🍂 As daylight hours shorten and temperatures drop, your pet's activity level and metabolism may change. Here's how to adjust their nutrition for the season:

🐾 Monitor portion sizes - pets often become less active during the fall
🐾 Maintain consistent feeding schedules
🐾 Provide fresh water - dry fall air can increase your pet's hydration needs
🐾 Consider weight management if your pet becomes more sedentary

Watch for changes in your pet's appetite or energy levels, and don't hesitate to reach out if you notice significant shifts in their eating habits.

As the weather cools, garages become busy spaces for fall prep, but they can hide dangers for cats. Antifreeze is especially hazardous, with even tiny amounts causing kidney failure, and pesticides, fertilizers, and sharp tools can also pose risks. Keep chemicals tightly sealed, clean up spills immediately, and keep cats out of the garage during seasonal projects—a little prevention goes a long way to keep your feline safe and cozy this fall. 🍂🐾

🐕 Protecting the Protectors 🐾

Service dogs, therapy animals, and K9 partners aren’t just pets—they’re dedicated companions who provide safety, support, and healing to the people around them. Because of their demanding roles, they need specialized veterinary care tailored to their unique needs.

From regular wellness exams and preventive care to protective gear and adequate rest, every measure ensures they stay strong and healthy. By protecting the protectors, we’re also protecting the individuals and communities who rely on them every day. 💙

Let’s honor their service by giving them the care they deserve.
