🐾 September is Animal Pain Awareness Month 🐾

Did you know that pets often hide their pain? Unlike us, they can’t tell us when something hurts, and many owners don’t realize that subtle changes in behavior may actually be their way of communicating discomfort.

- Dogs may limp, move more slowly, or become less playful—but that limp isn’t “just how they walk.” It’s often a clear sign of pain.
- Cats are even better at masking pain, often showing changes so small—like hiding more, grooming less, or avoiding jumping—that they’re easy to miss.

Because our pets are so good at hiding discomfort, regular checkups and prompt evaluations are key to keeping them happy and healthy. If you’ve noticed changes in your pet’s mobility, energy, or behavior, don’t wait—pain management can make a world of difference in their quality of life.

📅 This month, let’s spread awareness and look closer for the signs our pets may be trying to show us.

✨ Annual Bloodwork: A Vital Part of Your Pet’s Health ✨

Routine checkups aren’t just about vaccines and physical exams—annual bloodwork gives us a deeper look into your pet’s overall health.

At Airport Animal Hospital, we offer discounted bloodwork bundles that may include:
✔️ CBC (Complete Blood Count)
✔️ Chemistries (organ function, electrolytes)
✔️ 4DX (heartworm, Lyme, ehrlichia, anaplasma)
✔️ F***l screening
✔️ T4 (thyroid check)

Why is this important?

🐾 For younger pets: Detect hidden illnesses or early changes before symptoms appear, so we can treat them right away.

🐾 For older pets: Monitor age-related changes and catch issues early—when treatment is often easier and more effective.

Annual bloodwork gives you peace of mind and helps us provide the best possible care for your furry family members.

Call us today to schedule your pet’s annual bloodwork panel at a special bundled rate!

💙 Why Does Veterinary Care Cost So Much? 💙

As veterinary professionals, we dedicate our lives to caring for your pets and want nothing more than to keep them happy and healthy. Unfortunately, quality care does come with costs—and we understand how overwhelming that can feel at times.

Every day, we see both sides: clients who express frustration about expenses, and clients who face heartbreaking decisions due to financial limitations. Please know that behind every treatment plan, recommendation, or procedure is a team who truly cares about your pet as if they were our own.

We came across this thoughtful post that explains why veterinary medicine costs what it does and why it’s so important to the care your pets receive. We encourage you to take a few minutes to read it the blog post below.

Thank you for trusting us with your furry family members. 💕
