Is your dog slowing down—or simply getting older? 🐾

Some “slowing with age” is normal. But if your dog …
Hesitates before jumping
Stops wanting walks
Tires sooner than usual
Seems stiff after resting

… it may be age-related.

We can manage joint pain and other medical conditions more successfully when caught early.

Tap the call button to reach us with any questions. We are here to help through all of your pet’s stages. 🧡

Has your cat started:

Walking away from the food bowl?
Eating more slowly?
Chewing on one side?
Preferring soft food over kibble?

These subtle changes may indicate dental discomfort and other medical issues. It's worth mentioning at your pet's next visit—or sooner if the change is sudden.

At Academy Animal Care, you are family … and we are here to help:

“The Little Things We Notice” 🐾
Is panting normal in dogs and cats?

Dogs may pant after exercise, when they’re excited, stressed, or simply trying to cool down. But heavy or unusual panting—especially when your pet is resting—can sometimes indicate pain, overheating, anxiety, or an underlying health problem.

Unlike dogs, cats rarely pant. Panting in a cat should always be taken seriously and may indicate respiratory distress, overheating, or another medical emergency.

If your pet’s panting seems excessive, sudden, or out of character, it’s worth paying attention and checking with your veterinarian.

We're here if you need us!

Thank you, Melissa. We’re so grateful you trusted us with your pet’s care, and we appreciate your support of Dr. Adams and our AAC care team. We love that you felt heard, supported, and confident in the care we provided. We appreciate your choosing Academy Animal Care ... and hugs to your pets! 🧡

Does your dog announce every visitor—human or animal—with an enthusiastic bark or howl? You may have a hound!

Originally bred to track game by scent or sight, hounds are known for their incredible noses (or keen eyesight), determination, and loyal personalities. Whether they're following a curious scent or curling up with you on the couch, hounds make wonderful companions.

Common health considerations:
🐾Prone to ear infections, especially breeds with long, floppy ears
🐾Some breeds, including Beagles and Dachshunds, may have a higher risk of back injuries

Do you share your home with a hound? Whether tiny or towering ... we'd love to meet to them! Post a photo or drop their name in the comments and tell us what you 🧡 most about your pet’s personality.
