🍂We've got a 'Tuesday Tip' for fall pet safety! Watch out for those pesky ticks! Just because fall is here doesn’t mean that ticks aren’t still lurking. In fact, according to the University of Rhode Island, many species of ticks are active even into the winter and can survive the first frost. Here are some tips to keep your pet tick-free this fall: 👉Don’t let ticks cozy up. Eliminate their favorite environments, such as leaf and garden litter, where ticks can sometimes survive even into winter. 👉Check for ticks frequently. 👉Continue using tick control and repellent products, especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors with your pet enjoying activities like hiking, camping, or hunting. 👉Ask us about regular screening for tick-borne infections. (The Companion Animal Parasite Council recommends screening annually for tick-borne infections.) ❓How are you protecting your pet from ticks?

🍂We've got a 'Tuesday Tip' for fall pet safety! 🍂 👉Beware rat poison and other rodenticides❗ Fall is the time of year when 🐁,🐀, and other rodents start to scurry for warmth. And where do they find it? You guessed it – your home! Be careful when it comes to mouse traps and rodenticides like rat and mouse poison. Nobody wants an infestation of mice, but many poisons that are currently on the market can be very harmful to dogs and cats. Direct ingestion can be deadly. Make sure you talk to your veterinarian about methods of pest control that are safe for your pets. Even if you don’t have a rodent problem or choose to deal with mice and rats humanely using live traps 💙, you never know what methods your neighbors are using. The carcasses of rodents that have been killed by rodenticides can also be dangerous, so if you see the telltale tail dangling from your pet’s mouth, make sure he drops it and keep an eye on him, and if you think your pet has eaten any of the rodent, contact your us or your local animal ER immediately.

Obesity leads to reduced life expectancy, diminished quality of life, chronic inflammation, orthopedic disease, kidney dysfunction, respiratory disorders, cancer, and more. To give our pets the best life possible, we have to help them avoid packing a few extra pounds. If you have questions or concerns about your pet's weight, give us a call at 423-928-7272 to schedule an exam.

🍂We've got a 'Tuesday Tip' for fall pet safety! ⚠️Watch out for antifreeze toxicity In preparing for the winter months ahead, people tend to use fall to winterize their cars. This often involves changing fluids such as antifreeze, which can be deadly for pets. Consider this: one to two teaspoons of the stuff can kill a 10-pound dog! Less can kill a 10-pound cat.1 Part of the problem is ethylene glycol, a substance in antifreeze that has a sickly-sweet smell that entices pets to lap it up. That’s why it’s important to clean up spills immediately and make sure your pets steer clear of the garage while you’re working on your vehicle. Read Pet Health Network's in-depth article to learn more about the dangers of antifreeze and other automotive fluids: https://www.pethealthnetwork.com/dog-health/dog-toxins-poisons/keeping-your-pets-safe-garage-hazards ❓How are you storing common garage hazards?

🍂We've got a 'Tuesday Tip' for fall pet safety! 🍫Beware chocolate and hearty foods The fall and winter parallel our holiday seasons, when we ramp up our intake of hearty, heavy foods and sweets. It’s important to make sure your pets don’t get into any foods that can make them sick; for dogs, this means chocolate, grapes, and raisins are off-limits because they are toxic. 🍗Just because some foods aren’t technically considered toxic to pets doesn’t mean they’re safe. Rich, high-fat foods can cause stomach problems such as diarrhea and gastroenteritis and even more serious conditions like pancreatitis. Also, think about small food items that can be choking hazards, like turkey bones around Thanksgiving. Talk to your us to make sure you know what’s safe and what’s not. ❓Does your pet have an infatuation with no-no human food?

Eating strange objects can be dangerous and lead to foreign body obstruction. Learn what to watch for, including symptoms, in our in-depth article about foreign body ingestion.

📣 November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month! If you’ve been thinking about adding a four-legged-friend to your family, consider opening your home and your heart to an older dog or cat in need.💙 While small kittens and puppies may be adorable, older pets are just as loving and loyal as their younger counterparts. Not to mention, adopting a senior animal companion comes with some cool advantages: 🐾 Grown-up pets don’t require the constant monitoring and training that puppies and kittens do. 🐾 Many are already house-trained. 🐾 Since senior pets are fully grown, you’ll be immediately aware of important information like personality type and grooming requirements, making it easier to choose the perfect pet for your family. ❓Did you adopt a senior pet? Post a photo in the comments below 👇, and share his or her story!

📣 It's National Senior Pet Month! Thanks to better care, pets are living longer now than they ever have before – but as pets get older, they need extra care and attention. Regular veterinary examinations can detect problems in older pets before they become advanced or life-threatening, and improve the chances of a longer and healthier life for your pet. If you have a senior pet (typically 7 years of age for cats and small dogs, 5-6 years of age for larger dog breeds), be sure they're having routine wellness exams - just give us a call at 423-928-7272 to schedule an appointment for your sweet senior pet today!

On the 11th day of Vet-Mas we have 11 Intestinal Parasite Screens! A Intestinal Parasite Screen is a routine veterinary test used to diagnose internal parasites or "worms." The test detects the eggs of mature parasites that live inside the body and pass their eggs to the outside by shedding them into the host's stool. Some of these parasites are worm-like, while others are tiny single-celled organisms. The most common parasites to inhabit a dog’s intestines include roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms, Giardia and coccidia. These parasites can affect your dog in a variety of ways, ranging from simple irritation to life-threatening conditions if left untreated. Some of these parasites can occasionally infect humans as well. We recommend that a intestinal parasite screen is performed twice a year to ensure that your pet is free of parasites. Fortunately parasites are easily prevented with routine testing and continuous preventative measures!

On the 5th day of Vet-Mas we have 5 cats in cones! The dreaded Elizabethan collar, sometimes humorously called the cone of shame, is a protective medical device worn by an animal to prevent the animal from biting or licking at its incisions or wounds as they heal.
On the 6th day of Vet-Mas we have a 6 Month Well Check. During the wellness exam, our doctors will perform a nose-to-tail physical examination where they will: * Look inside the mouth at the gums and teeth * Listen to the heartbeat and lungs * Inspect the coat and skin * Feel the joints and muscles * Use a thermometer to take a temperature reading * Weigh the pet * Palpate the stomach and abdomen to feel for abnormalities The importance of routine veterinary visits cannot be stressed enough. Because our pets cannot tell us when they are feeling blue or under the weather, a veterinary professional must keep tabs on their health to ensure they are able to live a full, happy, and healthy life. Call us today at (423) 928-7272 to schedule your pets 6 month well check today!
On the 7th day of Vet-Mas we have 7 Pet Odor Candles. And to celebrate we are giving one away!

Happy National Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day! Have you ever wondered what your cat is trying to tell you through certain behavior? For example, when your cat pees on your pillow, he’s not trying to get even with you for coming home late. When he scratches your new sofa, he’s not being bad. Because cats have different needs and desires than us and a completely different way of seeing the world, they communicate in ways that we don’t always understand or appreciate. In honor of National Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day, click the link below to read through some important questions that your cat would like to ask you👇 CATSTER.COM It's National Answer Your Cat's Questions Day | Catster
