Not all itching is just allergies. Persistent scratching, licking, or skin irritation can sometimes indicate a deeper issue that may worsen over time if left untreated.

Watch for signs like repeated paw licking, head shaking, red or irritated skin, or hair loss and hot spots. Early evaluation helps keep your pet comfortable and prevents minor problems from becoming more serious.

If you are noticing any of these symptoms, scheduling an exam is the best next step toward relief and long-term health.

Those “small” treats can add up faster than you think.

Because pets are much smaller than we are, even a few extra calories can have a big impact on their weight. Extra calories over time can contribute to pet obesity, which may lead to reduced mobility, lower energy levels, and other health concerns.

Maintaining a healthy weight is one of the best ways to support your pet’s long-term health. Weight-management nutrition and controlled portions can help pets feel satisfied while supporting healthy metabolism and body weight.

A good rule of thumb: treats should make up no more than 10% of your pet’s daily calories.

If you’re unsure how much to feed or which treats are best for your pet, our team at Glenkirk Animal Hospital is happy to help.

Still think it’s just allergies?

Head shaking, scratching, odor, or discharge can all point to an ear infection, one of the most common (and uncomfortable) conditions we see in dogs and cats.

Ear infections rarely resolve on their own and can worsen without treatment. Early evaluation helps prevent pain, chronic issues, and long-term damage.

If you’re noticing these signs, give us a call to schedule an exam.

February is National Pet Dental Health Month 🦷

Dental disease is one of the most common conditions we see in both dogs and cats; and it often develops quietly.

Bad breath, red gums, tartar buildup, or changes in eating habits can all be early warning signs. By age 3, most pets already show some level of periodontal disease.

Routine oral exams and professional cleanings help prevent pain, tooth loss, and bacteria spreading to other organs. If your pet hasn’t had a recent dental check, this is a great time to schedule one.
