Continuing our Pet of the Week series:
Today, we’re honored to introduce our very first kitten—sweet Dulce.🥰
Her owner shares this touching story:
“From the moment I saw her, I just knew—Dulce was meant to be mine.❤️ She crept into my life so quietly, with the gentleness of a whisper, unsure of the world around her. But in no time, she blossomed.✨ That shy little kitten found her courage, her sparkle, and a bit of sass too. Now she fills our home with laughter and love, darting through the rooms with her crinkle toys, bringing joy to everyone she meets. She’s a tiny force of light and life, and she’s made our hearts fuller than we ever imagined.”
At The Heights, our hearts are full as we watch this precious baby girl grow into her strength. 😍It’s a true privilege to be part of her journey—to see her blossom a little more each day. Dulce is already such a radiant light, full of sweetness and spirit, and we know she’ll only grow more beautiful with time. There’s no doubt about it—she’s a stunning little soul who has captured all of our hearts.

Take a look behind the scenes at what the Heights staff wants to share with you! What are we looking at, you ask? Microfilariae! 😱😷🪱
‼️Microfilariae are the larvae of parasitic worms, most commonly heartworms, that circulate in the bloodstream of infected animals, like dogs and cats. These tiny, thread-like organisms are transmitted through mosquito bites and can grow into adult worms that live in the heart and lungs, causing serious health issues. Detecting microfilariae through blood tests is crucial for diagnosing heartworm disease early, allowing for timely treatment and prevention. Regular testing and prevention are key to protecting pets from this dangerous condition.‼️
Here's how veterinary professionals find them:
🔬 1. Blood Tests: A small blood sample is taken from your pet and looked at under a microscope. Microfilariae may be seen swimming in the blood if the infection is active.
🧪 2. Concentration Techniques: To catch low numbers of microfilariae, vets may use a Knott’s test—a special method that concentrates the parasites to make them easier to spot.
🧫 3. Antigen Tests(Heartworm test): For heartworm, vets often use rapid antigen tests that detect proteins from adult worms in the bloodstream—another sign of infection.

As temperatures rise, it’s important to know the signs of overheating in pets. Heatstroke can happen more quickly than you think. If you notice symptoms, it’s important to act fast and visit the nearest emergency pet hospital.🌡

Happy Memorial Day! Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Let’s take a moment to reflect, give thanks, and cherish the freedoms we hold dear. As we celebrate Memorial Day, let’s keep our furry friends safe and happy! 🐾🌟 With all the festivities, loud noises, and outdoor fun, it’s important to take a few extra precautions to protect our dogs. Keep them indoors during fireworks, ensure they have a cool, safe spot to rest, and make sure they’re on a leash during outings. Also, remember—no human food for your dog! Certain foods like chocolate, grapes, and onions can be harmful to them. Let’s make this a fun and safe day for everyone, including our loyal companions! 🐶

❗Please note that our clinic will be closed in observance of Memorial Day. We will resume normal hours on [5/26/2025 at 8am]. Thank you for your understanding, and we wish you a safe and happy holiday!❗

Continuing our Pet of the Week series—this one’s extra special!
We’re thrilled to introduce our very first feline feature: Petra!🤩😍

Petra’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. She traveled all the way from Hawaii to Portland, Oregon, as part of the “Clear the Islands” campaign. I met her at just 12 weeks old during a local adoption event—and the moment I saw her, I knew she was meant to be part of our family.
Why go so far for a cat, you ask? Petra was the perfect match for our sweet Griswold, who had recently lost his companion to a neurological disease. She wasn’t just a new friend—she became his guiding light and source of joy.❤️
Petra truly served a greater purpose, and we’re so honored to share her beautiful story.
Not only is she overflowing with love, but she also has the silliest personality. Her favorite place? Sitting right on her dad’s desk while he's "working"—though obviously, nothing on the screen is more important than her.💁‍♀️💅
Petra is, without a doubt, a star. That said, she’s a little embarrassed to admit that with all that love, lounging, and life-saving, she occasionally forgets to stick to her strict bodybuilder diet. Grooming can also be a bit of a challenge when your bodybuilder belly gets in the way.😦
Pro tip from Petra:
"When your abs are this chiseled, grooming becomes a full-body workout. Lean on a wall, strike a pose, and pretend you meant to do it. Fluffin’ isn’t easy when you’re this jacked.💪"

🌞 Pet Safety Alert: Texas Heat Edition 🐾

As temperatures soar in Texas, remember to protect your pets from dangerous heat!
🔸 Never leave pets in parked cars — even a few minutes can be deadly.
🔸 Limit outdoor time during peak heat (10 a.m. – 6 p.m.).
🔸 Walk pets early morning or late evening to avoid hot pavement burns.
🔸 Provide shade and fresh water at all times.
🔸 Watch for signs of heatstroke: excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, or vomiting.

When temperatures rise, pets are at serious risk of heat-related illnesses. Without proper care, dogs and cats can suffer from heatstroke, dehydration, and even paw pad burns from hot pavement. A parked car can reach deadly temperatures in minutes—even with windows cracked. Heatstroke can cause organ failure or death if not treated quickly. Always ensure your pets have plenty of shade, fresh water, and a cool place to rest. Being heat-aware can save a life! 💧
Keep your furry friends cool and safe — their lives depend on it! 🐶🐱❤️

It’s time for our "Pet of the Week" series—meet the one and only Chester!
Chester is a shy, sweet boy with a heart as big as his love for adventure.😊❤️ A few fun facts about this lovable pup: He’s a graduate of doggy school (yep, he's smart!), and now he’s living his best life at daycare. But wait—there's more! Chester’s also part of a book club📖 (he’s all about those page-turners) and sometimes even works!

Chester’s hobbies? Oh, they’re as awesome as he is. He loves taking long walks with his mom and dad, playing at his grandparents' house, and snuggling up with his sister, Ori.🥰 When it’s time for some bonding, he’s all about gaming with dad (he’s got some serious skills). But the highlight of Chester’s life? Sticking his head out the car window and feeling the wind in his fur—pure bliss! And don’t even get him started on his “missions”😮 in the fields, where he gets gloriously dirty because, honestly, what’s an adventure without a little mud?

Oh, and Chester wants to share his little secret: when mom and dad say "no," grandma and grandpa’s house is basically a "yes!" (Shh, he’s a clever one 😉).

This sweet, silly boy is all about love, fun, and making memories every single day. He’s the best kind of adventure buddy!

Our Pet of the Week series continues with a truly heartwarming story! Meet Zucchini, and read the beautiful message his family shared about how this special pup became such a big part of their lives.

"Meet Zucchini (aka Zuke the Duke, Zuke-aroni, Zukie) – the little guy who stole our hearts and completed our family. 💚
We weren’t quite ready to adopt after losing our senior dog a little over a year ago. Fostering helped us heal, but we were still taking baby steps toward welcoming another permanent pup. Then—boom—we saw Zucchini’s adoption photo, and something just clicked. His profile sounded like a perfect match… and he has been, in every possible way.
Zuke is an American Hairless Terrier with a heart as big as his personality. He’s silly, sweet, and endlessly playful. Every day, he proudly empties the toy basket one toy at a time, invites us to play chase and tug-of-war, and brings nonstop joy into our lives.

His bond with his “naked brother,” W***y (our Chinese Crested mix), has been instant and beautiful. They are inseparable—best friends and partners in mischief. Watching them together has filled our home with laughter, light, and love again.
We’re beyond grateful to the rescue in Louisiana who stepped up for Zucchini and gave him the chance to find his forever home. We feel so lucky that we got to be that home.

Welcome to the family, Zuke. You were worth the wait. 💞"

Pet of the week series!
This is what potato's owner would like to share!
We met 🥔 after losing our best friend to the “C word” on May 5th, 2020. We were completely 💔 and so lost without him. But our search for healing didn’t last long—because that’s when this little ☄️ of joy came into our lives, thanks to Under the Willow Rescue.

Potato came home with us on May 28th, 2020, and it felt like he instantly knew what his job was: to help mend our 💔. He stole our 💕 from day one. The unconditional 💓💞 he gives to our whole family is something truly special. Our son didn’t just gain a best friend—he calls him his brother. (And honestly, Potato thinks he’s human too. )

His favorite things in life? Couches , cuddles , kids , and sunshine ☀️. But most of all, he demands attention from anyone lucky enough to cross his path.

He’s recovering well, though we know he misses his PiTtiE Zoooomies 🐾 and long sunbathing sessions ☀️.

Thank you so much to Dr. Z, Kris, Alex, and the entire staff at Thrive Heights! 💕 We’re so grateful for the love and care you’ve shown our sweet boy.
