Happy Father's Day to the dads who:

🐾 Carry the p**p bags
🐾 Share their side of the bed
🐾 Say "we're not getting another pet" and then become the pet's favorite person

Today, we celebrate all the amazing pet dads who keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. 💙

🇺🇸 Flag Day – June 14 🇺🇸

Today we pause to recognize Flag Day and the symbol that has represented our nation's history, sacrifices, and resilience for generations.

The American flag reminds us of those who have served our country—both human and animal. Throughout history, military working dogs, service animals, and countless loyal companions have stood beside the people who dedicate their lives to protecting and serving others.

As we go about our day, we take a moment to reflect with gratitude on the freedoms we enjoy and the many individuals—and animals—who have helped make them possible.

From all of us at Powder Ridge Veterinary Hospital, we wish you a peaceful Flag Day.

❤️🤍💙🐾

Powder Ridge Post – June 2026

As our pets age, they often change in ways that are easy to miss. Dogs may slow down gradually, and cats may quietly adjust their behavior long before they show obvious signs of illness. This month, we’re focusing on two important topics: recognizing early signs of arthritis and mobility changes and understanding why senior cats are experts at hiding illness.

Recognizing Early Signs of Arthritis and Mobility Changes

Many pet owners assume slowing down is just a normal part of aging. While age-related changes are common, they are not always harmless. Arthritis and chronic pain can develop gradually, and pets often hide discomfort until it becomes significant. Watch for signs such as: difficulty getting up after resting, hesitation before stairs or jumping, slower walks or tiring more easily, limping or stiffness, especially after exercise, changes in posture or gait, irritability or reluctance to be touched, sleeping more than usual.

Dogs and cats can both develop arthritis. The earlier we identify mobility problems, the more options we have to help keep pets comfortable and active. Treatment may include acupuncture, weight management, joint supplements, anti-inflammatory medications, physical rehabilitation, and other lifestyle modifications. If you’ve noticed subtle changes in your pet’s activity level, it may be worth discussing a mobility assessment during their next visit.

Senior Cats Are Masters at Hiding Illness

Cats are remarkably good at concealing pain and disease. In the wild, appearing vulnerable can be dangerous, so many cats continue eating, sleeping, and interacting even when they are not feeling well. Some of the most common conditions we see in older cats include: Kidney disease, Hyperthyroidism, Arthritis, Dental disease, Diabetes, and High blood pressure. The challenge is that the early signs are often subtle. Drinking more water, weight loss despite a good appetite, changes in grooming habits, increased sleeping, decreased jumping or climbing, changes in litter box habits, and becoming more vocal or withdrawn.

Many owners are surprised to learn that a cat who “seems fine” may already have a medical condition developing beneath the surface. Routine exams and bloodwork are especially important for senior cats because they allow us to detect problems earlier, often before a pet appears noticeably sick.

Aging is inevitable, but untreated pain and disease don’t have to be. Early detection can make a tremendous difference in comfort, mobility, and quality of life.
