Is your pup doing the "ear tilt" or shaking their head more than usual? They might be dealing with an ear infection!

Ear infections are one of the most common issues we see in dogs, especially as the weather warms up.

Watch out for these common signs:
🐾 Excessive scratching or pawing at the ears
🐾 Constant head shaking or tilting
🐾 Redness, swelling, or an unpleasant odor
🐾 Discharge or crusting in the ear canal

If you spot any of these symptoms, skip the home remedies and let us help your furry best friend find relief! Treating infections early prevents them from getting worse or becoming chronic.

In honor of Chip your Pet Month we encourage all pet owners to get their pet microchipped! A study performed by the Human Animal Support Services found that pets with a microchip are more than THREE times as likely to be reunited with their owners. If your pet has a microchip be sure your contact information is up to date to ensure no delay in reuniting you with your furry friend.
