Can you tell that this cutie 🥰 loves car rides 😌😆? Does your fur baby like to go on trips with you 🤔?

Here is our handsome and excited 😊 boy, Thor 😍 and his beaming smile while on his way over to our office 🏥 for his quarterly checkup 🩺👩🏻‍⚕️ , deworming and vitamin shots! He was also treated for fleas and ticks with Nexgard chewable.

He may not get as much car 🚘 rides these days, but when we does, he certainly looks forward to them with his paw-rents!

Here are 5 Reasons Why Dogs Love Car Rides!

1. The nose 👃 knows
Dogs 🐕 have over 200 million receptacles in their noses for receiving scent messages. A ride in the car with the window open is an intense sensory experience for your dog. As the car 🚗 moves and the scents change, your dog is constantly getting updated information about the world around him.

2. Home on wheels 🛞
Your dog views the family car as an extension of the family home 🏡 When in the car 🚙 with you, they feel like they are in their home with their family. They will naturally want to be with you in this mobile version of the home.

3. It feels like hunting 🤭
Some dog behaviorists think that riding in a car feels like hunting to a dog. The forward motion of the car surrounded by other moving cars makes your dog feel like she or he is part of a pack on a hunting expedition. This sensation is said to give your dog a feeling of euphoria 😁🥺

4. The spirit of adventure 🤩
Dogs tend to be naturally curious and outgoing, so they love it when something new and exciting happens. A car ride is a great adventure for them, full of new sights, smells, and sounds!

5. The promise of a treat 🍖
Many dogs 🐕 know that part of the fun of a car ride is the opportunity to stop for a delicious people food snack (in MODERATION 🙂). They might just be wise that they may receive a puppi-chino or a few licks of an ice cream cone 🍦 are in his or her future.

📌 Don’t forget a few common-sense safety rules when you take your dog out in the car. Dogs are safest in the rear of the car in either a harness or crate. It’s fun for your dog to sit unrestrained in the front seat and stick his head out the window, but that might not be the safest thing. It’s also a good idea to keep small dogs out of your lap when driving. And of course, never leave your dog in a hot 🥵 car.

🤩🥳 Thursday smiles with this beautiful 😍🥺 girl! Checking in with this sweetie, Bella, who visited us for her quarterly checkup 👩🏻‍⚕️🩺
We’re sure if you’re a pet owner, at one point or the other, you’ve had to deworm him or her.

Dogs 🐕 have a regular habit of licking 👅, chewing, slurping anything that comes in their way including dirt, trash 🗑, etc. This makes them ideal hosts for worms 🪱 and parasites.

Deworming is defined as the process of removing the worms from your pet’s stomach – a periodical process that is done every 3-4 months. For young pups, however, it is recommended to deworm when it is 2-3 weeks old 📆

Look for symptoms like diarrhea 💩 , coughing, vomiting 🤮, breathing issues, or weight loss – if these continue for a few days, it’s time to consult your vet!

It is important to know that you should NOT self-administer medications since the treatment would always depend on the type of worm and where it is living in the dog’s body.

Deworming 💊 in general is important for the dog’s health and fitness. With worms, come the accompanying problems of loss in appetite, skin problems, and other diseases which can then worsen.

Tuesday’s can be ruff 😣!

Need help getting over a tough day 🤗? Take in this adorable 🥺 pic 📷 with ‘siblings’, Vasu and Chanda 💕

What a cute pair 🥰😍❤️! Even though they aren’t literally sisters, their bond is surely like no other!

Dogs are social creatures and pack animals by design, which may lead some to believe that forming a bond with another canine companion comes naturally to them ✅

Many dogs 🐕 who feel comfortable in the company of another will exhibit playful behaviors, like assuming a "play bow" position, which is when their front end lays flat along the ground while their rear end sticks up in the air.

Exposing their belly is another sign of bonding, as it implicates trust, as does taking turns assuming more submissive positions while playing 😃

Bonded canines will often appear relaxed around one another while still remaining happy 😃 to be in each other's company.

Does your fur baby like company or prefers just to be in the company of humans 😆?

Here is sweet boy Blu 🦮😍 posing for us after his visit! This sweetheart 🥰 came in after his mom noticed that he was shaking his head 😵‍💫, pawing 🐾 at his ear and there was a discharge with a malodorous scent 😩

After obtaining his history and examining both ears, he was diagnosed with a bacterial 🦠 infection 🙁 His ears were thoroughly flushed with a medicated ear wash and dressed with a topical anti-bacterial drop which also decreases inflammation and helps with pain and discomfort 🙏 He is also currently on medication 💊 but is expected to make a full recovery ❤️‍🩹 and continue to live his best life 🥰😄

Ear 👂 infections often cause significant discomfort 😖 and affected dogs may show signs such as:
* Head shaking
* Scratching at the affected ear
* Dark discharge 🟤
* Odor 🤢
* Redness 🔴 and swelling of the ear canal
* Pain 😔
* Itchiness
* Crusting or scabs in the ears

Ear infections 🦠 are typically caused by bacteria, yeast, or a combination of both. If you notice any of these in your fur baby, inbox us 📥 at 755-1256 to book a check up ✅

Just like most of us, our sweet girl Silvia 😍 is super excited 😆 for her highly anticipated long weekend ahead 🤩🥳!

We visited this super energetic, playful ☺️ and extremely photogenic 🥰 Husky for her annual checkup 👩🏻‍⚕️🩺, vaccination 💉 and deworming 💊 Silvia recently recovered from ‘tick fever’ and after being treated by us, we are so happy to say she has made amazing strides as seen with her increase in weight and energy levels 😁

Did you know that when your adult dog 🦮receives their yearly vaccine, it covers protection against multiple viruses 🦠? These include canine distemper, hepatitis and leptospirosis (which they can get from rats🐀)!

In order for your pet to retain the protection from their puppy 🐶 vaccines, they must receive their yearly shot to enable continued protection ✅

If you have a pet 🐶🐱 that needs his or her vaccines, please contact 755-1256 📱 to book an appointment! House 🏡 calls 🚙 are available 😊

Tonight we’re checking in with this older cutie, 13 year old 🥺 Snowflake ❄️ As Snowie is in his golden years 🥰, we advise his mom to have routine blood tests done on him once to twice yearly. This is done to ensure that he’s at optimal health for his age and also because of a history of kidney disease amongst his siblings.

To reduce the stress 😖 that this fluffy boy undergoes during car rides 🚗 and maximise his comfort, his caring mom opted for a home visit ✅ He was extremely brave and the blood 🩸 sample was taken without issue ☺️

Upon running the sample, it was discovered that he was positive from the locally known, ‘tick fever’😳 This disease can cause a wide variety of symptoms and can be confirmed via a simple blood/SNAP test- see photo 📸 with his positive result.

Snowie is a perfect example to show the importance of routine blood testing even when your pet is not showing any outward or obvious signs of illness. This therefore benefits Snowie and his family by extension as he can be treated appropriately 💊 and should not develop any concerning symptoms that tick fever usually causes.

After completion of his treatment protocol, he will then have his blood rechecked after to ensure he has cleared the infection effectively 🙏

If you’re interested in having bloodwork done for your own fur baby, contact us at 755-1256 ☎️ to make an appointment for their checkup 👩🏻‍⚕️ Home 🏠 visits are available 😃

She may not look like it here 😳😆 but this tiny cutie, Milkshake 😁😍 has all the reason to be extremely happy on the inside❗️Why is that? It’s because she had great results 📝 for her routine blood tests 🩸! As part of her annual health check, her responsible mama agreed to have both CBC and Biochemistry profiles done to ensure her fur baby is at her optimal health 🩷🤍💜

Even if your pet isn’t sick, it’s a good idea to pencil ✏️ in bloodwork to ensure their behavior truly reflects what’s going on in their bodies (especially for our older fur babies). It’s a simple procedure and results are given within the SAME visit from our in office lab 🧪 Convenient, easy and beneficial to your pets 🐕 🐈 !

What Is Pet Blood Work 🤔?
Blood testing for cats and dogs helps the veterinarian diagnose and treat a variety of health conditions. Blood screening is also necessary for the doctor to understand your pet’s health status and monitor the progress of some illnesses.

In addition, routine blood work is part of an effective pet care prevention program to avoid a myriad of diseases 🦠 or catch them early on, when the odds of recovery are likely BETTER.

Why Blood Work Is Important for Dogs and Cats:
Blood testing in conjunction with a thorough physical exam allow your veterinarian to determine the best route of treatment for your pet. Routine blood work typically includes a complete blood count, a.k.a. CBC, and an analysis of the chemical components in your pet’s blood.

A CBC quantifies white blood cells, responsible for your pet’s immune system, and red blood cells that carry oxygen through your pet’s body. It also measures platelets, which allow your pet’s blood to clot, avoiding hemorrhage. In addition, some blood tests can also identify the presence of parasites like heartworms.

Prevention is the best treatment. Blood work must be part of your pet’s routine preventive care. The recommendation is to have your pet’s blood work done annually to ensure the pet’s wellbeing.

Contact us at 755-1256 ☎️ if you’re interested in having your pet examined and bloodwork done ✅ We can also draw blood from your pet at the convenience of your own home 🏡 if you cannot transport your pet or if your pet is anxious for car 🚗 rides!

🚨Urgent Assistance Needed‼️

Can you help Angel 💔😢💔?

We are kindly asking for assistance to cover the costs of medication 💊 and chow 🥘 for this innocent baby 🥹, Angel 😇 (a well suited name for this girl).

😔 Malnourished, afraid, homeless and injured, this doggy still has trust in the goodness of people. Currently, a willing and loving lady is offering care for her by feeding her daily and administering medication for her obvious wounds.

Apart from being skin and bones 🦴, she has a large wound on the left side of her mouth that is so extensive, you can see her teeth 🦷 through it 😣😫 We shudder to think how she got it but we are suspicious 💭 of a possible chop wound 🔪 causing this type of laceration 😭 We have included a photo 📸 of the affected area in this post.

To add to her hardship, we have also noticed prominent/enlarged mammary tissue which makes us think she may have had puppies 🐶 recently but they’re not with her 😢

We are hoping to find a foster or fur-ever home 🏠 for her but in the mean time we’re trying our best to help her with the resources we have at the time.

Please consider giving this sweet baby a chance at a good life where she is loved, taken care of and kept safe. If you are in a position to contribute to the costs of her treatment or can sponsor a bag of chow for her, please reach out to us via phone 📱755-1256 or inbox us 📥

We appreciate any help no matter how small. Every little bit counts as a big help to us and we will be extremely grateful 🙏 THANK YOU❗️
