Is your pet extra itchy lately? 🐾

If you’ve noticed scratching, licking, chewing at their paws, red or irritated skin, recurring ear issues, hair loss, or other skin changes, allergies could be the culprit!

Just like people, pets can struggle with environmental, seasonal, or food-related allergies, and Arizona’s dust, pollen, and dry weather certainly don’t make things any easier! 🌵

The good news is you don’t have to let your pet stay uncomfortable. Our three doctors are here to help determine what may be causing the problem and discuss treatment options to get your pet feeling better!

If you think your pet may be dealing with allergies, give us a call today to schedule an appointment with one of our doctors! 💛

🐾 A little bit of everything at Urban lately! 🐾

We’ve had such a fun mix of patients coming through the clinic recently, from guinea pigs and goats to piggies, chickens, puppies, and everything in between. 💛

One of our favorite parts of mixed animal medicine is never quite knowing what the day will bring. Whether they have paws, hooves, feathers, or tiny little feet, we love getting to care for so many different species and getting to know the families who love them!

Here are just a few of the adorable faces we’ve had the pleasure of seeing lately! 🐶🐷🐐🐹

🐝 Happy World Honey Bee Day! 🍯🌼

Today we’re celebrating some of the smallest but hardest working members of our agricultural community: honey bees!

Honey bees play an essential role in pollinating crops, supporting healthy ecosystems, and keeping gardens and farms thriving. Behind every healthy hive is an entire colony working together, and just like the other animals we care for, honey bees can face health challenges that sometimes require veterinary support.

We’re proud that Dr.Frazier provides veterinary care for honey bee colonies here at Urban Veterinary Services!

From backyard hobby hives to larger commercial colonies, Dr. Frazier can assist beekeepers with colony wellness, diagnostic recommendations, preventative health management, treatment options, and establishing a Veterinarian Client Patient Relationship when veterinary care or prescription medications are needed.

Veterinary care for honey bees is still a specialized and less commonly available service, and we’re excited to be able to support our local beekeeping community while helping protect these incredibly important pollinators. 🐝💛

Today is the perfect day to appreciate the bees in your garden, support local beekeepers, plant something pollinator friendly, or maybe even learn a little more about what goes on inside a hive!
Have questions about the health of your colony or interested in establishing care with Dr. Frazier? Give our team a call!

We are so thankful for everything he does for our team, our clients, and our patients. We hope today includes a little less work, a lot more fun, and maybe even a chance to relax for once. 😂

💚 A Bittersweet Goodbye to Miss Clarissa! 🐾

After two wonderful years with Urban Veterinary Services, Miss Clarissa is heading back home to be closer to family and to continue pursuing her dream of becoming a veterinarian. 🩺🐾

Over the past two years, Clarissa has been our fun, outgoing, music-loving, bird-watching, endlessly optimistic technician who brings a little extra personality wherever she goes. So many of our clients have had the opportunity to work with her, and we know just how many of you, and your pets, have grown to love her too.

We have watched Clarissa grow tremendously during her time with us. From building her confidence and skills with large animals to becoming stronger and more experienced in surgery, she has never stopped learning, asking questions, and working toward the veterinarian she hopes to become someday.

But there is so much more to Clarissa than veterinary medicine. 😂 We'll miss hearing about her latest true-crime obsession, her adventures learning Spanish, her somehow-enjoyable long-distance runs, her love of music, bird watching, and, of course, her chai tea lattes. ☕️

Clarissa, we are incredibly proud of how much you've grown, and while we are so sad to see you go, we are excited to see where this next chapter takes you. We hope you enjoy being closer to your family, all the greenery, experiencing FOUR actual seasons 😂, and every part of this new adventure.

And who knows… maybe someday we'll get lucky enough to welcome you back through Urban's doors, only next time as Dr. Clarissa! 🥹🩺💚

Thank you for the last two years, for loving our patients, caring for our clients, making us laugh, and becoming such an important part of the Urban family.

We will miss you so much, Clarissa! We are cheering you on every step of the way. Go chase that DVM! 🐶🐱🐴🐮🐐❤️

August is Itchy Pet Awareness Month! 🐾

While an occasional scratch is normal, constant itching, licking, chewing, or rubbing can be a sign that something more is going on!

Pets cannot tell us when their skin is uncomfortable, but they often show us through behaviors such as:
🐾 Excessive scratching or licking
🐾 Chewing at their feet or legs
🐾 Red, irritated, or flaky skin
🐾 Hair loss or thinning fur
🐾 Frequent head shaking
🐾 Recurring ear infections
🐾 Rubbing their face on furniture or the floor
🐾 Hot spots, scabs, or sores

Itchy skin can have many different causes, including fleas, mites, environmental allergies, food sensitivities, bacterial infections, yeast infections, or other underlying health concerns.
Because several conditions can look very similar, treating the itching without identifying the cause may only provide temporary relief.

Persistent itching can also damage the skin and lead to painful secondary infections. The sooner the underlying problem is addressed, the sooner we can help your pet feel comfortable again!

Throughout Itchy Pet Awareness Month, pay attention to how often your pet is scratching, licking, or chewing. If it seems excessive or is interfering with their comfort, sleep, or normal routine, it may be time to schedule an exam.

Our team is here to help identify the cause of your pet’s itching and discuss a treatment plan based on their individual needs!
