Did you know September is National Animal Pain Awareness Month?

Our pets can’t tell us when they’re hurting, so it’s up to us to recognize the signs. From limping to changes in behavior, even subtle shifts can indicate that your furry friend is in pain.

This month, let’s spread awareness about the importance of pain management in pets. Whether it’s arthritis, injury, or another condition, there are effective ways to help our animals live comfortably.

If you notice any signs of pain in your pet, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re here to provide the best care and ensure your beloved companions feel their best! 🐾

Yesterday we all had to make the hard decision and say goodbye to one of our house kitties, Sport. He had just turned 18 and was full of life until the very end. He enjoyed temptation treats, saying “hewwo” until he got attention and taking naps in his favorite bed. He will forever be missed by all of us at the clinic and especially by his sister, Silk. We love you Sporty Spice 🌈🐾🥺

Happy 4th of July from our team to you!

As we gather to celebrate Independence Day with family and friends, let's not forget our furry companions! Here are some tips to keep your pets safe and calm during the festivities:

🎇 Create a Safe Space: Make sure your pets have a quiet, comfortable place to retreat away from the noise.
🐶 Keep Them Indoors: Fireworks can be frightening for pets. Keep them indoors and secure windows and doors.
🐱 Update ID Tags: Ensure your pets' ID tags and microchip information are up to date, just in case they get scared and run off.
🐾 Avoid Fireworks: Never use fireworks around pets. They can cause severe burns and trauma.
🎆 Watch the BBQ: Be mindful of what your pets eat. Certain foods can be harmful to them.

Wishing everyone a safe and joyful 4th of July!
