Here’s a sneak peek at things getting a little 🔥SPICY🔥 at SMPMC! 🌶️👀

Our team took on the Aches & Flames Hot Sauce Challenge with Elanco Animal Health, putting their heat tolerance to the test while bringing attention to osteoarthritis pain in dogs. 🐶🔥

Who handled the heat? Who immediately regretted their choices? 😂 Stay tuned for the full challenge!

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month 🐾

Our pets can’t tell us when something hurts, and sometimes the signs of pain can be easy to miss. Changes in movement, appetite, sleep, activity level, or behavior may be their way of telling us something isn’t right.

Recognizing these subtle changes early can make a big difference in your pet’s comfort and quality of life. If you notice something different about your pet, the team at Santa Monica Pet Medical Center is here to help. 💙

🐾 Meet Bambi! 💙

At 13 weeks old and just 2.78 lbs, little Bambi came in for a first visit with Dr. Hillebrand. 🩺🐶

And according to the board, we already know what matters most to Bambi: their cat brother. 🐱💕

With that fluffy coat, tiny paws, and those eyes, Bambi definitely knew how to work the camera for a first visit. 📸

Welcome to the SMPMC family, Bambi! We can’t wait to watch you grow. 💙

🌈🐾 Today, we remember the pets who left paw prints on our hearts.

On Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, we honor the dogs, cats, and other beloved companions who brought so much love, comfort, and happiness into our lives.

Their time with us never feels long enough, but the memories, little routines, and moments we shared with them stay with us forever. 💙

If you’re remembering a special pet today, we’d love for you to share their name or a favorite memory in the comments. 🌈

We may be a day late, but around here, every day feels like National Dog Day. 🐶💙

Yesterday was National Dog Day, and we couldn’t let it pass without celebrating all the amazing pups who walk through our doors. From first visits and puppy kisses to our longtime patients we’ve watched grow over the years, we’re lucky to spend our days caring for so many incredible dogs.

Give your pup an extra treat from all of us at SMPMC! 🐾

☀️ Los Angeles is heating up, and our pets are feeling it too! 🐾

With the current heat wave, it’s especially important to keep an eye on your furry family members. Limit outdoor activity during the hottest parts of the day, keep plenty of fresh water available, provide a cool place to rest, and always check the pavement before heading out for a walk.

Keep an eye out for signs of overheating like excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, confusion, or collapse. If you’re concerned your pet may be experiencing heatstroke, seek veterinary care right away.

Stay cool and stay safe, LA! 💙🐶🐱

A little behind-the-scenes look at surgery prep at SMPMC. 🐾💙

Erin and Alison are getting this sweet Maltese ready for his neuter, making sure everything is prepped and that he’s comfortable before his procedure.

There’s a lot that happens behind the scenes before surgery even begins, and our team is there every step of the way to help our patients feel safe and cared for. 🩺🐶

A little teamwork and a lot of gentle care. 💙🐾

Brem and David worked together to give this sweet cat fluids while making sure they felt safe and comfortable throughout the process. Sometimes the quiet, behind-the-scenes moments are the ones that show just how much care goes into every patient at SMPMC.

Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day!

Today we’re celebrating the little house panthers who bring plenty of personality, love, and just the right amount of mischief into our lives. 🐾

Black cats may have been surrounded by myths and superstitions over the years, but we know the truth: they’re just as sweet, silly, cuddly, and lovable as any other cat. 🖤

Have a black cat at home? Tell us their name in the comments! We want to celebrate them today. 🐈‍⬛✨
