May is Chip your pet month. It is meant to encourage microchipping so pets can be quickly found and reunited with their owners if they go missing!
Getting your pet microchip is a very simple process and can be done while they are in for a wellness exam. However, for optimal comfort, we suggest placing microchips under general anesthesia, considering the size of the needle required for placement just beneath the skin.

🐾 March is Kidney Month for our furry friends! 🐾

Let's take a moment to shine a spotlight on the importance of kidney health in our beloved pets. Just like humans, our animal companions can also suffer from kidney diseases and conditions that impact their well-being.

Our pets rely on their kidneys to filter waste from their bodies, maintain proper hydration, and keep their internal systems running smoothly. However, kidney issues such as chronic kidney disease, urinary tract infections, and kidney stones can affect their health and quality of life.

This month, let's make an extra effort to learn about the signs of kidney problems in pets, such as changes in drinking or urination habits, lethargy, and loss of appetite. By staying informed, we can take proactive steps to ensure our pets receive the care they need.

From providing a balanced diet to regular veterinary check-ups, there are many ways we can support our furry friends' kidney health. Let's come together to raise awareness, promote responsible pet care, and ensure our companions lead happy, healthy lives!

🎉 Happy Dental Health Month! 🦷 Did you know? Here's a fascinating dental tidbit for you!

🐾 The Chow Chow is the only breed to boast 44 teeth during puppyhood, compared to the standard 42 found in most breeds! These extra 2 teeth, known as milk teeth, accompany their adorable puppy stage but don't have adult replacements. They eventually fall out naturally along with the rest of their puppy teeth.

🐶 Embracing these quirky dental nuances adds to the charm of our beloved Chow Chows! Remember, maintaining good dental hygiene ensures our furry friends' smiles stay bright and healthy

🌰🐾 Happy National Brown Dog Day! 🐶✨
Did you know this day was unleashed in 2021 to celebrate the splendid brown dogs that fill our lives with joy? 🎉 Brown happens to be the most common color in the canine color palette, making our furry friends even more pawsome!
The secret behind their stunning brown coats lies in two pigments. Eumelanin, is responsible for black/brown hues, and Pheomelanin, gives the color those warm red and yellow tones. 🎨
Let's shower extra love on our brown-furred pals not just today but every day! Share a pic of your adorable brown dog and let us know what makes them the heart-melters they are. 📸❤️

Do you always appreciate when you get new clothes as gifts?👕👖👗 In Iceland it is a tradition to give clothing because of the “Yule Cat”. The legend goes that around Christmas time an enormous black cat will sneak around at night sniffing everyone’s clothing. If the clothes are not new, the owner might become a victim of the yule cat's mischief.

🐾 Did you know? Cats have a sweet tooth deficiency! 🍪🐱 While we're indulging in delicious Christmas cookies and festive sweets, our feline friends couldn't care less about the sugary goodness. Cats lack taste receptors for sweetness, making those holiday treats a bit 'meh' for them. 😸🚫🍬Instead of sharing your sweets (which we do not recommend), cozy up with them with their favorite blanket or play with their favorite toy!

🌨️❄️ Did the chilly weather yesterday spark your interest in cats? 🐾✨ Let's talk about the fascinating Snowshoe cat, especially since it's Cat Lover Month! Did you know they were officially recognized as a breed in the swinging '60s?
Back then, a Philly-based breeder was breeding Siamese cats. In one litter, a couple of kittens stole the show with their distinctive snowshoe-like markings. A touch of white between the eyes in a charming "V" shape, all four paws dipped in snowy white, and those mesmerizing blue eyes made these cats stand out in the crowd!
Their personalities also make them stand out as well! They love to talk to their owners. They are also very intelligent and loving!

Many of you may be concerned about the outbreak of an unknown canine respiratory disease that has been spreading around the United States. This mysterious illness has garnered considerable attention due to its severity and widespread impact. Key aspects of this disease include:

1. Nature of the Illness: Veterinarians have observed a significant increase in the number of dogs presenting with acute respiratory infections. These infections range from mild and self-limiting conditions to severe cases leading to life-threatening pneumonia . This illness seems to be resistant to common antibiotics and traditional diagnostics often return with a negative result.
2. Possible Causes: Researchers suggest that the illness could be caused by a new type of bacterial infection. This infection is particularly concerning as it may be highly adept at evading the canine immune system. The exact nature and origin of the pathogen, however, remain unclear .
3. Preventative measures and symptoms- To reduce the risk of your dog contracting this respiratory illness please limit the time your dog is around other dogs or high trafficked areas. Also keeping your dogs Bordetella and Influenza vaccines up to date will also aid in the prevention.

Annually, the President extends a tradition of pardoning two turkeys, sparing them from the fate of gracing American festive tables. This year continues the cherished custom. The selected turkeys must possess specific qualities: the ability to handle large crowds and endure various noises, a tolerance for being handled, and, of course, an appealing aesthetic.

These distinguished turkeys not only receive names but also enjoy a lifetime residence at George Washington's estate in Virginia. In the spirit of anticipation, let's reflect on last year's duo—Chocolate and Chip! Now, the intriguing question arises: What shall be the chosen names for this year's fortunate fowls? Share your guesses in the comments!

This weekend, as we commemorate Veterans Day, it's essential to remember and honor our four-legged soldiers. Dogs have been integral to military operations since the inception of our nation, even though their official recognition as service members didn't come until World War II. These loyal companions are assigned ranks similar to their human counterparts. In a longstanding tradition, K9s are given a higher rank than their handlers, a practice designed to deter mistreatment and ensure their well-being.

November is national Adopt a Senior Pet Month. Most of the time, these perfect pets get overlooked due to people wanting a young animal. While kittens and puppies are cute, older pets are equally loving and loyal. Adopting a senior pet offers advantages:

They need less constant monitoring and training.
Many are already housetrained.
Their fully grown status provides immediate insight into personality and grooming needs, making it easier to find the right family pet.

If considering adding to your furry family don't forget to look over the senior pets!
