Happy Fourth of July from Aqua! 🇺🇸🐾

While we enjoy the celebrations, many pets find fireworks, crowds, and loud noises stressful or scary. Help keep your furry family members safe by keeping them indoors, creating a quiet comfort zone, and making sure collars, ID tags, and microchip information are up to date. 🎆🐶🐱

Wishing you and your pets a safe, calm, and happy Independence Day! ❤️🤍💙

Happy graduation to Dr. Pate’s patient Zeppelin!
Zeppelin came to us following TPLO surgery, she was also struggling from an iliopsoas strain and hip osteoarthritis. Her rehabilitation plan was designed to address each condition while helping her recover safely!
Rehab is about more than healing after surgery. It helps rebuild strength, improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore proprioception (your dog’s mind-body connection). By improving body awareness and movement patterns, we can help reduce the risk of future injuries and support long-term comfort and function. 💙 💪 🐾

With the 4th of July around the corner, help your pets stay safe during the holiday festivities. 🎆
Keep pets safely indoors, make sure their ID tags and microchips are up to date, and create a quiet, comfortable space where they can feel secure.
If your pet needs medication to take the edge off, make sure you have enough on hand and that it isn’t expired, give yourself time to reach out to your vet if needed.

Wishing everyone a happy celebration for the USA’s 250th birthday! ❤️🤍💙
