💧 Is your cat suddenly drinking more water than usual?

An increase in thirst can be easy to overlook, but it can sometimes be an early sign of an underlying health problem.

Increased drinking and urination can be associated with conditions such as:
🐱 Kidney disease
🐱 Diabetes
🐱 Hyperthyroidism
🐱 Urinary or other medical conditions

You know your cat’s normal habits best. If you’re filling the water bowl more often, noticing more trips to the fountain, or finding your kitty seeking out drinks from unusual places, it's time for a visit to the vet.

A physical exam and simple blood and urine testing can often help us determine what’s behind the change. Early detection can make a big difference! 💙

🦇 Rabies Awareness in Austin 🐾

Austin is famous for its incredible urban bat population, but bats are also one of the wildlife species that can carry rabies.

Rabies is fatal but preventable, making vaccination especially important for our pets. Even indoor pets can have unexpected encounters with bats that find their way inside!

A few reminders:
🐾 Keep your pet’s rabies vaccine current.
🦇 Never touch a grounded bat.
🐾 If your pet comes into contact with a bat or other wildlife, call your veterinarian and animal control right away.

We can love our Austin bats while keeping our pets and community safe! 💙

🩺🐾 5 Things Your Vet Wants You to Tell Us During Your Pet’s Annual Checkup

Your pet may not be able to tell us what’s going on, but you can! ❤️ These little details can make a big difference during their wellness exam.

Here are 5 things we always want to know:

🍽️ 1. What they eat & how much
Tell us their diet, treats, table food, and approximately how much they’re eating each day.

🦟 2. What preventatives they’re taking
Which heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives are you using and how consistently are they given?

🔍 3. New or changing lumps & bumps
Let us know about any new lumps or bumps, or if an existing one has changed in size, shape, texture, or appearance.

🐾 4. Any itching... even if their skin looks normal
Subtle itching can be easy to overlook! If your pet is licking, scratching, chewing, or rubbing more than usual, tell us.

🧠 5. Any changes in behavior
Changes in energy, sleep, appetite, anxiety, interactions with people or other pets, or other behaviors can be important clues about your pet’s health!

You know your pet better than anyone. Even small changes are worth mentioning. We’d rather hear about it and determine everything is normal than miss an important early sign. 🐶🐱💙

🐱💉 But My Cat Is Indoor Only...Why Vaccines Still Matter!

Even indoor only cats can be exposed to infectious diseases. Vaccination is an important part of keeping them protected, because indoor doesn’t always mean zero risk.

🦠 Rabies vaccines are especially important. Rabies is a fatal disease that can affect cats, people, and other mammals. Even an indoor cat could potentially be exposed if a bat or other wildlife gets inside your home. An unexpected escape or contact with wildlife can also create a risk.

💉 Vaccination provides protection before exposure happens. Keeping your cat’s vaccines current helps protect your pet and your family from preventable diseases.

🏠 Indoor cats still have adventures! Trips to the veterinarian, boarding, grooming, moving, visitors, or an accidental dash through an open door can all create unexpected opportunities for exposure.

Talk with your veterinary team about a vaccination plan based on your cat’s age, lifestyle, health, and risk factors.

Keeping your cat indoors is one of the best things you can do for their safety. Keeping their vaccines current is another. ❤️🐾

🐾 How Do You Choose the Right Food for Your Dog? 🥣

With so many dog food options on the shelves, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming! Here are a few things to consider when picking your pup’s food:

🌾 Look for grain inclusive diets.
Despite some common misconceptions, most dogs benefit from grains like rice, oats, barley, and corn. Unless your veterinarian has identified a specific medical reason to avoid them, there’s generally no need to choose a grain free diet. In fact, research suggests that grain free diets may be linked to heart disease in dogs.

🩺 Choose a brand that invests in nutrition.
Look for companies that employ veterinary nutritionists and have strong quality control and nutrition research programs. Nutrition is more than a list of ingredients, it’s about providing the right balance of nutrients for your dog’s life stage and health needs.

🐕 Consider your individual dog.
A growing puppy, active adult, senior, or dog with a medical condition may have very different nutritional needs. Your veterinarian can help you choose a diet that fits your pet.

❤️ When it comes to nutrition, evidence matters.
Your dog’s food should support their long-term health, and we’re always happy to help you navigate the choices!
