🎉 August Patient of the Month! 🎉

This month's spotlight belongs to two adorable pups who are part of our Red Oak family—Wiley & Willow! 🐾❤️

Wiley is a lovable Chiweenie, and Willow is a beautiful purebred Dachshund. When they're not spending time at the hospital with their mom, Jordan, you can usually find them enjoying weekends at the lake or racing their little legs at local We**ie Races every spring and fall! 🌊🌭

⭐ Fun Fact: Wiley is currently training to become a service dog for his mom. We couldn't be more proud of this special little guy!

Think your pet has what it takes to be our next Patient of the Month? Keep an eye out for our next nomination post! Whether you have a dog, cat, horse, goat, bunny, or any other beloved pet, they could win a $20 credit toward their account at Red Oak Animal Hospital! 🐶🐱🐴🐐

🎉 Happy DOGust 1st! 🐾

Today we celebrate DOGust 1st—the universal birthday for shelter and rescue dogs whose exact birthdays are unknown. ❤️

Whether your best friend came from a shelter, a rescue, or found their way into your heart another way, today is the perfect day to celebrate the unconditional love they bring into our lives.

Treat them to an extra walk, a new toy, a special treat (vet-approved, of course 😉), or simply spend a little extra time together. Every rescue story is worth celebrating!

🐶 We'd love to see your adopted pups! Share a photo in the comments and tell us their adoption story. Let's fill our page with happy tails and birthday wishes! 🎂

Happy DOGust 1st to all the amazing rescue dogs out there—you truly are one of a kind. 💙

As our pets get older, they can't always tell us when something isn't quite right. ❤️ That's why we recommend annual senior bloodwork for pets 8 years of age and older.

Many age-related conditions, such as kidney disease, liver disease, thyroid disorders, diabetes, and other underlying illnesses, can develop long before your pet shows obvious signs. Catching these changes early gives us the best chance to treat them and help your pet enjoy a longer, healthier life.

Our Senior Wellness Panel includes:
🐾 CBC (Complete Blood Count)
🐾 Chemistry Panel
🐾 Thyroid Panel
🐾 Complete Urinalysis
🐾 Heartworm & Tick Disease Test
🐾 F***l Exam

💙 All of this for just $275 — a savings of over $400 compared to purchasing these tests individually!

Early detection can make all the difference. If your pet is 8 years or older, ask us today about scheduling their senior bloodwork. We're here to help keep your best friend feeling their best for years to come.

Someone's getting a little too comfortable around here... 🧡🐾

Calvin has settled into life at Red Oak Animal Hospital! Between climbing the cat tree, chasing toys, and squeezing in plenty of kitten naps, this little orange guy is keeping all of us entertained.

He's growing more confident every day, and we love watching his personality shine. If you're visiting the clinic, don't be surprised if you hear us talking about Calvin—or if you're lucky enough to catch a glimpse of him during his daily adventures!

We think he's doing a pretty great job as our newest clinic cat.

☀️ Sunburns Aren't Just a People Problem! 🐴

Did you know horses can get sunburned too? Horses with pink skin, white markings, or light-colored noses are especially at risk during the sunny summer months.

Signs of sunburn include:
• Red, inflamed skin
• Peeling or crusting
• Pain or sensitivity to touch
• Blisters in severe cases

You can help protect your horse by:
☀️ Applying an equine-safe sunscreen to vulnerable areas like the nose and around the eyes.
🧢 Using a UV-protective fly mask or fly sheet.
🌳 Providing plenty of shade during the hottest parts of the day.
💧 Making sure fresh water is always available to help prevent heat stress.

If your horse develops severe sunburn, painful sores, or skin that doesn't seem to be healing, give us a call. Early treatment can help prevent infection and keep your horse comfortable.

A little extra sun protection can go a long way toward keeping your horse healthy and happy all summer long! Thanks to AAEP for the informative graphic.
