Wellness Wednesday!

Did you know that keeping your pet at a healthy weight can add years to their life? Extra pounds can put stress on joints, lead to diabetes, and even affect heart health.

💡 Quick Tip: Use the “rib test” — you should be able to feel (but not see) your pet’s ribs easily. If you can’t, it may be time to adjust diet and exercise.

You and your pets are always welcome to pop into the clinic and get an updated weight.

🍂🐾 Happy First Day of Fall! 🐾🍂
Cooler weather is here, and that means cozy walks, crunchy leaves, and extra snuggles with our pets. Don’t forget—fall is also a great time to schedule a wellness check and make sure your furry family members are ready for the season.

Environment Enrichment 101 🐾

Environment enrichment is the process of making your pet’s living space engaging and stimulating in order to decrease boredom and avoid any associated consequences.

There are a few simple ways to improve your furry friend’s immediate living space and help encourage mental and physical development, including the following:

Use Food-Dispensing Toys
Toys that dispense food are an excellent way for your dog to beat daily stress and boredom. Keeping your dog busy while you’re gone by making them work for treats, or their entire meal, keeps them interested and engaged. They are far less likely to be distracted by an arm chair or potential digging spot if they are being rewarded and encouraged with their favorite foods. Additionally, using toys that encourage dogs to eat more slowly can even improve digestive health.

Schedule Puppy Play Dates
As wonderful as engaging toys and human interaction can be for your pets, other dogs provide stimulation that we simply cannot. Regular play dates with other friendly dogs is one of the best ways to keep your dog learning and consistently engaged. Provide your pup with the opportunity to run, sniff and explore a new, safe space with a brand-new friend!

Stimulate Their Senses
Much like humans, dogs need variation to keep them learning and developing. Whenever you can, provide your pup with the opportunity to explore new spaces. Maybe try a new trail on your morning walk. Allowing your dog to experience new things will keep his senses keen and improve both his physical and mental health.

The 4th of July is rapidly approaching, and it is crucial to take proactive measures to ensure your pets' safety and comfort during the holiday.

1) Before fireworks displays commence, secure your pet in a comfortable area within your home. Provide toys and turn on the television or radio to serve as a distraction from the outside noise.

2) Prior to the holiday, verify that your pet's microchips and identification tags are up-to-date with current owner information. The 4th of July is a common day for pets to become loose or go missing.

3) If your pet experiences anxiety, consult with your veterinarian before the holiday to determine the best course of action. Please note that most pets require an examination before any medication can be dispensed.

Above all, shower your pets with love and have a safe and happy 4th! 🇺🇸
