🌟 Meet Bo, the dashing 8-year-old Poodle mix and frequent flier at BHPH! 🌟

When Bo’s paw-rents are away, he’s living his best life in our medical pet lodging, where he gets the extra TLC he needs from our amazing nurses. 🩺🐾 But Bo’s not just a guest—he’s part of the team! Whether it’s helping us unpack boxes 📦 (okay, mostly supervising 😉), snuggling up for all the cuddles 🥰, or just being his charming, playful self, Bo has definitely earned the title of Staff Helper!

Does your pup need a home away from home while you’re at work or traveling? 🐶✨ Whether they need daycare fun or overnight pet lodging, our team at BHPH is here to make them feel loved, happy, and cared for. ❤️

📅 Book a daycare day or lodging stay today and let your pup join the fun—because every dog deserves the Bo treatment! 🐾💕

🍪🐾 STOP THE PRESSES—IT’S NATIONAL COOKIE DAY! 🐾🍪

You didn’t think we’d let the day go by without including our favorite cookie monsters, did you? (Spoiler: It’s your dogs. They’re the cookie monsters. 🐶❤️)

Instead of sharing your human treats (sorry, chocolate chip cookies are a big no-no!), whip up these paws-itively perfect peanut butter pumpkin cookies just for your furry BFF. Trust us—they’ll think you’re the greatest chef ever. 🍴🐕

Peanut Butter Pumpkin Dog Cookies
🧾 Ingredients:

-2 ½ cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour for the bougie pups)
-1 cup canned pumpkin (aka the fancy orange mush dogs LOVE)
-½ cup peanut butter (unsalted, xylitol-free, and totally sniff-approved)
-2 large eggs (because eggs make it fancy, right?)

🧑‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (or “hot” if your dog’s in charge).
2. In a bowl, mix the pumpkin, peanut butter, and eggs until it’s a gooey mess.
3. Slowly add the flour—your dog will now start supervising VERY closely. 👀
4. Roll the dough out on a floured surface (or wing it—dogs aren’t picky) and cut into cute shapes. Bonus points for bones, hearts, or anything adorable!
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and smelling amazing.
6. Cool completely—don’t give in to the puppy-dog eyes yet!
7. Serve as a special treat and watch your dog’s tail go into overdrive. Limit to 1-2 cookies per day for smaller dogs and 2-3 for larger dogs.

(Store them in an airtight container… or just hand them all over now because they’ll beg anyway. 😂)

🎉 Post your pup pics! We want to see your dogs living their best cookie life!

Happy baking, and remember: every cookie tastes better with slobbery approval. 🧡🐾

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving! 🧡

This season of gratitude, we want to take a moment to express how truly thankful we are for YOU—our incredible clients and your wonderful pets who make our days so fulfilling.

Every wagging tail, purring cuddle, and happy hop through our doors reminds us why we love what we do. It’s an honor to care for your furry family members and to be a part of their lives, from their first puppy or kitten visits to their golden years.

This Thanksgiving, we’re reflecting on how much joy and love you and your pets bring to our hospital. We’re grateful for the trust you place in us, the laughter you share with us, and the chance to help your pets live their happiest, healthiest lives.

As you gather with loved ones today, we hope your hearts are as full as ours. Here's to a holiday filled with love, laughter, and maybe a few extra belly rubs for the fur-babies!

🧡 Thank you for being part of our veterinary family! 🐾

With love and gratitude,
The Team at Bull's Head Pet Hospital

🦃 A Thanksgiving Reminder from BHPH!🦃

As you gather around the table with your loved ones later this week, don’t forget about your furry friends! Here’s a quick guide to ensure your dog has a safe and healthy Thanksgiving:

Foods Your Dog CAN Enjoy in Moderation:

✔️Turkey (Plain & Cooked): Skinless, boneless, and free of seasoning. A great source of lean protein!
✔️Sweet Potatoes: Plain and cooked (no marshmallows, butter, or brown sugar).
✔️Green Beans: Steamed or boiled without seasoning.
✔️Pumpkin: Plain, cooked, or canned (NOT pie filling with added sugar and spices).
✔️Apples: Sliced and free of seeds and core.

Foods to AVOID Feeding Your Dog:

❌Turkey Skin & Bones: The skin is fatty and seasoned, and bones can splinter, causing choking or internal injuries.
❌Stuffing: Often contains onions, garlic, or spices, which are toxic to dogs.
❌Gravy & Fat Drippings: High fat content can lead to pancreatitis.
❌Mashed Potatoes: Butter, cream, and seasonings make them a no-go.
❌Desserts: Especially chocolate, xylitol (a sugar substitute), and nutmeg in pumpkin pie.
❌Alcohol & Caffeine: Even small amounts can be harmful.

It's SUPER important to be cautious because fatty or rich foods can lead to pancreatitis, a serious and painful condition that inflames the pancreas.

Symptoms of pancreatitis include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite. If you notice any of these symptoms in your dog, contact us immediately! Pancreatitis can escalate quickly and requires prompt (and sometimes extensive) treatment.

This Thanksgiving, give your pup a special treat from our “safe” list or consider a dog-friendly holiday treat recipe.

🧡 Wishing you and your pets a Happy Thanksgiving! 🧡

🎃👻 *Happy Howl-o-ween from Bull's Head Pet Hospital! 👻🎃

We can’t wait to see all of our furry friends get into the spooky spirit! This year, we’d love for you to share pictures of your pets in their Halloween costumes with us!

Check out Cinder who came to her wellness appointment this morning with Dr. Greenberg looking so festive and adorable!!

Drop your pet photos in the comments below or tag us on your post! 🐶🐱🕸️

*And remember our Halloween safety tips:*

🍬 *Candy is for humans only!* Keep it out of paws’ reach, as chocolate and xylitol (found in many candies) can be toxic to pets.

👻 *Costume Comfort*: Make sure your pet’s costume fits comfortably and safely – they should be able to move, breathe, and see easily. And if your pet prefers their birthday suit, a festive bandana is a great alternative!

🎃 *Safe Space*: With trick-or-treaters coming by, some pets may feel anxious. Set up a cozy retreat with treats and toys to keep them happy and calm.

Let’s make this Halloween spook-tacular and safe for our furry family members!! 🧡🐾

We know everyone is allergic to Mondays....

but we wanted to remind all of our BHPH families that fall allergy season for our furry friends is quickly approaching!🍂

As the weather cools and leaves start to fall, seasonal allergies can flare up for dogs & cats.

Common fall triggers include:
🍁 Ragweed
🍂 Mold in damp leaves
🌾 Dust and other outdoor allergens

Be on the lookout for signs like:

🐾Itchy skin or paws
🐾Excessive scratching or licking
🐾Sneezing or watery eyes

If your pup starts showing these symptoms, it could be fall allergies! Schedule a check-up with us to keep them happy and comfortable all season long.
