Pet Myth Thursday: If my pet isn’t crying, they aren’t in pain.

Not necessarily.

Dogs and cats don’t always cry, whine, or vocalize when something hurts. Pain can show up in much quieter ways, including:

• Moving less or seeming stiff
• Hesitating to jump or use stairs
• Hiding or withdrawing
• Changes in appetite or sleep
• Changes in grooming
• Irritability or unusual behavior
• Difficulty getting comfortable

Sometimes the biggest clue is simply that your pet is acting differently than usual.

If you notice a change in your pet’s normal behavior, movement, or routine, it’s worth paying attention.

💬 Has your pet ever shown pain in a way you didn’t expect?

🎃 Halloween is tomorrow! Is your pet ready for the spooky festivities?

Between the doorbell ringing, trick-or-treaters arriving, costumes, and tempting candy, Halloween can be a little overwhelming for our four-legged friends!

Before the festivities begin, here are six ways to help keep your pets safe:

🍬 Keep Halloween candy and treats out of reach.
👻 Choose comfortable costumes that don't restrict movement.
🏠 Create a quiet, comfortable space away from the excitement.
🚪 Prevent door-dashing and double-check identification.
🕯️ Keep candles, cords, and decorations safely out of reach.
💜 Know your pet's limits and let them skip the festivities if they're uncomfortable.

A little preparation can go a long way toward a safe, happy, and less stressful Halloween!

Share these tips with a fellow pet parent before tomorrow!

Pet Myth Thursday: Black cats are bad luck.

Not true.

There’s no scientific basis for the superstition that black cats bring bad luck. Researchers have explored whether coat color may be associated with certain personality traits, but that’s very different from superstition, and every cat is still an individual.

With Halloween right around the corner, it’s a good time to leave this old myth where it belongs: in the spooky stories.

Pet Myth Thursday: Pets only need parasite prevention during warm weather.

Not necessarily.

In Portland, Oregon, fleas can be a year-round concern, even when temperatures cool down. Heartworm and intestinal parasite prevention may also be recommended year-round because some parasites can affect both pets and people.

Your veterinary team can help determine the prevention plan that makes the most sense for your pet’s lifestyle, environment, and individual risk.

Do you keep your pet on parasite prevention all year?

Look who's growing like a w**d! 💛

Sweet Maisy stopped by last week for her puppy boosters, and we couldn't believe how much she's grown! Just look at that happy face!

Did you know? Most large-breed dogs reach their adult size between 12–18 months, but their physical development can continue beyond that! Some larger breeds may not reach full maturity until closer to 18–24 months. That's a lot of growing to do!

We love getting to watch our puppy patients grow up, one visit at a time.

Does anyone else feel like their puppy doubled in size overnight? Tell us in the comments!

Pet Myth Thursday: Bad breath is just a normal part of aging in pets.

Not necessarily.

Bad breath may become more noticeable as pets get older, but persistent or worsening odor shouldn’t automatically be dismissed as “just age.” It can be associated with dental disease, including plaque, tartar, gingivitis, and periodontal disease.

Older pets can also be very good at hiding oral discomfort, which makes routine dental evaluation especially important.

Have you ever noticed your pet’s breath changing as they got older?
