🌿 Seasonal allergies don’t just affect people; pets can struggle with them too. Pollen, grass, mold, and dust can all trigger irritation in dogs and cats, especially during certain times of year. But unlike humans, pets usually show allergies through their skin instead of sneezing.

Common signs can include itchy skin, paw licking, ear irritation, excessive scratching, and inflamed skin.

Keeping paws clean after walks, washing bedding regularly, and staying up to date on flea prevention may help reduce irritation. If symptoms persist, your veterinarian can help create a plan to keep your pet comfortable year-round. 🐶

Your pet’s smile is more than just cute, it’s essential to their overall pet wellness 🦷🐾

Dental disease can affect up to 90% of pets over age 4 and may lead to serious issues like heart, kidney, and liver disease if untreated.

At home, support dental care by brushing with pet-safe toothpaste, offering dental chews or toys, and checking for signs like bad breath, red gums, or trouble eating. These small steps make a big impact on your pet’s health and comfort.

Stay proactive with preventive care and schedule a dental exam with our veterinary care team to keep your pet healthy from nose to tail 💙

Pools can help pets cool off, but they also come with important risks.

Chlorine and salt water can irritate skin, eyes, and stomach if swallowed. Dogs can easily become exhausted, experience temperature shock in cold water, or develop ear and skin infections from lingering moisture. Not all dogs are strong swimmers, so drowning is a real concern.

For safe pool use, always supervise closely, limit swim time to 15 to 20 minutes, offer frequent breaks, and provide fresh drinking water. Rinse your pet after swimming and dry their ears thoroughly to support pet wellness and prevent infections.

For a safer option, consider a shallow kiddie pool or sprinkler for cooling without the risks.

Just like us, pets need preventative care. Annual blood tests are one of the most important tools we have to keep your pet healthy and catch issues early.

Here's what we're checking:
🩸Complete Blood Count (CBC): Checks red & white blood cells, platelets. Detects infections, anemia, and clotting issues.

🩸Blood Chemistry Panel: Tests kidney function, liver health, blood sugar levels, and electrolytes. Catches early diabetes, kidney disease, and liver problems.

🩸 Thyroid Screening: Senior pets, especially thyroid issues, are common and very treatable once diagnosed.

Why it matters: Early detection = better outcomes + lower treatment costs. A seemingly healthy pet can have hidden issues that bloodwork reveals.

Questions about your pet's results? We're here to explain everything.
