🐾 From Gritty to Glossy: The Power of Pet Dental Care! 🦷✨

Look at the difference a professional dental cleaning can make!

Did you know that dental disease affects the vast majority of our dogs and cats by the time they reach age three? It isn't just about bad breath—untreated plaque, tartar, and gum infection can let harmful bacteria enter the bloodstream, putting your pet’s heart, liver, and kidneys at risk.

Because our furry friends can’t tell us when their teeth hurt (and will often keep eating through the pain), regular checkups and professional cleanings are key to keeping them happy, pain-free, and by your side for years to come.

👀 Signs your pet may need a dental check:

• Persistent bad breath

• Yellow or brown tartar buildup on the teeth

• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums

• Drooling or dropping food

• Hesitation to chew on hard toys or kibble

Give your pet the healthy smile they deserve! Contact Griffith Veterinary Hospital today to schedule an oral exam.

🐾 November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month! 🧡

Behind those frosty whiskers, sweet gray muzzles, and wise, gentle eyes are hearts overflowing with love just waiting for a second chance.

While puppies and kittens often steal the spotlight, senior pets make some of the most loyal, calm, and grateful companions you could ever ask for. Best of all? They’re usually past the chaotic teething and training stages and already know how to be wonderful housemates!

Whether they’re experts at afternoon sunbeam naps, quiet couch-cuddling, or greeting you with a slow, happy tail wag, older pets prove that love doesn't have an expiration date.

Thinking about expanding your family? Consider opening your heart and home to a senior dog or cat this month. Stop by your local shelter or rescue, or give us a call to ask how our team at Griffith Veterinary Hospital supports senior pets and their golden years! 🩺❤️

🐾 November is Pet Diabetes Awareness Month! 💙

Did you know that dogs and cats can develop diabetes just like humans do? Early detection is key to helping our furry family members live long, happy, and healthy lives.

At Griffith Veterinary Hospital, we want to make sure you know what to watch out for!

Signs to Watch For:

• 💧 Excessive thirst (drinking more water than usual)

• 🚽 Frequent urination or sudden accidents in the house/litter box

• 🍽️ Weight loss despite a normal or increased appetite

• 😴 Low energy, lethargy, or weakness

• 👀 Cloudy eyes or cataracts (especially in dogs)

• 🐱 Walking flat-footed on back legs (in cats)

If you notice any of these changes in your pet, don't wait! A simple blood or urine screening can give you answers and help catch issues early.

Our team is here to provide the compassionate care your pet deserves. 🩺✨

📅 How to book a checkup:

• 📞 Call us directly at 734-728-2520

• 💻 Book online anytime via griffithvet.com

• 📍 Visit us at 36391 Ford Rd, Westland, MI

🚨 FLEA ALERT! 🚨

We have seen a high volume of fleas in the hospital this week! As the weather changes, these pesky pests are looking for warm homes—and your furry family members are the perfect target.

Please make sure your pet is fully protected with up-to-date flea and tick control products. Prevention is much easier (and happier for your pet!) than treating an active infestation.

📅 Need an update on your pet's prevention or a wellness check?
We have a few last-minute appointments available with Dr. Nick tomorrow!

📞 Call us at 734-728-2520 or schedule an appointment through our website to grab one of these open slots before they fill up! 🐾
