As pets age, medications often become part of daily routines. Create systems that work: pill organizers for multiple medications, smartphone reminders for dosing times, treat-dispensing methods for difficult pill-takers, and clear communication with all family members about who's responsible for what. Consistency in medication timing can significantly improve effectiveness!

October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month! Every adoption story is special, but there's something magical about giving a senior dog or overlooked pet their perfect match. Whether it's an energetic puppy or a calm senior, shelter pets come with grateful hearts and endless love. Share your adoption story or tag someone whose rescue pet changed their life!

Blood work can uncover things we can't see from the outside! It provides comprehensive insights into overall internal organ health and helps detect early onset of disease before pets show symptoms. For senior pets and those struggling with chronic conditions or that are managed on chronic medications, we recommend blood work every 6 months to catch changes early. Think of it as preventative maintenance for your pet's health engine. When was your pet's last blood panel?

Based on your pet’s unique immune system, fall can bring similar challenges that we see with summer allergies!

While outdoor allergens persist, indoor allergens like dust mites and mold can increase with closed windows and heating systems.

Watch for persistent sneezing, watery eyes, or skin irritation that doesn't improve. Unlike colds, allergies don't cause fever and symptoms tend to be consistent rather than progressively worse.

When in doubt, give us a call!

Cooler weather means longer, more comfortable outdoor adventures!

But senior pets or those with joint issues may need modifications. Consider shorter, more frequent walks on softer surfaces like grass instead of concrete, and warming up before vigorous play.

How does your pet's exercise routine change with the seasons?

October is Pet Cancer Awareness Month, and early detection is critical to potentially yield more positive outcomes.

Watch for lumps, bumps, changes in eating habits, lethargy, or persistent coughing. Many cancers are treatable when caught early, so don't wait to have concerning changes examined.

Regular wellness exams can help us catch problems before you notice symptoms. Schedule a check-up if anything seems different!

September taught us about transitions, resilience, and the importance of routine. Our pets showed us how to adapt to change while maintaining the relationships that matter most. As we head into October, let's carry forward the lessons our pets teach us daily: patience during adjustment, joy in simple moments, and unconditional love through every season. What did your pet teach you this month?

As activity levels change with cooler weather, joint health becomes especially important for our pets. If you notice any changes in your pet's mobility or activity levels, it's worth discussing with your veterinarian. They can help you create a personalized plan to support your pet's joint health and comfort. Early conversations with your vet about mobility can help maintain quality of life as pets age. Schedule a mobility assessment if you have concerns!

Today we pause to remember the shelter pets still waiting for homes and honor those who never got a second chance. Every pet deserves love, care, and a family to call their own. While we remember those we've lost, we also celebrate the incredible rescue organizations and volunteers working to save lives every day. ❤️

Life changes affect pets more than we realize! Moving, new family members, job changes, or even furniture rearrangement can cause stress. Help your pet cope by maintaining feeding routines, providing familiar comfort items, introducing changes gradually when possible, and offering extra patience during adjustment periods. If they just can't seem to adjust, we're here to help with expert advice.

Responsible dog ownership looks different for every family, but some basics remain the same: providing proper nutrition, regular exercise, veterinary care, training, and lots of love. It means understanding your dog's needs, respecting community spaces, and making decisions based on their wellbeing rather than convenience.

What does responsible ownership mean to you?

Behavior changes can signal health issues before physical symptoms appear. Increased hiding, changes in appetite and thirst, unusual aggression, excessive vocalization, or altered sleep patterns might indicate pain, illness, or stress. Don't dismiss behavior changes as "just getting older" - they often provide early warning signs that allow for prompt treatment.
