Pet owner tip that people don’t talk about enough: emergency vet visits can happen to anyone. 🐾

A blocked cat, broken leg, foreign body surgery, snake bite, parvo puppy, pancreatitis after a little too much holiday people food, heat stroke, or toxicity from eating something toxic — we see unexpected emergencies every single week. One of the best ways to prepare ahead of time is looking into pet insurance before you ever need it.

Some commonly used companies pet owners often look into:
• Trupanion
• Healthy Paws
• Pets Best
• Embrace Pet Insurance
• Nationwide Pet Insurance

Every plan is different, so make sure to compare reimbursement rates, deductibles, waiting periods, and what they consider “pre-existing.”

Hopefully you never need it — but if you do, it can make a huge difference in stressful situations. ❤️🐾

Found a tick on your dog with a little white dot on its back? There’s a good chance it was a Lone Star Tick — one of the most common ticks we see around here. 🕷️🐾

And unfortunately, they can carry a disease called Ehrlichia (ehrlichiosis). Ehrlichia is a tick-borne illness that can affect a dog’s immune system and blood cells. Some pets get very sick, while others start with really vague signs like:
• Low energy
• Decreased appetite
• Fever
• Limping/joint pain
• Acting sore or stiff
• Bruising or nosebleeds in more severe cases

If you are repeatedly finding ticks on your dog, especially Lone Star Ticks, we strongly recommend testing. We can run what’s called a 4DX test, which screens for several common tick-borne diseases we see here in Arkansas, including Ehrlichia.

A lot of dogs exposed to ticks may look completely normal at first. By the time symptoms start, they can already be pretty sick — which is why testing matters. If your dog is constantly pulling ticks, don’t wait until they feel bad to check them.

This is also why we push flea/tick prevention so heavily. Prevention is much easier (and cheaper) than treating tick-borne disease later on. ❤️🐾

A parked car can become dangerously hot for pets much faster than people expect — and cracked windows do not cool the vehicle enough to make it safe. 🚗☀️🐾

Many people are surprised to learn that the temperature inside a vehicle can rise dramatically within just a few minutes. Even if it feels tolerable outside, the inside of a parked car traps heat extremely quickly.

Cracking the windows may allow a small amount of airflow, but it does not prevent the temperature inside the vehicle from reaching dangerous and potentially deadly levels.

Dogs are especially vulnerable because they do not sweat like humans do. They mainly rely on panting to cool themselves, and once their body temperature begins rising, heat stroke can happen very quickly.

Heat stroke can cause:
• Severe dehydration
• Organ failure
• Brain swelling
• Collapse
• Death

Please, if your vehicle cannot safely stay running with air conditioning while locked, leave your pets at home. Even “quick” errands can turn dangerous faster than people realize. We would always rather see pets safely at home in the air conditioning than risk a preventable heat stroke emergency. ❤️🐾

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country — and the military working dogs who served faithfully beside them. 🇺🇸🐾

These heroes, both human and canine, showed incredible courage, loyalty, and sacrifice. Their dedication and service will never be forgotten.

We wish everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day!

Happy World Turtle Day! 🐢

A few turtle & tortoise facts every owner should know:

🐢 Popular pet species like red-eared sliders, painted turtles, box turtles, musk turtles, and sulcata tortoises can live anywhere from 20 years to over 100 years depending on the species
🐢 Sulcata tortoises are the 3rd largest tortoise species in the world and can weigh over 100 pounds
🐢 Turtles NEED UVB lighting — sunlight through a window does not count
🐢 Aquatic turtles produce a LOT of waste, so filtration and water quality matter way more than people realize
🐢 Most turtles and tortoises need a varied diet, not just dried pellets or lettuce
🐢 Soft shells, swollen eyes, and poor growth are common signs husbandry is off
🐢 Many turtles recognize their owners and will swim over begging for food the second they see you

Turtles and tortoises are awesome pets with huge personalities when they’re set up and cared for properly!

🐾 National Rescue Dog Day 🐾

There is just something special about a rescue dog. Maybe it’s the way they learn to trust you. Maybe it’s the way they act thankful for the little things. Or maybe it’s because once they pick their person… they’re ALL in.

As veterinary staff, we see rescue dogs from every kind of background grow into amazing companions every single day. The scared shelter dog turns into the confident family dog. The dog nobody wanted becomes someone’s whole world.

One thing we always encourage people to remember with rescue dogs — adjustment doesn’t happen overnight. Many are coming from stressful or unfamiliar situations, and it can take time for them to fully settle in. That’s why the “3-3-3 Rule” is so helpful:
🐶 3 days to decompress
🐶 3 weeks to settle into a routine
🐶 3 months to start feeling truly comfortable and secure ❤️
