September is Animal Pain Awareness Month 🤕😿 Cats are extremely good at hiding pain and illness so identifying that something is wrong can be very difficult. Here are some things you can watch out for:

💢 Sudden behavior changes and unusual aggression
💢 Increased or unusual vocalizations
💢 Changes to body language and facial expressions (Check out felinegrimacescale.com for more information)
💢 Overgrooming, especially when focused on one specific area

If you feel your cat may be experiencing pain, contact the clinic to set up an exam!

August 15th is National Check the Chip Day ✅
A microchipped pet is more than twice as likely to be reunited with their owner than one who is not, but the AVMA estimates that only 6 in 10 microchips are registered. An unregistered microchip provides no benefit to your pet should they be lost!

Not sure if your pet's chip is registered? Not sure if your information is up to date? Contact the clinic and let us help you!

Meet Max, who has a family that loves him. When Max becomes lost, it's his microchip to the rescue! August 15 is Check the Chip Day, where we remind pet owne...

With this heatwave and humidity, it can be hard to make sure your dog is getting enough activity without overheating 🥵☀️ Check out these four easy ideas to get their brain and body moving while keeping cool:

🌡Bust out the kids' favorite sprinkler or turn on your lawn sprinklers and let your dogs romp in the water. Fetch is even more fun in the sprinklers!

🌡 Find a dog-friendly swimming pool or visit one of the Ozarks' many beautiful streams or lakes for a quick dip. Just make sure to bring your dog's life vest if they're not a strong swimmer or they'll be hanging out on the boat!

🌡Use a bowl as a mold to make a big block of ice filled with dog treats or fruits and veggies. Your dog will have a blast licking and digging at the ice to get their snacks!

🌡 Practicing your dog's training gets their brain working and can wear them out almost as much as excercise. Brush up on the basics or learn a new trick while staying cool indoors!

Always make sure to monitor your dog when spending time outdoors and ensure they have free access to fresh drinking water. In this weather, heat stroke can set in extremely quickly, especially in flat-faced breeds like bulldogs. When in doubt, keep them inside.
