Miss Velvet has been very brave for her appointments these past few weeks!

She reminds us of Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon, what do you think? 🐈‍⬛

Happy HOWL-ween! Keep the spooky fun for the humans and the scary far away from your pets! Three essential tips to keep your pets safe this Halloween:

🍫 No candy for pets! Chocolate and xylitol (found in sugar-free treats) are highly toxic to pets. Keep all goodies out of reach - and watch those sneaky paws!
👻 Costume caution! Not all pets love dressing up. If they do, make sure costumes fit comfortably without restricting movement or breathing. Safety over style!
🏡 Stress-free zone! Trick-or-treaters and doorbells can overwhelm pets. Set up a cozy, quiet space where they can relax, and make sure they don’t dash out the door.

As a reminder, our partner, UrgentVet, is open late should your pet need care after-hours! Monday-Friday 3:00 PM – 11:00 PM and Saturday & Sunday 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM. Easily save your spot online at www.UrgentVet.com!

Bruno and Rocky are great back up singers! Rocky was the lead vocal 🤣

We feel you, Dre. We all need a little extra attention sometimes!

We are grateful for our role in keeping your four-legged family members healthy and happy. We look forward to seeing you in the year to come!

This is a kind reminder to feel as awesome as this kitty today! We love your cats as much as you do and want to keep them as healthy as possible! Contact us at 941-922-3917 to schedule an appointment.

Remember, any food that isn't a regular part of a pet's diet—especially fatty foods like ham, gravy, dark turkey meat, and turkey skin—can cause issues ranging from diarrhea to pancreatitis, and some human foods can even poison your pets. Side dishes like stuffing and mashed potatoes may contain garlic, onion, leeks, or chives that are toxic to dogs and cats. Desserts may include dangerous-to-pets ingredients like chocolate, raisins, currants, and Xylitol (a popular sugar substitute)—so reserve the sweet stuff for humans only. Plus, chewing and swallowing bones may cause a life-threatening obstruction that requires emergency surgery.

Did you know that Siamese cat coloring actually comes from albinism? Their unique coloring is believed to be the result of a mutation from albino genes. They are sometimes referred to as “temperature sensitive albinos” due to their color developing after exposure to lower temperatures and being the darkest on their extremities. Most modern Siamese cats are not considered true albinos and the full mutation is recessive within the breed, which is characterized by an all-white coat with blue eyes. We love your pets as much as you do and want to keep them as healthy as possible! Contact us at 941-922-3917 to schedule an appointment.

Little Isla came in today for surgery and needed some hugs and comfort from Dr. Christina! She loved the snuggles! ❤️

Axel Louis was just a little ball of fun playing with his squeaky toy during his exam. He was having so much fun he didn’t want to share with us. Toys always make everything better ❤️

Bruenor does not need a toy to keep busy - his tail will suffice!

Yay it’s a girl!!!! This weekend we all were all able to be apart of Dr. Christina and Ryan’s special moment at their gender reveal party.. can’t wait to meet the new addition to our Gulf Gate Family!!!! This sweet girl will be sure to love your fur babies as much as we do with her bloodline ❤️ Congratulations you two!!!
