🐾 Wishing Emmy All the Best! 🐾

It is with both gratitude and excitement that we say goodbye to our wonderful Client Service Representative, Emmy, as she begins an exciting new chapter in North Carolina to continue her education and pursue her career goals.

Emmy's warm smile, positive attitude, and genuine compassion have brightened our hospital every day. She has been a friendly face for our clients and has always gone above and beyond to make every pet and their family feel welcomed and cared for. Her kindness, dedication, and exceptional customer service have made a lasting impact on our AHW family.

While we will miss her dearly, we couldn't be more proud of her for following her dreams.

The good news is that this isn't goodbye forever! During her school breaks, Emmy plans to return to AHW to help care for our clients and their furry family members. She loves being part of the AHW family, and we know many of you will be excited to see her familiar smile back in the office whenever she's home.

Please join us in wishing Emmy all the best on this exciting new beginning. We know she has an amazing future ahead, and we are so grateful for the time she has shared with us.

🐾August is National Immunization Awareness Month!

Vaccines are one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect your pet from serious and preventable diseases.

Whether you have a playful puppy, a curious kitten, or a seasoned senior companion, staying up to date on recommended vaccinations helps keep them and our community healthy.

🐶 Vaccinations help protect against diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus.
🐱 Cats benefit from protection against illnesses such as rabies, feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia.

Every pet is unique, which is why we'll recommend a vaccination plan based on your pet's age, lifestyle, and individual risk factors.

Not sure if your pet is due? We'd be happy to review their records and help keep them protected.

🐱 Does your cat hide the moment the carrier comes out?

You're not alone! Many cats become stressed by car rides, unfamiliar smells, barking dogs, and the veterinary office itself.

That's why Animal Health & Wellness offers veterinary house calls for eligible appointments.

When we come to your home, your cat can stay in the place where they feel safest and most comfortable. For many nervous or senior cats, that means:

🏡 Less stress and anxiety
😺 A calmer exam experience
❤️ More personalized, one-on-one care
🚗 No carrier battles or car rides

We know every cat is different, and for some, receiving care at home can make all the difference.

If your feline friend gets nervous about visiting the vet, ask us if a house call is the right option. We'd love to help make veterinary care a little easier—for both of you.

🦷 A healthy smile means a healthier pet!

Did you know that by age 3, most dogs and cats have some degree of dental disease? The good news is that regular dental care can help prevent pain, tooth loss, and other health problems before they start.

Here are a few easy ways to keep your pet's teeth healthy:

🪥 Brush their teeth with pet-safe toothpaste.
🦴 Offer veterinarian-recommended dental chews.
👀 Watch for bad breath, red gums, or difficulty chewing.
🐾 Schedule regular dental exams so we can catch problems early.

A healthy mouth doesn't just mean fresher breath, it can help support your pet's overall health and quality of life.

If you've noticed signs of dental disease or it's been a while since your pet's last dental exam, give us a call. We'd be happy to help keep that tail wagging and those purrs coming!

🌧️ Rainy or cloudy day? Keep your pup's brain busy! 🐾

Did you know that 15–20 minutes of mental enrichment can be just as beneficial as physical exercise for many dogs? Activities that encourage sniffing, problem-solving, and learning help reduce boredom, build confidence, and may even decrease unwanted behaviors like excessive barking or chewing.

Try these indoor enrichment ideas:
🧩 Puzzle toys – Encourage problem-solving while rewarding your dog with treats.
🥎 Treat-dispensing toys – Slow down eating and keep dogs engaged longer.
🌿 Snuffle mats – Tap into your dog's natural instinct to sniff and forage.
🩵 Lick mats – Spread with pet-safe treats like plain pumpkin, plain yogurt, or xylitol-free peanut butter for a calming activity.
🎯 Hide-and-seek games – Hide treats or favorite toys around the house and let your dog use their nose to find them.

More rainy-day fun:
✔️ Practice a few new tricks or review old ones.
✔️ Rotate toys every few days to keep them exciting.
✔️ Freeze a stuffed enrichment toy for a longer-lasting challenge.

💙 Remember: Choose toys that are appropriate for your dog's size and chewing style, supervise play with enrichment toys, and always remove damaged toys.

🐶 Puppies will chew on just about anything... so let's make sure it's the right things! 😄

Bringing home a new puppy is exciting, but those little teeth are always looking for something to chomp. The right toys can help satisfy their natural chewing instincts, ease teething discomfort, and keep them happily entertained.

Some of our favorite puppy-friendly options include:
🦴 Soft rubber chew toys
🧩 Treat-dispensing puzzle toys
🧸 Plush toys made for puppies
❄️ Frozen teething toys for sore gums
🎾 Puppy-sized balls and gentle fetch toys

💡 Pro Tip: Rotate your puppy's toys every few days. "New" toys are much more exciting—even if they've had them before!

Remember to always choose toys that are the right size for your puppy and inspect them regularly for wear and tear.
