🐾 Fun Fact Friday 🩺

Annual wellness bloodwork can help detect health problems in pets before they show symptoms! Just like routine lab work at your doctor’s office, bloodwork gives veterinarians a better look at your pets overall health. Bloodwork helps veterinarians evaluate your pets systemic functions and can catch issues like kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, infections, and more.

Since pets age faster than humans, yearly bloodwork is one of the best ways to help keep them happy and healthy for years to come!❤️🐶🐱

🌪️ Hurricane season is here — are your pets prepared? 🐾

One of the most important things you can have during a storm or emergency is a copy of your pet’s medical records. If you need to evacuate, board your pet, or visit an emergency clinic, having easy access to their vaccination history, medications, and medical information can save valuable time and reduce stress.

We recommend keeping:
🐶 Current vaccination records
🐱 Medication lists and prescriptions
📋 Microchip information
🏥 Your veterinarian’s contact information
📱 Digital copies saved on your phone or email

Being prepared helps keep your pets safe when unexpected weather strikes. Don’t wait until the last minute — make your pet emergency-ready today! ❤️

We had some lovely Golden Retriever visitors today — Athena and Apollo! 💛🐾

Here are some fun facts about this amazing breed:

🐾 They LOVE water because their coats are water-resistant and they even have webbed feet!
🐾 Golden Retrievers have “soft mouths,” meaning they can carry things gently without damaging them. Some can even hold an egg without cracking it! 🥚
🐾 Their double coat sheds A LOT — especially during spring and fall. (“Golden glitter” gets everywhere ✨)
🐾 A healthy Golden Retriever can often learn over 100 commands and words!
🐾 They’re known for their famous “Golden smile” — happy expression included 😄

Thank you, Athena and Apollo, for brightening our day with your sweet smiles and wagging tails! 💕

🦷✨ Dental health is more important than many pet owners realize! ✨🦷

Did you know that dental disease is one of the most common conditions we see in pets? Tartar buildup, infected teeth, and inflamed gums can lead to pain, bad breath, difficulty eating, and even affect the heart, liver, and kidneys if left untreated.

These photos show the amazing difference a dental procedure can make! 💙 Clean teeth and healthy gums don’t just improve your pet’s smile — they improve their overall quality of life.

Signs your pet may need a dental:
🐾 Bad breath
🐾 Yellow/brown tartar buildup
🐾 Red or bleeding gums
🐾 Dropping food or difficulty chewing
🐾 Pawing at the mouth
🐾 Decreased appetite

Routine dental care and professional cleanings help keep our furry friends happy, healthy, and pain free! 🐶🐱

Call us today to schedule your pet’s dental evaluation! 🦷✨

✨ Move for Mental Wellness in Vet Med ✨

Working in veterinary medicine can be incredibly rewarding — but also physically and emotionally exhausting. Between long hours, compassion fatigue, emotional cases, and nonstop days, it’s important to take care of your mental wellness too. 💙

Even small moments of movement can help:
🐾 A short walk between appointments
🐾 Stretching after a long surgery day
🐾 Dancing during closing duties
🐾 Stepping outside for fresh air

Movement can help reduce stress, improve mood, boost energy, and give your mind a reset during tough days.

To everyone in vet med: your mental health matters just as much as the care you give your patients. Take a moment for yourself when you can. 🌿✨

Today we chose to move as a clinic and move with a little fun and silliness. It provided laughter, smiles and bond with one another!

🐾 Happy National Pet Month! 🐾
May is all about celebrating the unconditional love, joy, and companionship our pets bring into our lives every single day. Whether they’re wagging tails, purring softly, or giving us those “feed me” looks—we wouldn’t trade them for the world! ❤️
This month, take a little extra time to spoil your furry (or feathered, or scaly!) family members. Go for an extra walk, give them their favorite treat, or simply enjoy some extra snuggles.
We’d love to see your pets! Drop a photo in the comments and tell us what makes them so special. 🐶🐱🐾
