🌼 Seasonal allergies are here—and our pets feel them too! 🐾

Looking for a natural way to help? Pineapple 🍍 contains bromelain, an enzyme that may help support your pet’s response to histamines and ease some allergy discomfort.

✅ Tip: Fresh pineapple is best—skip canned (it’s high in sugar). Remove the skin and core, and offer small, bite-sized pieces as an occasional treat. As always, introduce new foods slowly and in moderation.

Every pet is different, and allergies can show up in a variety of ways. If you’re noticing symptoms or have questions about what’s best for your animal, Dr. Christine is always here as a resource for you. Whether you’re looking for natural support options or a complete and balanced nutrition plan! Learn more or connect with us at www.vipsvet.net 🐶🐱

🐾 Myth of the Month: Essential oils are toxic to dogs and cats

Not exactly! 👀

Essential oils aren’t automatically harmful—it all comes down to quality and how they’re used. ✅ Look for trusted brands like Young Living, doTERRA, or AnimalEO.

Some oils like 🌿 lavender, 🌼 chamomile, and frankincense can even help promote calm in pets when used properly.

Did you know that sound can be healing — even for our pets? 🐾✨
A weighted tuning fork set at 128 Hz provides gentle vibrational therapy that travels through the skin and into the deeper tissues. When applied to key areas like the spine and joints, it can:

Boost circulation – helping oxygen and nutrients flow more efficiently. 💨🩸

Ease discomfort – soothing vibrations reduce pain signals and encourage relaxation. 🧘‍♂️😌

Support mobility – improved blood flow and decreased tension often mean easier movement and greater comfort. 🐕🦴
This non-invasive therapy offers a calming, restorative option for pets dealing with stiffness, chronic pain, or age-related changes. Think of it as a “sound massage” that helps healing begin from the inside out. 🎶👐
👉 Dr. Christine now offers sound therapy sessions for pets and is accepting new clients! Book today to help your furry friend feel their best. 🩺🔔 www.vipsvet.net

🐾 🐾 VIPsvet Pet of the Month: Chip! 🐾

Meet Chip, a sweet 14-year-old cocker spaniel, bichon, and Shih Tzu mix who has truly blossomed under Dr. Christine’s care 💙 His owner, Shelly, says Chip’s health has improved so much since switching to a plan that works better for him, and she only wishes they had made the change sooner.

Shelly shared that Chip’s homemade meals cost about $3.62 per day, compared to $6.58 per day before — a big savings, along with a happier, healthier routine. It takes a little prep each week, but she says it’s well worth it ✨

Chip’s story is a wonderful example of what personalized care can do for a pet’s quality of life.

Not all storm anxiety looks the same. While some pets shake or hide, others may show less obvious signs of stress 🌩️

Watch for these subtle clues:

Excessive yawning or lip licking

Restlessness or inability to settle

Following you more than usual 🐶

Sudden disinterest in toys or food

Recognizing early signs of anxiety helps you step in sooner and provide comfort before it escalates 💛

If you’re unsure whether your pet’s behavior is storm-related or something else, Dr. Christine is happy to help you figure it out.

Storm anxiety doesn’t always start during the storm—it can build before it even arrives ⛈️ Many pets pick up on changes in pressure, smell, and energy long before we hear thunder.

Try getting ahead of the storm:

Take your dog out earlier than usual before rain begins 🐾

Feed meals or treats before the storm to avoid skipped eating 🍽️

Set up their comfort space in advance so it’s ready when they need it 🛏️

Keep an eye on forecasts so you’re not caught off guard 📱

A little anticipation can go a long way in keeping your pet comfortable and settled.

If your pet seems to sense storms early and becomes anxious, Dr. Christine can help you create a proactive plan!
