As the holidays quickly approach, please be reminded to avoid giving pets as a gift to unprepared recipients or obtaining a pet yourself on a whim. You will see both a surge in pet purchases or adoptions and a surge in older pet drop offs at shelters (to make room for the new Christmas gift pets) in the coming weeks. While gifting a pet may seem like a great idea, people may not always have the patience, time, energy or finances to properly care for one. If you are obtaining a pet for yourself, think about your circumstances, and whether they will change in a few months.
Unfortunately, pets given as gifts to unprepared recipients or those obtained on a whim during this time will most likely end up at shelters, abandoned on the street, or rehomed again. Really think about your decision. Pets should not be viewed as toys, they are living, breathing animals and are a huge responsibility that require several years of commitment.

This is an X-ray of a dog’s bent front leg. See that tiny white spec? That’s a microchip! It has migrated down the leg....far from where it was inserted, between the dog’s shoulders. This is actually quite common.....
When lost pets are scanned, the entire body SHOULD be scanned to catch any that have migrated. But, as an owner, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AT THEIR YEARLY VET EXAM, to ask for a quick scan to make sure that: (1) the chip is still working, (2) the location of the chip is good, and (3) that the chip info is correct.
Remember microchips save lives and reunite families with their pet....

Oral care should always be a part of your pet’s wellness routine. When you take care of their teeth at home with regular brushing, visit your primary care veterinarian annually for a check up, and bring them to a board-certified veterinary dentist when advanced oral care is needed, your pet benefits from a healthy mouth!

This weekend, we will be celebrating #NationalMuttDay! This day is celebrated on July 31st and December 2nd every year and recognizes Mutts and Mixed Breed Dogs of All Shapes, Colors, and Sizes.
Purebreds are often adopted more quickly from shelters while mixed breeds get overlooked and remain in shelters longer.
Mixed breeds have many great characteristics that people can be unaware of.
1. Mutts can have a better temperament. Many purebreds are bred for certain jobs, while mutts are known for being more laid back and easygoing.
2. Mutts can perform duties just as well as purebreds. Many Mutts have been trained as service dogs and working dogs!
3. Mutts are truly unique!!
4. Mutts can be healthier & live longer thanks to their mixed genes and a lower percentage of genes from one specific breed. They can have a lower rate of problems such as spinal diseases, knee problems, hip dysplasia, heart disease, and more.
5. You’re saving another dog’s life!!
Because their health history may be unknown, if you do adopt a beautiful mutt baby, be sure to take him or her to your vet for a wellness check!
