🤔 Ever feel overwhelmed by all the pet food advice online?
Between blogs, ads, and social media “experts,” it can be hard to know what’s fact and what’s fluff.

✅ That’s why we love these free guides created by the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA)—they’ll show you how to sort reliable nutrition info from the noise:

📸 Meet handsome Cash! 🐩💙

Cash recently had a vaccine titer panel and his results are positive ✅—meaning he still has protective immunity without needing another booster at this time.

For many pets, routine boosters are safe and important. But we can take a more tailored approach, especially for special cases like Cash. A few years ago, Cash battled an autoimmune condition where his immune system mistakenly destroyed his own platelets. Thankfully, he’s been in remission for several years 🙌, but we still want to avoid unnecessary immune system “challenges” whenever possible.

That’s where titer testing comes in. By checking antibody levels through a simple blood test, we can sometimes confirm protection against diseases like distemper and parvo without giving a routine booster. This strategy helps us balance protection from infectious disease with care for Cash’s unique health history.

💡 If you’re interested in learning whether vaccine titer testing might be right for your pet, we’re always happy to discuss options!

🍂🐾 Happy First Day of Autumn! 🐾🍂
The air is crisp, the leaves are falling, and our pets are ready to enjoy the season right alongside us.

🍁 Cooler temps = more comfortable walks and extra zoomies!
🍎 Don’t forget: some autumn favorites (like apples 🎉) are safe treats, while others (like grapes and raisins❌) can be harmful.
🍂 Seasonal allergies can flare for pets too—let us know if you notice extra itching!

Drop a photo of your pet enjoying fall in the comments—we’d love to see our furry friends soaking up the season. 📸🐶🐱

🐶🐱 How much should you be feeding your pet?

The short answer: it depends! Every pet is unique. Their ideal portion size can vary based on weight, activity level, spay/neuter status, and the calories in their food.

We’ve found a super handy calorie calculator that gives you a personalized starting point: https://petnutritionalliance.org/resources/calorie-calculators/

🌸 Today is National Pet Memorial Day 🌸

We know that our pets never truly leave us—they live on in the pawprints they’ve left on our hearts. 💕

Today, we honor and remember the beloved pets who have crossed the rainbow bridge. Each one was a cherished family member, and we’re grateful to have been part of their lives and stories. 🐾✨

💬 If you’d like, please share a photo or memory of a pet you’ve loved and lost in the comments below. Together, we can celebrate the joy they brought us and keep their memories shining bright.

🐾 How much do you really know about your pet’s food? 🐾

Choosing the right diet isn’t just about ingredients or marketing. The company behind the bag matters! Here are 5 key questions every pet owner should ask about their food brand:

1️⃣ Does the company employ a nutritionist on staff (not just a consultant)?
2️⃣ Who formulates the diet — and what are their qualifications?
3️⃣ Is detailed nutrient data (beyond the guaranteed analysis) available?
4️⃣ What research supports the company’s claims?
5️⃣ What quality control is in place for ingredients and finished products?

💬 Curious what others feed? Comment your brand and scroll to compare with fellow pet owners!
📌 Save this post so you’ll have these 5 questions handy next time you’re choosing food.
