🐾 **Happy National Pet Obesity Awareness Day!** 🐶🐱

A little extra fluff might be cute, but those extra pounds can have a big impact on your pet's health! ❤️

Pet obesity can contribute to joint pain, diabetes, heart and respiratory problems, and a decreased quality of life.

🥕 A balanced diet, portion control, regular exercise, and routine veterinary visits can help keep your furry friend at a healthy weight.

💙💜 **Not sure if your pet is at a healthy weight?** Let us help! Together, we can keep those tails wagging and kitties purring for years to come!

🐾🎃 **Keep the Treats for You, Not Your Pets!** 🍂🎄

From Halloween candy to Thanksgiving feasts and Christmas goodies, the holiday season is full of delicious treats—but not all are safe for our furry friends!

🍫 Chocolate, 🍬 xylitol (found in some sugar-free treats), 🍇 grapes and raisins, 🧅 onions, and 🦴 cooked bones can be dangerous for pets.

As we celebrate from October through the New Year, remember to **keep harmful foods out of paws' reach!**

❤️ Let's make this holiday season happy, healthy, and safe for every furry family member!

Get those paws a walking during National Walk Your Dog Week!

10/01/2026

🐾 **October 1–7 is National Walk Your Dog Week!** 🐾

Grab the leash, enjoy that crisp fall air, and get those paws moving! 🍂🐕‍🦺

Regular walks aren’t just fun—they’re a great way to support your pet’s overall health. Walking can help with:

🐾 Maintaining a healthy weight
❤️ Cardiovascular health
🦴 Joint mobility
🧠 Mental stimulation
😊 Reducing boredom and unwanted behaviors
🤎 And, of course, spending quality time together!

**This week’s challenge:** Add an extra walk, explore a new trail, or simply let your pup take their time sniffing their way around the neighborhood. Remember—the sniffing is part of the fun! 👃🐶

And don’t forget our feline friends! Some adventurous cats enjoy safe, supervised walks with a properly fitted harness and leash too. 🐈‍⬛

📸 **We want to see your walking buddies!**
Share a photo of your pet enjoying their walk in the comments!

🐾 World Rabies Day is September 28! 🐾
This year’s official theme is "Stronger Together".
It reminds us that eliminating rabies isn't something any one person can do alone. It takes our entire community working hand-in-hand! From veterinary teams and local families to healthcare workers, we all play a vital role in keeping our pets and neighbors safe. Rabies is 100% preventable, and the most powerful step we can take together is ensuring our pets are vaccinated.
How we can be today?
Check your records: Ensure your pet’s rabies vaccine is completely up-to-date.
Protect the community: If your pet is overdue or needs a booster, give us a call to book an appointment.
Spread the word: Remind your friends, neighbors, and family members to protect their pets, too!
When we unite to vaccinate and educate, we create a safer, healthier world for pets and people alike. ❤️
📞 Call us at (303)455-2131 or visit hermosavetclinic.com to schedule your pet's appointment today!
