Meet the newest addition to the Davis Family… 🐾
Everyone say hello to Todd!

Todd has officially joined the Davis crew and will occasionally be making appearances around Davis Family Veterinary Hospital. You may spot him supervising from behind the desk, sneaking in for extra treats, or welcoming visitors with puppy charm.

We are so excited to have him as part of our family and clinic family. Be sure to say hi to Todd next time you stop by! ✨

🦷 Dental health is about so much more than fresh breath! 🦷

By age 3, most dogs and cats already show signs of dental disease. Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to:
• Painful infected teeth
• Bad breath
• Difficulty eating
• Tooth loss
• Damage to the heart, liver, and kidneys from chronic infection

Many pets continue eating and acting “normal” even when their mouths are painful — which means dental disease often goes unnoticed until it becomes severe.

Routine dental cleanings and oral exams are one of the best ways to keep your pet healthy and comfortable for years to come. Preventative care can help avoid painful extractions and more serious health issues later on.

Signs your pet may need a dental evaluation:
🐾 Bad breath
🐾 Yellow or brown buildup on teeth
🐾 Red or bleeding gums
🐾 Dropping food or chewing differently
🐾 Pawing at the mouth
🐾 Decreased appetite

At Davis Family Veterinary Hospital, we’re here to help keep those tails wagging and purrs coming with compassionate dental care and modern medicine.

🐾 Tick Season is in Full Force — Is Your Pet Protected? 🐾

As temperatures rise, so does tick activity here in Tennessee. Ticks aren’t just a nuisance—they can transmit serious diseases to both dogs and cats, including Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, and more.

Even pets who spend just a little time outdoors (walks, yard time, potty breaks) are at risk.

Here’s how to stay ahead this season:
✔ Use year-round veterinarian-recommended tick prevention
✔ Check your pet daily, especially after outdoor time (ears, collar area, between toes, under tail)
✔ Keep grass trimmed and yard edges maintained
✔ Talk with your vet about the best prevention plan for your pet’s lifestyle

Prevention is much easier—and safer—than treating tick-borne illness after exposure.

If you’re unsure what product is best for your pet or need a refill on prevention, give us a call and we’re happy to help.

📢Also, please ask your veterinarian about possible prevention myths you may see online.

Stay safe and enjoy the outdoors—just don’t forget the tick protection

☀️🐾 Beat the Heat: Safe Summer Treats for Your Pup! 🐾☀️

When Tennessee temps start climbing, our dogs feel it too! Here are a few fun and safe ways to help your pup cool down this summer:

🍉 Watermelon (seedless & no rind)
A refreshing, hydrating snack packed with vitamins.

🫐 Blueberries
Tiny, tasty, and great straight from the freezer!

🥕 Frozen Carrots
Crunchy, cooling, and great for teeth.

🍌 Banana Slices
Freeze them for an easy summertime treat.

🧊 Dog-Friendly Frozen Treat Idea:
Mix plain yogurt + pumpkin puree + a few blueberries in an ice cube tray and freeze!

🚫 Avoid These Summer Dangers:
Grapes/raisins, chocolate, xylitol, onions, corn cobs, popsicles with artificial sweeteners, and ice cream with lots of sugar or dairy.

💧 Always provide plenty of fresh water and shade during outdoor playtime!

📸 Bonus points if your pup enjoys their frozen treats in a kiddie pool or under the sprinkler!

🐾 New Kitten? We’ve Got You Covered! 🐾

Bringing home a new kitten is such a fun (and busy!) time! From playful zoomies to sweet snuggles, those first few months are so important for setting them up for a healthy life. 🐱💕

Here are a few kitten care basics to keep in mind:
✨ Schedule their first vet visit to start vaccines and a wellness plan
✨ Keep them on a high-quality kitten diet for proper growth
✨ Start parasite prevention early (yes—even indoor kittens!)
✨ Introduce the litter box, scratching posts, and gentle handling
✨ Plan ahead for spay/neuter and microchipping

Kittens grow quickly, and we love being part of that journey with you! If you’ve recently welcomed a new furry family member, we’d love to meet them.

There’s something special about being a truly family-owned and operated clinic 🤍

This little moment—Dr. Davis and one of our boys at the microscope—pretty much sums it up. Our clinic isn’t just where we work, it’s where we’re raising our family too.

If you’ve visited us, you may have seen our boys tagging along, peeking into rooms, or occasionally popping in to say hello to your pets. Thank you for always being so kind, patient, and welcoming when they do. It means more to us than you know.

We believe caring for animals is a family value—and we’re grateful to share that with all of you and your pets every day.
