💧 Happy National Hydration Day! 🐾

Hydration is just as important for our pets as it is for us — especially during the summer months. ☀️

Dehydration and heat-related illness can happen quickly, particularly during outdoor adventures, walks, hikes, and playtime.

A few easy ways to help keep pets hydrated:
💦 Always provide fresh, cool water
🍉 Offer pet-safe hydrating treats like frozen watermelon
🌳 Take breaks in the shade
🚶 Avoid walks during peak afternoon heat
🐶 Watch for signs of overheating like excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, or vomiting

Need a fun enrichment idea?
Check out this DIY frozen watermelon treats featured below — a simple, refreshing snack for hot summer days! 🍉❄️

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and enjoy the summer safely with your pets. 💙

Whether it's an unexpected illness or a sudden injury, our veterinary team is here around the clock to help.

☀️ Happy First Day of Summer! 🐾

Longer days, road trips, cookouts, hikes, lake days… summer is officially here. 💙

But with rising temperatures comes one of the most preventable summer emergencies we see every year: pets left in hot cars.

Even when it “doesn’t feel that hot” outside, temperatures inside a vehicle can become deadly within minutes.

🚗 Cracking the windows does NOT make it safe.
🚗 “Just a few minutes” is often all it takes.
🚗 Heatstroke can happen fast — and become fatal even faster.

If you can’t bring your pet inside with you, the safest choice is to leave them comfortably at home.

Let’s make this a fun, safe summer for everyone — including our four-legged family members. ☀️🐶🐱

Happy Father’s Day to all the pet dads out there! 🐾💙

To the dads who:
🐶 “Didn’t want a dog” but now share their recliner
🐱 Swear they’re not attached while carrying treats in their pockets
🎾 Throw the ball 500 times without complaint
🚗 Take late-night emergency trips
🛏️ Somehow end up with no room left in the bed

Thank you for loving your pets like family — because to them, you are their whole world.

We’d love to see your favorite pet dad photos in the comments today! 👇

Summer can be hard on pets… but it can be especially tough on senior pets. ☀️🐾

If your pet is entering their golden years, warmer temperatures can become more difficult for them to handle than many owners realize.

Senior pets may struggle more with heat because:
💙 Their bodies don’t cool as efficiently
💙 Underlying health conditions can make heat harder to tolerate
💙 Some medications affect temperature regulation
💙 They may not seek water or rest as quickly as younger pets

A few ways to help keep older pets safe this summer:
✔ Keep them indoors during peak heat hours
✔ Always provide fresh, cool water
✔ Stick to shorter walks during cooler parts of the day
✔ Avoid strenuous outdoor activities
✔ Watch closely for excessive panting, weakness, confusion, or reluctance to move
✔ Consider cooling mats or shaded rest areas outdoors

The good news? Senior pets can absolutely still enjoy summer — they may just need a little extra support and monitoring along the way. 💙

We’re officially in peak parasite season. 🦟🐾

June, July, and August are when fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and intestinal parasites are at their MOST active — especially with the heat and humidity of summer.

If your pet is already on consistent prevention:
👏 Keep it up.
Now is NOT the time to skip doses or fall behind.

If your pet isn’t protected yet, this is your reminder to start now.

Here’s why prevention matters:
🕷️ One tick can transmit disease
🦟 One mosquito bite can spread heartworm
🐾 Fleas can turn into a household infestation fast
🪱 Intestinal parasites can cause serious illness in pets (and sometimes people too)

The good news?
Prevention is much easier — and far less expensive — than treatment. 💙

Whether your pet needs flea/tick prevention, heartworm protection, deworming, or a refill, we’re happy to help you find an option that fits your pet and lifestyle.

Summer adventures are always better when your pets are protected. ☀️🐶🐱

When waiting until tomorrow isn't an option, our team is available 24 hours a day for urgent and emergency pet care.

🐾 : Home Sweet Home! 🐾

After his big adventure at NC State College of Veterinary Medicine & Veterinary Hospital, we’re thrilled to share that Miles has officially made it home! 💙🏡

Our brave clinic cat handled his procedure like an absolute superstar and is now settling back into his favorite place—with his favorite people.

Of course, no homecoming would be complete without a special surprise! Miles was welcomed back in style with a brand-new “Welcome Home” bandanna made by Thistle Hill Pet Treats, because every king deserves the royal treatment after a big week. 👑🐱

While it will take a few weeks to see the full effects of his radiation therapy, we’re hopeful and grateful for this opportunity to help improve his quality of life.

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible team at NC State College of Veterinary Medicine for the compassionate care they provided every step of the way. We also want to thank everyone who has followed Miles’ journey, sent well wishes, and cheered him on from afar.

For now, Miles’ plans include plenty of rest, extra cuddles, and reminding everyone that he’s still in charge around here. 🐾

Welcome home, Miles—we’ve missed you!

🐾 : Mission Accomplished! 🐾

The king of the clinic has officially conquered NC State College of Veterinary Medicine & Veterinary Hospital! 👑🐱

We’re happy to share that Miles’ procedure went well, and the team is optimistic about his outcome. While it may take a few weeks to see the full effects of the radiation therapy, everything went smoothly, and our favorite clinic cat handled it like the champion he is. 💙

As you can see from these photos, Miles wasted no time making himself at home and reminding everyone exactly who was in charge. From exploring the halls to supervising the staff, he truly embraced his role as honorary clinic manager.

Miles is now out of recovery, receiving lots of love and care, and getting ready to head home with Dr. Addison. We are looking forward to sharing updates as he continues his journey.

A huge thank you to the incredible team at NC State College of Veterinary Medicine & Veterinary Hospital for the compassionate care, thoughtful updates, and dedication you’ve shown Miles throughout this process. We are so grateful for the opportunity to participate in this groundbreaking study and for the kindness you’ve extended to both Miles and Dr. Addison.

Please keep the positive thoughts coming as Miles settles back in and begins the healing process. ❤️

More updates to come!

🐾💙
