Your Pet and Halloween Safety: Do This, Not That! 🎃

Keep your furry friend safe this Halloween with these quick tips:

👍 DO THIS: Store Halloween candy in a secure spot where your pet cannot reach. Most Halloween candy contains xylitol and chocolate, which is hazardous to pets.

❌ NOT THAT: Hang decorations that can pose threats to our furry friends. Be cautious of lit candles, rubber eyeballs, fake cobwebs, and glow sticks.

👍 DO THIS: Create a safe space for your pet on trick-or-treat night to minimize stress. We recommend a quiet room stocked with their favorite toys and treats.

Let’s help our four-legged friends stay safe this spooky season. Call us with any questions!

Pet Wellness and Aging 🐾

Just like us, pets get older and may need extra care and attention.

It is important to prioritize their health and happiness as our furry friends grow older. Here are some ways to care for your senior pet:

📅 Consistent Veterinary Visits: Your senior pet should have check-ups every six months to catch age-related issues early.

🦟 Monitor Preventative Measures: As your senior pet enters their golden years, their immune system becomes weaker. This increases the health risks associated with ticks, fleas, and heartworms. You should ensure your furry friend is up-to-date on their year-round preventatives and vaccinations!

🦴 Keep Them Active: Your senior pet may not be able to play or walk as long as they used to, but it is crucial to keep them active. Consider shorter walks or playtime sessions with toys.

We’d love to meet your senior pet. 📞 Call us to request an appointment!

Let’s talk about your pet’s pearly whites. 🦷

Pet dental health is often overlooked, but taking care of your pet’s teeth is so important!

If left untreated, poor dental health can cause disease in other organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Early prevention is key to a happier, healthier life for your pet. 📞 Call us at (978) 306-4144 for details on our dental services!

Fact Vs Fiction: Microchips and Your Pet 🐕🐈

❌ Fiction: Microchips do not help reunite lost pets with their owners.

✔️ Fact: Microchips provide your pet with a permanent ID that stays with them for life. If your pet goes missing, you are far more likely to find them if they are microchipped!

Pro Tip: It is crucial that your contact information is up-to-date on your pet’s microchip, especially if you have a new address or phone number.

Not sure if your pet is microchipped? Call us at (978) 306-4144 to learn more about our microchipping services!

Blood Test Breakdown! 🐕🐈

Blood tests help us understand our pet’s overall health and risk for diseases.

We recommend blood tests annually, but this number may change depending on your pet’s health. Let’s take a look at what these blood tests assess in your pet:

- Red Blood Cells: Your pet’s red blood cell count can be used to rule out anemia and dehydration.

- White Blood Cells: These are used to monitor any potential infections or inflammation in your pet.

- Platelets: If these numbers are too low, they can help us make life-saving diagnoses for your pet.

Not sure when your pet is due for their blood test? 📞 Call us at 978-306-4144 to book an appointment!

Today is World Rabies Day! Awareness is key, especially when it comes to the safety of you and your pet. 🐈🐕

Here are some ways you can help control rabies in your community:

❌ Do not approach outside wildlife. When walking your pet, keep them on a leash to ensure they do not come in direct contact with other animals.

❌ Do not leave garbage or food outside. This could attract animals like racoons and skunks who can carry rabies.

✔️ If you see an animal you suspect has rabies, call local animal control.

Let's all do our part to help control rabies in our community!

It’s The First Day of Fall! 🍂

Keep your pet safe this season from these fall foods:

🚫 Turkey Bones: Cooked bones can splinter, which can harm your pet’s throat or digestive tract.

🚫 Nuts: Almonds, pecans, and walnuts are rich in oil and fats. These can potentially lead to pancreatitis in your pet, so it’s best to avoid them all together.

🚫 Pumpkin Pie: The excessive amount of sugar and fat in pumpkin pie can leave your pet with an upset stomach.

Tip: As a safe alternative, try dog and cat-friendly treats with fall flavors! 🦴

Fact Vs Fiction: Indoor Cats and Vaccines

❌ FICTION: Vaccines are unnecessary because my indoor cat does not go outside.

✔️ FACT: Consistent vaccine routines are necessary for all cats, especially indoor cats.

While cats may not venture outside as much as dogs, they can still be exposed to outdoor diseases through other pets and objects like shoes and clothes.

It’s National Healthy Cat Month! 🐈

As a dedicated cat parent, you should be aware of the signs of a healthy cat:

- Bright Eyes: Healthy cats will have clear and bright eyes. If you notice discharge or a cloudy look in your furry friend’s eyes, this may be an early sign of infection.

- Smooth Coat: Your cat’s coat should have a smooth feel and glossy look. If your cat’s coat looks more spikey than normal, it can be a sign of decreased self-grooming, which might be due to a health condition.

- Playfulness: Cats are generally playful animals. If your feline has sudden disinterest in playing, this may be a sign of illness.

Your feline friend deserves to be happy and healthy. Call us at 978-306-4144 to request an appointment! 🐾

Your Pet and Back-To-School Blues 🐕🐈

Back-To-School Season is certainly an exciting time for parents and kids alike, but your furry friend may not be as enthusiastic. Your pet may experience feelings of loneliness or anxiety as they adjust to their new weekday routine.

Here are some ways you can prepare your pet for these back-to-school blues:

📅 Plan In Advance: To prepare your pet for this change, gradually ease them into this new routine. Consider leaving your home for short periods of time to acclimate your pet to being home alone.

👋 Make Departures Easier With Toys: Consider leaving a puzzle toy behind for your pet. This will keep them occupied while you’re away!

🦴 Make Goodbyes Positive: Give your furry friend their favorite treat before leaving. This can create a positive association with your departure.

Identify Fleas and Ticks and Act!

1. Look for tiny, dark brown insects crawling in your pet's fur. Fleas are fast-moving and often leave behind small black specks, known as "flea dirt," which are flea f***s.

2. Spot Ticks: Ticks are larger and usually visible to the naked eye. They latch onto your pet's skin and can appear as small, round, or oval-shaped bumps. Be sure to check around the ears, neck, underbelly, and between toes.

3. Check With Us: We can confirm the infestation and recommend treatments, preventive medications, or safe removal methods.

4. Prepare: Call us to get the right preventive medications to protect your pet from these bothersome parasites.

Help Your Pet Shed the Pounds for a Healthier Life!

- Book an appointment to discuss your pet’s diet. We can provide great guidance and determine if switching to a low-calorie or weight-management formula is needed. Then schedule regular weigh-ins and checkups to monitor and adjust your plan.

- Aim for gradual weight loss to prevent health risks. Losing 1-2% of body weight per week is a safe and sustainable goal.

- Provide mental stimulation to prevent boredom eating. Use puzzle toys or food-dispensing toys to make meals more engaging and rewarding.

BBQ Season = Great Food for You, Not for Your Pet!

Avoid these pet hazards:

🚫 Chocolate: Chocolate contains substances like theobromine that are toxic to dogs and can cause serious health issues.
🚫 Onions: Onions, whether raw, cooked, or powdered, contain compounds that can damage your dog's red blood cells and lead to anemia.
🚫 Grapes: Grapes and raisins may seem harmless, but they can cause kidney damage in dogs.
🚫 Xylitol: This artificial sweetener, often found in sugar-free gums, candies, and baked goods, can be extremely dangerous for dogs. It can lead to a sudden drop in blood sugar levels and liver damage.

If your pooch gives you that adorable "feed me" look, share this instead:

🍗 Sliced, cooked chicken
🥕 Crunchy carrot sticks
🍌 Banana slices
🥦 Steamed broccoli florets

Remember: Just a little bit! Stick to their diet as much as possible.

Myth: Heartworm disease only affects dogs, not cats.

Fact: While heartworm disease is more commonly associated with dogs, cats are also at risk. Cats are more resistant to heartworms, but even a few worms can cause severe respiratory and cardiovascular issues in our feline friends. Protecting cats with preventive measures is equally important.

Helping Your Pet Stay Calm During Fireworks! 🎆

Fireworks can be dazzling for us, but they can be a source of fear and anxiety for our pets. Here are some tips to help your pet cope with fireworks:

- Create a Safe Haven: Set up a quiet space where your pet can retreat during fireworks. Include their favorite bedding, toys, and familiar scents to create a sense of security.

- Sound Masking: Play soothing music or turn on a white noise machine to help drown out the sound of fireworks. This can help minimize their exposure to loud noises and create a calming environment.

- Provide Distractions: Engage your pet with interactive toys to redirect their focus away from the fireworks. This can help keep them mentally stimulated and provide a positive distraction from the noise.

- Visit the Vet: If your pet's fear is severe, we can recommend medications to help them through the stressful fireworks period. These medications can help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.

I don't generally write reviews or post much, but I would be remiss if I didn't share my experience with fellow animal lovers.

I've had the greatest fortune to love and care for many dogs in my life. I've loved them with all my being and have been grief stricken when I need to let them go. I have always worked with great veterinarians but Dr. Tracie is by far the absolute best! Her compassion, patience and understanding continues to exceed my expectations.

Last week while I was on vacation in Europe, I found out that my sweet, Bella, has several tumors on her liver. During my vacation, Dr Tracie talked with me on the phone several times, emailed me, helped to coordinate Bella's care with our pet sitters and comforted me in the wake of this devastating news. I am so grateful for Dr. Tracie's (Tracie Fountas) professional commitment to my Bella's wellbeing and quality of life as well as my family's ability to deal with this heartbreaking news. We don't know when Bella will leave our world but we know that Tracie Fountas will support all of us through this difficult time.

Bella and I love you, Tracie Fountas!
Tremendous thank yous to Dr. Tracie and Michelle yesterday for helping me say goodbye to my dear Boo Kitty, and for recognizing and agreeing with me that the lack of her usual spitfire-ness meant that it was time.
Awesome!! Outstanding care and so kind!!
