Late summer means high pollen levels, dry grass, and bug bites — and just like people, pets can suffer from seasonal allergies too!

Common signs your pet might be dealing with allergies or skin irritation:
🔹 Excessive scratching or licking
🔹 Red, inflamed skin or hot spots
🔹 Head shaking or ear scratching
🔹 Hair loss or chewing at paws

Left untreated, these issues can lead to painful infections and serious discomfort. 😣

💡 Don’t wait — if your furry friend seems extra itchy, let us help them feel better fast.

📍 Veterinary Emergency Center - Open M-F 5pm-1am, Sat -Sun 10 AM – 10 PM
📞 (419) 708-5799 (No appointments, but we suggest calling ahead!)

Did your dog just discover that black-and-white “cat” in the yard wasn’t a new friend? 😬
Congratulations — they’ve been skunked! 🎉

While your nostrils may never forgive them...
👉 Skunk spray is non-toxic
👉 You don’t need to bring them in (trust us, our vet techs thank you)
👉 We can help you with at-home de-skunking tips

Pro tip: Tomato juice is for Bloody Marys, not dog baths. 🍅🚫
Instead, try this mix:
🧪 4c hydrogen peroxide
🧼 1/4 cup baking soda
💧 1 tsp of dish soap
(Avoid eyes! Apply to dry fur, allow to sit for 5 minutes before rinsing. Rinse well!)

As the kids head back to school, your furry family members might be feeling a little... lonely. 🥺

Pets thrive on routine and companionship, so sudden quiet days and empty houses can lead to separation anxiety, stress, or even unwanted behaviors like chewing or barking.

💡 Tips to Help Your Pet Adjust:
✅ Keep morning routines consistent
✅ Offer puzzle toys or treat-dispensing games
✅ Leave on soft music or the TV for comfort
✅ Plan extra quality time in the evening

Today, we’re celebrating the pawsome friendships that warm our hearts — especially the ones between our furry (or feathered!) companions. 🐶🐱🐰🦜

Do your pets have a bestie they cuddle, play, or nap with? Maybe it's a cat and dog duo, bunny and bird buddies, or a whole squad of pals! We want to see those adorable friendships in action! 💕

📸 Share a photo in the comments of your pets being best friends — snuggling, playing, or just hanging out. Let’s fill our feed with cuteness and celebrate the incredible bond between animal friends!

Because life is better with best friends — especially the four-legged kind. 🐾❤️

Today’s the purr-fect excuse to combine two of our favorite things:
🐶 pets + 😂 emojis!

We want to see your pet’s best emoji impression!
📸 Drop a photo of your cat, dog, or other furry (or feathery!) friend that matches one of these emojis: 😴 🐾 😻 😱 🐶 😎 🤪 😇 🦴 🛁 💩

Bonus points for creativity — is your cat the 😾 grumpy emoji? Is your dog basically the 🥹 face when waiting for treats?

👇 Post your pet pic + the emoji it matches below 👇

It’s Shark Awareness Day, and while we probably won’t see any actual sharks in our ER today, it is a great time to talk about the real “sharks” in your home…

⚠️ The sock-gobbling Labrador
⚠️ The stealthy ninja cat with a taste for rubber bands
⚠️ The goldfish-stalking pup who took an accidental dive into the tank

Sharks aren’t the only animals with a talent for dangerous curiosity — your pets keep us on our toes year-round with:
🔹 Foreign object ingestion
🔹 Aquarium-related mishaps
🔹 Mystery wounds from “playing too hard”

🐾 How to avoid a feeding frenzy (in your living room):
✔️ Pet-proof like you’re hiding treasure from a pirate cat
✔️ Keep small, chewy, swallowable things out of reach
✔️ Supervise fish tank encounters
✔️ Call us if something smells fishy... literally or otherwise 🐟
