“They’ve always been healthy, so we haven’t really had a reason to go to the vet.”

We hear this often—and we understand where it comes from. When your pet is eating, playing, and acting normal, it feels like everything must be just fine.

But here’s the truth: pets are incredibly good at hiding illness.

Unlike people, they can’t tell us when something feels “off.” They don’t complain about headaches, sore teeth, fatigue, or subtle changes happening inside their bodies. Many medical issues—heart disease, kidney changes, dental disease—can quietly develop long before outward signs appear.

That’s why yearly wellness exams are so important, even for pets who seem perfectly healthy.

Just like annual physicals for people, wellness visits help us:

Establish a healthy baseline

Catch subtle changes early

Manage or prevent disease before it becomes painful or costly

Our goal at Brookview Animal Wellness (BVA) isn’t to look for problems—it’s to help your pet live their best, longest, most comfortable life.

This is the first post in our series on the silent signs pets can’t tell us about and why prevention truly is worth a pound of cure.

Don’t wait on your pet’s health.

The holidays are full of plans, travel, and to-do lists—but your pet’s health shouldn’t be something that gets pushed to “after the holidays.”

Pets don’t tell us when they feel sick.
They don’t Google symptoms or try home remedies.
By the time they show signs like vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite, it can already be serious.

👉 Example:
When humans are vomiting, we can rest, hydrate, and try to make ourselves comfortable.
Your pet can’t do that. They rely on you—and your primary veterinarian—to find the cause and provide relief.

Owning a pet is like having a small child when it comes to medical care.
*They can’t ask to go to the vet.
*They can’t explain how they feel.
*We must be their voice.

If you’re traveling for the holidays and / or your pet hasn’t had a recent exam, now is the time. A wellness visit may catch something quietly developing before it turns into an emergency—saving stress, heartache, and rising costs.

🎁 Think of a wellness exam as a holiday gift for your pet.
If your budget includes $100 for a family member, caring for your pet family member with a vet exam is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give.

We’re here to help you keep your pets healthy, comfortable, and home for the holidays.
💙 Compassion. Comprehensive. Affordable.

🐾 Pet Parents: Don’t Wait—Act Early! 🐾
Hey fur-family, listen up: If your pet seems “off,” schedule that vet visit at the first sign.
Yes, even if it’s “just” a little vomiting, less energy, or skipping a meal.
Here’s why:
✅ We humans can sip Gatorade, pop an antacid, and push through.
❌ Our pets can’t. They hide pain like pros—by the time you notice, it may have been brewing for days.
Worst case? You cancel and pay a small fee (or, like us, we waive it—see below 👇).
Best case? You avoid a midnight ER dash and a heart-stopping bill.
Real story from this week:
A worried mom booked for her vomiting pet. Turns out someone raided the treat jar! 😅
We said: “No charge. No guilt. Thank you for being proactive.”
She was thrilled by the support and that her pet would be great.
💙 With an established vet relationship, “better safe than sorry” is always supported here.
💔 If your current clinic doesn't allow this—find one that gets it.
Times are tight—we know. Let’s keep your best friend healthy without the ER panic.
📞 Spot something? Call us. We’ve got your back (and your pet’s).

🚨 URGENT PARVO ALERT: Cases Are SKYROCKETING 🚨
🐶 We’re getting MULTIPLE CALLS A DAY for Parvo—and it’s PREVENTABLE.
This virus is deadly without aggressive treatment, brutal on pups, and a wallet-killer even if caught early.
“My dog only stays in the backyard.”
❌ WRONG. You go to the pet store, groomer, park, or grocery. Parvo clings to shoes/clothes and lives in soil for up to a YEAR.
💉 Prevention? ~$30/year for the vaccine.
💔 Treatment? Thousands + heartbreak.
PUPPY OWNERS: LISTEN UP
All puppies need multiple boosters until 16–20 weeks old (breed-dependent). One shot isn’t enough.
⚠️ Humans spread Parvo.
⚠️ Infected dogs shed virus UP TO 2 WEEKS BEFORE symptoms show—spreading it to every surface, yard, and pup they contact.
⚠️ Flies transmit and are running rampant in your yard.
⚠️ PARVO SYMPTOMS – ACT FAST:

Severe vomiting (often projectile)
Bloody, foul-smelling diarrhea
Extreme lethargy – won’t play, barely lifts head
Loss of appetite
Fever or low body temperature
Rapid dehydration – sunken eyes, dry gums, skin tents
Collapse / weakness – can’t stand or walk

Symptoms hit hard & fast. By the time you see blood in stool or collapse, it’s an EMERGENCY.
📞 CALL TODAY. VACCINATE TODAY.
Your dog’s life—and your bank account—depend on it.
