Some dogs with allergic dermatitis itch all the time. Others itch only during certain times of the year. Whether living with seasonal or chronic allergies, itchy dogs deserve relief. Talk to us about how to get your dog’s itch and inflammation under control.

Did you know cats can actually sense the season changing before you do? 🍂

Shorter daylight hours trigger shifts in your cat's behavior, appetite, and sleep patterns. You might notice them eating a little more, sleeping longer, or seeking out warmer spots around the house as October sets in. It's completely normal and just their body responding to the change in light. 🐱

It’s World Animal Day! 🌎🐾

Sending our love to all animals big and small! Just as much and we love our friendly pets, we love wildlife too! It is important to know that wildlife animals are like our own in some ways. However, it is important not to habituate them! This means feeding wildlife and making "friends" is highly frowned upon in wildlife medicine. If we see a pet in distress, make sure you call a local wildlife center such as Willowbrook Wildlife center before touching or moving any babies or adults!
Social cues aside, many wildlife animals can contract intestinal parasites just like our pets. It is important to be weary of what your pets eat in the garden! Ingestion of wildlife f***s can also lead to intestinal parasites of our pets!
We can love all animals and celebrate them, but it is important to keep in mind different animals have different lifestyles:)

Those eyes have seen a thousand adventures and they're ready for a thousand more. 🐾🤍

Senior dogs have this quiet, steady kind of energy that is impossible not to love. As the season changes and the air gets crisp, there's something extra special about slowing down and just being present with an older pup. 🍂
