🌿🐶 REMINDER: It's officially tick season!🐶🌿

As spring brings warmer weather, ticks become more active—and that means our furry friends are at risk of Lyme disease. Spread by black-legged (deer) ticks, Lyme disease can cause joint pain, swelling, fever, lethargy, and even kidney complications in dogs.

🦠 Prevention is key! Here’s how you can protect your pup:
✅ Keep up with year-round flea & tick preventatives
✅ Check your dog for ticks after outdoor adventures
✅ Keep grass and shrubs trimmed in your yard
✅ Ask us about the Lyme disease vaccine

Signs of Lyme disease can take months to appear, so early prevention is crucial! If your dog seems unusually tired or stiff, don’t wait—schedule a check-up with us at Bulls Head Pet Hospital.

📞 Call us today to discuss the best Lyme disease prevention plan for your pet!

🐾 Seasonal Allergies in Pets: What You Need to Know! 🌿🤧

Spring is in the air… and so are allergens! Just like humans, dogs and cats can suffer from seasonal allergies, leading to discomfort and irritation. Here’s what to watch for and how you can help your furry friend!

Common Symptoms
🐶 Dogs:
✅ Itchy, red skin (especially paws, ears, belly, and face)
✅ Excessive licking, chewing, or scratching
✅ Ear infections or head shaking
✅ Watery eyes or sneezing

🐱 Cats:
✅ Scratching or overgrooming
✅ Hair loss or skin irritation
✅ Sneezing or runny nose
✅ Ear infections

Diagnosis & Prevention
🐾 Check-Up – We can determine if your pet’s symptoms are due to allergies, infections, or other skin conditions.
🌱 Minimize Exposure – Wipe your pet’s paws after walks, keep windows closed on high pollen days, and use air purifiers.
🛁 Bathing & Grooming – Regular baths with hypoallergenic shampoos can help remove allergens from fur and skin.
🍽️ Diet & Supplements – Omega-3 fatty acids can support skin health. Sometimes we may recommend a special diet if food allergies are suspected.
💊 Medications – Antihistamines, allergy shots, or prescription treatments may be needed for severe cases.

📍If your pet is showing signs of seasonal allergies, schedule an appointment with one of our Doctors for expert care and relief! Let’s keep your pets happy and comfortable all season long! 💙🐾

Chew on This! 🦴🐶 Safe Chews for Your Dog’s Dental Health

Dogs love to chew—it’s natural, keeps them entertained, and can even help with dental health! But not all chews are created equal. Some can be too hard, leading to broken teeth, while others may be unsafe due to choking hazards or digestive issues.

Here are some vet-approved, dental-safe chews for your pup:

🦷 Rubber Chew Toys – Durable options like KONGs or West Paw toys are great for chewing and can even be stuffed with treats for extra fun!

🦴 Dental Chews – Look for VOHC (Veterinary Oral Health Council) approved options like Greenies, Whimzees, or Virbac C.E.T. chews, designed to reduce plaque and tartar.

🥩 Rawhide Alternatives – Safer options like Collagen chews, Beef cheek rolls, or Himalayan yak chews are easier to digest while still providing a long-lasting chew.

🌿 Natural Chews – Bully sticks, tendons, or properly sized raw bones (vet-approved) can be good options but should always be given under supervision.

🚫 Avoid These: Hard bones, antlers, hooves, or synthetic chews that are too tough—if you can’t press your fingernail into it, it’s likely too hard and could break teeth!

Want personalized recommendations for your pup’s dental health? Ask us at your next visit! Keep those tails wagging and those teeth healthy! 🐾✨

🏈🐾 Super Bowl Sunday: Keep Your Pets Safe! 🐾🏈

The big game is almost here! Whether you're rooting for your favorite team or just in it for the snacks and commercials, make sure your pets stay safe and stress-free during the festivities. Here are a few game-day tips from Bull's Head Pet Hospital:

🐶 Snack Defense: Many party foods—like chicken wings, guacamole, and chocolate—are dangerous for pets. Keep the human treats out of paw’s reach and offer pet-safe goodies instead!

🐱 Noise Control: Cheering, loud music, and sudden celebrations can stress out your furry friends. Provide a quiet space where they can retreat if the excitement gets too intense.

🍻 No Alcohol Zone: Alcohol can be toxic to pets, so keep drinks off the floor and away from curious noses.

🏆 Supervision Wins the Game: With guests coming and going, watch out for open doors to prevent sneaky escape attempts!

Enjoy the game, stay safe, and give your pets an extra cuddle—whether they’re cheering with you or napping through the fourth quarter! 🏈🐾

February is National Pet Dental Health Month! 🦷🐶🐱

Did you know that dental health is just as important for pets as it is for humans? Just like us, our furry friends can develop plaque, tartar, gum disease, and even painful infections if their teeth aren’t properly cared for. Dental issues don’t just cause bad breath—they can lead to serious health problems affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys.

At Bulls Head Pet Hospital, we perform professional dental cleanings under anesthesia to ensure a thorough and stress-free experience for your pet. Dental X-rays are also taken to assess the health of the teeth below the gum line, where hidden issues like infections and bone loss can occur.

Regular professional cleanings and at-home care are key to keeping your pet’s mouth healthy! Here are a few ways you can help:

🪥 Brush your pet’s teeth daily with pet-safe toothpaste.
🥩 Provide dental chews or special diets designed to reduce plaque buildup.
👩‍⚕️ Schedule annual dental check-ups and cleanings with your veterinarian.
🦴 Offer safe chew toys that promote dental health.

Dental care isn’t just for February—make it a part of your pet’s daily routine! Give us a call or text us at 203-324-5711 to schedule a dental check-up and keep your pet’s smile shining all year long.
