Is Your Pet Drinking More Water Than Usual?

A little extra water on a hot day is normal—but a noticeable increase in thirst can sometimes signal an underlying health issue.

Excessive drinking may be associated with:
💧 Diabetes
💧 Kidney disease
💧 Cushing's disease
💧 Urinary tract infections
💧 Other medical conditions

If you're filling the water bowl much more often than usual or your pet is asking to go outside more frequently to urinate, it's worth scheduling an exam.

Changes in your pet's daily habits are often the first clue that something isn't quite right.

When in doubt, have them checked. Early detection can make a big difference.

Flea & Tick Prevention Isn't Just for the Woods

Think your pet is safe from fleas and ticks because they don't hike or camp?

Think again!

Fleas and ticks can be found in:
🌳 Your backyard
🚶 Neighborhood sidewalks
🐕 Dog parks
🌿 Tall grass
🏡 Even around your home

These tiny parasites can transmit serious diseases and make your pet miserable with itching, skin infections, and anemia.

The best protection is year-round flea and tick prevention, even for pets that spend most of their time indoors.

Not sure if your pet is on the right prevention? We'd be happy to help you choose the best option for their lifestyle.

We hear this all the time—but indoor cats still need yearly wellness exams!

Regular exams help us detect:
🐾 Dental disease
🐾 Arthritis

Cats are experts at hiding illness, which is why preventive care is so important.

The healthiest cats are often the ones receiving routine veterinary care before they show signs of illness.

True or False?

🎉 True or False?

A wagging tail always means a dog is happy.

❌ False!

Dogs wag their tails for many reasons—including excitement, nervousness, uncertainty, and even warning.

Learning your dog's body language can help you better understand how they're feeling.

Cat Tip

Did you know?

Cats are experts at hiding illness.

If your cat suddenly stops eating, hides more than usual, strains in the litter box, or isn't acting like themselves, don't wait.

Cats often show subtle signs when something serious is developing.

Trust your instincts—you know your cat better than anyone.
