We had a fledgling crow decide to drop by the office today. His attentive parents were flying overhead but he kept running to our dog yard, where our boarders and day visitors play and we were afraid he would get hurt. So he was picked up by the wonderful Stuart Police Department and transported to the Treasure Coast Wildlife Center by our friends at Martin County Sheriff’s Office Animal Services.

Living in Florida means our pets deal with things most northern pets never have to think about…
🔥 hot sidewalks
🦟 mosquitoes
🐍 mystery backyard creatures
🌴 random afternoon thunderstorms
…and lizards that apparently must be chased immediately.

Did you know a single flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day? 😳

Fleas multiply fast, which is why prevention/treatment is important for both dogs and cats. Even if you only see a few adult fleas on your pet, eggs, larvae, and pupae may already be hiding in your home environment.

Common signs of fleas include:
• Excessive scratching or biting
• Hair loss or irritated skin
• Visible fleas or flea dirt
• Restlessness and discomfort

Contact our team to find the best flea prevention plan for your pet. 🩺

🕷️🐾 Staff Pet Sunday: Meet Carl! 🐾🕷️

This week’s spotlight goes to one of our tiniest (and definitely most curious) staff pets… Carl the Jumping Spider! 🖤🤍

At 2.5 years old, Carl spends his days hunting his favorite snacks — flightless fruit flies 🍽️ — enjoying gentle “showers” under his misting fan, and soaking up warm breezy weather (but not too hot… he’s a sophisticated little guy 😎). Carl’s parents are vet tech Nick and front staff/tech Kim.

Carl may be small, but he has a BIG personality! He’s incredibly curious and always watching the world around him with those adorable puppy-dog eyes jumping spiders are famous for. 👀

✨ Fun Male Jumping Spider Facts:
• Male jumping spiders are often more colorful and flashy than females because they perform tiny dance moves to impress a mate 💃🕺
• They don’t spin webs to catch prey — they actually hunt and pounce like tiny cats! 🐈
• Jumping spiders have excellent vision and can recognize movement surprisingly well 👁️
• They’re considered one of the most intelligent spider species!

We may be a little biased… but Carl is proof that even the tiniest pets can steal your heart. 🖤🕷️

🐸⚠️ Bufo Toad season is here! Also known as Cane Toads, these highly toxic toads are common in Florida and can pose a serious danger to pets. Even brief contact can become a medical emergency.

If your pet comes into contact with a Bufo Toad:
✔️ Wipe their gums and mouth with a damp towel or cloth
❌ Do NOT use a hose — it can push toxins farther down the throat
🚨 Seek veterinary care immediately

Signs of toxicity can appear within minutes and may include drooling, pawing at the mouth, red gums, stumbling, vomiting, seizures, or disorientation.

Help keep your pets safe by supervising outdoor time, especially during the evening and after rain. If you suspect exposure, contact your veterinarian or emergency animal hospital right away. 🐾

☀️🐾 Heat Safety Reminder for Your Pets 🐾☀️

Florida temperatures can rise quickly, and our furry friends are at risk for heat exhaustion and heatstroke before we realize it. Keep your pets safe this season by remembering these important tips:

💧 Always provide fresh water and shade
🚗 Never leave pets in a parked car — even for a minute
🐕 Limit outdoor exercise during the hottest parts of the day
🌡️ Be mindful of humidity and overheating
🐾 Check pavement temperatures before walks

If your pet is excessively panting, drooling, weak, vomiting, or seems lethargic, contact your veterinarian immediately or seek the nearest pet emergency hospital.

Stay cool, stay safe, and give your pets some extra love this summer! 🐶🐱

✨ Staff Pet Sunday ✨

Meet Mimi — lovingly known as “Nini” by Amy’s daughter. 💕

Nini is a professional cuddle puddle expert, can “speak,” gives paw for her favorite treat (popcorn 🍿🤣), and has the sweetest soul. She became Amy’s emotional support animal after a traumatic injury and stayed faithfully by her side in bed every single day until Amy recovered. ❤️

We’re so excited to feature Mimi and officially welcome her mama, Amy, our newest tech, to our clinic family!
