🦷 Dental Month is coming! 🐾

September is Dental Month at Devonian Veterinary Clinic!

Did you know dental disease is one of the most common health problems we see in both dogs AND cats? Bad breath, tartar and red gums aren't just cosmetic — dental disease can cause pain, infection and eventually lead to tooth loss.

Throughout September, we'll be sharing tips on keeping your pet's mouth healthy, signs of dental disease to watch for, and some behind-the-scenes dental content. 🐶🐱

📅 If you've been wondering whether your pet might need a dental cleaning, September is the perfect time to ask us!

🦷 Stay tuned for Dental Month!

🎒 Back to School Means Big Changes for Your Pet! 🐾

As the kids get ready to head back to school and summer schedules come to an end, your pet may notice the change too!

Some pets adjust quickly, while others can experience stress or separation anxiety when the house suddenly becomes much quieter.

Here are a few ways to help make the transition easier:

🐶 Stick to a consistent feeding and walking schedule.
🧩 Leave puzzle toys or enrichment activities to keep them busy.
🚶 Give your pet plenty of exercise before everyone leaves for the day.
🏡 Ease back into the routine gradually if possible.
💙 Be patient—some pets need a little extra time to adjust.

Watch for signs of stress, including:
• Excessive barking or meowing
• Destructive behavior
• House soiling
• Pacing or restlessness
• Changes in appetite

If your pet is having a difficult time adjusting, we're happy to help. There are many strategies—and sometimes medications—that can make the transition much easier.

Wishing all of our students a fantastic school year and all of our furry friends a smooth return to routine! 🍎📚🐾

💔 In Loving Memory of Cookie 💔

It is with very heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our beloved clinic cat, Cookie.

After a short battle with kidney disease, we had to make the difficult decision to let her go peacefully.

Cookie was truly one of a kind. She loved Temptations treats, lounging around the clinic like she owned the place (because, really, she did), and perhaps most memorably trying to fight angry cats who came into the clinic. 😂 Apparently Cookie believed that if a cat was already mad, the best course of action was to make it personal.

Cookie is now in heaven, eating all the treats she wants, going crazy on catnip filled chairs and signing herself up for Fight Club.

The clinic won't be the same without her little face, her big personality, and her questionable conflict-resolution skills.

Rest easy, Cookie. 🌈🐾
We hope the Temptations are unlimited and the opponents are worthy.

You were so very loved, and you will be so very missed. ❤️

🐱 A Bored Cat Can Become a Mischievous Cat! 🧩

Keeping your cat mentally and physically stimulated is just as important as feeding them a healthy diet.

Try adding some enrichment to their day:
🐦 Place a perch near a window for bird watching.
🪶 Rotate toys every few days to keep them exciting.
🥣 Feed meals using puzzle feeders or treat balls.
🧗 Add cat trees or shelves for climbing.
📦 Leave out cardboard boxes or paper bags (with handles removed).
🎣 Spend 10–15 minutes each day playing with a wand toy.

Even a few minutes of daily enrichment can reduce boredom, encourage exercise, and strengthen the bond between you and your cat.

How does your cat like to play? Tell us in the comments! 💙

🏡 "But My Cat Never Goes Outside..." 🐱

Did you know that indoor cats still need annual veterinary exams?

Even cats that spend 100% of their time indoors can develop health problems such as:
🐾 Dental disease
🐾 Arthritis
🐾 Kidney disease
🐾 Diabetes
🐾 Thyroid disease
🐾 Heart disease

Cats are experts at hiding pain and illness, which means they may seem perfectly healthy until a condition is quite advanced.

Annual wellness exams allow us to catch problems early—often before your cat shows any obvious signs of illness.

Your indoor cat deserves the same preventive care as any other family member. ❤️

📞 Is your cat due for a checkup? Give us a call—we'd love to see them!
