🎃🐾 Happy Howl-o-ween from all of us! 👻🐈

Halloween is full of treats, tricks, and spooky fun, but we want to make sure our furry friends stay safe while we celebrate! 🧡 Here are a few important reminders for pet parents this Halloween:

🍫 Keep the candy out of reach! Chocolate, sugar-free candy containing xylitol, and other sweets can be dangerous for pets.

🎃 Be mindful of decorations. Keep candles, electrical cords, glow sticks, and small decorations away from curious paws and mouths.

🐕 Keep pets secure. Frequent doorbell ringing and trick-or-treaters can be stressful, so consider keeping your pets in a quiet, secure room to prevent escapes.

👻 Choose pet-safe costumes. Make sure costumes fit comfortably, allow normal movement and breathing, and don't have small pieces your pet could chew or swallow.

🦴 Skip the table scraps. Rich foods, candy, and discarded food wrappers can cause upset stomachs or more serious problems.

🩺 Know who to call! If your pet gets into Halloween candy or something potentially toxic, contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary hospital right away. Don't wait for symptoms to appear!

We hope you and your four-legged family members have a fun, safe, and SPOOK-tacular Halloween! 🧡

Is your pet up to date on their heartworm, flea, and tick prevention? These pesky parasites can cause serious health problems, but the good news is that many of them are preventable with consistent protection!

🦟 Heartworm Prevention: Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes and can cause serious, potentially life-threatening damage to your pet’s heart and lungs.

🐜 Flea Prevention: Fleas can cause itching, skin irritation, allergic reactions, and even anemia in severe infestations.

🕷️ Tick Prevention: Ticks can transmit dangerous diseases to both pets and people, making year-round protection especially important.

Don't forget: Here in Louisiana, our warm climate means parasites can be a concern year-round! Keeping your pet on a consistent prevention plan is one of the best ways to protect their health and keep them happy.

Not sure if your pet is due for prevention or which product is right for them? Give us a call! We’re happy to help you find the best protection for your furry family members. 🩺

Prevention is always better than treatment! 🐾

Halloween can be lots of fun for us, but some of the festivities can be stressful—or even dangerous—for our furry friends. Keep these tips in mind to help your pets have a safe and happy Halloween:

🍫 Keep candy and chocolate out of paw’s reach.
🚪 Give nervous pets a quiet, safe space away from the front door and trick-or-treaters.
🎃 Keep candles, decorations, and electrical cords safely out of reach.
👗 If your pet wears a costume, make sure it’s comfortable and never leave them unattended.
🐈 Keep cats safely indoors during Halloween festivities.
🏷️ Make sure your pet’s ID tags and microchip information are up to date.

Most importantly, remember that not every pet enjoys the spooky season! Give them plenty of patience, comfort, and a safe place to relax.

Have a happy (and safe) Halloween from all of us at South Baton Rouge Animal Hospital! 🎃🐶🐱

🎀 Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Did you know pets can get it too? 🎀

When we talk about “breast cancer” in dogs, we’re referring to mammary gland tumors — tumors that develop in the mammary (breast) tissue.

One of the most important things you can do to help protect your female pet is to have her spayed. Spaying dramatically reduces the risk of developing mammary gland tumors, especially when performed before her first heat cycle. After multiple heat cycles, the protective effect of spaying against mammary tumors becomes much smaller.

Early detection is important, too. Regularly checking your pet for new lumps or masses along the mammary glands and bringing anything unusual to your veterinarian can help catch problems as early as possible.

Talk with your veterinarian about the best timing for spaying your pet based on her breed, age, size, and individual health needs.

🦷🐾 Healthy Teeth = A Healthier Pet! 🐾🦷

Dental health is an important part of your pet’s overall well-being! Just like us, pets can develop plaque, tartar, and gum disease without regular dental care.

A dental prophylaxis is a professional dental cleaning performed under general anesthesia. This allows our veterinary team to thoroughly examine your pet’s mouth and provide a complete cleaning, including:
-Dental radiographs (X-rays)-Scaling to remove plaque and tartar
-Polishing to smooth the teeth
-Probing to evaluate gum health
-Extractions or additional dental treatment when needed

Your pet’s teeth and oral health are evaluated during their annual wellness examination. However, dental disease can develop between visits, so it’s important to watch for signs of oral discomfort, including: dropping food while eating, excessive drooling, pawing at the face or mouth, bleeding from the mouth, bad or foul-smelling breath, and changes in eating habits or difficulty chewing.

🏠 What can you do at home?
Daily tooth brushing is the best way to help maintain your pet’s oral health. Use pet-safe toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush—never human toothpaste.

We know that daily brushing can be challenging! Thankfully, there are other options, including dental chews and specially formulated dental diets. Look for products approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC). The VOHC evaluates scientific evidence for products designed to help reduce plaque and/or tartar accumulation.

Products list: https://vohc.org/accepted-products/

As always, talk with your veterinarian about the best dental care plan for your individual pet.
