Rain is coming this week!

Dogs can hear 4 times stronger than we can, meaning the sound of thunder & pouring rain is much louder to them. This increase in noise can cause some dogs to become nervous and overwhelmed. If your dog pants, paces, barks, or hides they are afraid and need comfort. There are special vests and jackets made for dogs to help comfort them, or you can use an essential oil like lavender or chamomile in a diffuser. Call us with any questions!

💧 Hot weather = high risk for dehydration 🐶🐱
When temperatures rise, making sure your pets have plenty of fresh water isn’t optional—it’s essential.

🌡️ Pets can overheat quickly and don’t cool off like humans do
🚰 Always provide clean, cool water—indoors and outdoors
🐾 Bring water on walks, trips, and outdoor adventures
🏠 Check bowls often (they empty faster than you think!)

Signs of dehydration can include excessive panting, dry gums, lethargy, or loss of appetite. When in doubt, offer water—and shade—right away.

A hydrated pet is a happy, healthy pet 💙

🐾 Heartworm Prevention: Small Step, Big Protection ❤️‍🩹

Heartworm disease is serious, often silent, and 100% preventable—yet thousands of pets are diagnosed every year. Transmitted by mosquitoes, heartworms can grow inside your pet’s heart and lungs, causing permanent damage and even death.
💊 Monthly heartworm prevention:
✅ Protects your pet from a life‑threatening disease
✅ Is far safer and more affordable than treatment
✅ Works year‑round—even indoors and in colder months

Once infected, treatment is long, painful, and expensive. Prevention is simple.
📅 Stay on schedule. 💙 Protect their heart for life.
👉 Talk to us today about the right heartworm prevention for your pet.

One of our favorite fundraisers to support is Children's Alliance Center for Palo Pinto County's annual Bags, Bingo, and Badges. We have a great time each year as a sponsor of this event, and last night was especially fun. One of our sweetest patients was doing his part to raise money. Thank you, Tiny, for supporting the kids of Palo Pinto County!

🐾 Annual Checkups = A Healthier, Happier Pet 🩺❤️
Your pet can’t tell you when something feels “off,” which is why yearly vet checkups are so important. Regular exams help catch health issues early, keep vaccinations up to date, and make sure your furry friend stays active and comfortable for years to come. Call us to schedule!
A quick visit once a year can lead to a lifetime of tail wags, purrs, and happy memories. 🐶🐱
Because prevention is the best kind of love.

🐾 What To Do If Your Pet Gets Bitten By a Snake 🐍

Snake bites can be scary—but staying calm and acting quickly can make all the difference. Here’s what to do:

👉 1. Stay calm & keep your pet calm.
Movement spreads venom faster. Carry them if you can.

👉 2. Call us or the nearest emergency animal hospital immediately.
Tell them the situation so they can prepare antivenom if needed.

👉 3. Keep the bite area below heart level.
This helps slow venom circulation.

👉 4. Do NOT try to suck out venom, apply ice, or use a tourniquet.
These can make the injury worse.

👉 5. If safe, note the snake’s color/size—don’t try to catch it.
A photo taken from a distance can help identify the snake, but your safety comes first.

👉 6. Get to a vet ASAP.
Even non‑venomous bites need medical care to prevent infection.

❤️ Our pets depend on us in emergencies. Quick action can save their life!

🌷🐾 Spring Has Sprung — Here’s What to Watch Out for With Your Pets! 🐾🌷

Warmer weather means more outdoor fun, but it also brings a few seasonal hazards for our furry family members. Keep your pets safe this spring with these quick tips:

🌼 Allergies Are Real (Even for Pets!)
Itchy skin, watery eyes, sneezing — sound familiar? Pets feel it too! If you notice extra scratching or licking, it may be time for a vet check.
🪻 Toxic Plants Blooming
Beautiful…but dangerous. Lilies, tulips, azaleas, and sago palms can be toxic to pets if ingested. Keep curious noses away from landscaping and bouquets.
🦟 Fleas, Ticks & Mosquitos Are Back
As temps rise, these pests wake up. Make sure your pet is up-to-date on preventatives — it’s the easiest way to avoid itchy bites and serious illnesses.
🚗 Spring Cleaning Chemicals
Household cleaners, fertilizers, and pesticides can all be harmful. Store them safely and keep pets away while using them.
💧 Standing Water = Bacteria
After spring rain, puddles and ponds can carry harmful bacteria or parasites. Encourage your pet to drink fresh water only.
🌳 More Wildlife Activity
Raccoons, snakes, and other wildlife are out and about. Supervise yard time and keep pets leashed on walks.

Spring is a great time to get outside — just a few precautions help keep your furry companions happy, healthy, and ready to enjoy the sunshine! ☀️🐶🐱
