Doctor Play Day at Eagle Creek Park resulted in only one of your three fearless leaders ending up in the lake! Points to whoever can guess which doctor tipped her kayak!

We are so appreciative of our clients and our staff for allowing us this time away from the office to soak up the sun and be together. Mother Nature continues to bless us with sunshine 🌞 and we are grateful!

Friends! We are completely FREAKING OUT about this handsome boy!

After being told he was >ahem< a little bit chubby about a year ago, his owners went to work! In between scheduling him for knee surgery and then taking him through physical therapy afterwards, they managed to help Bodi lose πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰THIRTY POUNDS! πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰

This is an absolutely HUGE achievement!! We are so proud of both Bodi and his humans for prioritizing his health and recovery. This is not an easy feat so we are celebrating them today! πŸ₯³ πŸ₯³

🦷πŸͺ₯Let's talk about the importance of routine dental cleanings and oral hygiene for your furry friends! πŸΆπŸˆβ€β¬›

Dental disease is the most commonly diagnosed medical problem in both dogs and cats. It's estimated that about 70-80% of cats and dogs develop oral disease by age 3. Dental check-ups and routine cleanings help with the treatment of dental problems as well as early detection of issues!

Periodontal disease happens due to plaque and tartar build up. This bacterial growth can lead to gingivitis (inflammation of the gums), which can progress into more serious issues, like periodontitis. This can result in the bone and tissue surrounding the teeth to become damaged. If left untreated, severe oral infections can occur, which can be extremely painful, and can lead to tooth loss and can eventually damage their internal organs.

Signs of oral disease include bad breath, red gums, discolored teeth, broken or fractured teeth, reluctance to eat, weight loss, and swelling around the mouth or eyes.

When should your pet get their first dental cleaning?
Typically, cats and small to medium dogs should get their first cleaning at around a year old. Larger dogs can get theirs done at 1-2 years old. But, if there is any plaque or tartar visible, it's recommended that they get scheduled for a cleaning, regardless of age.

What can I do for my pet at home?
It's recommended to brush your pets teeth with a VOHC approved toothpaste DAILY.
Which, understandably, is hard to do for a lot of people. We recommend brushing teeth at least every 48 hours. It is important to never use human toothpaste for your animals because fluoride is toxic. There are many dental products out there that can help with plaque and tartar build-up! Greenies is one safe/effective treat you can give to your pet that will help with plaque and tartar build-up.

Happy DOGust!🐢 This month, it is encouraged to adopt and support your local shelters/rescues! Yesterday was National Mutts Day, also known as National Mixed Breed Dogs Day. And today is the universal birthday for all shelter dogs with unknown ages! We highly encourage the celebration and adoption of mixed breed dogs. Why should you adopt a mixed breed? Well, there are a few reasons. The adoption fees tend to be significantly more affordable than buying a purebred dog. They are also extremely unique with diverse personalities and traits, making an amazing addition to any family. But the most important reason for adopting a mixed breed dog is that you are saving a life! Shelters are filled to the brim with mixed breeds that desperately need homes and families. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a mutt for a companion! Please reach out to your local shelter if you’re looking for a furry friend. Here are a few of our staffs’ BELOVED mutts! 🐾 Drop a picture of your precious mutts below πŸ’•πŸΆ
