Did you know pets can get sunburned just like people?

Pets with light-colored fur, thin coats, or exposed skin are especially at risk during sunny summer days.

Sunburn can be painful and may increase the risk of skin damage over time. Limiting direct sun exposure, providing shade, and avoiding peak afternoon heat can help keep pets safe and comfortable.

We are trying to help find a home for Pearl! She is 8 weeks old roughly and already showing her personality. Pearl is very curious, she jumped around the exam room and checking out all the new things😸 She loves exploring, following her people around the house, and making sure she’s involved in absolutely everything.

This chatty girl always has something to say but when playtime is over, she’s happiest curled up beside you, all snuggled up close by, especially if she gets to be curled up in a blanket!

If you’re looking for a playful companion who also doubles as a cuddle expert, Pearl may be your perfect match! We’d be happy to help get you in contact with her owners for more information. 😊

Happy National Pet Week! Each day of this week celebrates a theme that raises awareness of responsible pet ownership. Today’s theme is “Plan for their care: Give them a lifetime of love.” Thanks to better care, pets are living longer now than they ever have before—and as pets get older, they need extra care and attention. Regular veterinary examinations can detect problems in older pets before they become advanced or life-threatening. They also can improve your pet's chances for a longer and healthier life. Learn what's "normal" and what may signal a reason for concern about an aging pet.

Happy National Pet Week! Each day of this week celebrates a theme that raises awareness of responsible pet ownership. Today’s theme is “Love your pet? See your vet!” Regular preventive care is critical to keep pets healthy and improve both quality and length of life. It also can save owners a great deal of money in the long run. Don’t wait to take your pet to the veterinarian only when it’s visibly sick or injured. Pets often hide signs of illness, and regular check-ups are vital to catching health problems early. Early treatment means better health for your pet.

Happy National Pet Week! Each day of this week celebrates a theme that raises awareness of responsible pet ownership. Today’s theme is ”Nutrition and exercise matter.” An estimated 52.7% of dogs and 57.9% cats in the United States are overweight or obese. Many people face the same issue, and the AVMA encourages pet owners to get regular exercise—with their pets! This improves cardiovascular health, helps both pets and people maintain a healthy weight, supports good mental health for both owner and pet, and strengthens the human-animal bond.
