Dogs may not be able to tell us what’s wrong when they aren’t feeling well, but thankfully ultrasounds can help! If your dog is experiencing vomiting, diarrhea, significant weight loss, or loss of appetite, an ultrasound can help our team get a clear picture of your pup’s internal organs to determine what’s wrong and get them the care they need.

Do you have one of the most popular breeds in America?

02/04/2025

Yep, catnip is safe for your cat! 🌿 It’s non-toxic and non-addictive as long as you don’t go overboard. Too much can upset their stomach, so limit it to a few times a week. Always watch your cat and reach out if you have concerns. 🐾

🦃🍂 Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, family, and feasting! As you prepare for the holiday celebrations, don’t forget to keep your furry friends safe. With our Thanksgiving pet safety tips, you can ensure they celebrate the holiday with you instead of spending it at the ER vet!🐾❤️

Thanksgiving isn’t just for people—it’s for dogs, too! After all, it’s a day of gratitude, and is there anything we’re more thankful for than our pups? Here are five ways to make sure your dog is part of the festivities and feels the holiday love.

1. Host a Friendsgiving with Your Dog’s Besties
Invite your friends and their dogs over for a Friendsgiving celebration! Set up a potluck dinner where everyone brings a dish (for yourselves and the dogs!). The pups can enjoy their own mini feast, and it’ll be adorable to watch them gobble up their meals.

2. Do a Turkey Trot Together
There’s always a race going on around Thanksgiving. Find a dog-friendly turkey trot, or create your own race around the neighborhood. Running with your pup is a rewarding challenge, and you’ll feel extra thankful to cross the finish line together.

3. Take a Festive Hike and Picnic
If running isn’t your thing, enjoy the crisp fall air with a Thanksgiving Day hike. Pack a picnic with pup-friendly treats and some of your own holiday favorites. Find a scenic spot, spread out a blanket, and enjoy lunch with your furry best friend.

4. Have a Cozy Movie Marathon
If your ideal holiday is snuggling up with your dog in pajamas, this one’s for you! Curl up with a holiday movie marathon and get matching pajamas to make it feel extra special.

5. Host Your Own Puppy Bowl
Thanksgiving usually involves football—whether you like it or not! So why not bring in a version you can actually get behind and enjoy? Turn your backyard into a puppy bowl (or living room depending on the weather)! Invite friends and their dogs, set up a mini football field, and get ready for the cutest game day ever. Provide snacks, water, and awards for all the “players.” Let the zoomies begin!

How will you celebrate Thanksgiving with your pup? Do you already have a Thanksgiving tradition together? Our pups in Daycamp would love to hear about it!

Take a moment to check out these Easter safety tips for your furry friends! 🐣🌷🐰

Ever wonder why dogs twitch in their sleep? While they sleep, a dog’s brain processes information and experiences from the day through dreams. Twitching is often related to active dream cycles in the brain. Dogs experience the same dream stages as humans, - including rapid eye movement (REM). During the REM state, a dog’s eyes move around behind their closed eyelids, and the large body muscles are turned off so the dream is not physically acted out. The part of the brain that contains these off switches is called the pons. In younger dogs, the pons may still be developing, while in older dogs it may be weakening from age. This is why twitching while sleeping occurs most commonly in younger and older dogs and less often in adult dogs. It is often advised to not awaken a dog that is twitching in their sleep unless they are clearly in distress. A nightmare or night terror could be the cause of these involuntary movements, and they may wake up frightened. Try to avoid touching them so they don’t bite or scratch you as a result of being startled.
