Could adoption myths be keeping you from your perfect match? 🐶💙
The right dog may not be the age, breed, or personality you originally pictured. Puppies aren’t always the easiest option, older dogs can learn new skills, and a dog’s time in a shelter doesn’t define how they’ll behave in a home.
Keep an open mind, ask questions, and focus on finding a dog whose needs, energy level, and personality fit your lifestyle. Your perfect match might surprise you!

Senior cats may slow down, but subtle changes can tell us a lot about their health. 🐱💙 As cats age, wellness exams may include kidney and thyroid screening, monitoring for often-overlooked signs of arthritis, and tracking weight changes. Regular senior exams can help uncover concerns early and guide care as their needs change. Schedule your senior cat’s wellness exam today! https://forthuntanimalhospital.com/contact/

If you suspect your pet has been exposed to or ingested something harmful, act quickly but don’t induce vomiting unless a veterinary professional tells you to.
Before calling, have the product label or a clear photo ready, along with your pet’s weight and the approximate time of exposure or ingestion. These details can help your veterinarian determine the safest next steps.
When in doubt, contact your veterinarian or a pet poison service right away. 🐾

🐾 September is Animal Pain Awareness Month. Pets are experts at hiding pain, so subtle changes can be easy to miss. Watch for signs like slowing down on walks, difficulty jumping or climbing stairs, limping or stiffness, changes in appetite, sleeping more than usual, or changes in mood or behavior.
If you notice these signs, schedule a veterinary exam to help keep your pet comfortable and healthy. 💙
