November is Pet Diabetes Awareness Month, a great time to learn the signs of diabetes in dogs and cats 🐾

Watch for symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, weight loss despite a big appetite, or signs of lethargy. Cats may show weakness in their back legs, while cloudy eyes are more common in dogs.

If you spot these signs, early care is key! Call us to schedule an exam and keep your pet happy and healthy ❤️

Meet Chancho, our newest Clinic Crush of the Week! 🐾

This handsome 10-year-old Pug has been a beloved part of the Family Friends family since 2017. He is incredibly friendly and social every single time he comes in for a visit, and this week was no exception! Chancho stopped by for a dental cleaning with Dr. Ryan and made sure to snap a photo and get some snuggles in with one of his favorite ladies, ERT Sarah. We just love this sweet boy oh so much! ❤️

Chancho always looks forward to seeing his favorite vet staff! Does your pet have a favorite doctor or technician they love to visit? Give them a shoutout in the comments!
