🦎💚 Happy Reptile Awareness Day! 💚🦎

Did you know improper husbandry can lead to serious health problems in reptiles?

🚨 MBD (Metabolic Bone Disease) is one common concern and can be caused by inadequate UVB, calcium, vitamin D3, nutrition, or improper temperatures.

Watch for:
-Weak or bowed limbs
-Swollen joints
-Weakness or lethargy
-Poor appetite
-Bone or jaw deformities

The best treatment is prevention! 💚
Make sure your reptile has the right lighting, diet, supplements, temperature, and humidity for their species.

🦎 Healthy habitat = happy reptile!

🐾 Is your pet getting the right amount of food? 🐾

Whether your pet is underweight, at an ideal weight, or overweight, their feeding amount should be based on their ideal weight, activity level, and individual needs. Measuring meals, limiting treats, and monitoring body condition can make a big difference! ❤️

If you’re unsure how much your dog or cat should be eating, ask us for a personalized feeding recommendation. 🐶🐱

Healthy weight = healthier, happier pets! 💚
