September is Su***de Awareness Month 🤲

Did you know? 💡
Studies show that veterinarians and veterinary staff face a higher risk of su***de compared to the general population—due to long hours, financial pressures, the emotional toll of patient care, the weight of difficult decisions, and compassion fatigue.

Veterinary medicine is a career built on compassion, but it can also come with incredible emotional strain.
This month, and every month, we want to remind our colleagues, clients, and community: It’s okay to not be okay.

If you’re struggling, please reach out. You are not alone, and there is always someone who will listen. 💛

📞 988 Su***de and Crisis Lifeline – Call or Text 988
💬 Crisis Text Line – Text HOME to 741741
🌐 Veterinary-Specific Support – Not One More Vet (NOMV.org)

Let’s work together to break the stigma around mental health. Be kind to one another, check in on your friends, and remember—small acts of compassion can make a big difference. 🐾💙

🦟 Protect Your Pets from Heartworms – All Year Round! 🐶🐱

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition caused by parasitic worms spread through mosquito bites. It affects both dogs and cats — even indoor pets aren’t safe!

💡 Why Prevention Matters:
• Heartworm disease is expensive and difficult to treat.
• Prevention is safe, easy, and affordable.
• Mosquitoes can bite any time of year, especially in warmer climates.

✅ Keep your pet protected:
✔️ Monthly heartworm prevention medication
✔️ Annual testing by your veterinarian
✔️ Consistent dosing – don’t skip a month!

🐾 A little prevention goes a long way to ensure a lifetime of tail wags and purrs.
