Halloween is almost here β€” costumes, candy, and lots of fun. But it comes with hidden dangers for our furry friends.

Keep these out of paw's reach:
🍫 Chocolate β€” toxic to dogs and cats, especially dark
🍬 Xylitol β€” in sugar-free gum/candy, extremely toxic to dogs
πŸ‡ Raisins & grapes β€” can cause kidney failure in dogs
πŸŽƒ Moldy pumpkins & corn cobs β€” upset stomachs and blockages
πŸ•―οΈ Candles, glow sticks & cords β€” curious pets will investigate
🎭 Costumes β€” make sure they fit comfortably with no chewable parts

Quick tips:
🐾 Keep candy bowls out of reach
🐾 Give pets a quiet room during trick-or-treat hours
🐾 Make sure they have a registered microchip β€” doors will be opening all night

Halloween can be fun for everyone β€” if we keep our pets safe.
Suspect your pet ate something they shouldn't? Give us a call. We're here to help.

Today is World Rabies Day β€” and we're taking a moment to talk about one of the most important vaccines your pet will ever get. πŸΎπŸ’‰

Rabies is a disease we hear about less often now, but it's still out there. It's nearly always fatal once symptoms appear, and it's a threat to pets and people alike. That's why the rabies vaccine isn't just recommended β€” it's required by law in Texas.

Here's what that means for you and your pet:
🐾 It's a legal requirement. Texas state law requires all dogs and cats to be vaccinated against rabies β€” and keeping it up to date keeps you compliant and protected.
🐾 It protects your whole family. Vaccinated pets are a barrier between wildlife and your home. It's not just about your pet β€” it's about everyone they come into contact with.
🐾 It's your pet's ticket to travel. Many boarding facilities, groomers, and travel certificates require proof of an up-to-date rabies vaccination.
🐾 It's simple and safe. The vaccine is quick, routine, and one of the most well-studied vaccines in veterinary medicine.

Rabies is preventable. And a simple vaccine is all it takes to keep your pet β€” and your family β€” safe. ❀️

Is your pet up to date on their rabies vaccine? If you're not sure, we're happy to help you check. 🐢🐱

Is your pet a TV fan? πŸ“ΊπŸΎ

Believe it or not, pet TV can be a surprisingly great tool for enrichment! Just like window watching, it gives your pet something to see, hear, and engage with β€” turning a quiet, boring afternoon into a little entertainment. Here's why it works:
🐾 It taps into natural instincts. Shows with birds, squirrels, and other animals trigger your cat's prey drive or your dog's curiosity β€” in a safe, indoor way.

🐾 It provides mental stimulation. A little visual "hunting" keeps their brain active and engaged, which is great for pets who spend time home alone.

🐾 It can help with relaxation. Calming nature scenes or soothing sounds can actually help anxious pets settle down.

A few tips to make TV time work for your pet:
πŸ“Ί Choose pet-friendly content β€” there are channels and videos made specifically for dogs and cats πŸ“Ί Keep sessions short β€” a little goes a long way; don't leave it on all day
πŸ“Ί Watch for overstimulation β€” if your pet gets too worked up, it's time to turn it off
πŸ“Ί Pair it with other enrichment β€” TV is great, but it's no substitute for play, exercise, and cuddles
A happy, enriched pet is a calmer, healthier pet. And sometimes, that just means letting them binge-watch a little bird TV. πŸ¦πŸ˜„

Everyone say hello to Dr. Skyla Johnston! πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸΎ

Dr. Johnston has been with us for almost three months now β€” and in that short time, they've already made such an impact on our team. Born and raised in Oklahoma, they attended undergrad and vet school at Oklahoma State University. πŸŽ“

Before joining Honnas Veterinary, Dr. Johnston spent five years working in veterinary research at Oklahoma State, followed by three years as a vet assistant in general practice and emergency. That's a foundation of experience that makes them an incredible addition to our team.

At home, Dr. Johnston has two doggos, Copper and Chaewon β€” who we're pretty sure are the real bosses. 🐢 Skyla’s hobbies include baking, crochet, reading, and everything K-pop.

What Dr. Johnston loves most about veterinary medicine is helping pet parents feel confident in caring for their pets. Of course, they love the animals β€” but they also love empowering families to give their pets the best care possible. And that's exactly the kind of vet we want on our team. πŸ’š

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Johnston to our team!

Sometimes the best enrichment is free.

Window watching might look like your pet just staring into space β€” but to them, it’s a whole movie. Birds flying by, squirrels plotting their next move, neighbors walking dogs, leaves rustling in the wind. It’s stimulation, entertainment, and mental exercise, all from the comfort of home.

For dogs, a good window view satisfies their natural curiosity and gives them something engaging to do while you’re away.

For cats, it taps into their instinct to observe, stalk, and β€œhunt” β€” without ever leaving the windowsill.

A few tips to make window time even better:
πŸͺŸ Set up a cozy perch β€” a soft bed or cushion by their favorite window
πŸͺŸ Add a bird feeder outside β€” instant live entertainment, all day long
πŸͺŸ Keep it safe β€” make sure windows are secure and screens are sturdy, especially for curious kitties

A happy, enriched pet is a calmer, healthier pet. And sometimes, all it takes is a good window and a little bit of the outside world. 🐢🐱✨

This is Crowley. 🐱 And his story is exactly why we talk about pet insurance.

Crowley is a 2-year-old cat who came to us with sudden vomiting, lethargy, and weight loss. He was hospitalized, and diagnostics showed a foreign body obstruction that required immediate surgery. After surgery, Crowley recovered well β€” his vomiting and appetite issues resolved, and we were hopeful that was the end of it.

About a month later, Crowley was back. Same symptoms, same worry. He'd been vomiting on and off for a week despite his anti-nausea medication, wouldn't eat, and was dropping weight fast. Diagnostics again pointed to a foreign body β€” but with Crowley still recovering from his first surgery, we were hesitant to put him through another one so soon.

So we facilitated an emergency transfer to a hospital with endoscopy, where the foreign body was successfully removed. After four days in the hospital, Crowley finally came home. πŸ πŸ’š

Here's the part that matters: Crowley was insured as a kitten, through Trupanion's exam day offer. Within that two-month span, Trupanion paid over $20,000 toward Crowley's emergency bills β€” meaning his owner never had to make the impossible choice between their cat's life and their finances.

We share Crowley's story because pet insurance isn't just a policy. For families like Crowley's, it's peace of mind. It's the difference between "we can't afford this" and "let's save our pet."

Every pet deserves a chance. And no pet parent should have to ask, "Can I afford to save them?"

September is Pet Insurance Awareness Month β€” and honestly, it's one of those topics that's easier to think about now than later. πŸΎπŸ’š

Here's the thing: we never want to see a pet go without care because of cost. And while we can't predict the future, we can help you be prepared for it. That's where pet insurance comes in.
Unexpected accidents, sudden illnesses, emergency visits β€” they can happen to any pet, at any time. Pet insurance won't stop them from happening, but it can make sure you're never forced to choose between your pet's health and your budget.

A few things worth knowing:
🐾 The best time to get it is when your pet is young and healthy β€” pre-existing conditions usually aren't covered.
🐾 Plans vary widely β€” accident-only, illness, and wellness coverage all look different, so it's worth comparing.
🐾 It's not one-size-fits-all β€” the right plan depends on your pet, your budget, and your peace of mind.

We are here to help you make an informed decision. If you have questions about pet insurance, or just want to talk through what's out there, we're always happy to chat.
Because every pet deserves great care β€” and every pet parent deserves a little peace of mind. πŸ’š
