🐾 “But it’s JUST a treat!”
Famous last words. 😂

We love spoiling our pets. Honestly, they’ve mastered the art of looking just pathetic enough to convince us they deserve another snack.

But those little treats can add up—FAST. 🍪🦴

For a 10-pound dog, a few extra high-calorie treats can be the equivalent of a person eating several extra meals every day. 😳

And carrying extra weight isn't just a cosmetic issue. Being overweight can increase the risk of:

⚠️ Arthritis and joint problems
⚠️ Diabetes
⚠️ Heart and respiratory problems
⚠️ Reduced mobility and stamina
⚠️ Increased surgical and anesthetic risks
⚠️ A shorter, less comfortable life

So… does that mean NO treats?

Absolutely not! We aren't monsters. 😂

Instead, choose treats wisely and keep portions small. You can also use part of your pet's regular daily food as treats, or offer lower-calorie options like carrots or green beans when appropriate. 🥕🫛

And remember: those calories count too! 👀

If you're not sure whether your pet is at a healthy weight—or you're wondering how many calories they should be getting each day—ask us! We can help create a weight-management plan that keeps your pet healthy without completely ruining their social life. 🐶🐱❤️

Because apparently, “I’m on a diet” is not an acceptable answer when someone has the face of a Labrador asking for cheese. 😂

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: WE’RE TAKING A DAY OFF! 🚨

Yes, you read that correctly. Even the people who spend their days talking to dogs, negotiating with cats, getting peed on, and answering the question “Is this normal?” need a day off. 😂

🐾 Golden Valley Animal Clinic will be CLOSED Monday, September 7th for Labor Day. 🇺🇸

Our staff will be celebrating by doing absolutely nothing medically productive… unless you count eating too much, sleeping in, and pretending we don't hear our own pets asking for things. 😴🍔

We'll be back Tuesday, September 8th, refreshed(ish), caffeinated ☕, and ready to hear all about what your pets managed to get into over the long weekend.

❤️🇺🇸 Have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend from all of us at Golden Valley Animal Clinic!

Please plan ahead for food, medications, and anything else your furry troublemakers might need before Monday! 🐶🐱

🩸 So… What Does My Veterinarian Actually Learn From That Little Tube of Blood? 🩸

You brought your pet in for a routine wellness exam, and we said, “Let’s run some bloodwork.”

But what are we actually looking at? 🤔

Spoiler alert: it’s a LOT more than whether your pet has been sneaking snacks when nobody is looking. 😂

Here’s a peek at what that little tube can tell us:

🩸 Red & White Blood Cells
We’re looking for things like anemia, signs of infection, inflammation, and certain blood-related problems. Basically, we’re checking to see what’s happening with your pet’s cellular workforce. 👷‍♀️👷‍♂️

🫀 Liver
Liver values can give us clues about how the liver is functioning and whether there may be disease, a blockage, or even effects from medications.

🫘 Kidneys
We look at kidney markers to help identify kidney problems. Some changes can show up in testing before your pet starts acting sick, which is one of the biggest reasons routine screening is so valuable.

🦋 Thyroid
The thyroid helps regulate metabolism. If it's producing too much or too little hormone, it can affect how your pet feels and functions.

🥞 Pancreas & Digestive System
Certain abnormalities can provide clues about pancreatic inflammation, diabetes, and some other diseases.

🦠 Tick & Mosquito-Borne Diseases
Some blood tests can help screen for diseases transmitted by those tiny little freeloaders we wish would just go away. 🦟🙄

The REALLY important part?

Your pet doesn't have to look sick for us to find something abnormal.

Routine screening helps us establish what's normal for your pet and can help us spot subtle changes before obvious signs of illness appear.

Think of it as getting a peek under the hood before the check-engine light starts flashing. 🚗💥

Your pet may think their wellness exam is completely unnecessary.

We respectfully disagree. 😆

🐾 Routine exams + appropriate screening = a better chance of catching problems early.

💰 Preventive Care: Because An Ounce of Prevention Really IS Worth a Pound of Cure! 🐾

We know…regular wellness exams, bloodwork, f***l testing, vaccines, and parasite prevention can feel like just another expense.

But preventive care can actually save you money in the long run.

🩺 Early detection = simpler treatment
Finding a problem before it becomes serious can sometimes mean less complicated—and less expensive—treatment.

🧪 Routine testing can catch what you can't see
Pets are experts at hiding illness. Bloodwork and f***l testing can uncover problems before your pet is showing obvious signs.

🪱 Parasite prevention is cheaper than treating a parasite problem
Fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites can cause significant health problems and potentially expensive treatments.

⚖️ Keeping your pet at a healthy weight matters, too
Extra weight can contribute to chronic health problems, which can mean more medical care down the road.

❤️ Most importantly, preventive care helps your pet live a longer, healthier life.

And right now, we're making preventive care a little easier on the wallet:

Don't wait until your pet is sick to find out something is wrong. Regular wellness care is one of the best investments you can make in your pet's health.

🐾 Keeping pets healthier, happier, and hopefully a little less expensive to fix! 😉

How Did My Pet Get WORMS?!

Your pet doesn't have to eat p**p to get intestinal parasites…although, let's be honest, that certainly doesn't help! 😂💩

Dogs and cats can pick up intestinal parasites in MANY ways:

🐾 Contaminated soil or grass – Parasite eggs and larvae can live in the environment. Pets can pick them up while sniffing, walking, or playing outside.

💩 Other animals' f***s – Even tiny amounts can contain parasite eggs.

👅 Grooming themselves – Pets can accidentally swallow parasite eggs or larvae while licking their paws or fur.

🐭 Eating infected prey – Rodents, rabbits, and other animals can carry certain parasites.

🥩 Raw or undercooked food – Some parasites can be transmitted through contaminated food.

🐶 From mom to puppies or kittens – Some intestinal parasites can be passed from mother to her babies.

🪲 Fleas – Swallowing an infected flea while grooming can lead to tapeworm infection.

And here's the tricky part: you may not know your pet has parasites! Some pets show very few—or even no—obvious signs.

That's why routine f***l testing and year-round parasite prevention are so important. ❤️

It's a great time to make sure your pet isn't carrying any unwanted little passengers. 🪱💩
