Day 12 of our 12 Days of Pet Health: Start the New Year Right

A fresh year is the perfect time to set your pet up for a healthy start. Preventive care helps catch issues early, supports long term wellness, and keeps your pet feeling their best. Here are a few ways to begin the new year on the right paw:

🚑 Schedule a wellness exam: Regular checkups help monitor your pet’s overall health and catch small concerns before they become bigger ones.

👅 Plan a dental checkup: Dental health affects more than just fresh breath. A dental exam can help prevent discomfort and support whole body wellness.

💉 Consider preventive screenings: Bloodwork, parasite testing, and age appropriate screenings give a clear picture of your pet’s health and help guide personalized care.

Starting the new year with proactive care is a simple way to keep your pet happy, healthy, and by your side for years to come.

Day 11 of our 12 Days of Pet Health: Year End Medication Check

As the year winds down, it is a great time to make sure your pet is up to date on the medications that keep them healthy and protected. A quick review now can help avoid any gaps in care during the busy holiday season. Here are a few things to check:

💊Keep medications on hand: This time of year gets busy, so it is helpful to check that you have the next doses of your pet’s medications ready.

🐜Keep flea and tick protection going: Parasites are still active in many areas through winter, so staying consistent is important.

❤Continue heartworm prevention: Heartworm preventives should be given year round. Now is a good time to confirm you have doses ready heading into the new year.

Our home delivery and in-hospital pharmacy make it easy to stay on track. If you need refills or have questions about your pet’s medications, our team is here to help.

Day 10 of our 12 Days of Pet Health: New Puppy or Kitten?

Bringing home a new puppy or kitten is such an exciting moment. A little preparation before their first veterinary visit helps set them up for a healthy, happy start. Here is what to bring and what to expect:

📄 Any previous records: If your pet came from a breeder, rescue, or shelter, bring any vaccination or health paperwork you received.

🍗 Favorite treats: Treats help make the visit positive and relaxing, especially for shy or wiggly little ones.

🐻 Comfort items: A blanket, small toy, or familiar carrier can make the first trip feel less overwhelming.

❓ Your questions: Write down anything you want to ask about nutrition, training, vaccines, behavior, or daily
care. This visit is your chance to get support and guidance tailored to your new family member.

A thoughtful first visit sets the foundation for lifelong health and confidence.

🎄🐾 Holiday Cheer Comes With Hidden Pet Hazards 🐾🎄

The holidays are full of fun — but they can also bring extra risks for our pets. From chocolate and fatty foods to decorations, cords, and open flames, many seasonal items can be dangerous if curious paws get involved.

A little prevention goes a long way! Keep tempting treats out of reach, secure decorations and cords, watch candles closely, and be mindful of trash and leftovers.

Let’s keep the holidays joyful and safe for our furry family members. ❤️🐶🐱

Day 9 of our 12 Days of Pet Health: Winter Comfort for Senior Pets

Cold weather can be especially tough on senior pets. A few small adjustments can help keep older dogs and cats comfortable, mobile, and happy throughout the winter season. Here are simple ways to support them:

❤️ Create warm resting spots: Provide soft bedding away from drafts. Pet safe warming pads or extra blankets can help soothe stiff joints.

🐾 Support mobility: Place rugs on slippery floors, use ramps or stairs for furniture, and keep pathways clear to make moving around easier.

💊 Consider joint comfort: Many senior pets benefit from gentle exercise, weight management, and supplements that support joint health. If you are wondering what might help your pet, we are always here to guide you.

A little extra care goes a long way in helping senior pets feel their best this winter.

Day 8 of our 12 Days of Pet Health: Fireplaces, Candles and Space Heaters

Cozy season is here, but warm holiday comforts can also pose risks for curious pets. A few simple steps can help keep your home safe and peaceful. Here are key safety tips to keep in mind:

🔥 Use screens or guards for fireplaces: Pets may be drawn to the warmth or movement of flames. A sturdy fireplace screen helps prevent burns and keeps sparks contained.

🕯️ Place candles out of reach: A wagging tail or playful swipe can easily knock over an open flame. Choose high shelves or consider flameless candles for a safer glow.

🔥 Be cautious with space heaters: Keep heaters on a flat surface and create a clear zone around them. Always supervise pets near heated areas and unplug heaters when not in use.

Creating a safe, warm environment keeps the season cozy for the whole family.

Day 7 of our 12 Days of Pet Health: Holiday Travel Tips for Pets

Whether you are driving across town or heading out for a longer trip, a little preparation can help your pet travel safely and comfortably during the holidays. Here are a few simple travel tips:

🚗 Prioritize car safety: Pets should be secured with a seat belt harness, travel carrier, or crate. This keeps them safe and prevents distractions while driving.
🛄 Choose the right carrier: Carriers should be well ventilated, large enough for your pet to stand and turn around, and positioned securely in the car. Let your pet explore the carrier at home first to help them feel more at ease.
😌 Use calming techniques: Bring familiar items like a blanket or favorite toy. Soft music, gentle reassurance, and maintaining a calm environment can help reduce stress. If your pet experiences motion sickness or anxiety, give us a call before your trip for guidance.

A smooth, safe ride helps make holiday travel enjoyable for both you and your pet.
