Healthy Pets Veterinary Care

🌻 One week of love can make all the difference. 🌻

Sunflower was found as a tiny neonatal kitten in a Wendy's parking lot on June 12th. Just one week later, he's already growing, getting stronger, and showing off more of his personality every day. 💛

His rescuers quickly fell in love and decided to keep him, giving this little fighter the forever home he deserves.

We're so proud of how far Sunflower has come in just seven days. 🌻🐱

✨ Stay tuned for more Sunflower updates as he continues to grow and thrive! ✨

🦷✨ Getting Ready for Dental Month! ✨🦷

August is Dental Month at Healthy Pets Veterinary Care, and we're making sure our team is ready to provide the best dental care possible for your pets!

Last week, we had the privilege of learning from veterinary dental specialist Ren, who provided hands-on training on the importance of properly maintaining and sharpening dental instruments, as well as utilizing dental radiographs to identify problems hiding beneath the gumline.

From our doctors and technicians to our assistants and reception team, everyone had the opportunity to learn and grow together.

And the best part? During Dental Month in August, we're offering **10% OFF dental cleanings!** 🐾

Give us a call to schedule your pet's dental evaluation and help keep those tails wagging and smiles shining! 😁🐶🐱

🐾 Meet Ginny! 🐾

This sweet girl came to see Dr. Webb and Giana through Cavalier Rescue of Florida , and we couldn’t be more impressed with the incredible care and dedication they provide to their rescue dogs.

Ginny recently visited us for a comprehensive wellness evaluation, including bloodwork, urinalysis, annual parasite screening, and vaccine titer testing. She is also already under the care of a dermatologist to help address her skin concerns—and just look at her now! She is looking absolutely beautiful. ❤️

A special shoutout to Ginny’s amazing foster mom, who has been doing a wonderful job helping her gain confidence, feel safe, and show off her loving personality. Watching Ginny continue to open up and become her happy, affectionate self has been such a joy.

We are so grateful for rescue organizations like Cavalier Rescue of Florida and dedicated foster families who go above and beyond to give dogs like Ginny the second chance they deserve. Thank you for trusting Dr. Webb and Giana to be part of Ginny’s healthcare journey! 🐶💕

🦷🐾 What's Hiding Beneath the Gumline? 🐾🦷

One of the biggest reasons veterinary dental procedures require anesthesia is so we can safely take full-mouth dental X-rays.

Just like the tip of an iceberg, what we can see above the gumline is only part of the picture. In fact, nearly 60% of a pet's tooth structure lies below the gumline, where problems such as bone loss, tooth root abscesses, fractures, and resorptive lesions can develop without any visible signs.

Without anesthesia, obtaining these diagnostic X-rays would not be possible. Dental radiographs allow us to evaluate the health of the tooth roots and surrounding bone, helping us identify painful dental disease that would otherwise go unnoticed.

Many pets continue eating and acting normal despite significant dental pain, making these X-rays an invaluable part of your pet's oral health care.

At Healthy Pets Veterinary Care, every anesthetic dental procedure is about more than just cleaning teeth—it's about getting a complete picture of your pet's dental health and ensuring they're as comfortable and pain-free as possible. 💙

🐾🖤 Meet Phoenix: Our Extra-Special Maine C**n! 🖤🐾

Say hello to Phoenix, one of our favorite fluffy visitors! 😍 This gorgeous Maine C**n isn't just known for her stunning looks and impressive ear tufts—she's also polydactyl!

What does that mean? 🤔

Polydactyl cats are born with extra toes! 🐾 Instead of the typical 18 toes, these unique felines have additional digits on one or more paws, giving them those adorable "mitten paws" or "thumbs." While it may look unusual, being polydactyl is a harmless genetic trait and doesn't typically affect a cat's health or mobility.

In fact, many people believe those extra toes make cats even better climbers and hunters! 🧗‍♀️🐱

Phoenix certainly wears her extra toes with pride, and we can't get enough of those giant paws and majestic Maine C**n charm. ❤️

Drop a 🐾 in the comments if you've ever met a polydactyl cat!

🐾💕 Tiny Patient Alert! 💕🐾

Can you believe Shadow is only 4 weeks old? 🥹🐱

This tiny bundle of purrs came in for a visit today and completely stole our hearts. At just four weeks old, kittens are growing fast, learning about the world, and relying on lots of love and care to help them thrive.

Whether they're exploring for the first time, perfecting their pounce, or melting hearts with those big eyes, every kitten deserves a healthy start to life. 🩺❤️

We think it's safe to say this little one wins the award for Cutest Patient of the Day! 🏆🐾

Drop a ❤️ below if this tiny face made your day a little brighter!

🐱💕

🍩 National Donut Day? We'd say this patient takes the cake... er, donut! 🍩

This sweet pup came in rocking the most adorable donut collar, and we couldn't let National Donut Day pass without sharing a little smile. 😎🐾

While recovery collars may not be the tastiest treat, they help keep our furry friends safe and healing after procedures, injuries, and surgeries. If they can look this cute while recovering, even better!

Drop a 🍩 in the comments if your pet has ever rocked a cone (or a donut) of shame!
