🐾 ASK THE VET - JOINT SUPPLEMENTS!🐾

There are A LOT of joint supplements on the market, so it can be difficult to know which one to choose!

One product we commonly recommend is Cosequin, which contains ingredients such as glucosamine and chondroitin that support cartilage and overall joint health. We especially like it as an option for dogs who are at increased risk for joint disease or who are beginning to show early signs of stiffness or discomfort.

While joint supplements cannot prevent genetic conditions like hip dysplasia or guarantee that a dog will avoid arthritis, starting joint support early may be beneficial, particularly for dogs who are predisposed to joint problems. Your veterinarian can help determine when supplementation makes sense for your dog.

Most importantly, supplements are only one piece of the puzzle!

⚖️ Keep your dog lean. Maintaining an ideal body weight is one of the most important things you can do to reduce stress on the joints and support long-term joint health.

🏃 Provide regular, appropriate exercise. Keeping muscles strong helps support healthy joints.

🩺 Monitor for changes. Stiffness, difficulty getting up, reluctance to exercise, limping, or changes in gait can be signs of joint disease and should be discussed with your veterinarian.

💊 Consider joint supplementation early. Breeds predisposed to hip and joint problems may benefit from starting a joint supplement before significant arthritis develops. Your veterinarian can help determine when supplementation makes sense and which product is appropriate.

And remember: a joint supplement cannot prevent a genetic condition like hip dysplasia. But supporting healthy joints, maintaining a healthy weight, and identifying problems early can all help your dog stay comfortable and active for as long as possible.

🐾 Our go-to? Cosequin is a great place to start — but the best joint-health plan is one tailored to your individual dog!

October is National Pet Wellness Month and a great reminder to check in on your pet's overall health. Pay special attention to nutrition, exercise, year-round protection, and mental stimulation, as they all play an important role in your pet's well-being. ��

Even if your pet seems fine, everyday activities can expose them to parasites and disease. Year-round protection helps reduce those risks and can prevent more serious health problems down the road. If you'd like personalized guidance for your pet's unique needs, you're always welcome to schedule a wellness visit at our clinic.

🐾 ASK THE VET - What's wrong with rawhide? 🐾

First, rawhide isn't inherently toxic, but it's a chew we don't recommend. Traditional rawhide can be difficult to digest, and as a dog chews, it can break into pieces that may be swallowed. Large pieces can create a risk of choking or gastrointestinal obstruction (see photos -- this patient swallowed her rawhide whole & it had to be surgically removed!)

🐷 So what about pork hide?

"Pork hide" simply tells you what animal the skin came from — it doesn't necessarily tell you how the product was processed or how digestible it will be.

Some pork-skin products are processed differently and may be more digestible than traditional rawhide. However, more digestible doesn't mean risk-free, and we would still consider it a risk for choking or gastrointestinal obstruction if accidentally ingested in a large piece.

Instead, for dogs who love to chew, we prefer durable, appropriately sized chew toys. KONG toys and certain Nylabone products can be good options, depending on your dog's size and chewing style. However, even these products aren't completely risk-free and can be damaged or broken apart by determined chewers.

A few things to remember:

✔️ Choose a chew appropriate for your dog's size and chewing strength.

✔️ Supervise chewing, especially with a new product.

✔️ Replace toys when they become damaged, significantly worn down, or small enough to swallow.

✔️ Avoid extremely hard objects that cannot bend or give at all, as these can potentially fracture teeth (antlers).

And remember: no chew is completely risk-free! The goal is to choose an option that provides enrichment while minimizing the risk of broken teeth, choking, or GI obstruction.

🐾 Bottom line: Rawhide and pork hide aren't necessarily poisonous, but there are safer and more predictable options for satisfying your dog's need to chew.

🐾 ASK THE VET - Does my indoor pet really need flea & tick prevention? 🐾

We received a great question: How important is flea and tick prevention for pets that stay indoors and don't travel much?

Our recommendation? Flea and tick prevention for every pet, year-round — even indoor-only pets! 🐶🐱

“But my pet never goes outside!”

We hear this all the time, and we understand why! But being indoors doesn't mean your pet has zero exposure.

🦟 Fleas can hitch a ride indoors on people, other pets, clothing, shoes, or other objects. Once a few fleas make their way inside, they can quickly establish an infestation in your home.

"Fleas can't get into my yard! It has a fence."

Wildlife don't always respect our fences! Animals such as raccoons, opossums, and other wildlife can enter your yard and may carry fleas with them.

The good news? Preventing an infestation is much easier than treating one!

That's why we recommend keeping ALL dogs and cats in the household on an appropriate flea & tick preventive throughout the year — even pets that spend most or all of their time indoors.

"Even in the winter?!"

Yes! Here in Kansas, winter doesn't necessarily mean your pets won't be exposed to fleas. Fleas can survive and reproduce in the home, even when it's cold outside. Furthermore, Kansas weather can have plenty of mild days throughout winter, giving fleas the opportunity to continue outdoor infestations as well. In fact, we often see significant flea infestations during the winter, when many owners aren't expecting them!

🐾 Bottom line: Indoor pets have a lower risk of exposure, but they don't have ZERO risk. Year-round prevention helps keep your pets — and your home — protected.

🥣 October is Pet Wellness Month! 🐾

Did you know that maintaining a healthy weight is one of the best ways to help your pet live a longer, healthier life?

Proper nutrition and a healthy body condition can help reduce the risk of:
🐶 Joint disease and arthritis
❤️ Heart disease
🍬 Diabetes
🩺 High blood pressure
⚡ Reduced energy and mobility

Every pet has unique nutritional needs based on their age, breed, activity level, and overall health. Feeding the right food in the right amount—and limiting extra treats—can make a big difference.

Not sure if your pet is at an ideal weight? During a wellness exam, we can evaluate their body condition, discuss their diet, and recommend a nutrition plan that's tailored specifically to them.

Small changes today can lead to healthier tomorrows.

📞 Schedule your pet's wellness exam this October and let's work together to keep them happy, healthy, and thriving!
