhea, and weight loss—especially in puppies and kittens.
🪱Hookworms: These blood-sucking parasites can lead to anemia, weakness, and dark stools.
🪱Tapeworms: Often transmitted by fleas, they show up as small, white segments near the tail or in stool.
🪱 Whipworms: These worms live in the large intestine and can cause chronic diarrhea and weight loss.
🪱 Coccidia: Tiny parasites that infect the intestines, leading to diarrhea, especially in young or immunocompromised pets.
🏞️ Giardia: A microscopic parasite that causes diarrhea, often picked up from contaminated water.

The best way to protect your pets? Monthly parasite prevention! Regular deworming and f***l testing also help us catch any sneaky infections early on. With continuous learning and a focus on preventive care, we’re proud to keep your pets happy and healthy all year round! 💙🐾

🤔Have you ever wondered how we get blood pressure readings on dogs and cats? 🐶🐱 Swipe to see Jacqueline and Kennedy setting up for a Doppler blood pressure reading on Dak! 🩺💛

👉Here’s how it works: We place a small cuff (similar to the one people use) around your pet’s leg or tail. Then, a Doppler probe sends sound waves to detect blood flow in an artery, creating a whooshing sound. As we slowly release the pressure in the cuff, the point where the sound returns helps us measure your pet’s systolic blood pressure (the top number in human readings).

This gentle and non-invasive method is great for monitoring conditions like kidney disease or heart issues, tracking stress, and keeping pets safe during anesthesia. 🐾❤️

🐾 Today is Pet Obesity Awareness Day, and it’s a great reminder to check in on our pets’ health! 🐶🐱 Did you know that an estimated 60% of cats and 56% of dogs in the U.S. are overweight or obese? Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for a longer, happier life for your furry friend.

At WesVet, we’re here to help! Book a wellness exam, and we can work together to develop a balanced diet and exercise plan tailored to your pet’s needs. Let’s keep those tails wagging and paws moving! 🐕✨

One important tool we use in assessing pet weight is Body Condition Scoring (BCS). It’s a quick and effective way to gauge if your pet is underweight, overweight, or at an ideal weight based on the amount of fat and muscle covering their body.

🐕 For dogs, an ideal score is typically between 4 and 5 out of 9. You should be able to feel their ribs without excess fat, see a defined waist, and a tuck-up from the side.

🐱 For cats, a BCS of 5 out of 9 is optimal. Their ribs should be felt easily, and they should have a slight waist and minimal abdominal fat.
Here are some ways to help your pet lose weight:
🍕 Portion control – Measure your pet’s food to avoid overfeeding.
🥕 Healthy treats – Opt for lower-calorie or natural treats like veggies.
▶️ Daily exercise – Make sure your pet gets plenty of playtime and walks.
🧸 Interactive toys – Keep your pet active indoors with engaging toys.
🏥 Regular checkups – Schedule routine bloodwork and exams to rule out underlying health issues like hypothyroidism.
Maintaining a healthy weight is more than just diet—it’s about overall well-being! Book an appointment today to start your pet’s wellness journey. 🩺🐾
