🐶💙 Today is International Blind Dog Day — a day to celebrate the incredible resilience, adaptability, and unconditional love of dogs who may have lost their sight, but never their spirit. 💙🐶

Blind dogs may navigate the world a little differently, but with the right care and a loving environment, they can live happy, full, and adventurous lives just like any other pup.

✨ Did you know?
Dogs rely on their other senses — especially smell and hearing — to adjust to vision loss remarkably well. Many pet parents say you’d never even guess their dog is blind!

Here are a few tips for caring for a blind dog:
🔉 Keep a consistent routine and layout at home.
🧸 Use toys with sounds or scents for play.
🛋️ Avoid moving furniture to help them memorize their space.
🚫 Use baby gates near stairs or unsafe areas.
🦮 Talk to your dog often to reassure and guide them.

At Aqueduct Animal Hospital, we’re here to support you and your pup through every stage of life — including managing vision loss with compassion and care. If you have questions about your dog’s eyesight or notice signs like bumping into things or hesitation in new places, don’t wait — give us a call. 👩‍⚕️🐾

📸 Today, we celebrate the bravery and beauty of blind dogs everywhere. If you have one, we’d LOVE to see a photo in the comments and hear your story!

🐱🏥 It’s National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day! 🏥🐱
Today is a great reminder that our feline friends need regular vet visits too — even if they insist they’re just fine hiding under the bed. 😼💕

Cats are masters at hiding signs of illness, so routine wellness exams are essential for catching issues early and keeping them healthy from whiskers to tail.

✔️ Annual check-ups
🦷 Dental care
🪲 Parasite prevention
🧪 Bloodwork for early detection
💉 Vaccines & weight checks

These all help your kitty live a longer, happier life!

🏡 Haven’t brought your cat in a while? You’re not alone — studies show cats see the vet far less often than dogs. Let’s change that! Your cat deserves just as much proactive care.

📞 Call Aqueduct Animal Hospital today to schedule your cat’s wellness visit — and ask us for tips on reducing stress before, during, and after their trip!

Let’s keep those purrs going strong. 🐾💗
