🐾 Vet Med Tip: Those Ears Are More Than Cute! 👂

Did you know your pet’s ears can give us important clues about their health? 👀

Regularly checking your pet’s ears can help you spot redness, swelling, unusual odor, excessive wax, discharge, or signs of discomfort—all of which can indicate an ear problem.

🐶 Pro tip: Make ear checks part of your regular at-home routine, especially for pets prone to ear infections! Give us a call if those ears look or smell out of your control 🫣

And yes… sometimes we have to admit that the patient is just ridiculously cute. 🖤🐾

September is Happy Cat Month! 😸

Our feline friends deserve a little extra love, attention, and—of course—treats next month! 😻

Happy Cat Month is the purr-fect reminder to celebrate everything that makes our cats so special while also making sure they’re getting the care they need to live their happiest, healthiest lives.

✨ Some ways to keep your kitty happy:
🐾 Schedule regular wellness exams
🐾 Keep them mentally stimulated with toys, puzzles & playtime
🐾 Provide plenty of cozy resting spots
🐾 Keep their litter box clean
🐾 Give them lots of love and attention (on their terms, of course 😉)
🐾 Stay up to date on preventive care

And remember—cats are experts at hiding when something is wrong. Regular veterinary visits can help us catch potential problems before they become bigger ones.

So this September, give your feline family member an extra scratch under the chin, a favorite treat, and maybe even a little catnip celebration! 🐱🎉

✨🐾 WEDNESDAY WYLIE GLOW UP! 🐾✨

Can we just take a moment to appreciate this transformation?! 😍

We LOVE getting to watch our patients grow from their very first puppy visits into the amazing dogs they become. 🐶💕

🐾 TUESDAY TAKEAWAY: One of the BEST puppy tips! 🐾

Bringing home a new puppy is exciting… but don’t forget about socialization! 🐶💕

Socialization isn’t just about meeting other dogs. It’s about helping your puppy feel comfortable and confident with all the things they’ll encounter throughout life—new people, sounds, surfaces, car rides, handling, grooming, and YES… trips to the veterinarian! 🩺

✨ Pro tip: Make vet visits a positive experience from the very beginning. Lots of treats, praise, gentle handling, and patience can help your puppy learn that the vet is a safe and happy place!

Starting these positive experiences early can make a HUGE difference as your puppy grows. ❤️

🐾 Puppy parents: What’s one thing your puppy is currently learning to get comfortable with?
