🐾 Running for a Cause & Relaxing for the Paws!

What an incredible weekend at the Satchel’s Get your Mutt Moving Fun Run! 🏃‍♀️🐕 As one of the “Top Dog“ Sponsors, we had a blast cheering on all the runners (two-legged and four-legged alike) and meeting so many members of our amazing pet community.

The highlight of our booth? Doggy Massages! 💆‍♂️🐶
We are so proud to announce that all proceeds from our massage station are going directly to support the life-saving work at Satchel’s Last Resort. Seeing those tails wag and watching the pups drift into relaxation was the best reward we could ask for.

❤️ A massive shout-out to Dr. Liv for donating her time and expertise to provide these relaxing treatments. Thanks to her, our furry friends left the event feeling refreshed and limber, all while raising money for a great cause!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to say hi, grab some swag, or treat their pup to some TLC. We’re already looking forward to the next one!

Is your dog 5 or older? It’s time for a joint health check.

Even if your dog isn’t showing signs of stiffness or discomfort, joint changes can begin early and the sooner we spot them, the better the outcome.

Annual orthopedic exams help us catch osteoarthritis early, so we can manage the disease before it starts affecting your dog’s quality of life.

📅 Book your dog’s joint health check with us today!

Did you know that nearly 40% of dogs under the age of four show radiographic signs of osteoarthritis (OA)?

Contrary to popular belief, OA isn’t just an “old dog disease”. It can affect dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. If your dog seems less active or is showing signs of discomfort, bring them in for an OA exam, as early diagnosis is key to better long-term management.

Ask us about Arthramid®, a targeted osteoarthritis treatment, at your next visit!

🐾❤️ Is your furry friend's heart skipping a beat? Don't ignore it!

If your veterinarian has detected a heart murmur in your pet, it's crucial to have them evaluated by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist. Early detection and treatment of heart disease can significantly improve your pet's quality of life and longevity.
Signs of heart disease in pets include:
• Coughing or difficulty breathing
• Reduced exercise tolerance
• Fainting or collapse
• Restlessness, especially at night
• Swollen belly
• Pale or bluish gums
• Rapid or labored breathing

Don't wait until it's too late! Give your pet the gift of heart health. Schedule an appointment with our expert cardiology team at Veterinary Specialty Center (VSC) today.
Call us at 941.893.1500 or visit our website www.vscsarasota.com to book your pet's cardiology consultation. Your furry friend's heart will thank you! ❤️🐶🐱

Osteoarthritis (OA) can cause chronic pain in dogs, but often the signs are so subtle that it’s easy to miss. Dogs are great at hiding pain, using coping mechanisms like becoming less interactive, slowing down, or avoiding activities they once enjoyed.

Behavioral changes, like fear or anxiety, can even show up before physical signs like limping or signs of stiffness.

Early detection is key to managing this progressive disease and keeping your dog comfortable and happy!

Come and see us if your dog is showing any of these signs and have a chat to us about Arthramid®.🐕🐾
