Keeping your senior pet mentally stimulated is just as important as providing enrichment for young pets. Encourage your adult pet to learn new tricks, sniff for treats, and solve food puzzles to keep their cognitive function strong.

As pets age, they can suffer from cognitive dysfunction, which can cause anxiety and stress if they forget familiar faces, how doors open, or the location of their food bowl.

Help your furry friend maintain their mental health by incorporating plenty of enrichment activities into their daily routine. Call to talk to your veterinarian for more tips on keeping your senior pet happy and healthy.

Be cautious when using fertilizers in your lawn or garden!

👀While most fertilizers are relatively safe, your pet may experience skin irritation or mild gastrointestinal symptoms if they come into contact with or ingest the product. If you suspect your pet has been exposed to fertilizer, use warm water to remove it from their skin and watch for any symptoms.

Follow instructions and keep your pet away from fertilized areas to keep them safe and healthy!

We all want our feline friends to be healthy and happy, but heartworm disease can be a major obstacle for cats. Unfortunately, no approved treatment exists for heartworm disease in cats, and management focuses on stabilizing the cat and closely monitoring their condition with frequent chest X-rays.

Steroids and antibiotics may be used to help address inflammation and infection, but the average survival time for heartworm-infected cats is only one and a half years. Stay vigilant and protect your cat's health by taking preventative measures!

Providing year-round heartworm prevention is an important part of your pet’s health care plan. If you would like to discuss the various preventives, contact our team at Pyramid Veterinary Hospital by calling , so we can determine what protocol would best fit you and your pet’s lifestyle.

Is your pet at a healthy weight? The body condition score chart is a more accurate tool than just looking at the number on the scale. Keep these points in mind when evaluating your pet's body condition:

-You should be able to feel their ribs under a slight fat covering.
-Your pet should have a visible waistline when viewed from above.
-Your pet should have an abdominal tuck.
-If you can see your pet’s ribs and spine, they are too thin.
-On the other hand, if your pet has no discernible waistline and their belly sags, they’re too heavy.

Consult with our team at Pyramid Veterinary Hospital to ensure your pet is at a healthy weight.

Dogs can’t talk, but they have many ways of communicating their emotions to us.

🐶 If your furry friend is displaying signs of fear, anxiety, or stress, it’s important to understand their behavior. Besides obvious signs like shaking or hiding, dogs may also use self-soothing motions like yawning or scratching to alleviate nervous energy.

They may even exhibit displacement behaviors like sniffing or running in circles. If your dog avoids eye contact, has wide eyes, or has a frantically wagging tail, they may be feeling anxious or fearful. Stay tuned for more tips on how to help your furry friend feel more comfortable.

Pet owners, protect your furry friends from the dangers of rodenticides!

These products are highly toxic to pets and can cause internal bleeding if ingested. Most rodenticides work by inhibiting the rodent’s ability to clot blood, which can also harm cats and dogs.

If you suspect your pet has ingested rat or mouse poison, watch out for symptoms such as lethargy and pale gums and contact your veterinarian immediately for treatment.

Early intervention is key to a positive outcome, so be vigilant to keep your pets safe and healthy!
