As we've mentioned in previous posts, it's always better to withhold "people foods" from your pets, no matter how much they may seem to want or enjoy it.

The best thing you can do for your dog is make sure that they are well-trained, both for their safety and for your peace of mind. "Sit" and "Stay" are both very important commands, but it shouldn't end there. "Leave it/Drop it" can be life-saving commands, as can a strong "Recall" command. Dogs should be trained to keep their attention firmly on their walker when on leash, and crate-training your dog is very helpful for preparing your dog for boarding situations. There are many resources out there for training your dog, old or young, and you can always reach out to your veterinarian for help connecting with those resources.

January is Walk Your Dog Month! Dogs need regular physical activity just as much as humans do, and walking your dog for 30-120 minutes per day is a big part of making sure they get the exercise they need. Not only are walks good exercise, but they also provide practice time for training, an opportunity for socialization with people and other dogs, and a chance to dog and owner to bond. 🐶

January 21 is National Hug Your Puppy Day, and although it may be a little ironic, now is a good time to point out that many dogs do not enjoy being embraced. Because being hugged feels similar to being restrained, many dogs are actually stressed out by being hugged. Pay attention to your dog's body language for stress signs like yawning, pinned back ears, and whale eyes. Also pay attention to how your dog shows physical affection, like leaning on you or simply resting their head in your lap, and don't force your dog to hug if they don't like it.

We had to pause construction for a few weeks, but it's time to continue our expansion, which will include a new doctor's office and five new exam rooms! Construction will resume today!

The front of our building will the first to undergo our construction. This construction will block off about six parking spots. To help with the parking situation, clients will be allowed to park in our side lot, usually reserved for employees.

The construction will also block both our lobby doors. Because of this, we are temporarily returning to curbside check-in. Pets and owners with in-person exams will be escorted into the building through the treatment room door on the far right-hand side of the building; all others will receive full curbside service.

Please give us a call at 210-698-1043 with any of your questions or concerns. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this transition, and we look forward to serving you in our new and improved clinic!
