Brrr… winter isn’t just chilly for us — our senior pets feel it too! As temperatures drop, arthritis and joint stiffness can flare up, making those morning stretches a little slower than usual. Cold weather can also worsen allergies, leading to itchy skin, ear issues, and extra scratching.

Other winter woes to watch for:
🐶 Slipping on slick floors or icy sidewalks
⚖️ Weight gain when activity levels drop
😴 Changes in mobility

Winter is also the perfect time to check in on:
🔍 New lumps or bumps
🦷 Dental health
🩸Senior lab work

A seasonal wellness exam helps keep your senior pet cozy, comfortable, and feeling their best all winter long. If you notice stiffness, limping, itchiness, or anything new or unusual, give us a call... we’re always happy to help!

🐾 Celebrating Shelter Pets! 🐾
Today we’re giving a big shout-out to all the incredible shelter pets who bring joy, love, and second chances into our lives. ❤️

Whether they came to us shy, silly, scruffy, or full of sass, these pets remind us every day that rescue is a gift—for them and for us.

At Bluebonnet Animal Hospital, we’re proud to support our local shelters and the amazing families who open their homes to rescue pets. That’s why we offer a FREE first exam for any new patient adopted from a local shelter.

If you’ve adopted a shelter pet, share their photo or story below! We’d love to celebrate your four-legged family members and the amazing journeys they’ve taken. 🐶🐱

Here’s to the resilient, the goofy, the brave, and the absolutely lovable shelter pets who make our world better. 💕

Working hard, playing hard 🐾😸

Our team always gives their full attention to patient care… even when the patient’s sibling decides to turn the appointment into a jungle gym!

These two adorable orange tabby kittens came in for a wellness visit, and one of them couldn’t resist helping out by climbing onto our technician’s back.

Moments like these are why we love what we do — quality care, a little chaos, and lots of kitten cuddles. 💛🐱

We’re excited to share that we are an official sponsor of the Circle C Run Club's Annual Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning! While most of us are usually busy trying to keep our pets from counter surfing the turkey, this year we’ll also be cheering on all you early morning turkey trotters.

Whether you’re running, walking, stroller-pushing, or being strategically dragged by an over-enthusiastic dog, we’ll be celebrating our amazing community. Come start your holiday with a little cardio before the big feast!
