🐾 **September is National Pet Insurance Month!** 🐾

We all hope our pets will stay healthy and never need unexpected medical care—but accidents and illnesses can happen, even when we're doing everything right.

That's why planning ahead matters. ❤️

At Animal Clinic of Mandarin, we work with **Trupanion** to help pet parents prepare for eligible unexpected veterinary expenses. Having coverage in place can provide peace of mind and may give you more flexibility when important medical decisions need to be made.

Pet insurance isn't about expecting something bad to happen. **It's about being prepared if it does.**

And remember: pet insurance generally does not cover pre-existing conditions, so exploring your options while your pet is healthy can be an important part of planning for their future care.

🐶🐱 Have questions about Trupanion or how pet insurance can fit into your pet's healthcare plan? We're happy to help with general questions, and Trupanion can provide the details of your individual policy.

Did you know? Piglets are born with almost no body fat and rely entirely on huddling together for warmth in their first weeks of life. 🐷

That instinct to pile up doesn't fully go away. Even older pigs will seek out warmth and company when temperatures drop, which is worth keeping in mind as September nights start to cool down.

Making sure your pigs have dry bedding and a draft-free space heading into fall is one of the simplest things you can do for their comfort and their feed conversion. ☺️

Unexpected illnesses and injuries can happen to any pet—even the healthiest ones. 🐾

Pet insurance can help make those situations less stressful by helping cover the cost of unexpected veterinary care.

Many pet owners choose Trupanion because it focuses on coverage for illnesses and injuries and may even pay veterinary hospitals directly at checkout in many cases.

Benefits may include:
• Coverage for unexpected illnesses and injuries
• Help with diagnostics, surgery, and hospitalization
• Direct payment to veterinary clinics in many situations
• Peace of mind when your pet needs care

The best time to enroll is when pets are young and healthy, before medical conditions develop.

If you have questions about pet insurance or want to learn more about your options, our team is always happy to help. 💙🐶🐱

🐶 **Your dog can’t tell you their ears hurt—but their behavior can.** 👂

Is your dog constantly shaking their head, scratching their ears, or rubbing their ears on the furniture? Maybe you've noticed a **funky smell or discharge** coming from their ears.

These can all be signs of an ear problem or infection.

Ear infections can be caused by yeast, bacteria, allergies, moisture, foreign material, and other underlying conditions. Because different causes require different treatments, it's important to have your veterinarian examine the ears rather than simply reaching for leftover medication at home.

🚩 **Signs to watch for:**
• Head shaking
• Ear scratching
• Red or swollen ears
• Unusual odor
• Ear discharge
• Sensitivity or pain

If something doesn't seem right, don't wait for your pup to be uncomfortable. **We can help!** ❤️

☀️ Heatstroke in pets can happen faster than you think — especially during hot and humid Florida days.

Knowing the early warning signs could save your pet’s life. Watch for:
🐾 Excessive panting
🐾 Drooling
🐾 Weakness or lethargy
🐾 Vomiting
🐾 Bright red gums

Never leave pets in parked cars, avoid midday walks, and always provide fresh water and shade. If you think your pet may be overheating, seek veterinary care immediately.

We’re excited to share that Animal Clinic of Mandarin now offers Cherry Payment Plans to help make veterinary care more affordable for our clients.

Cherry allows you to split the cost of your pet’s care into smaller monthly payments instead of paying the full amount upfront. The application takes just a few minutes, uses a soft credit check (so it does NOT affect your credit score), and you can choose the payment plan that works best for your budget. Some clients even qualify for 0% interest plans.

Cherry can be used for exams, dentals, surgery, sick visits, diagnostics, and more—so you never have to delay care your pet needs.

To apply, scan the QR code in our office or visit our website, then call us to schedule your pet’s appointment.

We’re happy to help answer any questions you have!

Back to school season looks a little different on a farm. 🌾

The lessons these kids are getting right now, patience, responsibility, gentleness, the understanding that animals depend on you showing up consistently, those don't come from a classroom.

September is a good reminder of why so many farm families feel strongly about keeping the next generation close to the animals and the work. 🙌
