At VCA we put the future of veterinary medicine first and constantly strive to improve our skills and be the best possible medical team for you and your pets. Great job all!

Hypoallergenic Dog Breeds: Is there such a thing??

Even though no canine breed 100% hypoallergenic, there are breeds that are less likely to stimulate allergies. All dogs produce saliva and dander, although some produce less of these. With that being said, breeds that shed less are less likely to make their owners allergies react because the saliva and dander stay on the hair, which stays in the hair follicle. But even hairless dogs produce dander. In the end, it all depends on the dog and the person. Just remember, any dog can stir up allergies, so don’t depend on picking a specific breed to eliminate the allergic reactions.

February is Spay and Neuter Awareness Month! You may ask why is it so important to spay or neuter my pet? Dogs can have up to 2 litters and cats can have up to 3 litters in a single year! Some other ways that fixing your pet can help them:

•Reduce spraying and marking
•Reduce roaming
•Reduce aggression
•Lower risk of cancers
•Increase lifespan up to 3-5 years

Please reach out to your local vet if you have any further questions or concerns regarding getting your pet spayed or neutered.

Today is more than Valentine’s Day … it is also National Pet Theft Awareness Day! There are some very easy things to help prevent the loss of a beloved part of the family:

•Properly identity your pet with a collar, tag and microchip

•Don’t leave your pets unattended in a yard for long periods of time

•Don’t tie your pets up outside stores and restaurants or alone in a car

•Spay and neuter your pets; fixed pets are less likely to stray

Since ❤️Valentine’s Day❤️is right around the corner, here are some pet safety tips to keep in mind:

💕Chocolates - we all know, but is still an issue!

💕Flowers - avoid lilies, as they are especially toxic to cats!

💕Decorations - discarded ribbons and wrapping paper are not toys!

💕Candles - burns can happen quickly with curious pets!

💊 Do you struggle giving your cat their medications? Pilling a cat can be challenging, even for the most experienced technician or veterinarian. The easiest way is to hide the pill in food. If you do have to pull you cat by hand, follow these easy steps:
•Prepare a safe place for your cat and have the pill ready.
•Never interrupt them while eating, eliminating or grooming.
•If you are by yourself, it can sometimes be easier to wrap your cat in a blanket or towel.
•Hold the pill between your thumb and index finger and gently grab your cats head from above. Place your thumb on one side of the upper jaw and your fingers on the other.
•Tilt you cat’s head back over it’s shoulder so the nose points to the ceiling.
•With your pilling hand, use your little finger and ring finger to open the mouth by gently placing pressure on the lower lip and teeth.
•Quickly place the pill as far back over the tongue as possible and close your cats mouth while returning the head to a normal position.
•Gently rub your cats nose or throat to help stimulate swallowing.

Always follow up with positive reinforcement with something your cat enjoys!

February is National Cat Health Month 🐈‍⬛🐈 Because of their mysterious nature, many myths or misconceptions have misguided our ideas of cat health care. Here are some examples:

•Cats don’t need to see the vet as often as dogs. MYTH! They are excellent symptom hiders and usually by the time we notice anything, they are probably sicker than they appear. Routine health care is vital.

•Cats don’t need grooming. MYTH! While they do a great job grooming themselves, this can be a great time to check for lumps, ingrown nails or even changes in their fur.

•Cats are solitary who prefer to be left alone. MYTH! True they don’t need to be “walked” but socializing is still important. Most cats love attention, cuddling and snuggling.
