There are three main types of allergies in vetmed: fleas, food, and environmental. In this article, we are focusing on environmental allergies. There are proven techniques and trials veterinarians use to determine which allergies pets have, so if you have concerns that your pet may have allergies, please contact us to develop a treatment plan.

You may have seen reports of an outbreak of canine respiratory infection. Here’s what we know so far.

As your cat ages, you may notice changes in their mobility. They might become less inclined to jump onto high surfaces, lose enthusiasm for toys, groom themselves less meticulously, or simply spend most of their day lounging in their favorite nap spots. These signs could be indicators of discomfort, suggesting that your kitty may have developed osteoarthritis (OA), a condition that thankfully can be managed with veterinary care!

Depending on the species, our pets can be very good at hiding their pain. Showing pain puts a wild animal at risk, so if a painful or hurt animal wants to survive they need to hide signs of pain from those around them. Take a look at a few of the ways you can spot pain at home.

In our latest blog, we discuss the benefits of routine wellness testing during your pet's annual visits.

It’s no surprise that Frenchies are the #1 most popular dog breed of 2022, especially since Winston the French Bulldog won Best in Show at the 2022 National Dog Show!

Because of their brachycephalic build and small frame, French Bulldogs are prone to several different health conditions. At BLVD, we can help you to care for your french bulldog and give them a long, happy life!

As a follow up to our Senior Visits 101 blog, we wanted to share some things to look out for at home! Changes caught early can help prevent the progression of diseases that cause our pets pain and discomfort--the diagnosis doesn’t have to be “they're just getting older.”

Check out our Senior Visits 101 blog where we discuss at what age your pet is considered a senior, what is different about a senior exam and what services we recommend for our senior pets.
