🎒 Back-to-school season is here... is your pet ready?

Sudden schedule changes can catch our pets off guard, especially those prone to separation anxiety.

A little prep now can help them feel secure:
✅ Start easing into the school-year routine early
✅ Practice short separations to build comfort
✅ Create a cozy, enriching space for solo time
✅ Leave puzzle toys or worn t-shirts with your scent
✅ Talk to us about anxiety treatment options

Bring the p**p (we're serious).… 👀💩

Even healthy-looking pets can have hidden parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and giardia. Left untreated, parasites can cause diarrhea, weight loss, and even be passed to people. That’s why we recommend f***l testing as part of routine care!

Book your pet’s visit and bring a fresh stool sample. Contact us today!

As a reminder, summer heat can be dangerous for pets, especially dogs with short snouts like Bulldogs, Pugs, and Frenchies.

Watch for signs of overheating like excessive panting or drooling, bright red gums, wobbling, or vomiting. If you notice these signs, get your pet to a cool area, offer water, and call us immediately.

🥵With the summer heat, remember to check your pet’s water bowl more frequently!

Pets can’t sweat like humans. They cool down through panting and paw pad sweat, so staying hydrated is critical for regulating body temp.
