October is National Pet Wellness Month and a great reminder to check in on your pet's overall health. Pay special attention to nutrition, exercise, year-round protection, and mental stimulation, as they all play an important role in your pet's well-being. ��

Even if your pet seems fine, everyday activities can expose them to parasites and disease. Year-round protection helps reduce those risks and can prevent more serious health problems down the road. If you'd like personalized guidance for your pet's unique needs, you're always welcome to schedule a wellness visit at our clinic.

Deaf dogs are more common than most people realize, and many look and act no different than any other dog. Hearing loss can be present from birth or develop gradually with age, and certain breeds, including Dalmatians, Australian Shepherds, and some terriers, are more likely to be born at least partially deaf.

Watch for signs like not responding to their name, sleeping more deeply than usual, or startling easily. When approached with guided training and meaningful adjustments to care, you can create a safe environment where they can be happy, safe, and at peace.
