📣 HURRICANE MELISSA ALERT: What to Do if You Find a Lost or Displaced Pet

Hurricanes can separate families — even our furry ones. 💔
If you come across an animal that seems lost, scared, or injured after Hurricane Melissa, here’s what to do:

1️⃣ Stay safe first — approach slowly and avoid sudden movements.
2️⃣ Provide temporary shelter if you can — a dry, quiet spot away from debris.
3️⃣ Check for ID tags or a microchip — some pets can be easily identified.
4️⃣ Snap a photo and note the exact location.
5️⃣ Contact a nearby animal organization or vet for assistance.
6️⃣ Post on local lost pet pages like , , , , or to help reunite pets with their families.

✅ Bring pets inside early
✅ Choose a quiet, window-free room
✅ Keep 3–5 days of food & water

💦 Fun Fact: When dogs shake after a bath or swim, they can fling off up to 70% of the water from their fur in just a few seconds — all thanks to a perfectly timed full-body ripple that starts at the head and travels down to the tail!

🐾 Max’s Heartworm Screening 🩺❤️
Here’s Max getting his routine heartworm test — a small but vital step in protecting your dog’s heart and overall health.

🇯🇲 Living in Jamaica, where it’s warm year-round and mosquitoes are always present, makes our pets especially vulnerable to heartworm disease.

🐶 Why Screening Matters:
Heartworm disease is caused by worms transmitted through mosquito bites that live in the heart and lungs, leading to coughing, fatigue, or even heart failure. Because early signs are often silent, routine testing is the only way to detect infection early.

💉 Prevention vs. Treatment:
Heartworm prevention medication stops new infections by killing immature larvae before they reach the heart — but it cannot treat adult worms once the disease is established. That’s why screening for the disease before starting prevention and keeping your pet on a consistent, year-round schedule is so important.
🌿 Protect your pets from preventable disease.

A**l Glands and Prostate Checks - The Rear End 🔚

Here’s Dr. Moses performing an a**l gland expression and prostate check on Max — an essential part of a full wellness exam, especially for small breed and senior dogs 🩺

🦴 A**l Glands:
Small breed dogs like Max are more prone to a**l gland impaction because of their anatomy — their smaller gland ducts can easily become blocked or overfilled. This can cause scooting, licking, swelling, or even painful infections. Impaction often happens when stool is too soft to naturally empty the glands, which can be linked to diet, allergies, or poor gut health.

✅ A fiber-rich, balanced diet helps promote healthy bowel movements that naturally express the glands. As a vet certified in animal nutrition, Dr. Moses helps pet parents choose clean, wholesome diets that support gut health and reduce the risk of impaction — keeping your pet’s digestive system running smoothly from the inside out.
Even with the best care, some pets still need periodic gland expression, and having it done professionally is the safest way to relieve discomfort and prevent abscesses.

🐶 Prostate Health:
For senior male dogs, routine prostate checks are just as vital. An enlarged or infected prostate can cause difficulty urinating or defecating, and if left untreated, can lead to chronic pain or serious illness.
Regular vet visits help detect these issues early and keep your pet comfortable, healthy, and happy for years to come.

🐾 Nose-to-Tail Wellness Exams — Because Every Pet Deserves the Best Care! 🩺✨

Meet Max — a sweet senior who we saw for his Nose-to-Tail exam. While this visit is especially important for older pets, every pet— young or old — benefits from regular wellness checks. Even when your pet seems perfectly healthy, subtle changes can go unnoticed at home.

During a Nose-to-Tail exam, Dr. Moses performs a full physical assessment — checking eyes, ears, teeth, skin, coat, heart, lungs, joints, and more. These visits help detect early signs of illness such as dental disease, allergies, weight changes, heart murmurs, or arthritis long before they cause discomfort or become serious.

Wellness exams aren’t just about finding problems — they’re about keeping your pets feeling their best year-round through preventive care, lifestyle advice, and early intervention. ❤️

Meet Kino, a handsome Akita here for his progress exam.

This big Akita boy came in for his post-castration exam and is healing beautifully.

After having two litters with his sister - although kept in separate enclosures- his owner made the responsible choice to have him neutered. 🐾

As part of our holistic care, we prefer to perform castrations once dogs have fully matured. This allows them to fully develop both physically and mentally before hormone levels change.

Waiting until adulthood supports stronger bones and joints, better muscle tone, and a more balanced temperament. It also helps reduce the risk of certain hormone-related health issues seen in dogs neutered too early — making it a more natural, holistic choice for long-term wellbeing. 🌿
