🥹 November is National Pet Cancer Awareness Month, and we will be sharing tips all month to help our clients watch their pets more closely for early signs and symptoms.
You know your pet better than anyone. If something feels different, writing it down and calling the veterinarian is a caring next step. Here are some facts about cancer in pets:

1. About 1 in 4 dogs will develop cancer during their lifetime. Lymphoma is the most common type of cancer in cats and dogs.

2. A growing or changing lump can be a warning sign. An easy way to tell if a lump is changing is to write down the location, size and feel (does it move or not move when gently feeling). Return a week or two later and measure/feel again. Cancers can change dramatically, swelling and shrinking or expanding rapidly within hours, days, or a few weeks. However, bug bites and stings can also react the same way. Giving a lump time to fade will rule out a bug bite or insect sting.

3. Weight loss, appetite changes, breathing trouble, or ongoing vomiting or diarrhea also deserve attention. Hair and coat changes in pets is also a sign that their body is not getting enough nutrition due to changes in the body.

4. Finding cancer earlier can help treatment begin sooner. If you have any concerns at all about your pet's health, it's never wrong to see a veterinarian! (770)832-2475

👨‍⚕️November is Senior Pet Health Month! Older pets still enjoy the little things: a soft bed, a favorite toy, and time with their people. A few simple changes can make their daily life easier! Here are some tips to help your aging pets live their best life:

✅ Older pets can be more likely to develop health problems, including arthritis and organ disease. Stay in touch with your veterinarian about which supplements might help your pet with their aging body.

✅ Non-slip flooring, ramps, and supportive/elevated beds can help with comfort and movement.

✅ Puzzle feeders, gentle play, and short reward-based training can keep older pets engaged.

✅ Senior pets may need more frequent veterinary exams and testing. Ask your veterinarian about special bloodwork and dental cleanings to help prolong their teeth and overall health.

If we can help your pet live their best life, give us a call and schedule your wellness exam today! (770)832-2475

🥰 November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month and a beautiful time to notice the older pets waiting for homes. A senior dog or cat may be ready to share quiet walks, cozy naps, and a lot of love.
Senior pets can be a great option for several reasons!

1. Older pets are often calmer than puppies and kittens. The shelter staff is also familiar with their personalities and can often match them better to their adoptive family's lifestyle and preferences since they are fully developed!

2. Many senior pets already know basic commands or are house-trained.

3. Their adult size, personality, and energy level are already clear.

4. Older shelter pets are often among the last to be adopted and are grateful for a quiet, comfortable place to be loved.
If you are considering adopting a pet this year, don't forget to consider an older model! 🩶

🕰 The clock falls back today... Time changes not only affect the humans in your family! It can also disrupt your pet's strict internal clock and daily habits, leading to early morning wake-up calls, confused feeding times, and mild anxiety.

🤓 Why Daylight Saving Time Might Affect Pets
• Pets cannot read a clock, but they run on strict circadian rhythms—internal biological clocks tied to sunlight, temperature, and feeding cues.
• Because meals happen at a set human time, a one-hour shift means your dog or cat will demand breakfast or dinner an hour earlier than usual.
• You might notice whining at the door for a walk, pacing, extra neediness, grogginess, or accidental indoor potty trips as they adjust.
• Studies show that working or sled dogs rely heavily on fixed handler schedules and show noticeable stress, whereas many casual companion dogs adapt fairly quickly.
• When the clocks fall back, your regular evening walk may suddenly land in the dark, requiring reflective gear or flashlights
If your pets have a hard time adjusting their "schedules", changing the time of feeding, wake ups and walks by just 15 minutes a day can help ease them into the new time.

🧡🤎 We're at the end of October and National Pet Wellness Month already!!
Pets cannot tell us when something hurts or feels off. A proactive approach helps catch hidden health issues early, keeps energy levels high, and prevents costly emergency treatments down the road.
✋5 Simple Ways to Celebrate Pet Wellness
• Schedule a Check-Up: Book a wellness exam with your vet to review bloodwork, check for hidden conditions, and make sure vaccinations are up to date.
• Check the Diet: Feed a balanced, high-quality diet tailored to your pet's age, weight, and activity level—and limit heavy table scraps.
• Keep Them Moving: Daily walks, fetch, or interactive indoor games help maintain a healthy weight and support joint mobility.
• Don't Forget Dental Care: Brush your pet's teeth regularly or offer vet-approved dental chews to prevent painful gum disease.
• Boost Mental Health: Use puzzle feeders, lick mats, or dedicated cuddle and training time to keep their minds engaged.
Small daily habits add up to a longer, happier life for your best friend. If you have questions about your pet's health or need to schedule a wellness exam, give us a call! (770)832-2475

🐾💙 Saturday is National Pit Bull Awareness Day! 💙🐾
Pit bulls are some of the most loyal, goofy, and affectionate companions out there. Yet, they are also one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented groups of dogs.
Behind every "pittie" is a dog that just wants to love and be loved. Today—and all through National Pit Bull Awareness Month—we support facts over fear:
• Judge the deed, not the breed. A dog's personality comes from love, training, and environment, not a label. Organizations like the American Veterinary Medical Association note that dog-bite statistics do not reliably point to a single inherent breed risk.
• Support rescues. Shelters everywhere are full of sweet, block-headed best friends waiting for a second chance. EVERY rescued dog comes with their own history of trauma, abandonment or mistreatment and can act out accordingly, but not all dogs respond out of that fear. It is important to maintain safe handling of all dogs and to protect children around all pets, even if they've grown up with the family.
• Spread the truth. Share your favorite pit bull stories and photos to help change the narrative.
If you are looking to add a furry friend to your family, check out your local shelter or rescue organization. If you have questions about a specific dog breed or are looking to adopt, give us a call and let us help you select a breed that fits into your family's lifestyle. (770)832-2475

🎃💀👻 Halloween is three days away!!! Keep your furry friends safe and happy this weekend with these simple tips:
🍬🍫🍭 Hide the candy: Keep all chocolate, candies, and sugar-free items containing xylitol safely locked away. Ingestion can cause severe illness, seizures, or liver failure. Wrappers and sticks are also choking hazards.
😌 Create a quiet safe zone: Place pets in a separate, comfortable room with soft music or a white noise machine during trick-or-treating hours to reduce stress and prevent them from bolting out the front door.
🤡 Skip the costume if they hate it: Only dress up your pet if they truly enjoy it. Make sure any outfit does not block their breathing, sight, hearing, or movement.
🕯 Watch out for decorations: Keep lit candles, jack-o'-lanterns, glow sticks, and electric cords well out of reach to prevent burns, fires, or toxic ingestion.
🧐 Check ID tags and microchips: Ensure your pet wears a proper collar, active ID tag, and updated microchip in case they accidentally escape during the commotion.
If you have any questions about your pet's health, give us a call. (770)832-2475

🖤 Happy Black Cat Day! This day of recognition was started after researchers found that black cats stay in shelters an average of 7 days longer than other colors. While there are superstitions and folk tales of bad energy associated with black cats, there is nothing further from the truth!
🐈‍⬛ These sleek little house panthers are full of personality! Here are some facts about black cats:
• Black cats are not a single breed. The Cat Fanciers' Association recognizes 22 different cat breeds that can feature solid black coats.
• The Bombay is the only distinct cat breed that is exclusively solid black—including its paw pads, whiskers, and nose. It was bred in the 1950s to resemble a miniature black panther.
• High levels of melanin often result in striking yellow, gold, or copper-colored eyes in black cats.
• Exposure to strong sunlight can break down the melanin pigment in a black cat's fur, causing it to "rust" or turn a temporary brownish-red shade until the fur is shed and replaced.
• Many black cats carry a dormant tabby gene. When they lounge in the bright sun, faint tabby stripes may temporarily become visible through their faded black fur.
