🚧🐾 Pardon Our Paw-some Progress! 🐾🚧

Our construction crew is hard at work helping us improve the Arizona Animal Wellness Center! 🔨🐶🐱

On Tuesday, June 2nd, work will be taking place near Door 2 on the east side of the building (the neighborhood side), and on Wednesday, June 3rd, construction will move to the west side of the building by the pharmacy drive-thru.

We're having our drip irrigation system repaired to help keep our landscaping healthy and beautiful! 🌱💧

During construction, these areas and entrances may be temporarily blocked off. Please keep an eye out for 🚧 caution tape, cones, and construction signs to help keep everyone safe—including our two-legged and four-legged visitors!

🐾 Safety Tip: Please keep pets close by and avoid entering any marked-off areas while work is being completed.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while we make these improvements. Thank you for being the amazing clients that you are and for trusting us with your furry family members every day. 💙

🐾🎉 Pawgress Friday: Oso's Strength-Building Adventure! 🎉🐾

Let's hear it for Oso! 🐶💙

At the beginning of this year, Oso came to see us after his family noticed he was limping. After taking X-rays, we discovered that Oso has hip dysplasia—a condition where the hip joint doesn't fit together as smoothly as it should. Over time, this can cause discomfort, arthritis, and difficulty moving around, especially during activities our pups love most.

Thankfully, Oso has a fantastic team in his corner! 🐾 After meeting with Dr. Richmond, a rehabilitation plan was created that includes laser therapy, underwater treadmill sessions, and land exercises to help improve his strength, comfort, and mobility.

And wow... has Oso been making waves! 🌊💪

During his very first underwater treadmill session, Natalie hopped right into the water with him to help build his confidence and provide support. Fast forward to just his third session, and Oso is already cruising along in the treadmill all by himself like a seasoned rehab pro! 🏆🐕

While he's still early in his rehabilitation journey, the progress he's made in only three sessions has us all wagging our tails with excitement. Every step he takes is helping build strength in those hips and bringing him closer to feeling his best.

Let's fill the comments with some encouragement for Oso as he continues his journey to stronger hips, happier walks, and more adventures ahead! 💙🐾

Way to go, Oso! We're all cheering for you! 🎉🐶

💦🐾 Water Safety Month is making waves! 🐾💦

As the Arizona temperatures start to rise, many pets are ready to cannonball into summer fun — but it’s important to keep safety top of mind while making a splash! ☀️🌊

Here are some paws-itively important water safety tips to keep your furry friends safe around pools, lakes, and backyard water fun:

🏖️ Teach your pet where the steps are in the pool
Even strong swimmers can panic if they can’t find the exit!

🦺 Life jackets aren’t just for people
Not all dogs are natural swimmers — especially brachycephalic breeds, seniors, or little pups. A pet life vest can be a lifesaver!

💧 Bring fresh drinking water
Pool water, lake water, and salt water can upset your pet’s tummy faster than you can say “doggy paddle.” 🐶

🌡️ Watch for overheating
Swimming is fun, but our pets can still overheat in the sun. Make sure they have access to shade and cooling breaks.

👀 Supervise at all times
Never leave pets unattended near water — even if they love to swim!

🚿 Rinse after swimming
Chlorine, salt, and algae can irritate skin and paws, so a quick rinse-off helps keep your pet comfortable.

Whether your pet is a professional pool pupper or prefers to dip just one toe bean in the water, staying safe helps everyone have a tail-wagging summer! ☀️🐕🐈

🐾💙 PAWGRESS FRIDAY MEET BOOKER 💙🐾

If you’ve ever visited us while Booker was here… chances are you’ve already joined his fan club 😍🐶

This 10-month-old Cane Corso is basically a giant puppy with an even bigger personality. Booker first came to see Dr. Paster for a wellness visit when his family noticed he seemed uncomfortable in his hips and wasn’t moving quite like the happy goofball they knew and loved.

After some X-rays, we discovered that Booker has hip dysplasia — a condition where the hip joint doesn’t fit together the way it should. Instead of the joint moving smoothly, it can cause rubbing, instability, pain, and arthritis over time. For a growing giant breed puppy, that can really put a “ruff” pause on zoomies 😢🐾

We explored several options to help keep Booker comfortable and strong. He started acupuncture treatments, laser therapy, and rehab sessions with Natalie to help ease pain, improve mobility, and build muscle support around those hips. And let us tell you… Booker was an ALL-STAR patient ⭐💪

But after careful discussion and planning, it was decided that Booker would benefit most from a total hip replacement — a surgery where the damaged hip joint is replaced with an artificial one to help restore comfort, mobility, and quality of life. Think of it like giving Booker a brand-new “pawformance upgrade” 🦴⚙️🐕

Right now, his rehab journey is temporarily on paws while he recovers from surgery, but don’t worry… this story is definitely TO BE CONTINUED 👀💦

We can’t wait to see Booker back with Natalie for more rehab sessions and underwater treadmill adventures soon. Until then, let’s all send this sweet boy lots of love, healing thoughts, and encouragement as he recovers like the brave boy he is 💙🐾

Stay tuned for more Booker Pawgress updates coming soon!

🐾🏡 FOUND CAT — HELP US GET THIS SWEET GIRL HOME 🏡🐾

This adorable kitty was found near Power & Germann, and while she’s currently safe with a wonderful Good Samaritan, we have a feeling someone out there is missing this sweet girl very much 💔🐱

She is incredibly friendly, loving, and clearly used to getting attention and affection. We’re hoping the power of social media can help reunite her with the family she belongs to! ✨

Sometimes curious kitties go on unexpected adventures… but we think this little explorer is ready to trade her “field trip” in for cuddles at home 🐾💕

Please SHARE this post to help spread the word and hopefully get her back where she belongs. Even one share could help reunite this sweetheart with her family!

If you recognize her or think she may belong to someone you know, please contact us.

Let’s work together to turn this into a happy “tail” ending 🐾💙

🐾❤️ Happy National Rescue Dog Day! ❤️🐾

Rescue dogs may come into our lives needing a second chance… but somehow, they end up rescuing us right back. 🐶✨

They rescue us with:
💙 Unconditional love
💙 Loyal companionship
💙 Endless laughter
💙 Comfort on hard days
💙 Tail wags that make everything better

Whether they came from a shelter, rescue, or were found wandering and looking for love, these incredible pups remind us every day that family isn’t always born — sometimes it’s adopted. 🏡🐾

Today, we’re celebrating all the rescue dogs who stole our hearts and changed our lives for the better! 🦴✨

📸 We want to see YOUR rescue pups!
Share a photo or tell us your favorite story about how your rescue dog “rescued” you back. 🐕💕
