Pumpkin season is officially here.

If your pet wants in on the fall fun, stick with plain pumpkin in small amounts. Pumpkin pie, lattes, and anything loaded with sugar or spice are better left to the humans.

We're here to bust myths on car safety this summer.

MYTH: If there is a breeze and you keep your car window cracked your pet is safe in the car from heat related illness.
FACT: Car temperatures can still rapidly climb despite a breeze or windows being left open, resulting in heat stroke or even death. The safest option for your pet is to keep them with you in a cool air-conditioned space or leave them home to lounge safely!

Did you know your dog can get swimmer’s ear too? Some signs of ear infection include scratching, head shaking, and rubbing their head.
If your dog is a swimmer, you should always have ear cleaner on hand, which prescribed cleaners are designed to dry out the ear canal and prevent infection. Need to get the right ear cleaner for your Olympic swimmer or concerned they may have an ear infection currently? Call us today to schedule a visit!

Warmer weather is here! When walking your dog one of the best quick tips you can use is the 5 second rule. If the concrete is too hot to hold the back of your hand on for 5 seconds, it is too hot for their sensitive paws! Look into options like dog shoes or walking your dogs in cooler shaded areas with grass during the summer.
