🐾 **Caring for Newport’s Pets Since 1975**

For more than 50 years, Newport Animal Clinic has been part of this community, caring for generations of pets and the people who love them.

A great deal has changed since 1975, including veterinary medicine, technology, and quite a few hairstyles. One thing has not changed: pets deserve compassionate care from people who take the time to know them.

At Newport Animal Clinic, you will find familiar faces, personal attention, modern diagnostics, and a team committed to helping your pet through every stage of life, from first vaccines to senior care.

We are proud of our history, grateful for the families who trust us, and excited about the future.

🐾 Oakley Has Found Her Home! 🐾

We are happy to share that Oakley has found a loving new family.

Her new home is welcoming her strictly as a beloved companion and family pet, and plans are in place for her to be spayed. Her family is also familiar with Australian Cattle Dogs and understands the intelligence, energy, loyalty, and unique quirks that come with the breed.

Thank you to everyone who shared Oakley’s post, reached out, and helped us find the right home for her. We are grateful to see her beginning this new chapter with a family prepared to meet her needs and love her for exactly who she is.

Severe weather can happen with little warning, so having a pet emergency kit ready before you need it can make all the difference.

Keep essentials like food, medications, fresh water, veterinary records, ID tags, waste bags, a leash, and a comfortable carrier or bed in one easy-to-access location. Planning ahead helps ensure your pet stays safe if you ever need to leave home quickly.

Do you already have a pet emergency kit? Let us know what's in yours!

If your dog suddenly refuses their regular food but happily accepts treats, don't assume they're just being picky.

Dental disease, mouth pain, an upset stomach, or other underlying medical conditions can all affect a dog's appetite. Some dogs will continue eating treats because they're softer or more appealing.

If your dog refuses regular meals for more than a day, develops vomiting or diarrhea, becomes lethargic, or stops eating altogether, they should be examined by a veterinarian. If you're concerned about your dog's appetite, call us at (252) 223-5115.

"Feed me."

"Move your hand."

"You are sitting in my spot."

That's probably about as close as we'd get. 😸 If your cat could text you, what do you think their very first message would be? Share your funniest answer in the comments!

After a summer storm, the ground may look clean, but it can actually harbor increased levels of bacteria and contaminants. Standing water, damp soil, and debris can create an environment where harmful bacteria thrive, which your dog can pick up on their paws or ingest while sniffing and licking.

In addition, temperatures and humidity often remain high after rain, making it harder for dogs to cool themselves. Pavement can also stay hot enough to burn sensitive paw pads long after the rain has stopped.

Choosing cooler, drier times of the day for walks is one of the best ways to help keep your dog safe. Have questions about summer pet safety? Call us at (252) 223-5115.
