🍓🐶 Snack time, but make it dog-friendly! 💙

Fruits can be a fun, refreshing treat for your pup when served safely and in moderation. Just remember to wash them, remove any unsafe seeds, pits, or rinds, and cut them into bite-sized pieces!

🚨 Important reminder: Grapes and raisins are toxic to dogs and should always be avoided.

Save this post for your next trip to the fruit bowl, and share it with a fellow pet parent! 🐾

🏕️🐾 Camping season is calling! Before you pack the treats and hit the trails, make sure your four-legged adventure buddy is ready too.

🐶 Keep pets leashed or securely contained
💧 Bring plenty of fresh water
🦟 Stay up to date on flea, tick & heartworm prevention (ask about our current promo!!)
🌵 Watch for wildlife, plants, and other outdoor hazards
🩹 Pack a pet-friendly first aid kit
☀️ Keep an eye on the temperature and know when it’s time for a break

A little preparation goes a long way toward keeping your adventure fun, safe, and tail-wagging! 💙

The temps are finally beginning to drop, which means it’s time to get back outside! 🍂🐾

Cooler weather is perfect for longer walks, hikes, backyard adventures, and all the sniffing your pup can handle. But remember, even when it feels cooler to us, pets can still overdo it. Start slow, watch their energy levels, and give them plenty of water and breaks along the way.

Keep in mind that the Phoenix valley still fluctuates a lot so it’s always smart to schock the weather before planning exercise activities!

Here’s to more adventures with our favorite four-legged friends! 💙🐶

There is just something about a tiny dog with big dog attitude. 😂 We love all of our families with little dogs!

You seeing all right in there, Benji? Dogs with longer coats should get regular trims, especially around the eyes, to keep them healthy and to make sure they can see where they are going! A routine grooming appointment can take care of this, or you can do it carefully at home with a pair of shears.

Slips, trips or falls can lead to some pretty serious injuries in your pets. If your pet is favoring one leg over another, is whining or vocalizing loudly, or is limping at all, come see us right away. We are open 24/7—and we will take care of you both!

All good dogs deserve a Dr. Tali in their lives! Dr. Tali is a surgeon on staff—and she is *so* good that she mentors our other staff members as well. When you come to 1st Pet Vet, your pets are in good hands.
