Did you know fall allergies are very
common in dogs? 🍁🍂🎃
Seasonal allergies can cause discomfort due to itchiness and skin wounds or infections that occur secondarily to a dog scratching or licking themselves.
So it's better to make a vet visit sooner rather than later, before symptoms get worse.
Talk to us about creating an allergy management plan. That way, your adorable pup can enjoy the lovely fall season with you in total comfort!

Fleas and ticks not only cause discomfort for our pets, but they can also transmit diseases to them. That's why it's important to make flea and tick prevention a year-round practice.
At Salem Animal Hospital, we recommend the following tips to help prevent fleas and ticks on your pets:
🐛Use preventative medication: There are a variety of flea and tick preventative medications available on the market. These medications can come in the form of pills, topical treatments, and collars. Talk to your veterinarian about which option is best for your pet's needs.
🐛Keep your yard clean: Fleas and ticks thrive in tall grass and other vegetation. Keep your yard mowed and remove any debris, such as leaves or brush, that could serve as a home for these pests.
🐛Check for fleas and ticks regularly: Make it a habit to check your pet's fur for fleas and ticks after they spend time outside. Look for small brown or black insects on their skin or fur. If you find any, remove them immediately using a flea comb or tweezers.
🐛Wash bedding and toys regularly: Fleas and ticks can hide in your pet's bedding and toys. Be sure to wash these items regularly to prevent infestations.
🐛Schedule regular veterinary check-ups: Your veterinarian can help you determine the best flea and tick prevention plan for your pet. Regular check-ups can also help identify any issues early on.
By following these tips, you can help keep your pets flea and tick-free year-round. If you have any questions about flea and tick prevention or would like to schedule a check-up, contact Salem Animal Hospital today. Our team is dedicated to providing the best care possible for your pets!

If you have a senior furry friend in your life, it's important to make sure they receive the best care possible.
Here are our top 3 tips for caring for a senior dog:
1.Regular Veterinary Check-Ups: Senior pets require regular check-ups to detect and manage age-related health issues such as arthritis, vision and hearing loss, kidney or liver problems, and dental diseases. Regular visits to a veterinarian can also help detect and treat illnesses before they become more serious.
2.Proper Nutrition: Senior pets need a balanced diet that suits their age and lifestyle. Older pets may require a special diet that is lower in calories and higher in protein and nutrients to maintain healthy muscles and bones. Additionally, you should avoid overfeeding your senior pet and ensure they have access to fresh water at all times.
3.Exercise and Mental Stimulation: While exercise is important for senior pets, it is also important to provide low-impact exercise options that are safe for their age and physical abilities. Activities like short walks, gentle playtime, and puzzle toys can provide mental stimulation, help maintain mobility, and prevent obesity.
At Salem Animal Hospital, we care about your furry family members and want to help you keep them healthy and happy in their golden years.
If you have any questions or concerns about caring for your senior dog, don't hesitate to reach out to us. 🐾

HAPPY NATIONAL CHECK YOUR CHIP DAY!
Microchips are one of the most fail-safe ways to reunite with your pet if they become lost.
1 in 3 pets will be lost at some point in their lifetime.
Without a microchip, only 21.9% of dogs and 1.8% of cats are reunited in their owners.
With a microchip, 52.2% of dogs and 38.5% of cats are reunited.
However, if you want the microchip to be effective, you have to register it with the company and keep your information up to date.
Check that chip today and double-check that the microchip registry has your correct information now before you need it!

🌿 Allergens in August 🌿
In August, pets may be exposed to a range of allergens that can affect their health and comfort. Common allergens during this time include grass pollen, which is prevalent in outdoor spaces.
Additionally, mold spores can be a concern due to high humidity levels, especially after rain showers. Indoor allergens like dust mites and pet dander can also exacerbate allergies as pets spend more time indoors to escape the summer heat.
Keep an eye on your pets and ensure they stay comfortable and healthy during this season.
If you notice any signs of allergies, don’t hesitate to reach out to us for advice and treatment options.

Salem Animal Shelter-What you need to know at Christmas
Salem Animal Hospital is a full-service, small animal veterinary hospital nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and has been serving Salem, Roanoke, and surrounding counties for over 75 years. Their services include preventative wellness care, general surgery, dentistry/dental surgery, laser therapy, and internal medicine. They have a full diagnostic suite including an in-house laboratory, digital radiography, and ultrasound. They also offer house calls for clients and stock a wide range of products from flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives to various medications and prescription diets. They also offer their own online pharmacy and PetDesk app. Salem Animal Hospital also believes in giving back to the community by working with the Salem Animal Shelter, providing services for the Salem Animal Shelter, and through work with local schools to provide opportunities to educate students about Veterinary Medicine.
Originally founded by Dr. Edward “Tommy” Thompson in January of 1945, Salem Animal Hospital focused on providing both small and large animal medicine. In 1973, after working as an Associate for several years, Dr. Allen R. Bryant purchased the practice and continued the same level of personal, compassionate care. Due to continued growth, Dr. Allen Bryant built the existing facility in 1982 and began to shift the focus of the practice to strictly small animal. Dr. Rich Bryant and his wife, Danielle, purchased the practice from his father in January 2008. Under their leadership and taking what they learned from Dr. Allen Bryant, Salem Animal Hospital has grown into the practice that it is today which includes 3 full-time doctors and 12 support staff members.
In August 2003, after many successful years in management with Verizon, Dr. Rich Bryant, affectionally known as “Dr. Rich”, began the journey to a new career when he entered the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech. With the support of his wife, his sons, and his extended family, Dr. Rich graduated with his medical degree in May 2007 and joined his father at Salem Animal Hospital as an associate veterinarian. In 2008, he became a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner after completing a program at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine. Being able to collaborate with clients in order to provide the best care possible for their pets throughout their lives is challenging, but Dr. Rich enjoys establishing close relationships with both his patients and clients. Being entrusted with the care of their pets whether it is from the time they are puppies or kittens to the end of their lives, or just seeing them for the first time as a senior adult, is a responsibility that he embraces and it drives him to be the best doctor that he can be. At the end of the day, he is always glad to be greeted by his two Redbone Coonhounds, Sam and Dean. He and Danielle adopted these sweet, goofy brothers from a local shelter in 2014, and, since then, they have kept him busy on his days off, exploring the local trails throughout the Roanoke Valley.
Salem Animal Hospital welcomed Dr. Jordan Weintraub, as an associate veterinarian in May of 2018. Dr. Weintraub graduated from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary in May 2018. He enjoys surgery as well as working up an array of complicated cases. Although it can be difficult and often frustrating to make a diagnosis when a patient cannot communicate what they are experiencing, Dr. Weintraub loves being an advocate for the animals. Originally from the suburbs Philadelphia, Dr. Weintraub’s move to Roanoke has been quite a change of pace. While change is often daunting, he loves it here, and his dog, Duke, has never been happier since discovering the number of trails and outdoor activities available in the area.
In December of 2019, Salem Animal Hospital welcomed Dr. Christine Ferris as an associate veterinarian. Dr. Ferris graduated from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in 1995. After practicing in the Roanoke area for several years, she opened and operated Companion Pet Care Clinic in Salem from 2001 to 2017. When the opportunity to return to Salem and work with Dr. Rich Bryant arose, she jumped at the chance. Watching her patients grow from an adorable puppy or kitten to a precious, graying senior is her favorite part of the job. She feels she becomes a part of the family and treasures the relationship formed with both the four and two legged members.
Dr. Rich, Danielle, and their team strive to maintain a “hometown” culture within the practice while simultaneously providing the highest levels of modern veterinary medicine possible. They have built an exceptional team that focuses on providing excellent patient care as well as growing the Salem Animal Hospital family, from client to staff to the pets whose care is the very core of their practice. Salem Animal Hospital’s goal is to promote and provide the education of responsible pet ownership while also offering the best medical and surgical care possible in order to help each client and their pet enjoy a healthy and happy relationship together.
At Salem Animal Hospital, the trust their clients have placed in them is valued and they look forward to building long, lasting relationships with any potential client and their pets. They do not take lightly the responsibility and privilege of helping pets stay healthy and they strive to make every client and their pet feel valued. Salem Animal Hospital knows that each patient is more than a pet. They are a member of the family, and Salem Animal Hospital believes in providing the best possible care for their patients, walking hand-in-hand with their clients to take on any challenge to ensure that their pets leave happier and healthier every time.
