A cute photo is not worth an unsafe costume. 👻

Before Halloween, run through the checklist. Your pet should be able to move, walk, and see clearly. Skip anything with small pieces they could chew off and swallow. Choose something lightweight, since costumes trap heat fast. And never leave a pet unattended in costume.

Do a short trial run at home first. If your pet freezes, backs out of it, or paws at it, that is your answer. A festive bandana counts.

Cozy, not toasty. 🔥

Once the heat comes on, new hazards come with it. Pets will press right up against space heaters and burn themselves without moving away. Candles at tail height get knocked over. Fireplace embers pop past the screen. And cords from heaters and heated beds are chew targets.

Give heaters a clear buffer, keep candles where a tail cannot reach, use a screen, and tuck cords away.

There is more happening in an annual exam than most people realize.

We listen to the heart and lungs for murmurs or abnormal sounds. We check teeth and gums, since dental disease is one of the most common things we find. We assess joints and mobility for early stiffness. We track weight against previous visits, because gradual gain is easy to miss at home. And bloodwork can flag organ changes long before symptoms appear.

Roughly 30 minutes once a year makes early detection possible.

Grateful for our vet techs, today and every day. 💜

Our technicians monitor anesthesia, take radiographs, run in-house lab work, place catheters, manage pain, handle anxious patients with real skill, and walk you through discharge instructions when you are too worried to absorb any of it. Most of the care your pet receives here passes through their hands.

Happy Vet Tech Week to our team. We could not do this without you.

Your eye is not a measuring cup. 🥣

Eyeballing portions almost always means overfilling, and a little extra at every meal adds up quickly over a year. Use an actual measuring cup, and follow the feeding guide for your dog's ideal weight rather than their current weight. That distinction matters more than people expect.

Treats count too. They should stay under about ten percent of daily calories.

Not sure what your dog's ideal weight actually is? Ask us at your next visit and we will work it out together.

Cats are experts at hiding illness. It is instinct, not stubbornness.

By the time a cat looks visibly unwell, a condition has often been developing for months. Kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, dental pain, and diabetes all tend to progress quietly. Watch for subtle shifts in drinking, appetite, litter box habits, grooming, or how much they hide.

Annual exams catch what cats work hard to conceal. We also have a stress-free area designed specifically for our feline patients, which makes the visit easier on everyone.

Fall changes what is waiting in your yard. 🍂

Fall fertilizer and pesticide applications are toxic if ingested, and pets pick them up off paws as easily as off grass. Sharp tools and yard debris cause cuts and punctures. Moldy leaves and compost piles can contain tremorgenic mycotoxins, which cause tremors and seizures in dogs who eat them.

Store products sealed and out of reach, put tools away, and clear wet leaf piles before they break down.

Joint care is not just a senior dog thing.

The habits that protect mobility later start early. Keeping your dog at a healthy weight takes real load off the joints. Consistent moderate exercise builds the muscle that supports them. Traction on slippery floors prevents the slips that add up. And catching a subtle limp early opens up more options than waiting until it is constant.

If your dog is slowing down on walks, hesitating at the stairs, or taking longer to get up, bring it up with us. There is usually more we can do than people expect.

Wildlife gets busier in the fall, and so do the odds your dog meets some of it.

Squirrels, skunks, and raccoons are all more active this time of year as they stock up before winter. Raccoons and skunks can carry rabies and leptospirosis, and even a brief scuffle can leave a bite wound that needs attention.

Keep pets leashed on walks, especially at dawn and dusk, and make sure vaccines are current.
