February is National Pet Dental Health Month! 🦷

Did you know dental emergencies are common in cats and dogs? Broken teeth, infections, and jaw fractures can cause serious pain, discomfort, and trouble eating or drinking.

Here’s how you can help protect your pet’s teeth:

☑️ Avoid letting them chew on hard items like bones, sticks, rocks, cow hooves, or ice cubes.
☑️ Offer softer, safer chew toys instead.
☑️ Regularly inspect their teeth for signs of trouble, such as bleeding gums, chipped teeth, or wounds.

A healthy mouth is essential for your pet’s overall well-being. Our team uses advanced anesthesia technology, dental x-rays, and state-of-the-art treatment to evaluate and care for your pet’s teeth, striving to save them whenever possible. Animal Medical Center of Seattle is proud to offer Dentistry services, led by a board-certified Veterinary Dentist, Diane Carle!

Did you know that nearly half of dogs over the age of 10 will develop cancer?

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), dogs get cancer at about the same rate as humans, while less is known about cancer rates in cats.

February 4th is World Cancer Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness and improving education about cancer—including in our beloved pets.

A cancer diagnosis in a pet can be life-changing, but you're not alone. At Animal Medical Center of Seattle, our Oncology Department provides compassionate care and a wide range of advanced treatment options. We work closely with you to create personalized treatment plans that balance effective cancer care with minimizing side effects, helping your pet feel their best.

Early detection is key. Keep an eye out for warning signs like:
☑️ Lumps or bumps
☑️ Weight loss
☑️ Difficulty breathing

If you notice these symptoms or have concerns, don’t wait—contact our Oncology team at 206-204-3366. Together, we’ll ensure your furry family member gets the care they need. ❤️

National Pet Travel Safety Day serves as a reminder to keep your pet safe every time you travel with them. Whether it's a family vacation, a car ride to the park, or even to the vet, you want to make each and every trip a safe one! 🚗✈

- Keep your pet secure in the car. An unsecured pet can be a distraction for the driver which puts them, any passengers, and the pet in danger. Also, never let your pet ride in the bed of a pickup truck. This is illegal in some states and, regardless of the law, puts your pet at a high risk of injury. The best way to keep your pet secure in the car is by using a harness or putting them in a pet crate and keeping them buckled in.

- In addition to keeping them secure, avoid letting your pet ride in the passenger seat or in your lap. If the airbag deploys in an accident, it could severely injure your pet (or worse). Secured in the back seat is the safest place in the car for your pet.

- Keep them comfortable while traveling with a spacious crate. As a rule of thumb, your pet should be able to stand up, sit down, and turn around inside the crate without touching the sides. You could also place a comfort item in the crate for them to travel with to help relieve some stress.

- Prepare a travel kit ahead of time with everything your pet might need while traveling and when you reach your destination. For example, your kit might include the following: food, water, bowls, medications, a leash, waste bags, a scooper, a litter box, and extra litter.

Start the new year off right by pet-proofing your celebration! 🐾🎇 With all the excitement and commotion, NYE celebrations can result in lost pets and accidents.

Here are some tips to keep your pets safe:
🎉 Secure pets in a comfy place indoors
🎉 Make sure all pets have ID tags
🎉 Save emergency vet information our phone # is 206-204-3366
🎉 Keep alcohol, treats, and decorations out of reach

We wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that extremely cold temperatures can cause serious problems for pets such as hypothermia, accidental antifreeze ingestion, burns caused by fires or space heaters, and more.

🌟HOLIDAY HAZARDS🌟

They might look beautiful but holiday decorations may be hazardous for pets. Here are a few tips to keep your pet safe this holiday season:

🎄 Securely anchor and keep pets away from the tree. Also remember to sweep up any fallen brush or pine needles.

💡 Hang strands of lights higher up. Not only can pets get tangled in strings, but these strands can give them a potentially life-threatening electrical shock if they bite through the wire.

🐈 Tinsel and ornaments can seem like toys (especially to cats) and can cause serious stomach issues if ingested. Avoid using tinsel when possible and stick with larger, shatterproof ornaments that aren’t easy to break or swallow.

If your pet experiences an emergency this holiday season, please call us at 206-204-3366.
