Does your pup ever seem like they're not quite getting what you're saying? 🤔

Communication with dogs is more than just words! Try using your body language to speak to your furry friend. Approach them with your body angled away and avoid reaching out. Instead, let them come to you when they're ready, and keep your body relaxed and calm. These calming signals will show your pup that you're listening and help them feel safe and understood. 🐶🐾

Did you know that separation anxiety is a socially learned behavior that can affect not only your pet but also other household pets?

🐶 Lyme disease can be difficult to diagnose in pets because they do not develop the classic bullseye rash seen in humans. In fact, many pets show no signs at all, or their signs are often vague and nonspecific, which sometimes results in an incorrect or delayed diagnosis.

Lyme disease testing (i.e., a blood test) is advised for pets with clinical signs that include fever, lethargy, appetite loss, swollen lymph nodes, intermittent lameness, and painful or swollen joints.

Protect your furry friend from this debilitating condition by contacting us at 316-689-0202 and asking about annual tick-borne disease testing. Stay informed and keep your pet healthy! 🦟
