ATTENTION PET OWNERS:

Veterinary toxicologists from Pet Poison Helpline have identified a serious new hazard found in popular migraine/headache cooling head masks and similar products!

Pets are at risk if they ingest the contents of these products which can lead to serious neurologic signs and in some cases, death.

If you have similar products in your home, be sure they are always stored safely out of your pet’s reach. Promptly discard any damaged or leaking items. Should an exposure occur, contact Pet Poison Helpline right away.

Did you know it is Deaf Dog Awareness Week?

Deafness is often overlooked as a disability since the pet isn’t struggling with mobility. However, deaf pets need to adapt to a different way of life and proper training and a devoted owner means a deaf dog can still live their best life.

Deafness in dogs can be present from birth due to congenital deafness or acquired as they age. Some signs to look out for to identify deafness in your dog are:
- Lack of attention when you call their name
- No longer running to the door when someone comes home
- Sleeping more deeply or getting startled more easily
- Not responding to squeaky toys during playtime

Some ways to support your deaf pets:
- Training them to respond to hand signals, make sure to shower them with attention and treats when they respond correctly to the visual cue
- Use a flashlight at night or in the dark to get their attention
- Get their attention before initiating contact (petting, trying to play with them, etc.) as they cannot hear your approach and may get startled
- Keep them on a leash to help keep them safe as they cannot hear traffic or the presence of other dogs
- Get a personalized tag that identifies them as deaf as well as having your contact informaiton
- Microchip them


If your pet is exhibiting any of these signs, be sure to talk to tour veterinarian.

Notice something different about our friend Dak's lip? He is having facial swelling!

Facial swelling is an allergic reaction response and is something we see often in dogs. The reaction can be caused by a number of things such as bug bites or stings, vaccinations, medications, or certain foods. Though we don't always know exactly what caused your pets allergic reaction, we know how to treat it! Most pets with facial swelling need some veterinary intervention to get injectable medications to stop the reaction. So if you notice this in your pet, be sure to call a veterinarian right away.

September is Pet Insurance Month!

As an urgent care, we see first hand every day the need for coverage for unplanned accidents and illnesses. Early enrollment is key to ensuring a lifetime of health coverage!

As veterinary medicine becomes more technologically advanced, the cost of care increases. That's because of higher costs associated with the equipment, facilities and training required to provide these higher-quality services. Pet health insurance can help by offsetting some or most of the costs of diagnosing, treating and managing your pet's illness or injury.

Not only do some plans cover preventative care, but they can greatly make a difference in case of emergency or chronic diseases. Having pet insurance can give you peace of mind knowing that affording emergency or advanced care is easier. It allows your pet to get the care they need without having to have finances play a part in the decision process.

How could seeing this roll into the front door not make your day!?

We had the privilege of helping treat a wound on sweet Hades here. She was the perfect patient and was quickly able to roll on back home with her dad. 😻
