Don’t forget… Daylight Savings Time ended overnight, making our clocks “fall back” an hour!

Pets are accustomed to regular feeding, walking, and play times, so when the time changes and their schedules are shifted by an hour, it can cause some confusion and behavioral reactions like food anxiety, restlessness, or waking earlier than usual.

Be patient! Your pets don’t know how to read clocks, so it may take them a few days to adjust to the new normal.

🎃👻 Halloween scares are fun. Veterinary emergencies? Not so much.

Between the costumes, decorations, and constant doorbell ringing, Halloween brings more than just candy-related hazards for our four-legged family members! 🐾

From curious cats getting tangled in decorations to dogs sneaking out during trick-or-treating, even the smallest holiday hazards can turn into unexpected emergencies.

🕸️ Before the Halloween festivities begin:

* Keep decorations, ribbons, and electrical cords out of reach.
* Choose costumes that are comfortable, safe, and stress-free.
* Secure pets away from frequently opened doors.
* Double-check collars, ID tags, and microchip information.
* Keep candy and other Halloween treats away from curious paws!

Swipe through for a few Halloween safety reminders to help keep your pets out of the ER! ➡️

🚨 Accidents can happen, even with the best precautions. If your pet gets into something they shouldn’t, is injured, or begins acting unusually, don’t wait to seek veterinary guidance.

❤️🖤 EPIC Vets is here for you 24/7, including Halloween!

Some goodbyes leave paw prints on our hearts forever. 🐾

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the most difficult moments a family can face. When that time comes at EPIC, we want their final moments—and the memories you take home with you—to be treated with compassion and care.

Upon request, our team can create ink paw and nose prints after euthanasia, giving families a small but deeply personal piece of their pet to keep. Each print is uniquely theirs—from the shape of their paw pads to the tiny details of their nose. ❤️

For families looking for another way to memorialize their pet, Miss Megan Studio creates custom hand-painted pet portraits from your favorite photos. Information is available in our lobby, or you can learn more at missmeganstudio.com.

Because sometimes the smallest details become the ones we treasure most.

Parvovirus is a highly contagious virus that primarily affects younger pets due to their weaker immune systems. Dogs can contract parvo by sniffing, licking, or ingesting infected f***s, contaminated objects, or even by coming into contact with shoes or clothing that have been in contact with the virus.

If your dog is experiencing severe vomiting, diarrhea (often bloody), dehydration, or showing signs of a weakened immune system, they may have contracted the virus.

Don’t wait! Give us a call in case of emergency. We are trained and equipped to handle cases large or small: 951-695-5044.

Sometimes a good chew turns into an unexpected trip to the ER. 🦴😬

This pup came to EPIC with a bone lodged around his lower jaw. The circular piece had become trapped behind his canine teeth, leaving him unable to remove it on his own.

To keep him safe and comfortable, our team used sedation while carefully removing the bone. Thankfully, it came off successfully.

While bones may seem like a natural treat for dogs, they aren’t without risk. They can become lodged around the jaw or in the mouth, break teeth, cause choking, or become foreign bodies within the gastrointestinal tract.

🦴 If something becomes stuck in your pet’s mouth or around their jaw, don’t try to forcefully remove it at home. A painful or frightened pet may bite, and attempting removal can cause additional injury. Contact your veterinarian or an emergency hospital for help.

Chocolate might be a treat for us, but for our dogs, it can become an emergency. 🍫🐾

Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, two substances dogs metabolize much more slowly than humans. Depending on the type and amount of chocolate eaten and the size of the dog, ingestion can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, restlessness, a rapid heart rate, tremors, seizures, and other serious complications.

And not all chocolate carries the same risk—the darker and more concentrated the chocolate, the greater the potential toxicity.

Swipe through to learn what makes chocolate dangerous, signs of toxicity to watch for, and what to do if your dog gets into the chocolate stash.

🚨 If your pet eats chocolate, don’t wait for symptoms to appear. Contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary hospital as soon as possible. Having the type of chocolate, approximate amount eaten, your pet’s weight, and estimated time of ingestion can help determine the level of concern.
