9/11 Day began with one simple yet powerful idea: Transforming the anniversary of one of our darkest days in history into America’s largest day of doing good.

NAAH is doing our part by hosting a Food Drive during September for Colbert County Animal Shelter as well as Florence Lauderdale Animal Services. Bring by a bag of food and get a FREE punch in your NAAH loyalty card, normally reserved only for an office visit!

Our pets can't tell us when something hurts, and unfortunately, they can be very good at hiding their discomfort. September is 𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 brings an important reminder to notice even subtle changes in your pet's behavior, mobility, and daily routine.

🐾 Limping or difficulty getting up
🐾 Reluctance to climb stairs, jump, or play
🐾 Sleeping more or becoming less active
🐾 Excessive licking of a particular area
🐾 Changes in appetite
🐾 Whining, whimpering, or unusual vocalization
🐾 Becoming withdrawn, restless, or irritable
🐾 Difficulty getting comfortable

❤️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀? 𝗪𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽!

At 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 + 𝗣𝗲𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁, we offer a variety of options to help identify the source of your pet's discomfort and develop an individualized plan to improve their quality of life.

Depending on your pet's needs, treatment may include traditional pain management as well as services such as 𝗔𝗰𝘂𝗽𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆. These therapies may help manage chronic pain, arthritis, mobility problems, recovery from injuries or surgery, and other conditions.
