🥵With the summer heat, remember to check your pet’s water bowl more frequently!

Pets can’t sweat like humans. They cool down through panting and paw pad sweat, so staying hydrated is critical for regulating body temp.

Fireworks may be fun for us, but for pets, they can be scary, and the booms often continue well past the 4th of July. 🌩️ Thunderstorms and other loud noises can trigger anxiety too.

If your pet is showing signs of stress, don’t hesitate to reach out. We can discuss treatment options to help your pet feel safe and secure year-round. 💙

Everyone meet "Gaucho" the Patagonian mara! He came in see Dr Dahlin for a Neuter last week!
Gaucho is part of an animal educational program that we work with every now and then when needed.

What's a Patagonian mara do you ask?🤔

"Patagonian maras are large, herbivorous rodents native to Argentina, often mistaken for hares due to their long ears and legs. They are actually more closely related to guinea pigs and capybaras. These animals are known for their speed and agility, using powerful hind legs to escape predators."

This is "Rocky" who had quite the adventure last week and ended up on the wrong end of a porcupine....and got a face full of quills! Ouch😬.

But Dr Dahlin and the clinic staff in the back got him all fixed up!🥰❤️

Just another reminder post not to forget about getting meds for your fur babies before the 4th of July! This can be a very anxious/scary time of year for all animals. Medications can help to ease that anxiety.💗

Just a early reminder about getting meds for the 4th of July for your furry kids!! This holiday can be super scary and cause anxiety as you can see from our model, Bri! She likes to hide underneath blankets after taking her meds for any holiday that involves fireworks!

We are here Monday through Saturday and remember to allow 24 hours notice to fill any meds. Call/text us your requests!
