Most pet emergencies are obvious, but what about the not-so-obvious dangers of owning a pet? We’ve put together 5 things we recommend all pet owners to avoid.

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!

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!

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.”

Thank you to the many friends and neighbors that joined us for our open house event at BLVD Vet Lakeview Lincoln Park! It was a beautiful sunny day filled with lots of treats and good times.
