Today is Chocolate Covered Anything Day 😋🍫 It's the perfect day to treat yourself to some sweets and to review why chocolate is dangerous for dogs!

The two main toxic components in chocolate are theobromine and caffeine. These are found in varying amounts in different kinds of chocolate. They cause stimulation of the immune system and act as diuretics, causing more water to exit your dog's body and leading to dehydration. Some chocolate can also cause GI upset and lead to pancreatitis due to high sugar and fat content.

Symptoms of chocolate toxicity include vomiting and diarrhea, tremors, restlessness, increased or irregular heartbeat, and overexcitability. Severe cases can lead to seizures.

If your dog has ingested chocolate, immediately contact the clinic or the Pet Poison Control Hotline if it's outside of business hours. Treatment and urgency depends on the type of chocolate, the quantity ingested, and the size of your dog.

As your Thanksgiving prep kicks into high gear and guests start arriving, take a moment to make sure you and your pets are ready for a joyful holiday! 🐶

🍗 Sharing is a key part of Thanksgiving, but sharing with your dog is not always a good idea. Avoid feeding your dog these things to avoid GI distress, toxicity, or intestinal obstruction. Plain, lean turkey, plain mashed or sweet potatoes, and plain green beans are all tasty tidbits your dog can partake in on Turkey Day.

🍗 A house full of guests is tons of fun, but can quickly get overwhelming to animals. Before guests arrive, prepare a quiet place your pet can retreat to if they need a break from all the festivities. Fill it with their favorite blankets and toys and introduce it before the party starts!

🍗 Make sure your gorgeous centerpieces are out of reach. Some seasonal decor can be toxic if ingested.

Take a few minutes today to prepare so you and your pet don't spend the day at the Emergency Vet!

November is Pet Cancer Awareness Month 🎗 Cancer is the leading disease-related cause of death for domestic dogs in the US. Cancer can seem extra scary for pet owners because our furry friends can't tell us how they're feeling.

To help you feel more equipped, here are eight common signs of cancer you can watch for in your pets. If you notice one or more of these, don't panic! Many of these symptoms are vague and do not 100% mean your pet has cancer. If you're concerned about a symptom your pet is experiencing, always contact the clinic and discuss it with our team.

November 8th is International Day of Radiology! 🩻
Radiology is a powerful diagnostic tool that our doctors use daily. In our practice, we use x-ray, dental x-ray, and ultrasound regularly both to diagnose pets and monitor their general health. Being able to peek inside your pet's body is invaluable to so many cases!

For curious minds: pictured below are actual images taken at NAH. The top row are Ultrasounds (left to right: kidney, bladder, large intestine). The middle row features dental radiographs (left to right: canine tooth and first two premolars in a dog, lower molars in a dog). The bottom row are x-rays (left to right: dog knee, dog abdomen, pregnant dog).

Happy Halloween!! 🎃👻
Whether you're headed out to trick-or-treat or hosting a spooky shindig, take a moment today to make sure your pets have a safe evening, too!

🍬 Keep those goodie bags and candy stashes out of reach! Most candy will cause a severe upset stomach and chocolate is toxic. Small plastic toys can pose an obstruction risk if eaten.

🍭 If your pet is dressing up, make sure they're comfortable wearing their costume. Headpieces and loose or dangling pieces can get caught or make it difficult for them to walk. If wearing a costume is too stressful, a halloween bandana or bow is a great alternative!

🍫 Make sure your pet is wearing their ID tag and their microchip information is up to date. The door opening repeatedly for trick-or-treaters presents a perfect opportunity to slip outside and get lost.

We hope you have a safe and happy Halloween! 🧡🖤 If your pet is wearing a costume this year, be sure to comment below with pictures!

Pumpkin season is in full swing! 🎃
Did you know that pumpkin can be a great fall treat to share with your dog? Fresh cooked or canned pumpkin is packed with nutrients. It's also a great low calorie additive for food that can make them feel fuller without adding on calories for those plumper pups. Additionally, it helps to add some fiber to their diet which can help keep their GI tract moving like it should.

This sweet recipe for Pumpkin Peanut Butter Treats errs more on the side of tasty than nutritous, but it's still a fun fall activity! And we know your dog won't say no to some new treats to try 😉
