May 14th is International Chihuahua Day! Even if many people find the name difficult to spell, just about everyone can recognize a chihuahua when they see one. From movies to Taco Bell commercials, these little dogs have big personalities! With the breed standard weighing less than 6 pounds, Chihuahuas are the smallest breed of dog and can live to 14+ years. As a breed, these dogs can have luxating patellas (slipping kneecaps), tracheal collapse, heart murmurs, and severe dental disease. Their tiny stature makes them fragile, prone to injuries from heights, and sensitive to cold. Behaviorally, they often exhibit "small dog syndrome," leading to excessive barking and aggression. We want to see your Chihuahuas!

Summer vacation means more people will be travelling with their pets.
*Even if you are just going on a day trip out of town, it is always a good idea to have access to your pet's medical record, especially if they are on long term medications. *Make sure your pet is properly secured, either in a crate/carrier, or with a pet seatbelt.
*Make sure that your pet is properly vaccinated and current on prevention- parasites and diseases can be spread without direct contact with other animals.
*Have a pet first aid kit handy in case you need to stabilize and injuries or wounds until you can get seen somewhere.
*Keep id tags on the collar and microchip information up-to-date in case you and your pet get seperated.

Happy German Shepherd Day! German Shepherds have consistently stayed in the top 5 for most popular dog breeds in the U.S. They are well know for their military and police work, and are chosen by many people for their excellent guardians, their high trainability, and their loving nature toward their families. Most of their behavior issues stem from boredom, lack of exercise, or insufficient training, leading to excessive barking, destructive chewing, digging, separation anxiety, and territorial aggression. As intelligent, high-energy, and protective dogs, they require consistent, firm leadership, daily mental stimulation, and early socialization to prevent these issues. We want to see your Shepherds!

May is Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month. Just like humans, cats and dogs can also suffer from these conditions, with asthma being more common in cats than dogs. There isn't a permanent cure for either allergies or asthma, but there are different ways to help manage the symptoms. Asthma is usually a symptom of allergies, where an allergic reaction causes spasms of the airway. In cats, these spasms can also occur with no known trigger. There are different options to treat these conditions, from routine medications, to dietary changes, to environmental control and more. Of course, for most people, packing up and moving away from the triggers isn't always logical, so an air purifier or removing carpeting might be helpful for those suffering.

We have been trying to block and delete users that post scam comments, but sometimes we don't get to them quickly enough, or there is an abundance of them. If someone tries to get you to click a link, or buy something, or donate, don't immediately trust that those people have your best interests at heart. We have been having people use our clinic name selling fake puppies, or to try to sell t-shirts. I have blocked at least 20 hacker accounts, but more keep popping up. Unfortunately unless I set the page to private or make it to where I have to authorize comments for them to post and be public, there isn't a lot we can do to prevent this. If you have clicked on any of the scams, contact your bank to protect your account. Do NOT interact with the scammer comments- if you do, the hackers know they will get a response and keep targeting the page. Block them if you can, and don't engage.

May is Arthritis Awareness Month! While studies seem to be on the fence about the regenerative abilities of cartilage, there are many studies that show the value of joint supplements. Newer studies recommend joint supplements that have egg shell membrane in them. Egg shell membrane contains collagen, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, and glucosamine, which all work to reduce joint pain and stiffness, improve mobility, repair cartilage, lubricate joints, and support connective tissue health. One of the first things that we recommend for animals with joint issues is to get started on a joint supplement to help improve their quality of life.

May 4th is Bird Day and was started in 1894 to advance bird conservation, education, and habitat protection. Birds are keystone species- their presence and general health in an area indicate how healthy the area is as a whole. They are essential pollinators, seed dispersers, pest controllers, and ecosystem engineers. Their activities maintain biodiversity and structural integrity; if removed, their habitats often experience dramatic decline or collapse.

This week is Dog Anxiety Awareness Week. Fearful and anxious dogs don't usually have a past history of abuse, despite what many people believe. Commonly, anxiety stems from a lack of experience or knowledge of the given situation that triggers the anxiety, like inadequate socialization. Breed and individual personalities also play a role, with some animals just being more worried than others, and animals can even become anxious following cues from their human. Anxious animals either exhibit fight, flight, or freeze. It is important to be able to read body language- just because a dog isn't moving away doesn't mean they are comfortable with the situation they are in. Medications can help with anxiety and are often used with counter-training, and sometimes the pet can be taken off the medication eventually. There are also non-prescription supplements that can be used to help with anxiety. Solliquin, Xylkene, and Composure are a few over-the-counter things that can be used to try to help anxious pets.

May 1st is National Purebred Dog Day. There are many reasons that people may prefer to get a purebred dog rather than a mixed breed. Well-bred dogs have greater predictability of traits—including size, appearance, grooming needs, and temperament—which allows people to get a better match for their specific lifestyle. Even though purebred dogs do have a higher incidence of genetic diseases than mixed breeds, ethical breeders try to test for and breed out the bad traits. We want to see your purebred dogs!

April 30th is National Tabby Day. Tabby cats aren't a breed but a color pattern. There are orange tabbies, grey tabbies, brown tabbies, tabbies with white, tabbies with spots, stripes, or whorls. Many of them have an "M" mark on their forehead. Tabby cats seem to be more friendly, energetic, and vocal than cats with other coat colors. The more active cats definitely need more enrichment activities to keep their exuberance from turning into destructive behavior. We want to see pictures of your tabby cats!

With warmer weather comes spending more time outdoors, which increases chances of picking up a flea or 5. Once fleas get in your house, it can take 3 months of treating every animal in the household to get the fleas gone again. Some animals have flea allergies, where 1 flea bite DRIVES THEM INSANE! They often lick themselves bald and get secondary skin infections as a result of the allergic reaction. Over-the-counter topical preventions, while they can certainly be more affordable, often don't work fast enough to kill the fleas after biting. Flea allergies are often a reaction to the flea saliva, so the longer the flea feeds, the more of a reaction there will be. Higher grade products kill (or even repel so they can't bite at all) before a lot of that salivary transfer happens, preventing the reaction completely. Ask us about the different product options to help keep fleas under control.
