Dehydration can sneak up on pets faster than many people realize, especially during hot weather or when they’ve been vomiting or having diarrhea. ☀️🐶 Common signs to watch for include dry or sticky gums, tiredness, sunken eyes, a decreased appetite, heavy panting, and skin that doesn’t bounce back quickly when gently lifted.

If your pet seems off, isn’t drinking well, or is showing several of these signs, it’s a good idea to have them checked sooner rather than later.

Not all store-bought bones are safe for dogs. 🦴 Some are hard enough to crack teeth or cause choking, stomach upset, or blockages. When choosing a chew, look for one that matches your dog’s size and chewing style, and avoid anything too hard or easy to swallow. Not sure which chews are safest? We’re here to help, call us at (308) 234-2617 for our vets’ recommendations.

Sphynx cats may be known for their unique hairless look, but there’s much more to this breed than appearance alone. 🐱 Because they lack a normal fur coat, Sphynx cats often need a little extra help with skin care, warmth, and routine hygiene. Their skin can collect oils more easily, and they may be more sensitive to sun exposure and cold temperatures than other cats.

Dog parks can be fun, but they’re not risk-free. Before you go, make sure your dog is up to date on vaccines and parasite prevention. Once there, watch for signs of stress like stiff posture, staring, or rough play. Bring water, supervise closely, and don’t be afraid to leave if your dog seems overwhelmed. A safe visit is always better than a stressful one.

Questions about whether the dog park is a good fit for your pet? Call (308) 234-2617.

Sticks may seem harmless, but they can actually pose a risk to dogs. 🐶🪵Chewing on sticks can lead to splinters in the mouth, injuries to the gums, choking, and even pieces getting stuck in the throat or digestive tract. Some dogs may also injure their teeth from biting down on hard wood. If your dog loves to chew or carry sticks outside, it’s a good idea to redirect them to safer alternatives like durable chew toys or pet-safe fetch toys.

If your pet has trouble chewing, is pawing at the mouth, drooling more than usual, or seems painful after playing with a stick, it’s best to have them checked. Call (308) 234-2617 if you’re concerned.

We’ll help you pick the right plan for your pet’s age, lifestyle, and local risk so they stay protected year-round.
