Happy National Cat Day! Today we celebrate the cats who choose us, train us, and somehow convince us that 4 AM is an acceptable breakfast time. From lap warmers to independent spirits, from chatty companions to silent observers - every cat brings their own special brand of magic to their families. What makes your cat wonderfully unique?

As pets age, medications often become part of daily routines. Create systems that work: pill organizers for multiple medications, smartphone reminders for dosing times, treat-dispensing methods for difficult pill-takers, and clear communication with all family members about who's responsible for what. Consistency in medication timing can significantly improve effectiveness!

October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month! Every adoption story is special, but there's something magical about giving a senior dog or overlooked pet their perfect match. Whether it's an energetic puppy or a calm senior, shelter pets come with grateful hearts and endless love. Share your adoption story or tag someone whose rescue pet changed their life!

Blood work can uncover things we can't see from the outside! It provides comprehensive insights into overall internal organ health and helps detect early onset of disease before pets show symptoms. For senior pets and those struggling with chronic conditions or that are managed on chronic medications, we recommend blood work every 6 months to catch changes early. Think of it as preventative maintenance for your pet's health engine. When was your pet's last blood panel?

Based on your pet’s unique immune system, fall can bring similar challenges that we see with summer allergies!
While outdoor allergens persist, indoor allergens like dust mites and mold can increase with closed windows and heating systems.
Watch for persistent sneezing, watery eyes, or skin irritation that doesn't improve. Unlike colds, allergies don't cause fever and symptoms tend to be consistent rather than progressively worse.
When in doubt, give us a call!

Cooler weather means longer, more comfortable outdoor adventures!
But senior pets or those with joint issues may need modifications. Consider shorter, more frequent walks on softer surfaces like grass instead of concrete, and warming up before vigorous play.
How does your pet's exercise routine change with the seasons?

October is Pet Cancer Awareness Month, and early detection is critical to potentially yield more positive outcomes.
Watch for lumps, bumps, changes in eating habits, lethargy, or persistent coughing. Many cancers are treatable when caught early, so don't wait to have concerning changes examined.
Regular wellness exams can help us catch problems before you notice symptoms. Schedule a check-up if anything seems different!
