It would be so much easier
for pet parents and vets if our dogs could talk and tell us what is wrong. Fortunately, our abili- ty to understand clinical signs and symptoms in pets has improved dramatically over the past twenty-five years. But until we develop a reliable means of communication, we must rely on the non-verbal cues from pets, the observations of pet parents, and the training of vet- erinary caregivers to understand diseases like pancreatitis. If your dog is vomiting, carefully observe his behavior, seek vet- erinary care when vomiting persists or worsens over a 12- hour period, and do not be afraid to ask questions about diagnostic testing and treatment plans. Pet parents are a key part- ner in providing health care to our furry family members. Your input and participation are essential to successful medical outcomes!

pet, you can use it as a topper on food,” said Dr. Karen Becker. “For an older pet with a declining appetite, feeding bone broth provides very concentrated nourishment and helps keep the GI tract functioning.” Bone broth, by itself, is not a balanced
diet. Dogs who are histamine-intolerant may not do well consuming bone broth. When in doubt, it’s a good idea to check with your vet- erinarian before changing your pet’s diet.
“Our bone broth is the nutrient-dense stock liquid made from simmering raw organic or grass fed bones at low heat over 24 hours,”
said Carole M. Brooks, founder and CEO of Orlando’s Pawsitively Pure Dog Food. “It is packed full of amino acids, vitamins and min- erals and is considered a nutrition powerhouse for dogs. Soothing for the gut, bone broth is especially ideal for sick dogs and senior dogs.” For more information call 407.450.6151 or

How Important Is Annual
Lab Testing & Bloodwork? During the annual wellness checkup on your pets, we perform a thorough physical examination on the outside. But, we cannot see what’s going on inside your pet. That’s why we recommend yearly bloodwork for all pets, starting at age one. It will give us important information about seemingly healthy pets, and let us know how the internal organs are functioning.
Early disease detection and proactive approaches will help ensure our pets live longer and better lives. Put bloodwork on your 2021 list of things to accomplish for your peace of mind and your pet's well-being.
