🍂 Seasonal changes = allergy flare-ups!
Just like us, pets can suffer from allergies too — and fall is a prime time for symptoms to pop up. 🐶🐱

Here are the 3️⃣ most common types of pet allergies:
✅ Flea allergies
✅ Food allergies
✅ Environmental (inhalant/skin) allergies – aka atopy

👉 Allergy symptoms can be frustrating and tricky to treat — what works for one pet may not work for another. And sometimes, treatments stop being effective over time.

👩‍⚕️ If your pet is itching, licking, or showing any signs of allergies, don’t wait! Talk to your vet — early action makes all the difference.

⚾🐾 Team Fun at the Ballpark! 🐾⚾
Last Friday, the Compassionate Veterinary Care team and our families traded scrubs for stadium seats and spent the evening at a Loons game! 💙

It was a night full of laughter, baseball, great food, and even better company. Moments like these remind us how lucky we are to have such a dedicated and fun-loving team—both in and out of the clinic! 🐶🐱

Here’s to making memories, building bonds, and cheering each other on, on and off the field. 💫

🎙 Recording in Progress – What Does That Mean? 🐾
If you’ve visited our clinic recently, you may have seen a new sign in our lobby. That’s because we’ve started using a tool called ScribbleVet to help us keep even better records for your pets!
📋During appointments and some phone calls, conversations are recorded and transcribed into detailed notes for your pet’s medical chart. Our team carefully reviews each transcription to ensure accuracy before it’s added to your pet’s file.
This technology helps us stay focused on you and your pet during visits—so we can listen more, type less, and provide the best care possible. 💙🐶🐱
Have questions? Feel free to ask our team!

☀️ Summer in Michigan = Water Time! 🐾💦
Whether it's a Great Lake, a river, or your backyard pool, keep your furry friends safe with these water safety tips:

👀 Supervise always – Pets can get into trouble fast around water. Stay close!
🦺 Life jackets = lifesavers – Even strong swimmers benefit from extra protection.
⏸️ Take breaks – Swimming is tiring! Give your pup time to rest.
🚫 No drinking the lake/pool – Bring fresh water to avoid bacteria & chemicals.
🏖️ Easy in & out – Make sure your dog can enter/exit water safely.
🧼 Rinse & dry after – Salt, chlorine, and moisture can irritate their skin.

Keep your four-legged family members safe so they can enjoy all the splashy fun this summer! 🐶🌊💙
