Deaf dogs are more common than most people realize, and many look and act no different than any other dog. Hearing loss can be present from birth or develop gradually with age, and certain breeds, including Dalmatians, Australian Shepherds, and some terriers, are more likely to be born at least partially deaf.

Watch for signs like not responding to their name, sleeping more deeply than usual, or startling easily. When approached with guided training and meaningful adjustments to care, you can create a safe environment where they can be happy, safe, and at peace.

Summer is gone, but parasite risks aren’t. Fleas, ticks, and other parasites can stay active well past the first cool snap. Here’s what to watch for this fall season:

❤️🐾 It’s World Heart Day!

Our pets have a pretty special way of stealing our hearts. From the happy tail wags and excited zoomies to the quiet cuddles on the couch, they make our days better in so many ways. 🥰

So today, we’re celebrating those little hearts that bring us so much joy!

Tell us below about your love ❤️
🐶 What’s your pet’s name?
🐱 And what’s one thing they do that always brings a smile to your face?

And while you’re giving your furry friend some extra love today, remember that regular wellness visits are a great way to keep an eye on their overall health—including their heart. ❤️

📅 Has your pet had a wellness exam recently? If it’s been a while, give us a call to schedule their next appointment. We’d love to see those happy faces! 🐾

Give your pets an extra snuggle from us today! ❤️

🐾🌎 World Rabies Day 🌎🐾

Today is a reminder that rabies is preventable—but still incredibly serious.

Keeping your pets up to date on their rabies vaccine is one of the easiest ways to protect them, your family, and our community. 🐶🐱🦇

Even pets who stay mostly indoors can encounter wildlife, so don’t wait until there’s a problem to make sure their vaccines are current!

💉 Is your pet due for their rabies vaccine? Give us a call or check their records today!

🐾 A healthy pet is a protected pet. ❤️

Three years ago, my world changed in an instant. A routine doctor's visit led to the words that everyone fears the most: "You have breast cancer." In that moment of overwhelming fear and numbness, I couldn't see past the diagnosis, and I didn't know how I was going to find the strength to survive.
