😸 A healthy cat needs more than a full food bowl!

For Happy Healthy Cat Month, think about ways you can add a little more enrichment to your cat’s day.

🪶 Make time for interactive play
🧗 Give them safe places to climb and explore
🪟 Create a window perch for watching the world
🧩 Try puzzle feeders or new toys
😴 Make sure they have quiet spaces to relax
❤️ And, of course, keep up with routine veterinary care!

Mental stimulation and physical activity are important parts of helping our cats live happy, healthy lives.

🐱 Is your cat 10 or older?

It may be time to add annual senior screening to their preventative care routine!

Throughout September and October, Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital is offering 47% OFF our regular Senior Screen, in partnership with IDEXX Laboratories.

Even when senior pets seem perfectly healthy, screening can uncover subtle changes and help your veterinarian identify potential concerns earlier.

🎃🐾 Fall bucket list…but make it DOG FRIENDLY!

Cooler days mean more opportunities to get outside with your best four-legged friend.

Add a few of these to your fall list:

🍂 Take a scenic walk
📸 Have a fall photo shoot
🥾 Explore a dog-friendly trail
🧺 Pack a picnic together
🎃 Visit a dog-friendly fall event
🚗 Take a Saturday drive somewhere new

Responsible Dog Ownership Month is a great reminder that our dogs need more than food and a comfy bed — they need exercise, stimulation, socialization and time with us, too.

Now the important question: Does your dog need a pumpkin spice pup cup? 😂🐶

🇺🇸🐾 September 11 — We Remember

On September 11, 2001, dogs served alongside first responders in the days and weeks following the attacks. Search and rescue dogs worked tirelessly at Ground Zero and the Pentagon, while therapy dogs provided comfort to first responders, survivors, and families during an unimaginable time.

Their service is a powerful reminder of the extraordinary bond between people and dogs — and the many ways these animals serve, protect and comfort us.

During National Service Dog Month, we honor the working dogs of 9/11, their handlers, the first responders and all those whose lives were forever changed that day.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

When was your cat’s last checkup?

If you had to think about it, September’s Happy Healthy Cat Month is the perfect reminder! 🐱

Even indoor cats benefit from regular veterinary care. Routine exams let us monitor weight, dental health, and overall wellness—and address potential concerns early.

Your cat may not appreciate the carrier ride, but taking care of their health is one of the best ways to give them many happy years with you. ❤️
