We all want to save a few bucks — but when it comes to your dog’s food, cutting corners can cost way more than you think. While low-cost dog food might look appealing on the shelf, it can be packed with fillers like corn and wheat that lack real nutritional value and may even lead to serious health problems down the road (think kidney disease, colitis, and diabetes 😱).

The truth? Investing in higher-quality food now can help avoid expensive vet bills later — and keep your best friend healthier and happier. Good news: you don’t have to break the bank! Buy in bulk, use autoship discounts, check for coupons, and always chat with your vet to find the best options for your budget.

Your pup deserves the best — and so does your wallet in the long run!

We know they love car rides, but did you know that even on a mild day, a parked car can turn into a deadly oven within minutes? In August, temps inside a car can skyrocket to dangerous levels fast — even with the windows cracked.

Heatstroke can happen quicker than you think, and every year, countless pets suffer simply because they’re left behind. 💔

This August, let’s promise to never leave our furry family members alone in the car — not even for “just a minute.” If they can’t come with you, it’s safest to leave them at home where it’s cool and safe.

That sudden silence at home isn’t just because the kids are gone — your furry friend is probably wondering where their favorite humans disappeared to! After a summer of endless snuggles and playtime, pets can feel confused and lonely when school starts. 😢

The good news? You can help them adjust! Start practicing short departures now to get them used to alone time. Leave a worn T-shirt or piece of your clothing near their bed so they feel comforted by your scent. Create a little “goodbye routine” and try to tire them out with a play session before you leave — a sleepy pet is usually a calmer pet!

For cats, background noise (like “cat TV” on YouTube) and cozy hiding spots can make a big difference. Dogs often love puzzle toys or frozen treats to keep their minds busy while you're gone.

At Gully Animal Hospital of Grand Prairie, we know how heartbreaking it is when a pet goes missing. That’s why we offer quick and easy microchipping for your dogs and cats — helping ensure they always find their way back home. 🏡❤️

Microchipping is a simple, safe, and minimally invasive procedure that doesn’t require surgery or anesthesia. Once it’s done, there’s no maintenance or upkeep needed, and it provides a permanent form of ID that can’t fall off or fade. Most importantly, it greatly increases the chances of a happy reunion if your furry friend ever gets lost or stolen.

A microchip is a tiny electronic device placed just under your pet’s skin. When scanned, it shares a unique ID number linked to your contact information, so shelters and veterinary clinics can contact you right away and bring your beloved pet back home.

If you’ve ever worried about your pet slipping out the door or running off, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

📞 Call us today at (214) 412-2462 to schedule your pet’s microchipping appointment!
