🐾 Could Your Dog’s Food Be Affecting Their Skin?

Certain ingredients in dog food can trigger skin issues like itching, redness, and dryness. Here are some common culprits to watch for:

1. Grains – Wheat, corn, and soy can cause irritation in sensitive dogs. Grain-free options might help.

2. Artificial Additives – Colors, flavors, and preservatives may lead to allergic reactions. Opt for natural, preservative-free foods.

3. Proteins – Chicken and beef are common allergens. Novel proteins like duck or fish may be gentler.

4. Dairy – Lactose sensitivity can show up as skin inflammation or itching.

If your dog is experiencing skin problems, talk to us about whether a diet change could make a difference. 🌱🐶

15% Off Dentals in February February is Pet Dental Health Awareness Month when we remember that our furry friends don’t carry a toothbrush around with them and so their teeth may need a little attention. Whether a dog, cat, rabbit or other species, let’s remember our pets by lovingly looking after their teeth. Dental checks are as important to animals as they are to us and looking after their dental health significantly prevents oral problems they may have in the future. Red gums, stinky breath, or yellow teeth could lead to an oral disease if left untreated giving your pet a poor quality of life and nobody wants that! This National Pet Dental Health Month let’s prioritize our pet’s teeth as much as we do their stomachs.

Have you ever wondered what ear mites look like microscopically? Well here it is! Ear mites are most commonly seen in cats that have a ‘coffee grain’ type of ear debris and are very itchy (as you can imagine!). While we do occasionally see these in dogs, we more commonly see dogs with yeast and bacterial ear infections.

A wind advisory was issued this morning in VAH. No worries, we persevered through the dog hair tornadoes and Gypsy felt about 10 lbs lighter 🐶
