☀️🐾 Happy Saturday from Your Veterinary Team! 🐾☀️

Weekends are a little reminder to slow down, enjoy the simple moments, and spend time with the ones who make life better. For many of us, that includes the four-legged family members who greet us at the door, follow us from room to room, and somehow always know when we need a little extra comfort.

Today, take a few extra minutes to toss the ball, enjoy a walk, share a cuddle on the couch, or simply sit outside together and soak up the sunshine.

As veterinarians, we have the privilege of seeing the incredible bond between pets and their people every day. It's a bond built on loyalty, trust, and unconditional love, and it's one of life's greatest gifts.

We hope your Saturday is filled with wagging tails, gentle purrs, wet noses, and plenty of happy memories. ❤️

🐶🐱 From all of us at the clinic, have a safe, relaxing, and wonderful weekend! 🐾💙

⚠️Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) in Dogs & Cats: What Every Pet Owner Should Know 🚨

A urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria enter the urinary system and cause inflammation and discomfort. UTIs can affect pets of any age, but they are more common in female dogs, senior pets, and pets with underlying health conditions.

🐾 Watch for these common symptoms: • Frequent urination • Straining to urinate • Accidents in the house or outside the litter box • Blood in the urine • Strong-smelling urine • Excessive licking of the ge***al area • Increased thirst • Signs of pain or discomfort while urinating

⚠️ Important: If your pet is unable to urinate or is repeatedly straining with little to no urine produced, seek veterinary care immediately.

Early treatment can help your pet feel better faster and prevent complications. If you notice any of these signs, give us a call! 🐶🐱❤️

☀️🐱 Why Does Your Cat Always Find the Sunniest Spot in the House? 🐱☀️

As veterinarians, one of the most common things we see in our feline patients is their impressive ability to locate the warmest patch of sunlight available. Whether it's a window sill, a sunroom floor, or that one spot on the couch, cats seem to have a built-in solar-powered GPS!

But why do they love sunbathing so much?

🌞 It Helps Conserve Energy Cats have a naturally higher resting body temperature than humans, averaging between 100.5°F and 102.5°F. By soaking up the sun's warmth, they can stay comfortable while using less energy to maintain their body temperature.

😴 It Promotes Better Rest Warmth helps muscles relax and creates the perfect environment for a cozy cat nap. Since cats spend 12-16 hours a day sleeping, finding a sunny spot makes their favorite pastime even more enjoyable.

🦴 It Can Ease Stiff Joints Older cats, especially those with arthritis, often seek out warm places because heat can help soothe achy joints and improve comfort.

🐾 It's an Instinct Wild cats often rested in warm, protected areas during the day to conserve energy for hunting. Our house cats may have traded the hunt for a food bowl, but many of those instincts remain.

⚠️ A Quick Safety Reminder While indoor sunbathing is generally safe, make sure your cat always has access to fresh water and cooler areas if they become too warm. Cats can overheat, especially during the hotter months.

So the next time you find your cat stretched out like a furry solar panel in a beam of sunshine, just remember: they're not being lazy. They're practicing efficient feline energy management! ☀️🐈

Tip: If your senior cat suddenly starts seeking out heat much more than usual, it may be worth scheduling an exam. Increased heat-seeking behavior can sometimes be associated with underlying health conditions that we'd be happy to evaluate.

🌦🐾 Rainy Season Is Here... and So Are the Risks!

While the showers may be a welcome change to our previous conditions, rain can create hidden health hazards for our pets.

Keep an eye out for these common seasonal concerns:

🦟 Fleas & Ticks
Warm, humid conditions provide the perfect environment for parasites to thrive. Consistent monthly prevention is your pet's best defense.

🩺 Skin Irritations & Infections
Wet fur and damp skin can lead to bacterial and fungal infections, especially in pets with thick coats or skin folds.

🤢 Digestive Upset
Standing water, spoiled food, and outdoor debris can expose pets to bacteria and parasites that may cause vomiting or diarrhea.

🤧 Respiratory Illnesses
Extended exposure to wet conditions can contribute to coughing, sneezing, and other respiratory issues.

✅ Dry your pet thoroughly after outdoor adventures.
✅ Keep up with flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
✅ Provide clean, fresh drinking water at all times.
✅ Contact your veterinarian if you notice itching, skin changes, coughing, vomiting, or diarrhea.

A little prevention goes a long way. Let's keep our furry family members healthy, happy, and protected all season long! 🐶🐱❤️

🐾 Why We Recommend the Leptospirosis Vaccine 🐾

At our clinic, one of the vaccines we strongly recommend for many dogs is the Leptospirosis vaccine, often called the "Lepto vaccine." While it may not be as well-known as rabies or distemper, Leptospirosis is a serious disease that can have devastating consequences for both pets and people.

💧 What is Leptospirosis? Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that can cause severe damage to a dog's kidneys and liver. In some cases, it can lead to permanent organ damage, hospitalization, or even death.

🐕 How Do Dogs Contract Leptospirosis? Many people are surprised to learn that dogs do not have to live in the woods or on a farm to be at risk.

Dogs can become infected by: ✔️ Drinking from puddles, ponds, creeks, or standing water
✔️ Walking through contaminated water or mud
✔️ Contact with urine from infected wildlife such as raccoons, opossums, skunks, squirrels, rats, and mice
✔️ Exposure in backyards, parks, hiking trails, campgrounds, and even urban neighborhoods

Because wildlife frequently visit residential areas, even dogs that only go outside to potty can be exposed.

⚠️ Why Is It So Important? Leptospirosis is considered a zoonotic disease, meaning it can spread from animals to humans. This makes prevention especially important for protecting not only your pet, but your family as well.

Signs of Leptospirosis may include: • Lethargy • Fever • Vomiting • Diarrhea • Loss of appetite • Increased thirst or urination • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)

Unfortunately, symptoms can sometimes appear suddenly and progress quickly.

💙 Prevention Is Much Easier Than Treatment Treatment for Leptospirosis can require hospitalization, intensive care, and extensive diagnostics. Vaccination is one of the safest and most effective ways to reduce your dog's risk of infection.

If you have questions about whether the Leptospirosis vaccine is right for your pet, our team would be happy to discuss your pet's lifestyle and risk factors.

🐾 A simple vaccine today could prevent a serious illness tomorrow. 🐾

🚨 Fleas & Ticks Are Out in FULL FORCE This Year! 🚨

If it seems like we're talking about fleas and ticks more than usual lately... it's because we're seeing them more than usual lately.

Thanks to our mild winter and warm, humid weather, flea and tick populations have exploded this season. We are diagnosing more flea infestations, flea allergy dermatitis, tick bites, and tick-borne diseases than we typically see this time of year.

"But my pet only goes outside to potty..."

Unfortunately, that's all it takes.

🕷️ Ticks wait in grass, leaves, shrubs, and along walkways for a passing host. A quick trip outside can be enough for a tick to hitch a ride.

🦟 Fleas are even sneakier. They can live in your yard, be carried by wildlife, and can even be brought indoors on shoes, clothing, or other pets.

Why prevention matters:

✔️ Prevents uncomfortable itching and skin infections
✔️ Protects against flea allergy dermatitis
✔️ Reduces the risk of tapeworms
✔️ Helps prevent serious tick-borne diseases
✔️ Saves you from costly and frustrating home infestations

Remember: By the time you see fleas or ticks on your pet, there are often many more hiding in the environment.

The best protection is consistent, year-round prevention, even for pets that spend most of their time indoors or only venture outside for bathroom breaks.

If your pet is not currently on flea and tick prevention, or if you're unsure which product is best, give us a call. We'd be happy to help keep your furry family members protected this season! 🐾

Some patients need medicine.
Some need surgery.
And some just need someone gentle enough to remind them they’re safe. 🤍

Sweet Luna was feeling a little nervous during her appointment yesterday, and Sam never left her side. From quiet reassurance to soft pets and comforting words, he made sure Luna knew she wasn’t facing anything alone. Thankfully, her surgery went well today and she is already doing so much better. 🐾

People often see the doctors during appointments, but veterinary technicians are the steady heartbeat moving quietly behind the scenes. Sam wears more hats than we can count. He comforts anxious pets, supports worried owners, assists during procedures, monitors patients, fixes anything we throw at him, keeps the day moving, and somehow still manages to make everyone around him laugh along the way.

The truth is simple: our clinic would not function the same without him.

We are incredibly thankful for the compassion, patience, and dedication Sam brings to every single patient he cares for. Luna was lucky to have him today, and honestly, so are we. 💙

🚨 HE IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME TO KEEP WAITING. 🚨

Over a month.

Over 30 days of watching people walk past him.
Over 30 days of hoping someone is going to take him home.

And somehow… this sweet boy is still homeless.

He’s only a year old. Still a baby, really. A giant-hearted, goofy, velcro-shadow of a dog who wants nothing more than to be glued to someone’s side at all times. We’re talking full Stage 5 Clinger status. Bathroom buddy. Laundry supervisor. Emotional support shadow. 🖤

He has energy, yes. The kind that says:
“Let’s play.”
“Let’s go outside.”
“Let’s be best friends immediately.”

But underneath all that puppy energy is one of the softest, most docile dogs you could meet.

✔️ Housebroken
✔️ Crate/Kennel trained
✔️ Good with other dogs
✔️ Not dominant whatsoever
✔️ Would LOVE a dog friend
✔️ Just wants companionship and patience
✔️ Neutered and microchipped

He would do best with teenagers or older children. He absolutely adores little kids, but he has this odd habit of gently putting their arm in his mouth to lead them around. We truly do not believe it’s aggression at all. He never leaves marks, never hurts anyone, and honestly seems confused about what he’s even trying to accomplish. 😅 But because it could scare smaller children, we want to be honest and set him up for success.

What he really needs is someone patient enough to guide him.
Someone willing to give him time to decompress.
Someone who understands that dogs don’t become perfect overnight when their whole world has been turned upside down.

Right now, he doesn’t need perfection.
He needs a chance.

A foster.
An adopter.
A couch.
A human.

Because the longer dogs sit homeless, the more they begin to believe they were forgotten.

Please help us prove him wrong. 🐾

Message us if you can foster, adopt, or even share this post. His person has to be out there somewhere.
