Did you know pets can have high blood pressure too? 🩺🐾

Just like in people, high blood pressure (hypertension) in pets can quietly damage important organs like the kidneys, eyes, heart, and brain — often without obvious signs at first.

Some pets may show symptoms like:
• Sudden blindness or vision changes
• Increased thirst or urination
• Confusion or restlessness
• Nosebleeds
• Seizures

High blood pressure is especially common in senior pets and pets with kidney disease, thyroid disease, or other chronic illnesses.

The good news? A simple, non-invasive blood pressure check can help us catch problems early and keep your pet feeling their best. Ask us about adding a blood pressure screening to your pet’s next visit! ❤️

Early detection can make a big difference 💙

Did you know we now offer cancer screening through a simple blood test? This quick, non-invasive test can help identify potential concerns earlier—often before pets show any signs at home.

It’s as easy as adding it onto routine bloodwork during your pet’s visit, with no extra stress for you or your pet.

If you’re interested in learning more or adding this screening to your pet’s next appointment, give us a call—we’re happy to help you stay one step ahead when it comes to your pet’s health 🐾

Deadly fungal disease that attacks bats detected for first time in Oregon (Benton and Columbia counties).

A deadly fungal disease that has put at least one bat species on the federal Endangered Species List has been detected in Oregon for the first time.

State Fish and Wildlife officials on Wednesday announced that scientists from the National Wildlife Health Center in March identified six bats in Columbia and Benton counties suffering from white-nose syndrome.

The scientists at each agency will work together to continue monitoring and identifying sites where bats might be infected and coordinate care for the bats with wildlife rehabilitators and the Oregon Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at Oregon State University, according to a news release.
