🐾 Meet Friday’s 🐾

Say hello to Zoe, a super sweet 16 year old domestic shorthair kitty!

Zoe came to visit us yesterday for a dental cleaning with extractions and she did so well for her procedure! 🩷

Dental cleanings are essential for cats because they help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health issues. Regular cleanings not only ensure fresh breath but also contribute to overall well-being, as untreated dental problems can lead to pain, infections, and even affect vital organs like the heart and kidneys.

Don’t forget to book your pet’s dental cleaning with us soon to take advantage of the $100 off coupon (valid until November 1st) 🦷🪥

Handsome boy Luke recently came into the clinic to update his Rabies vaccine! 🐾🩷

In observance of today, we want to share our top 3 Rabies safety tips:

1. Keep your pet up to date with their Rabies vaccine! The law varies by location, so ask your veterinarian.

2. If you see an animal known to carry Rabies acting abnormally or in contact with your pet, call animal control immediately. Do not handle the wild animal or risk getting bitten yourself.

3. If you or your pet has been exposed, contact your personal health care provider and your veterinarian immediately. Time is critical after exposure to prevent infection and death!

Pretty girl Kiki recently visited the clinic for a spay surgery and microchipping! 😻

Did you know that on average, 1 out of 3 pets go missing at some point in their lifetime?
Making sure your pet is microchipped greatly increases the odds of your baby being returned to you if the unthinkable happens. Give us a call for more details on microchipping or to make an appointment! 🐾

Pro tip: If your pet is already microchipped, don’t forget to keep your contact information current in the database!

Kidney (or renal) disease is very common in dogs and cats, and it may be reversible or permanent based on underlying causes. The disease could be a result of age-related changes to the kidneys, acute injury or toxin ingestion, congenital defects present from birth, or in rare cases, a side effect of some medications. To prevent kidney disease or slow its progression, it's vital to stay regular with wellness visits so that together, we can monitor renal levels with blood work and urinalysis and catch any changes ASAP.

Pets can’t advocate for their needs like us humans can, and many owners fail to recognize signs of osteoarthritis (OA), often chalking it up to pets “slowing down with age.” OA is common in dogs and cats ages six and up, so to help champion their health, we’re sharing the key signs of this degenerative joint disease so that you know when it’s time to seek veterinary support. If your pet is . . .

• Struggling to climb up or down stairs
• Having trouble jumping up or down
• Slow to rise from a resting position
• Lagging behind on walks or during play
. . you should discuss these concerns with us. The good news is highly effective treatments exist to help manage the chronic pain associated with OA and increase their mobility. With the right pain management, your pet can get back to being themselves again! To learn more about OA and treatment options, visit: https://www.thrivepetcare.com/be-their-champion

Warning:️ this post is about p**p! 💩 If you’ve ever wondered why you’re asked to bring in a f***l sample as part of your pet’s annual wellness exam, the answer is to check for intestinal parasites.

There are a variety of parasites that thrive inside of otherwise healthy pets, so having them routinely tested is essential to their well-being. Your pet's p**p will be checked for evidence of hookworms, roundworms, giardia, and more. 🔬
These parasites can not only make pets uncomfortable and irritable but can also lead to many more serious issues if left untreated. Several parasites can even be transmitted to people, so by having your pet’s f***s examined, you are protecting humans in your household, too!

To learn more about what intestinal parasites we test for in f***l exams, visit:

From itchy flea bites to chronic Lyme disease, parasites are an on-going struggle for both pets and humans alike. We’re here to help you keep these pests away from your nest so your pets and family members can be safe from the dangers of parasites!
