If you’ve ever loved and lost a pet, you know they were never just a pet — they were family. 🐾

Today, take a moment to remember your special friend. Share their name, a favorite memory, or a photo below. 🌈

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever a part of our family. 💕🐶🐱🐴

Tyler found a life long friend in Gibbi 🐾

Hey there! I’m Gibbi, a 4-year-old miniature Dachshund, and I have three very important priorities in life: being cozy, loving my people, and inspecting toys. ❤️

You can usually find me under a blanket, curled up somewhere warm, or—if I have my way—literally inside someone’s shirt. Why sleep on top of a blanket when you can burrow underneath it? And why cuddle beside someone when you can become part of their clothing? I don’t make the rules. 😂

I consider myself a serious toy enthusiast. The humans may think toys are for playing, but I know better. Every single toy requires a very thorough inspection. I need to sniff it, examine it, carry it around, and make sure it meets my extremely high standards. It’s important work.

But more than anything, I’m just a very loving little guy. ❤️ And there’s one dog I especially look up to: BB.

BB isn’t just my friend—she’s my friend, mentor, and partner in crime. I follow her lead and absolutely adore her. I think she’s pretty special, and I’m lucky to have her looking out for me.

So if you’re looking for me, check under a blanket, inside someone’s shirt, or wherever the toys are. I’m probably there. 🐾💕BB 🐾

Did you know? That constant head shaking may be more than an itchy ear.

Ear infections can cause pain, redness, odor, discharge, scratching, and frequent head shaking. Allergies, moisture, yeast, bacteria, ear anatomy, and other underlying problems can all play a role.

Skin allergies and ear infections can go hand-in-hand. If your pet is prone to skin allergies, you may need to take a look in those ears also due to the fact that the inside of the ear is lined completely with skin!

Because different causes require different treatment, repeatedly treating an ear at home without knowing what’s going on may not fix the problem.

Did you know? Pyometra is a serious uterine infection that can affect unspayed female dogs and cats, often after a heat cycle.

Some signs to watch for:
• lethargy
• decreased appetite
• vomiting
• increased thirst
• a swollen belly
• vaginal discharge — or sometimes no discharge at all

That last part is important: with a closed pyometra, there may be no visible discharge, even though your pet is very sick.

Pyometra is an emergency, so if your unspayed female pet seems “off,” don’t wait to have her checked.

It's National Potato day and I'm freaking out! This is, hands down, my spud-tacular favorite! 🥔

Meet Dino. ❤️🐾

Dino was abandoned earlier this year and has been in our care here at Metter Veterinary Clinic ever since. Somewhere along the way, this big, d***y, silly boy managed to wiggle his way right into our hearts.

Dino is curious about absolutely everything and loves checking out the world around him. But attention? That may be his very favorite thing. He absolutely soaks it up. Give him some scratches, a little love, or the chance for a good snuggle, and you've made his day.

While he's been with us, we've given Dino the works. He has been neutered, brought up to date on his vaccinations, and kept current on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Dino is heartworm positive, but he is currently undergoing treatment and is well on his way to putting that behind him.

Dino is dog-selective, so any home with another dog would need a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is comfortable.

We don't pretend to know everything about what Dino will be like once he's settled into a home of his own. What we do know is the Dino we've gotten to know here: a sweet, curious, goofy boy who loves people, loves attention, and has a whole lot of love to give.

Now we'd really like to see what he looks like leaving our clinic with his very own family. ❤️

If you think Dino might belong with you, we'd love for you to come meet him.
