🐱 Chronic kidney disease is one of the most common conditions we see in older cats — and early signs can be very subtle. Increased thirst, weight loss, vomiting, or changes in litter box habits should never be ignored.

The good news? Early detection and proper management can help improve quality of life and slow disease progression. Routine bloodwork, urine testing, and blood pressure monitoring are important tools in catching kidney disease early.

Treatment plans are tailored to each cat and may include:
💧 Fluid therapy
🥣 Prescription kidney diets
💊 Medications & supplements
🩺 Monitoring blood pressure and lab work
❤️ Supportive care at home

If you’ve noticed changes in your cat’s appetite, drinking habits, energy level, or weight, schedule an exam with your veterinarian.

Early intervention matters. 🐾

Meet Thor! 🐾 Thor came in for his annual exam and vaccines and was the best boy! ❤️
Fun fact: Frenchies love being around people and are often called “velcro dogs” because they never want to leave your side! 🐾

Merle and Oliver came in today to establish care, get up to date on their vaccines, and complete their annual heartworm and tick-borne disease screening tests! 🐾💉

These handsome pups did a great job during their visit, and we loved getting to meet them! Keeping vaccines and yearly screenings current is an important part of staying healthy and happy all year long. ❤️

Welcome to the clinic, Merle and Oliver! 🐶🐶

Have you noticed how bad ticks are this year?

Or maybe you’ve heard someone say, “Wow… ticks are REALLY bad this season.”

We are seeing an increase in ticks and tick exposure in dogs, and with that comes an increased risk of tick-borne diseases like:

• Lyme Disease
• Anaplasmosis
• Ehrlichiosis

These diseases can cause symptoms such as:
🐾 Lethargy
🐾 Fever
🐾 Limping or joint pain
🐾 Loss of appetite
🐾 Vomiting or diarrhea
🐾 Low platelet counts and other serious health concerns

Some dogs may show very subtle signs at first, while others can become seriously ill if left untreated.

That’s why:
✔️ Year-round tick prevention is so important
✔️ Annual heartworm/tick-borne disease screening helps detect infections early
✔️ Routine wellness testing can help keep your dog healthy and protected

Be sure to check your pets for ticks after spending time outdoors and talk with your veterinary team about the best prevention options for your dog.

Prevention today can help avoid serious illness tomorrow. 🐶💚

Myth: One human year equals seven dog years
🐾 MYTH: 1 human year = 7 dog years.
✅ FACT: Dogs age much faster in their early years, and the aging rate varies by breed and size.
🐶 Small dogs often live longer than large breeds.
