November is Pet Diabetes Month.

Diabetes is manageable, and catching it early makes all the difference. Signs to watch for include drinking more water than usual, more frequent urination, increased appetite with weight loss, and low energy.

If any of that sounds familiar, a simple visit can help us figure out what is going on. Call (631) 266-6600.

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month, and older pets have so much love left to give.

Senior pets are often already house-trained, past the chewing stage, and happy to spend the day right beside you. They tend to wait longer for a home, which makes finding them one even more rewarding.

Thinking about adopting? Tell us in the comments what made you fall for your pet.

November is Pet Cancer Awareness Month, and early detection makes a real difference.

You know your pet best. New lumps or bumps, sores that will not heal, changes in appetite or energy, or unexplained weight loss are all worth a call. Many of these turn out to be nothing, but it is always better to check.

Noticed something? Reach out at (631) 266-6600.

The temperature is starting to drop, and your pet feels it too.

A few things to keep in mind as it gets colder: short-haired and small dogs may want a sweater on walks, paws can get irritated by salt and ice melt, and antifreeze is extremely dangerous, so wipe up any garage spills right away.

If your pet seems stiff or slow in the cold, let us take a look. Call (631) 266-6600.
