Today's National Pet Obesity Awareness Day! While some may think chubby pets are cute, just a few extra pounds on a small dog or cat is not a laughing matter. Some things to do to keep your pets trim include: measuring their food, limiting treats and sticking to low fat options (like carrots), keep them active with daily exercise, monitoring their weight monthly, and staying consistent with their routines.

Even though today's Responsible Dog Ownership Day, we think this applies to all pet owners. Did you know annual check-ups can help your pet live a longer, healthier life?

It's National Wildlife Day and we wanted to highlight a wonderful organization that we are so lucky to have so close by. The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Roseville is open 365 days a year, they will see and treat approximately 200 different species with a total of 19,000 animals in that time. They even have a Live Critter Tracker so that you can follow along with their daily admissions!

WRC was founded at the University of Minnesota in 1979 as a student club of the Veterinary College. From those humble beginnings of just a few dozen animals admitted each year, WRC has grown into the world's busiest wildlife hospital, admitting more than 18,000 patients annually. We are known worldw...

Our September Pet of the Month is handsome 9 year old Banzai! His favorite activities include getting the zoomies, playing with whatever he can knock down in the shower, battling with the shower curtain, playing in his water bowl (which is also kept in the shower), and climbing on top of the kitchen cabinets - even though they're supposed to be off limits. He also plays hide and seek with his owner, and will even take turns over who's the "hider" and the "seeker". His favorite toy is his fuzzy kickaroo, which he will also use to communicate if the food bowl is low, if he needs fresher water, of if it's time to tell his owner it's time to go to bed. He's a quirky boy that doesn't like treats or people food. He does have a fascination with climbing on ladders, this makes tasks like painting a bit more treacherous. He's also a very sweet boy that loves to snuggle despite his large stature and has to be touching his person in some way or another. One of his owner's favorite stories was that there was once a mink outside and Banzai! was running around from window to window to keep an eye on the situation. After his owner hadn't seen him for a while, she went to check on him, the two creatures were almost nose to nose through the patio door, looked at her offended that they'd been caught, and the mink ran off.

It's World Mosquito Day! While we're not exactly sure why they have to exist, they are terrible pests that can really spread some nasty diseases. While heartworm disease (spread by mosquitos) isn't overly common here in MN, it's becoming more and more of a threat over time. That is why we recommend keeping your pet on a heartworm preventative year round!
