🔥😫🚫 Female pets in heat can be a challenge to handle. They may be more vocal, bleed excessively, and urinate more frequently.

👍 Spaying your pet eliminates these difficulties, and also helps reduce their urge to roam.

🐾🥩🥦 When it comes to your pet's health, diet is everything. After evaluating your pet's body condition score, take a closer look at what they're eating.

Are they getting the right balance of high-quality ingredients like lean proteins, complex carbs, and healthy fats? Or do they indulge in a diet of sugary snacks and junk food? 🍫🍔🍟

🐶🐱 Even small treats can add up quickly and provide little to no nutritional value. It's important to take an honest look at your pet's diet and make adjustments if needed.

And don't worry, choosing the appropriate diet for your pet can be challenging, but we're here to help. Call (585) 546-1550 to talk to your veterinarian.

🦊 Canine distemper is a viral infection that can be deadly for dogs, particularly puppies and unvaccinated dogs. The virus can also infect foxes, wolves, coyotes, skunks, and raccoons.

Distemper is spread through aerosolized droplets from an infected animal or contaminated objects. The virus can attack the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems, leading to symptoms such as fever, nasal discharge, coughing, lethargy, and vomiting.

If your pet displays any of these symptoms, or if you're concerned about their risk of infection, call (585) 546-1550 to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced Veterinarians. We're here to help keep your pet healthy and happy! 🩺

Is your dog trying to tell you something? Understanding their body language is key! While vocalizations are important, dogs primarily communicate through body posture and facial expression. Make sure to observe their entire body and consider the context to accurately interpret their non-verbal messages. Your pup will appreciate it!

Hey pet parents! 🐶🐾 Want to improve your communication with your dog? Take a page from their book!

Approach them first with your body angled away, or drop your shoulder when calling them. Instead of reaching out, offer a treat and let them come to you. Make sure to keep your body language relaxed and calm, like the confident dog's "loose" posture. You'll be speaking their language in no time!

🐶🐱 Responsible pet ownership includes neutering your male pet.

🚫 Neutering prevents testicular tumors and decreases their risk for prostate problems, perianal tumors, and hernias.

👉 Plus, neutered males are less likely to roam and get into dangerous situations.

Dogs communicate through body language and facial expressions, so it's important to pay attention to these cues to prevent bites and fights. Look for signs of discomfort, such as lip licking or avoiding eye contact, and give your dog space when they need it. With a little awareness, you can keep everyone safe and happy.

👉 Attention cat owners: currently, there is no approved treatment for heartworm disease in cats. Instead, management focuses on stabilizing the cat and closely monitoring their condition with frequent chest X-rays.

Steroids and antibiotics may be used to help address inflammation and the heartworm's Wolbachia infection. Unfortunately, the average survival time for heartworm-infected cats is only one and a half years.

Providing year-round heartworm prevention is an important part of your pet’s health care plan. If you would like to discuss the various preventives, contact our team by calling (585) 546-1550, so we can determine what protocol would best fit you and your pet’s lifestyle.

👉🙅‍♀️ Hey there, pet lovers! Here's a quick tip for you: Avoid feeding your furry friends onions, garlic, and chives!

🚫 Although you may love these herbs, they can cause red blood cell damage and lead to vomiting, weakness, nausea, and collapse in your pets. Be cautious and keep these ingredients away from your pets to prevent a health emergency!🙏

📊 Is your pet's weight in the healthy range? While a number on the scale can be a good indicator, it's important to also consider your pet's body condition. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

😽🐶 You should be able to feel their ribs under a slight fat covering.

😽🐶 Your pet should have a visible waistline when viewed from above.

😽🐶 Your pet should have an abdominal tuck.

😽🐶 If you can see your pet’s ribs and spine, they are too thin.

😽🐶 If your pet has no discernible waistline and their belly sags, they’re too heavy.

Talk to our team to determine if your pet's body condition is healthy.
