November 12th: World Animal Enrichment Day
🌟 What is Enrichment for Cats? 🌟

Enrichment is all about providing our cats with mental and physical stimulation to keep their curious minds and agile bodies active. It's more than just toys; it's a way to create an engaging and fulfilling environment for your feline friends!

🌟 Why is Enrichment Important? 🌟

1️⃣ Mental Stimulation: Cats are intelligent creatures! Enrichment activities like puzzle feeders and interactive toys challenge their brains and reduce boredom.

2️⃣ Physical Exercise: Keep your cats active and healthy by providing opportunities for them to climb, jump, and play.

3️⃣ Stress Reduction: Enrichment can help alleviate stress and anxiety, making for a happier, more relaxed cat.

4️⃣ Bonding Time: Engaging with your cat through play and interactive activities strengthens your bond and provides quality time together.

November 11th- Veterans Day

On this Veterans Day, we honor not only the heroes in uniform but also the four-legged companions who served alongside them. Military working dogs have provided loyalty, protection, and service in times of need, just as you have. Their bond with service members is a testament to the strength and courage found in all who serve.

As a veterinary practice dedicated to the well-being of animals, we understand the special role that pets play in the lives of veterans and their families. Whether they offer companionship, emotional support, or assistance, these pets are true heroes in their own right.

To all who have served, and to those who continue to serve, thank you. Your service will never be forgotten. We are honored to serve you and your pets with the same dedication and care that you have shown to our nation.

Winter Heartworm and Flea Prevention-
As the temperature drops, it's easy to assume that heartworm and flea prevention for your pets can take a back seat. However, these pesky parasites don't hibernate in the winter, and they can still pose a threat to your beloved fur babies. Here's why winter prevention is crucial:
1. Heartworms Don't Hibernate: Heartworm-carrying mosquitoes may be less active in the cold, but they're not gone. Heartworm disease can be devastating, and prevention is the best defense.
2. Fleas Find Warm Havens: Fleas can infest your home year-round. With the cozy warmth inside, your pets can still fall victim to fleas. Prevention is the key to keeping them itch-free.

Stay consistent, continue your pet's heartworm and flea prevention regimen throughout the winter. Consistency is key to keeping them safe.

November 7th- National Canine Lymphoma Awareness Day- Lymphoma is one of the most common canine cancers, so for National Canine Lymphoma Awareness Day, we wanted to talk a little about it.
Lymphoma is caused by many different factors but can present most commonly with swollen lymph nodes. As it progresses, it can cause lethargy, vomiting, and diarrhea. Early intervention is very important, so if you notice that your dog feels swollen around their chin, their back legs, or in their armpits. Please give us a call to take a look at your pet at 724-925-8244 to get them a nose-to-tail exam!

Some of you may know that my husband has been deployed for the last 10 months. I am happy to say that he made it home over the weekend. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been understanding while I’ve been juggling being a business owner and boss, a doctor, a pet mom, and a mom of two little humans all on my own. There should be less rescheduling of appts in the future. Thank you again.
