As the warm Hawaiian summer sets in, our pets love spending more time outdoors, joining us for family adventures, beach walks, or even just lounging in the backyard. While the sunshine brings joy, it also brings hidden dangers for pets.
As pet owners, we all want our furry companions to live long, happy, and healthy lives. While regular wellness exams and vaccinations are essential, there’s another crucial part of preventive care that often goes overlooked: routine bloodwork.
Living in Hawaii means sunshine, lush landscapes, and warm temperatures year-round. While this tropical climate is ideal for outdoor adventures with your pet, it's also the perfect environment for fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes to thrive.
Cats are known for their cool and composed demeanor, but that does not mean they are immune to stress. In fact, many cats experience anxiety, though it often appears in ways we might not expect.
When your pet needs surgery, it’s natural to feel anxious. Whether it’s a routine spay or neuter or a more complex procedure, preparation and proper care can help ensure a smoother experience and recovery.
As dogs get older or develop chronic health conditions, it is common for them to experience joint pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility. While traditional treatments such as medication and surgery can provide relief, many pet owners are now exploring natural and holistic options to support their dog’s health. Acupuncture is one of these alternatives, offering a trusted method that helps reduce pain and inflammation while supporting overall wellness.
Your home may feel like a safe haven, but everyday items can pose serious health risks to your pets. Dogs and cats are naturally curious, often investigating the world with their noses and mouths, which can lead to accidental exposure to harmful substances. At Pet Hospitals of Hawaii in Waipahu, we believe prevention and quick action are key when it comes to pet poisoning. Here's what you need to know about common household toxins and what to do if your pet is exposed.
As pets in the Makai and Kailua communities grow older, many begin to experience joint discomfort due to arthritis. This common condition can affect both dogs and cats (especially those over the age of seven) and often impacts their ability to move comfortably and enjoy daily activities. By recognizing the early signs and taking a proactive approach to management, pet owners can help their pets stay active and happy well into their senior years.
When your dog is in pain or struggling with mobility, finding a gentle and effective treatment is a top priority. At Pet Hospitals of Hawaii, we are proud to offer laser therapy as a non-invasive solution that promotes healing and provides relief for many common conditions. But what exactly can laser therapy treat in dogs?
Caring for a pet means being prepared for both the joyful moments and the unexpected ones. While we often plan for things like routine check-ups and vaccinations, sudden illnesses or injuries can take us by surprise.
