May is Pet Asthma & Allergy Awareness Month

Just like people, our pets can suffer from asthma and environmental allergies. If you’ve noticed your dog or cat coughing, wheezing, sneezing, itching, or having difficulty breathing, it may be more than just a minor issue.

Common triggers include:

• Pollen, dust, and mold
• Smoke or strong fragrances
• Household cleaners
• Fleas or food sensitivities

For cats, asthma can appear as coughing fits or labored breathing. Dogs more often show signs like itchy skin, licking paws, ear infections, reverse sneezing, or chronic licking.

The good news? There are many ways we can help keep your pet comfortable, from allergy management plans to advanced treatments like injections, medications, diets, and even inhalers tailored to their needs.

If your pet is showing any signs of allergies or breathing trouble, don’t wait, early intervention makes a big difference.
Let’s help your pets breathe easier and live more comfortably. In Hamilton County we are very fortunate to have many allergy and dermatology specialists nearby for your pet to be referred to if needed. Call us to schedule an evaluation!

May 8th is Animal Disaster Preparedness Day

Emergencies can happen when we least expect them, but having a plan in place can make all the difference for your pets.
Just like the rest of your family, your pets rely on you to keep them safe during disasters like fires, storms, or evacuations.

Be prepared with a pet emergency kit:
• Food and water (at least 3–5 days’ supply)
• Medications and medical records
• Leash, collar, and carrier
• Comfort items (toys, blankets)
• Waste supplies (litter, bags)

Don’t forget:
• Make sure your pet’s microchip and ID tags are in place and up to date
• Keep recent photos of your pet in case you get separated
• Know where pet-friendly shelters or boarding options are located

Have an evacuation plan:
If it’s not safe for you, it’s not safe for your pet. Never leave them behind. Know where your carrier/crate/leashes are in case needed/
Taking a little time now to prepare can help keep your pets safe when it matters most. If you have questions about microchipping, travel safety, or emergency planning, our team is here to help!

May is National Arthritis Awareness Month

Did you know arthritis doesn’t just affect people? It’s incredibly common in our pets, especially as they age. In fact, many dogs and cats may be living with chronic joint pain without obvious signs.

Signs in dogs may include:
• Slowing down on walks
• Difficulty rising or climbing stairs
• Hesitation to jump or play

In cats, it’s often more subtle:
• Less jumping onto favorite spots
• Decreased grooming
• Changes in behavior or activity

The good news? We now have innovative options to help keep your pets comfortable and active longer.

Librela® (for dogs) and Solensia® (for cats) are monthly injections designed specifically to target arthritis pain at its source. These medications work by blocking nerve growth factor (NGF), a key player in osteoarthritis pain, helping improve mobility and quality of life.

• Given once monthly by your veterinary team
• No daily pills to give at home
• Designed specifically for each species (Librela for dogs, Solensia for cats)
• Can be used on their own or as part of a multimodal approach (including other therapies such as: PT, Laser therapy, NSAIDs, joint supplements, Adequan)

Many pets show improved comfort, increased activity, and a better overall quality of life with consistent treatment.
If you’ve noticed your pet slowing down or “just getting older,” arthritis could be the reason. We’re here to help!
Call us today to schedule an arthritis evaluation and talk about whether Librela or Solensia may be right for your pet!
