That shelf of supplement bottles at home? Some are backed by real research, and some are just expensive junk. A few can even interfere with your pet's medications or be downright harmful. Our latest post breaks down which supplements actually earn their keep and which are pure marketing.

Pet supplements fall into two very different camps: a handful of well-studied nutraceuticals with real evidence behind them, and a much larger pile of products whose promises outrun their science. Joint support with glucosamine and omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics for gut health, and certain skin and...

Foxtails are built to move in one direction only, and once they attach to a dog they keep going, burrowing into skin, ears, paws, even lungs. Our newest post explains why Marin County dogs are at real risk and what to do if you suspect your dog has picked one up.

Foxtails are dangerous because of what they do after they attach: they move in one direction only, burrowing forward through fur and into skin and never backing out. In Marin County, where trails run through golden hills that dry out every summer, foxtails are a seasonal fact of life from roughly Ma...

We break down the practical evaluation criteria, including when boarding might be a better fit than group play, at Fairfax Veterinary Clinic.

Choosing a daycare for your dog takes more than a quick Google search and a look at the photos. The factors that actually determine whether your dog will be safe, comfortable, and genuinely enriched by daycare (things like staff-to-dog ratios, how groups are managed, rest schedules, behavior screeni...

Your pet's coat says a lot about their health, and when it starts thinning or bald spots appear, it's worth investigating. Hair loss can come from hormonal problems like thyroid disease, or from skin conditions like allergies and infections. At Fairfax Veterinary Clinic, we look at the full picture to find the real cause and match treatment to the diagnosis. If your pet's coat has changed, we'd love to help figure out what's going on.

Pet Hair Loss: Hormonal Imbalance, Parasites, or Skin Condition? Your pet's coat is one of the clearest windows into their overall health, so when it starts thinning in patches or bald spots appear without an obvious reason, it's natural to feel worried. Alopecia (the medical term for hair loss) can...
