🎃👻 HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🐾

While we're all thinking about ghosts, ghouls, and goblins, let's not forget about keeping our four-legged friends safe from some of the real Halloween horrors!

🍬 Candy catastrophes: Chocolate, xylitol-containing sweets, and other Halloween treats can be dangerous for pets. Keep that candy stash out of reach!

🦇 Costume chaos: Your dog might look adorable dressed as a tiny vampire, but costumes that restrict movement, interfere with vision, or cause stress are a big NOPE!

👻 Spooky surprises: Scary decorations, flashing lights, strange noises, and crowds of trick-or-treaters can be overwhelming for pets. And guess what? Your dog doesn't have to go trick-or-treating with you! They might be much happier hanging out at home.

🚪 Doorbell madness: With trick-or-treaters coming and going, make sure your pets are safely secured so nobody makes a surprise escape!

Halloween should be full of treats, not emergency vet visits! Keep the candy away, skip the stressful costumes, and let your pets enjoy the holiday in whatever way makes them feel safest. 🧡🐶🐱

Have a happy, spooky, and SAFE Halloween! 🎃

🐶🍽️ Does your puppy act like they haven't eaten a single meal in their ENTIRE life?

Jumping, bouncing, spinning in circles, practically body-slamming you while you're just trying to put their food bowl down… and then they knock the food bowl over and there’s food all over the floor. 🐾

It's pretty cute when they're tiny, but that excitement gets a lot less adorable when they're 70 pounds and launching themselves at you every mealtime.

With a little patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, you can teach your puppy to stay calm and wait patiently for their food, turning mealtime madness into a much calmer routine.

Here's how to teach your puppy some mealtime manners so you can finally put that food bowl down without getting tackled! 🦴

💙🐾 HAPPY VETERINARY TECHNICIAN APPRECIATION WEEK! 🩺

This week, we’re celebrating the veterinary technicians who dedicate their careers to caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. Vet techs are educated, highly skilled medical professionals who do so much more behind the scenes than most pet owners ever get to see.

They’re drawing blood, placing IV catheters, administering medication, running lab work, taking X-rays, monitoring anesthesia, performing dental cleanings, assisting in major surgeries, caring for hospitalized patients, educating pet owners, and supporting veterinarians during exams, just to name a few things. And you may even find them out on the farm helping care for our large animal friends! 🐶🐱🐴🐮

Veterinary technicians are highly skilled, incredibly compassionate, and far too often underappreciated. They advocate for patients who can’t speak for themselves and work tirelessly to keep veterinary medicine running smoothly every single day.

So this week (and every week) be kind to your vet techs and thank them for everything they do. They’re a pretty important part of keeping your pets healthy! 💙🐾

🐶🌿 Environmental allergies are incredibly common in dogs, and managing them isn't always easy!

Unfortunately, we can't cure environmental allergies, but we can help manage the symptoms and keep our dogs more comfortable. And we know firsthand how frustrating (and expensive!) allergy management can be, especially when medications and veterinary visits start adding up.

While we know how tricky allergy management can be, there are things you can do at home (other than giving oral medication) to help reduce your dog's exposure to environmental allergens! 🐾

🧹 Regularly vacuum, sweep, and clean your home to reduce dust, pollen, and other allergens.

🌬️ Consider using an air purifier to help reduce airborne allergens.

🪟 Keep windows closed during allergy season.

🛁 Keep up with regular bathing, including veterinarian-recommended medicated shampoos when appropriate, to help remove allergens from the skin and soothe irritation.

These small changes won't eliminate allergies or replace necessary medications for every dog, but they can make a difference in your dog's overall comfort!

Allergy management often takes a combination of approaches, so work with your veterinarian to find what works best for your dog! 💙

🐶🎓 First puppy lesson: SIT!

“Sit” is one of the first skills many puppies learn, and keeping training positive, simple, and rewarding can help set the stage for future training success.

Our certified dog trainer, Kristen, is showing you how to teach your puppy to sit using lots of treats, praise, and positive reinforcement. Reward your puppy when they get it right, keep training sessions short and fun, and don’t worry if it takes a little practice - they’re still learning! 🐾🦴

🍂🐶 Fall is here and so are the acorns!

While your dog may think those little nuts scattered across the yard make the perfect snack, eating acorns can cause some serious problems. Acorns contain tannins, which can irritate the digestive tract and may contribute to vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. In larger amounts, there is also concern for kidney or liver damage.

And don’t forget about the acorn itself! Swallowed whole or in large pieces, acorns can become lodged in the stomach or intestines and cause a potentially life-threatening GI obstruction.

Keep an eye on curious snackers during fall walks and backyard time, and work on a strong “leave it” or “drop it” command for dogs who love picking things up. 🍁🐾

🦠🐶 Leptospirosis can be hiding in some of your dog’s favorite places to explore.

Lepto is a bacterial disease spread through the urine of infected wildlife and other animals. Dogs can be exposed when contaminated urine makes its way into standing water, mud puddles, wet soil, ponds, streams, lakes, or even their own backyard. The bacteria can enter through the mouth, nose, eyes, or small cuts in the skin.
That means drinking from a puddle isn’t the only risk. Simply exploring contaminated wet environments can potentially lead to exposure. 🌧️🐾

Leptospirosis can cause serious kidney and liver disease and can be life-threatening, but fortunately, vaccination can help protect your dog. Talk with your veterinarian about lepto vaccination and ways to reduce your dog’s risk! 💉

🐱🐟🍽️ Does your cat turn into complete chaos the second they realize it’s mealtime?

If you’ve been following our “place” training series, it’s time to put those skills to work! Teaching your cat to go to their designated place during food prep can give them something productive to do instead of screaming, pacing, jumping on counters, or running around your feet.

Use the same skills from our first two place videos: guide them to their spot, reward them for staying there, and gradually build up the amount of time they can wait. Then start practicing while you prepare their food. 🐾

With practice and consistency, mealtime can become a whole lot calmer for everyone involved.

🐱 Is your cat itchy? More importantly… HOW itchy?

An occasional scratch or grooming session is normal for any cat, but frequent licking, scratching, hair loss, or skin lesions can be a sign that something more is going on.

Allergies are a common cause of itching in cats, but parasites like fleas and skin mites, skin infections, and other conditions can also leave your cat feeling itchy and uncomfortable.

Use our Feline Itch Scale to get a better idea of where your cat falls. If you’re noticing increased scratching, overgrooming, hair loss, or changes to their skin, talk with your veterinarian. Finding the cause is the first step toward getting your cat some relief! 😸🏥💙
