Did you know that socializing your pet is key to their happiness and well-being? Regular socialization helps reduce anxiety, builds confidence, and promotes better behavior around people and other animals.

Whether it's meeting new furry friends at the dog park or exploring new environments on a walk, socializing keeps your pet healthy and happy. Start slow, reward positive interactions, and always make it a fun experience for them!

Have any questions about your pet's socialization? We’re here to help at Sequoyah Animal Hospital!

🌟 Happy Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week! 🌟

This week, we’re celebrating our incredible veterinary technicians and the entire team at Sequoyah Animal Hospital. 💚

Our vet techs work tirelessly to provide compassionate care to every patient, and we couldn’t do what we do without their dedication, skill, and heart.

But it truly takes everyone — from our reception team to our assistants, technicians, kennel attendants, and doctors — to keep our hospital running smoothly and ensure our patients receive the best care possible. 🐾

Thank you to our amazing Sequoyah family for everything you do each and every day! 🐱🐶

🐾 October is Pet Obesity Awareness Month! 🐾

Over 50% of cats and dogs are overweight, leading to diabetes, joint pain, and other serious health issues. The good news? It's preventable!

Watch for: Tiredness during walks/play, difficulty jumping, or no visible waist from above.
Quick Check: You should easily feel your pet's ribs without pressing hard.
Get Moving: Just 10-15 minutes of daily walks for dogs or interactive play for cats makes a difference.
When to See Us: If you notice weight gain, breathing changes, or mobility issues. Remember - treats should only be 10% of daily calories!

Let's keep our furry family members healthy! 💙
