With summer in full swing and people and pets out looking for water activities to cool off, we ask that you check your area for algae blooms. Red tide and Blue-Green algae blooms are very dangerous for humans and pets alike. symptoms range from mild respiratory/skin irritation to fatal neurological damage. You can check out this website from the Florida Department of Health to keep track of current blooms.

Algae are plant-like organisms that sustain marine life. They contribute to the food chain and to the oxygen that keeps waterbodies healthy, but

Employee Pet Corner!

Today we meet Lynsee's furry family members.
Luna is her 2-year-old Catahoula mix. She is full of sass and energy and loves coming to visit everyone at work. Daisy is her 4-year-old kitty who is equally as sassy and energetic. These two both enjoy chasing each other around the house and causing chaos. Daisy is notorious for stealing chicken nuggets, but after she gets all of her zoomies and mischief out, she can usually be found snuggling with her favorite 7-year-old human. Luna doesn't have a singular favorite person, as long as she is included in the snuggle time, she is happy! 🩷

MYTH BUSTERS!

My pet doesn't need to be spayed or neutered.

In vet med we hear a lot of reasons as to why pet parents don't want to fix their pets. Weather it's because they think they may one day breed them, or they are worried about putting their pet under anesthesia, or it's too expensive.

We recommend spay and neuter for a number of reasons, all of which are rooted in the overall health of your pet.

The first reason is obvious, unwanted litters are a big headache. It can be expensive and even dangerous depending on the breed of your pet. There are several problems that can occur during pregnancy or delivery, and if you are not prepared it can spell heartache or disaster.

Fixing your pet can also help with unwanted behaviors, such as marking, escaping the house or yard, and even some aggression.

Spaying and neutering your pet can also greatly reduce the risk of your pet developing prostate cancer, mammary cancer, or pyometra, all of which can be expensive, painful, or even fatal if not treated.

If you're wondering about getting your pet fixed, ask our staff! we are happy to go over the pros and cons and answer any other questions you may have!

Let's talk about diabetes in our pets. It is something that we see quite frequently in clinic and although initially it may be scary, we are here to help! You may have seen some of these symptoms in your pet recently, and if you have, then it's worth it to visit the vet to rule diabetes in or out. There are different contributing factors that can increase the likelihood of developing diabetes, such as diet, weight, and even gender. If you ever have a concern your pet may be dealing with diabetes, don't hesitate to reach out to our clinic and get them checked out!

Employee Pet Corner!

Today we meet Amanda's Fur babies!
Katana is her Tennessee Brindle. Although she looks sweet, she thrives off of pure chaos with her energy levels hitting somewhere between 'working dog' and 'natural disaster'. But aside from the extreme energy she is extremely loyal to Amanda and loves to go on hikes and snuggle up.
Stella is Amanda's soul dog. She has had her since she was 7 months old and they have been on countless adventures together. Stella is so loyal to her mom and although she is very independent, she has crippling anxiety when mom is not around.
Astro is the definition of a girl's best friend. Wherever she is, Astro is not far away. He loves to sit in the sink while she does her hair and make up. At bedtime he's the first one under the covers ready for snuggles and making biscuits on her arm! 🩵

MYTH BUSTERS!

Have you ever heard that grain free diets are a healthier option to feed your pet?

It is actually not recommended that your pet be on a grain free diet! Grains are a very important part of a well-balanced diet. There is a common misconception that grain-free helps with allergies or is a low-carb option.

Food allergies are the rarest form of allergies that we see. Switching to a grain-free diet rarely helps the issue.

Grain-free also does not equal low carb, as most dog foods will replace the missing grains with things like potatoes, sweet potatoes, lentils, quinoa, and peas, which means that the carb content can be the same as non-grain-free.

If you are going to feed your pet a grain-free diet, be sure to ask our staff for recommendations on supplements or resources to ensure that you are including all of your pets' nutritional needs.
