🐾 September Is Pet Arthritis Awareness Month: What Every Pet Owner Should Know
Did you know that 1 in 5 dogs will develop arthritis in their lifetime? And it’s not just senior pets—young animals, especially those with joint injuries or certain breeds, can be affected too. That’s why September is dedicated to Pet Arthritis Awareness Month, a time to spotlight this often-overlooked condition and empower pet owners with knowledge and tools to help their furry companions live comfortably.
🦴 What Is Pet Arthritis?
Pet arthritis—most commonly osteoarthritis—is a degenerative joint disease that causes:
• Pain and stiffness
• Reduced mobility
• Behavioral changes like irritability or withdrawal
• Reluctance to jump, climb stairs, or play
Cats are especially good at hiding discomfort, so subtle signs like grooming changes or litter box avoidance may be the only clues.
🐶 Signs to Watch For
• Limping or favoring one leg
• Difficulty rising or lying down
• Sleeping more than usual
• Hesitation to jump or climb
• Decreased interest in play
• Changes in posture or gait
If you notice any of these, it’s time for a vet check-up. Early detection can make a huge difference.
💊 Managing Arthritis in Pets
Treatment options include:
• Joint supplements (like Omega-3s or glucosamine)
• Monthly pain-relief injections (e.g., Librela for dogs, Solensia for cats)
• Weight management and low-impact exercise
• Comfortable bedding and ramps for easier movement
🧡 Why Awareness Matters
Pets can’t tell us when they’re hurting—but we can learn to recognize the signs. By spreading awareness this month, we help ensure more pets get the care they need to stay active, happy, and pain-free.

Hearthwood Veterinary Hospital Clients - Be Advised when allowing pets to swim in local waters. Be prepared and read the article below.

Public Health | Clark County: https://clark.wa.gov/public-healthy
Water quality monitoring at Clark County waterbodies
before visiting a local lake, be sure to check for water quality advisories. Public Health monitors water quality at designated swim beaches throughout the summer to determine if the water is safe for swimming and recreation.
Public Health collects water samples from Vancouver Lake, Klineline Pond and Battle Ground Lake to test for bacteria that can make people sick. Public Health also monitors swim beaches and other local water bodies for harmful algal blooms that can pose a health risk to people and can be fatal to pets.
Public Health will issue advisories if bacteria levels exceed state thresholds or toxin levels are elevated from algal blooms. Visit the https://clark.wa.gov/public-health/public-beaches for the latest advisory information.
Benthic algae mats
Benthic algae mats have been identified along the shoreline of the Columbia River in Clark County. The mats can contain toxins that can make people and pets sick and can be fatal to pets.
Typically, benthic algae mats are attached to the lakebed or riverbed, but the mats can detach and float on the surface of the water or wash ashore. If algae mat material is present, people and pets should avoid contact with the algae and the water.
Locations where possible benthic algae mats have been identified are available on the https://clark.wa.gov/public-health/public-beaches

🎆 Keep Pets Safe This Fourth of July! 🎆

The Fourth of July is a time for celebration—BBQs, family fun, and dazzling fireworks. But for our furry companions, it can be overwhelming and even dangerous. Let’s make sure they enjoy the holiday safely! 🐾

🔥 BBQ Safety: Keep pets away from grills and hot surfaces. Avoid feeding them scraps—bones, fatty meats, and foods like onions, garlic, and chocolate can be toxic!

🏡 Family Gatherings: Remind guests to close doors and gates to prevent escapes. Some pets may feel stressed with extra noise and company—set up a quiet, comfy space for them to relax.

🎇 Fireworks Prep: Loud noises can cause anxiety and lead to pets running away. Keep them indoors, play calming music, and talk to your vet about possible anxiety solutions.

This Independence Day, let’s celebrate responsibly—with good food, great company, and happy, healthy pets! 🐶🐱💙

☀️🐾 Hello Summer! 🐾☀️

We’re wagging into the first official day of summer with sunshine, tail wags, and plenty of paw-sitive vibes! 🌼🌊

While we’re soaking up the rays, don’t forget that the heat can be tough on our furry companions. Here are a few quick tips to keep your pets safe this summer:

🐶 Hydration is a must – make sure fresh water is always available.
🐱 Paw protection – hot pavement can burn sensitive paws. Test with your hand!
🐕 Shade over sun – pets can overheat quickly, even during walks or playtime.
🐈 Never leave them in a parked car – even a few minutes can be dangerous.
Let’s make this summer safe, fun, and full of belly rubs and sun naps. 🐾💛

Drop a pic of your summer-loving pet below! We'd love to see their sunny smiles!

🐾 Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads! 🐾
Today, we celebrate fathers of all kinds! The ones who guide, protect, and love their kids, whether they have two legs or four! ❤️

As you fire up the grill and gather with loved ones, remember that BBQs can pose risks for our furry friends. Here are a few pet safety tips to keep tails wagging and paws safe:

🔥 Keep hot surfaces, grills, and flames out of reach.
🍗 Avoid sharing bones, fatty meats, or foods with onions, garlic, or spices—they can be toxic.
🍫 Watch out for desserts! Chocolate and artificial sweeteners like xylitol are dangerous for pets.
🚪 Make sure doors and gates stay closed to prevent escape attempts from curious critters.

Let’s honor the dads who teach us love, patience, and responsibility. Whether they’re helping a toddler ride a bike or rescuing a stray cat. Today, we thank you for your kindness, strength, and heart. 💙

Enjoy the day, celebrate with family, and give your furry companions some extra belly rubs & head scratches in honor of their favorite humans! 🐶🐱
