We hold a special place in our hearts for our senior companions. Whether they’ve been with you since they were a pup or kitten, or you've welcomed them later in life, older pets have a wisdom and gentleness that deserve to be cherished—and cared for thoughtfully.

As our furry friends age, their needs change, but that doesn't mean their quality of life has to decline. 💛 Here are a few holistic tips to help your senior pet thrive:

🌿 Holistic Tips for Aging Pets:
✔️ Diet Matters – Choose high-quality foods
✔️ Gentle Movement – Daily walks, stretching, or even acupuncture can ease stiff joints and keep them active.
✔️ Supplements – Consider natural joint support (like glucosamine, turmeric, or green-lipped mussel), with guidance from a holistic vet.
✔️ Comfort at Home – Orthopedic beds, non-slip rugs, and ramps can make a big difference.
✔️ Energy Healing & Massage – Reiki, gentle massage, and other non-invasive therapies can soothe anxiety and pain.

👀 Signs of Age-Related Conditions to Watch For:
⚠️ Increased thirst or urination
⚠️ Changes in appetite or weight
⚠️ Confusion or disorientation
⚠️ Stiffness, limping, or reluctance to move
⚠️ Changes in vision or hearing
⚠️ Lumps, bumps, or skin changes

✨ Early detection and gentle support are key! If you notice any of these signs, let’s work together to create a personalized wellness plan to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and vibrant for as long as possible.

🐶🐱 This month, let’s honor our senior pets with extra love, patience, and care. They’ve given us their best years—let’s make their golden ones truly golden. 💛

🐾🖤 Happy National Black Cat Day from Rockland Holistic Veterinary Care!🖤🐾

Today, we’re shining a spotlight on the elegant, mysterious, and often misunderstood black cats. These sleek kitties are full of personality, love, and just the right amount of sass!

We believe every cat deserves love and care—regardless of coat color. Sadly, black cats are still the least likely to be adopted from shelters, but they’re just as affectionate, playful, and loyal as any other feline.

📸 If you have a black cat in your life, share their photo below—we’d love to see our community’s little panthers!
🖤 Thinking about adopting? Consider giving a black cat a forever home—you might just find your new best friend.🖤🐱

Let’s help break the myths and celebrate the magic!

🍁🐾 Fall Flea & Tick Prevention ! 🐾🍁

Just because the weather is cooling down doesn't mean fleas and ticks disappear! This is the worst time of year for fleas and ticks — and unfortunately, it’s not just outdoor pets that are at risk. These pests can hitch a ride inside and affect every member of your household, including indoor pets and even your family. 🐜🍂 As the leaves fall and wildlife is on the move, these pests can remain active well into the fall, especially in wooded or grassy areas around Rockland.

Prevention isn’t one-size-fits-all. Depending on where you live and your pet’s lifestyle, we can help you choose the safest and most effective flea and tick prevention strategy for your home.

At our practice, we offer a variety of natural, holistic, and conventional options — all carefully selected to protect your pets without compromising their health.

🌱 We can help you choose the safest, most effective approach for your pet — whether it’s fully natural or a carefully balanced integrative plan.

🐕🐈 Let’s keep your pets safe, happy and pests-free this fall.

📞 Call us or send a message to schedule a personalized flea & tick prevention consult today!

🐾 Today is National Pet Obesity Awareness Day 🐾
We believe in helping your pets live long, healthy, and vibrant lives — and maintaining a healthy weight is a big part of that.

🎯 Did you know over 50% of dogs and cats in the U.S. are overweight or obese? Extra pounds can lead to serious health issues, including diabetes, joint problems, heart disease, and a shortened lifespan.

But here’s the good news: small changes can make a BIG difference!

🌿 Our holistic approach focuses on:
✔️ Balanced, species-appropriate nutrition
✔️ Gentle, effective exercise routines
✔️ Natural supplements to support metabolism and mobility
✔️ Whole-body wellness, not just weight loss

🐕🐈 Whether your pet needs a full wellness reset or just a tune-up, we’re here to help — without judgment, only compassion.

📅 Schedule a healthy weight consultation today and let’s work together to get your furry friend feeling their best!

💚 Because a healthy pet is a happy pet.

🎃🐾 October/Halloween Tips to Keep Your Pets Safe & Happy! 🐾👻

🍂🍂October is full of fun, costumes, and candy—but it can be a little spooky for our furry friends! 🐶🐱 Here are some quick tips to keep your pets safe this Halloween/October.🍂🍂

1. Halloween costumes can be scary for both people and animals! A normally gentle dog can become aggressive when scared, so keep your dog away from trick-or-treaters.
2. Keep your animals in a separate room away from the front door to prevent anyone from getting out.
3. Make sure your animal has the proper identification in case he gets out during all of the Halloween excitement.
4. Don’t leave your dog outside during Halloween. Pranksters might tease your animal, and it will be very stressful for him to see people walking by all night.
5. Be aware of any candles or jack-o-lanterns that your dog could knock over.
6. Try putting a costume on your dog before Halloween. If he shows any resistance, don’t do it. Halloween is a very stressful night for dogs so they don’t need the added stress of wearing a costume.
7. Make sure your dog has no access to candy. Chocolate is toxic to dogs and wrappers will not be digested.
8. Your dog does not understand the concept of Halloween, so make sure you provide him with comfort and protection on this stressful night!
9. Try to act normally around your dog. If you over-reassure him, it is only enforcing the idea that there is something to worry about.
10. If you come across a dog while trick-or-treating, do not approach it without the owner’s consent. 🍂🍂

🐾 Happy National Dog Week from all of us at Rockland Holistic Veterinary Care! 🐶💚

This week Sept 21st-27th, we’re celebrating the dogs who fill our lives with unconditional love, laughter, muddy paw prints, and tail wags that can brighten even the toughest days.

Whether your pup is a zoomie champion, a snuggle bug, a wise old soul, or a goofy ball-chaser, they all deserve a little extra love this week (and every week). 🦴

At Rockland Holistic, we feel so honored to care for your four-legged family members. Every tail wag at the door, every nose boop during an exam, reminds us why we do what we do.

✨ This week, take a moment to slow down and just be with your dog. A quiet walk, a belly rub, an extra treat—those little moments mean the world to them.

Feel free to share a photo of your pup below—we'd love to see the furry faces we’re lucky enough to care for! 💕🐕
