🐾✂️ Nail Trimming: Why Long Nails Can Cause Pain 🐾✂️

At Southern California Veterinary Hospital, we often see pets with nails that are longer than they should be—and it’s more than just a cosmetic issue. Long nails can actually cause pain, discomfort, and long-term health problems for your furry friend. 😿🐶

Here’s why keeping nails properly trimmed is so important:
🔹 Altered Gait & Joint Stress — When nails grow too long, pets adjust the way they walk. Over time, this can lead to strain on their joints, muscles, and even their spine.
🔹 Pain & Discomfort — Long nails can curl, split, or grow into the paw pads, causing sharp pain and sometimes infection.
🔹 Risk of Injury — Pets with long nails are more likely to snag or break a nail, which can be painful and require veterinary care.
🔹 Behavioral Changes — Discomfort from overgrown nails can lead to irritability, reluctance to play, or decreased activity levels.

Regular nail trims, whether done at home or by a professional, keep paws healthy, prevent pain, and allow your pet to move comfortably and confidently. 🐾💙

If your pet’s nails have gotten too long or you’re unsure how to trim them safely, schedule a visit with us! Healthy nails = happy paws. ✨

🐾 November 11th is National Pets for Veterans Day! 🐾

At Southern California Veterinary Hospital, we’re honoring the incredible bond between veterans and the companion animals who bring them comfort, healing, and unconditional love. 💙

Here’s how pets make a difference for veterans:
🔹 Emotional Support — Pets offer comfort and companionship that can ease stress, anxiety, and loneliness.
🔹 Healing & Purpose — Caring for an animal encourages routine, responsibility, and connection.

❤️🐾 The Importance of Heartworm Testing 🐾❤️

At Southern California Veterinary Hospital, we know that protecting your pet’s heart means protecting their whole health. One of the most important steps in doing that is regular heartworm testing—even if your pet seems perfectly healthy. 🩺

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition caused by parasitic worms transmitted through mosquito bites. Once infected, the worms grow and live in the heart, lungs, and blood vessels, leading to severe organ damage if left untreated. 😢

Here’s why routine heartworm testing is so important:
🔹 Early Detection Saves Lives — The sooner heartworms are found, the better the outcome. Early-stage infections are much easier (and safer) to treat.
🔹 Prevention Needs Monitoring — Even pets on heartworm prevention should be tested annually—no medication is 100% foolproof, and missing just one dose can put your pet at risk.
🔹 Hidden Threats — Heartworm disease often shows no signs until it’s advanced. Regular testing ensures we catch it before symptoms appear.

Testing is simple, quick, and can be done during your pet’s regular wellness visit. A few drops of blood are all it takes to give you peace of mind and your pet a healthier, longer life. 💕

Protect your pet’s heart—schedule their annual heartworm test today!

🐾🐶 Breed Spotlight: Afghan Hound 🐶🐾

At Southern California Veterinary Hospital, we love celebrating the unique traits and elegance of every breed—and today, our spotlight is on the Afghan Hound! ✨💙

Afghan Hounds are known for their long, flowing coats, regal appearance, and independent spirit. Originally bred for hunting in the mountains of Afghanistan, they combine speed, agility, and intelligence with a distinctive elegance that turns heads wherever they go. 🏔️🐾

Here’s what makes Afghan Hounds special:
🔹 Elegant & Graceful — Their silky, flowing coat and striking appearance make them stand out in any crowd. Regular grooming is essential to keep their coat healthy and tangle-free.
🔹 Independent & Intelligent — Afghan Hounds have a strong sense of independence, but with patience and positive reinforcement, they thrive in training and socialization.
🔹 Energetic & Athletic — These dogs love to run and explore. Daily exercise and opportunities to stretch their legs in a safe, open space are a must.
🔹 Health Considerations — Afghan Hounds can be prone to hip dysplasia and certain eye conditions, so routine wellness exams and preventive care are key to a long, happy life.

Afghan Hounds make loyal, loving companions for those who appreciate their unique personality, elegance, and playful energy. With proper care, they’ll bring beauty, joy, and adventure to any home. 💛🐾

🦷💙 Why Anesthetic Dentals Are the Safest Choice for Your Pet 💙🦷

When it comes to keeping your pet’s mouth healthy, professional dental cleanings are one of the best ways to prevent pain, infection, and tooth loss. But did you know that anesthetic dentals—those performed while your pet is under anesthesia—are also the safest and most effective option? 🐶🐱

At Southern California Veterinary Hospital, we understand that anesthesia can sound scary. However, when performed properly with modern monitoring and skilled veterinary care, it allows us to do the job thoroughly, safely, and comfortably for your pet. Here’s why:

🔹 Comprehensive Cleaning: Anesthesia allows us to clean both above and below the gumline—where most dental disease hides. Non-anesthetic cleanings can’t reach these areas, leaving harmful bacteria behind.
🔹 Pain-Free & Stress-Free: Your pet feels no discomfort during the procedure, and we can perform X-rays, polishing, and extractions if needed—without causing fear or pain.
🔹 Safety Monitoring: Throughout the procedure, our veterinary team monitors heart rate, oxygen levels, and blood pressure to ensure your pet stays stable and safe.
🔹 Better Health Outcomes: Thorough dental care helps prevent infections that can spread to vital organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys—keeping your pet healthier, longer.

Anesthetic dental cleanings are not just about sparkling teeth—they’re about protecting your pet’s overall health and comfort for years to come. 💙

If your pet is due for a dental exam, give us a call! Let’s keep those tails wagging and those smiles shining bright. ✨

🐱🌎 October 16th is National Feral Cat Day! 🌎🐱

At Southern California Veterinary Hospital, we’re shining a light on the often-overlooked members of our feline family — feral and community cats. 💙 These independent kitties may not live indoors, but they still deserve compassion, care, and respect.

National Feral Cat Day is all about raising awareness and supporting humane solutions that help both cats and communities thrive. One of the most effective ways to protect feral cats is through TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) programs. 🐾

Here’s how TNR makes a difference:
🔹 Prevents overpopulation — Spaying and neutering stop the cycle of unwanted litters.
🔹 Improves health and safety — Vaccinated and sterilized cats live healthier, calmer lives.
🔹 Promotes coexistence — Stable colonies mean fewer kittens born outdoors and fewer conflicts with people or wildlife.

If you see community cats in your neighborhood, consider getting involved with local TNR initiatives or donating to rescue organizations that support this important cause. Every effort helps create a safer world for cats—feral or not. 🐾💛

Together, we can make compassion the standard for every cat.

🧪💙 The Importance of Senior Labwork 💙🧪

As our pets grow older, their needs begin to change—just like ours. At Southern California Veterinary Hospital, we believe one of the most powerful tools for keeping your senior pet happy and healthy is routine labwork. 🐾

Even if your older dog or cat seems perfectly fine, internal changes can occur long before outward symptoms appear. Regular lab tests—such as bloodwork, urinalysis, and thyroid panels—help us detect early signs of disease, monitor organ function, and track subtle shifts in health over time. 🩺

Here’s why senior labwork matters:
🔹 Early Detection — Catching conditions like kidney disease, liver issues, or diabetes early can make a huge difference in treatment success.
🔹 Customized Care — Lab results help us tailor your pet’s diet, medication, and lifestyle recommendations to their unique needs.
🔹 Peace of Mind — Knowing your senior pet’s health status means fewer surprises and more time enjoying every moment together. ❤️

We recommend annual—or even biannual—labwork for senior pets to ensure we’re staying one step ahead of potential health problems. Because they’ve given us their best years, it’s our turn to give them the best care possible. 🐶🐱
