🌸 Spring Shedding is Here! 🐾

As the weather warms up, many of our furry friends start shedding their winter coats — it’s totally natural! ☀️ Dogs and cats grow thicker fur in the colder months, and come spring, their bodies shed that excess to stay cool.

What you can do at home:
🧼 Brush regularly to help control loose fur
🛁 Bathe with a deshedding shampoo
🍽️ Keep them on a healthy, balanced diet
🐶 Ask us about supplements for coat health!

If you’re overwhelmed by the hair storm, we’re happy to recommend products or grooming tips specific to your pet’s needs. Let’s keep those coats shiny and your home a little less furry! 🐕🐈

Tick Season Reminder! 🏔️

One of our veterinary technicians recently saved a tick she removed from her pet and placed it in a sealed bag to show just how many eggs a single female tick can lay. It’s pretty shocking—and a powerful reminder of how important year-round parasite prevention is for your pets!

🌷 Spring Cleaning with Pets – Tips for a Safe and Healthy Home! 🐾

Spring is here, and it’s the perfect time to freshen up your home! 🧹✨ But when you’re cleaning with pets around, it’s important to use pet-safe products and take extra precautions to keep them safe. Here are some helpful tips:

✅ Use Pet-Safe Cleaning Products – Look for non-toxic, natural cleaners or make your own using simple ingredients like vinegar and baking soda. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, and certain essential oils, which can be harmful to pets.

✅ Keep Cleaning Supplies Out of Reach – Store all cleaning products in cabinets or high shelves that your pet can’t access. Make sure to close containers tightly.

✅ Ventilate the Area – After cleaning, make sure the room is well-ventilated to avoid inhalation of any fumes from cleaners.

✅ Focus on Pet Areas – Clean your pet’s bedding, toys, and favorite spots with safe products to keep them fresh and germ-free! Wash their blankets and toys regularly to prevent bacteria and pests.

✅ Beware of Toxic Houseplants – Some common plants, like lilies, azaleas, and ivy, can be toxic to pets. Be sure to keep plants out of your pet’s reach or avoid them altogether.

🧽 Your pets deserve a fresh, clean home too – safely! If you have any questions about pet-safe cleaning or need advice on toxic substances to avoid, reach out to us.
