🐱🧡 HAPPY NATIONAL CAT DAY FROM CAH! 🧡🐱

Today, we’re celebrating ALL cats, but we want to give a little extra love to our senior feline friends! 🐾💕

As our cats get older, their health needs change, and keeping up with their wellness visits becomes even MORE important! 🩺🐈

🏡 Even if your cat lives strictly indoors, they still need routine veterinary care! Indoor cats can develop dental disease, kidney disease, diabetes, thyroid problems, arthritis, and other age-related conditions that may go unnoticed because cats are experts at hiding signs of illness.

🐾 Why are wellness visits so important for senior cats?
❤️ Early detection of health concerns
❤️ Dental health checks
❤️ Weight and mobility monitoring
❤️ Bloodwork to catch hidden changes
❤️ Keeping your beloved companion comfortable and healthy as they age

Cats age gracefully, but they still need us to look out for them! Regular wellness exams help us catch changes early and give our senior kitties the best quality of life possible. 🧡

🎉 This National Cat Day, give your feline friend a little extra love — and make sure their wellness care is up to date!

📸 We’d love to see your feline friends! Share a picture of your cat in the comments below, especially those sweet senior faces! 😻👇

Just like us, our pets’ teeth need to be taken care of on a normal basis as well. And, tooth be told, who doesn’t love a good smile?

Whether you’re at the vet or at home, there are plenty of ways to care for your pet’s pearly whites to help them have the healthiest smile possible! Here are a few ways you can do just that:

1. Brush their teeth. Yup, the same way we do! Get your pet a toothbrush and some toothpaste specifically made for them and get brushing. This can take some getting used to, so ease them into the routine. Start by brushing just a few teeth for a few seconds, then gradually work your way through brushing all teeth.

2. Give them a (dental) treat approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council. The Council collects data showing that these approved treats actually work to decrease tartar accumulation. There are plenty of great dental treats out there that may be a little more enjoyable (and more appreciated) by your furry friend.

3. Choose a chew approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council. There are numerous options when it comes to chews, but the act of chewing or gnawing can actually do a great job at keeping your pet’s teeth clean and healthy.

4. Dental Cleanings. Bringing your pet in for a dental cleaning is a great way to promote a healthy smile. During your appointment, your vet can check for anything in your pet’s mouth that may need some extra care or attention while doing the cleaning.

🎃🍫 HALLOWEEN CANDY CAN BE SCARY FOR YOUR PETS! 🐾🚨

Halloween is full of treats for us, but some can be downright dangerous for our furry family members!

⚠️ Keep these treats AWAY from your pets:

🍫 Chocolate: Especially dark chocolate and baking chocolate, which can be highly toxic to dogs and cats.

🍬 Sugar-Free Candy: May contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener that can cause a life-threatening drop in blood sugar and liver damage in dogs.

🍇 Raisins: Can cause serious kidney damage in dogs.

🍭 Candy Wrappers: Can cause choking or dangerous intestinal blockages if swallowed.

🍫 Candy & Treat Bags: Keep trick-or-treat bags, candy bowls, and Halloween goodies safely out of reach!

🚨 Think your pet got into the candy stash? Don't wait for symptoms! Contact your veterinarian or an animal poison control center immediately. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by a veterinary professional.

👻 Let's keep Halloween fun, safe, and SPOOK-FREE for our four-legged family members!

🎃👻 SPOOKY COSTUMES CAN SCARE OUR FURRY FRIENDS! 🐾

Halloween costumes are fun for us, but remember… our pets may not recognize the person hiding behind that mask! 😱🎭

🐶🐱 Keep these tips in mind to keep your pets feeling safe:

👻 Masks & Scary Costumes: Masks, wigs, and unusual outfits can make familiar people look frightening to pets. Approach them calmly and let them recognize your scent and voice.

🐾 Watch Their Body Language: Hiding, trembling, growling, pinned-back ears, or a tucked tail can mean your pet is frightened. Give them space!

🎃 Choose Comfort Over Cute: If your pet wears a costume, make sure it fits properly, doesn't restrict breathing or movement, and has no small pieces they could chew or swallow.

🚪 Beware of the Doorbell! Constant visitors and strange costumes can cause stress and increase the risk of pets slipping out the door. Keep them in a quiet, secure room if needed.

🧡 Remember: If your pet doesn't enjoy dressing up, that's okay! A happy, comfortable pet is always better than a perfectly dressed-up one.

🐾 Let's make Halloween fun for EVERYONE — including our four-legged family members!

From your friends at Clarion Animal Hospital 🐾🧡
