Animal Pain Awareness Month is a reminder that pets may hide discomfort while still needing support. Regular veterinary care helps identify pain early and improve quality of life through proper treatment and preventive care. If your pet seems off, don’t wait. Schedule an exam with our team to support lasting pet wellness.

We are so grateful that Stoneledge was a part of Dr. Durand’s veterinary journey for these past four years. His compassion and genuine care for his patients have made a difference to so many pets, families, and all of us here at the clinic.
While we’re sad to see him go, we know that sometimes growth means stepping forward into something new.
Wishing you all the best, Dr. Durand!�🐾❤️ The Stoneledge Team

🧡 Happy Ginger Cat Appreciation Day! 🐈

Today we're celebrating the bold, lovable personalities of ginger cats! Here are a few fun facts:

🐾 Most ginger cats are male, about 75-80%!

🐾 Their orange coat comes from a unique gene linked to the X chromosome.

🐾 Ginger cats can have stripes, swirls, or spots, but they're almost always tabbies.

🐾 Their eye colors are often gold, amber, or green, making them extra striking.

Whether your orange feline is playful, cuddly, or a little mischievous, today is the perfect day to celebrate them.

Please keep in mind that we will be closed Monday September 7th in observance of Labor Day.
Be sure to plan ahead for medication and food pick-ups!

When pets start scratching, fleas are often the first thing people think of, but they’re far from the only cause of itching.
Allergies, skin infections, dry skin, food sensitivities, and environmental triggers like pollen or grass can all lead to persistent scratching, licking, and discomfort, even when no fleas are present.
Because many skin conditions look similar, identifying the root cause is the best first step toward relief. ✨

In honor of International Dog Day, we're celebrating all the ways our canine companions communicate with us! 🐶💜

Did you know a wagging tail doesn't always mean a dog is happy? Dogs may wag their tails when they're excited, nervous, or unsure. Understanding your dog's body language is an important part of pet wellness and helps strengthen the bond you share.

Here's to learning more about the dogs we love every day. 🐾

Vaccinating your pet doesn't just protect them.

It helps protect:
🐶 Pets at the dog park
🐱 Pets at boarding facilities
🏠 Pets in your neighborhood
❤️ The entire pet community

Together, we can help reduce the spread of preventable diseases.

Cats are experts at hiding signs of illness, which is why routine veterinary care is so important. 🐱 Regular wellness exams help detect health issues early and keep your cat feeling their best year-round.

Take the next step in your pet’s preventive care and schedule your cat’s appointment today!
