👅😂 Excuse us, Geno... is that your victory tongue?
Miss Geno finished her dental cleaning, and we're convinced she's sticking her tongue out because she knows she beat us to the punch! 😜
"You cleaned my teeth... now here's what I think about that!" 💁‍♀️👅
Or maybe she's just showing off her freshly polished smile and making sure everyone notices. We can't blame her—it looks pretty fantastic! ✨🦷
A clean mouth, fresh breath, and just the right amount of post-dental attitude? We'd call that a successful visit! 💙🐾
Thanks for making us laugh today, Geno! Keep that tongue in... or don't. We kind of love the sass. 😆

🐾⚖️ PET OBESITY FACTS ⚖️🐾
From Koch Veterinary Services
Extra treats and big puppy eyes can be hard to resist—but maintaining a healthy weight is one of the most important things you can do for your pet’s long-term health. ❤️
💡 DID YOU KNOW?
More than half of dogs and cats seen by veterinarians in the U.S. are overweight or obese—and many pet owners don’t realize their pet is carrying extra weight.
🐶🐱 WHY IT MATTERS:
Extra weight isn’t just “a little extra fluff”—it can lead to:
🦴 Joint pain and arthritis
❤️ Heart and respiratory strain
🍽️ Reduced energy and mobility
⏳ Shortened lifespan and quality of life
🐾 SIMPLE WAYS TO HELP:
✔ Measure meals instead of free-feeding
✔ Limit high-calorie treats (or use healthier alternatives)
✔ Add daily walks or play sessions
✔ Ask your vet about a healthy weight goal for your pet
💬 LET’S TALK:
Do you think your pet is at a healthy weight, or are they working on a fitness journey? Drop a 🐶🐱 below!
And of course… we all know a certain orange cat (cough, Garfield) would strongly disagree with this entire post as he eyes his next plate of lasagna. 🍝😼
At Koch Veterinary Services, we’re here to help your pets live their happiest, healthiest lives—at every stage and every size.

🐶🐾 SMALL DOG AWARENESS MONTH 🐾🐶
From Koch Veterinary Services
It’s Small Dog Awareness Month—and we’re celebrating all the tiny pups with BIG personalities! ❤️
Whether they’re bouncing like popcorn, ruling the couch like royalty, or fitting perfectly in your hoodie pocket, small dogs bring just as much love, energy, and attitude as any large breed. 😄
💡 DID YOU KNOW?
Small dogs can sometimes be more prone to dental disease, luxating patellas (kneecap issues), and weight-related joint stress—making regular wellness care especially important.
🐾 LET’S MAKE IT INTERACTIVE!
Tell us about your small dog in the comments:
1️⃣ Their name
2️⃣ Their weight (bonus if it’s under 20 lbs!)
3️⃣ Their biggest personality trait in ONE word
Example:
“Piper • 8 lbs • bossy” 😆
🐶 BONUS QUESTION:
Do they act like a lap dog… or a full-blown guard dog trapped in a tiny body?
At Koch Veterinary Services, we love caring for pets of all sizes—and the little ones always steal a few extra hearts. 💙

💉 It's Not Too Late to Get Back on Track! 🐾
Life gets busy—we get it! If your pet has fallen behind on their vaccines, it's not too late to pick up where you left off.
Just ask Miss Mia! 🩷 This sweet pup knows that staying up to date on her puppy vaccines is one of the best ways to stay healthy, protected, and ready for all of life's adventures.
Vaccines help protect your pet from serious, preventable diseases and keep them safe while exploring the world, meeting new friends, and enjoying time with the family.
📞 If your puppy, kitten, or adult pet is overdue, give Koch Veterinary Services a call. We'll help create a catch-up vaccination plan that's right for your furry family member.
Because every healthy journey starts with staying protected. 🐶💕

💚🧠 WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY 🧠💚
From Koch Veterinary Services
Today is World Mental Health Day—a reminder that mental health matters every day, for everyone. ❤️
In veterinary medicine and pet care, we see how deeply animals and humans are connected. Pets often bring comfort, routine, and unconditional love into our lives—but caring for animals can also come with emotional highs and lows for both pet owners and veterinary professionals.
That’s why open conversations, support, and compassion are so important.
💡 A SIMPLE REMINDER:
It’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to ask for help. And it’s okay to check in on the people around you.
🐾 LET’S MAKE IT INTERACTIVE:
Drop a 💚 in the comments if your pet has ever helped you through a tough day—or share a small way you take care of your own mental well-being.
At Koch Veterinary Services, we care deeply about both the physical and emotional well-being of the pets and people in our community.
If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 anytime to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

🐾🖤 BLACK CAT AWARENESS 🖤🐾
From Koch Veterinary Services
Could there be a better time for this? October + black cats = the perfect moment to show some love! 🎃🐱
Black cats are often overlooked in shelters simply because of outdated myths or misconceptions—but anyone who has shared their life with one knows they’re just as loving, playful, and full of personality as any other cat. ❤️
✨ Sleek, striking, and full of charm—black cats deserve just as much attention and love as any other pet, and are always ready for a home where they can be appreciated for who they are.
💡 DID YOU KNOW?
Black cats can actually be more difficult to photograph, which is one reason they sometimes get overlooked—but in person, their beauty and personality shine just as brightly as any other pet.
🐾 LET’S MAKE IT FUN:
Drop a 🖤 in the comments if you love black cats—and tell us your black cat’s name! We’d love to see all the creative, classic, and spooky names out there!
At Koch Veterinary Services, we believe every pet deserves a chance to be seen, loved, and adopted—no matter their color.

🐾 Microchip your pet — and don’t let them end up like these two! 😂
You may notice our cat and dog thermometer holders… complete with thermometers where you definitely wouldn’t want one! 🌡️🐱🐶😂
Thankfully, your pet doesn’t need to go through that to get a temperature checked! Our microchips can also read your pet’s temperature, giving our veterinary team another convenient way to monitor their health.
And, of course, a microchip provides permanent identification to help your pet find their way home if they’re ever lost. ❤️
📞 Call Koch Veterinary Services at 717-500-2670 to learn more about microchipping and our temperature-reading microchips!
Because we’d much rather have the thermometer stay with the technology than… well, you know. 😉🐾

🐾💡 A**L GLAND HEALTH: WHEN TO CALL YOUR VET 💡🐾
From Koch Veterinary Services
It might not be the most comfortable topic—but it’s an important one for your pet’s health and comfort! ❤️
A**l glands are small scent glands located near your pet’s re**um, and while they usually empty naturally, sometimes they can become full, irritated, or infected.
🐶🐱 SIGNS IT MAY BE TIME FOR A VET VISIT:
🚨 Scooting (dragging their bottom on the ground)
🚨 Excessive licking or biting near the tail area
🚨 Strong, fishy odor that seems unusual or persistent
🚨 Swelling, redness, or signs of discomfort at re**um
💡 DID YOU KNOW?
Some pets never have issues, while others may need routine expression or medical evaluation due to anatomy, diet, or underlying conditions.
🚫 IMPORTANT:
Avoid trying to express a**l glands at home unless properly trained—incorrect technique can cause pain or injury.
🐾 LET’S TALK:
Have you ever noticed your pet scooting or acting uncomfortable? Drop a 🐶 or 🐱 below if this is something you’ve experienced!
At Koch Veterinary Services, we’re here to help keep even the less-talked-about parts of pet health comfortable and stress-free.
