PAWS Veterinary Center

Mylo & Kida have their eyes on the weekend… and they can see it getting closer! 👀🐱🐱💕

These sweet sisters are taking full advantage of the views from our Feline Focus windows, bird watching, soaking up the sunshine, and keeping tabs on everything happening outside. 🐦☀️

Just one of the little ways our Feline Focus space helps make vet visits feel a little more comfortable (and entertaining!) for our feline friends. 💛

Happy almost-weekend from Mylo & Kida! 🐾

🐙 We think we have an official PAWS fan favorite! 🐾💜

Linus had plenty of options during his visit, but apparently the purple octopus was the obvious choice. 😂 After seeing more than one patient fall in love with this little guy, we’re starting to think he deserves his own spot on the PAWS team!

Providing toys, treats, and other comfort items is just one of the ways we try to make veterinary visits a little more fun and a lot less stressful. ❤️

And yes… since our patients clearly enjoy sharing their favorite toys, all of our toys are cleaned and sanitized regularly between use! 🧼✨

10/10 choice, Linus. 🐙💜

🐱💙 Happy International Cat Day! 💙🐱

At PAWS, we believe our feline friends deserve veterinary care in an environment designed just for them. That’s why we’re so proud of our Feline Focus section of the hospital, a calm, quiet space created with cats in mind.

From cozy window perches and cat-friendly exam rooms to minimizing stress every step of the way, our goal is to help every cat feel as comfortable as possible while receiving the veterinary care they need. We know that a calmer visit leads to a better experience for both cats and their families.

Today, we’re celebrating all the curious, cuddly, playful, and wonderfully unique cats who trust us with their care. Thank you for letting us be part of their journey. 🧡🐈

Happy International Cat Day from all of us at PAWS! 🐾

🌩️ PAWS Product of the Month: Tranquillium Chews! 🐶💜

Monsoon season is here, and while we may enjoy the rain, thunder, lightning, and strong winds can be overwhelming for many dogs.

Tranquillium Chews are designed to help promote a sense of calm during occasional stressful situations without excessive drowsiness. For the best results, they’re often most effective when given before a storm begins, if possible.

If your pup struggles with storm anxiety, stop by and chat with one of our Client Service Representatives! We’d be happy to help you determine if Tranquillium Chews are a good option for your furry family member.

Let’s help your pets weather Tucson’s monsoon season with a little more comfort and peace of mind. 💜⛈️🐾

🌟 PAWS Pet of the Month: Hampton! 🌟

Meet Hampton, our gentle giant with an even bigger heart. ❤️ This lovable Bernedoodle has become an expert cuddle buddy, loyal adventure companion, and professional tennis ball enthusiast. Whether he’s exploring Mt. Lemmon, sticking his head out the car window, or serving as the perfect pillow for his toddler sisters, Hampton brings joy everywhere he goes.

After facing his share of health challenges, Hampton’s family has worked tirelessly to help him thrive. We’re honored to have been part of his journey over the past year and are so grateful for the trust they’ve placed in our team.

As Hampton’s mom shared:
“We love his big puppy energy and will do our best to keep him a happy Ham for years to come.” 💙

We’re so happy to celebrate this sweet boy as our PAWS Pet of the Month and can’t wait to watch him continue living his best life. Congratulations, Hampton! 🐾

Happy International Day of Friendship! 🐾❤️

Some of the very best friendships don’t need words, they’re built on wagging tails, gentle purrs, muddy paws, happy adventures, and unconditional love.

Today we’re celebrating the incredible bond between our PAWS team and the pets who make our lives brighter every single day. Whether they’re our hiking buddies, cuddle companions, or the reason we smile after a long shift, these furry friends remind us why we do what we do.

Here’s to the friendships that fill our hearts, make us laugh, and love us exactly as we are. 💙

Happy International Day of Friendship from all of us at PAWS! We’d love to see your best friend too, share a photo of your pet in the comments! 🐶🐱

🌵 Desert beauty can come with hidden dangers. 🐾

Living in the Sonoran Desert means being surrounded by incredible plants, but not all of them are safe for our four-legged family members.

Some of the most common landscape plants in Southern Arizona, including oleander, sago palms, lantana, and aloe vera, can be toxic to dogs and cats if ingested. Even our iconic cacti, while not chemically toxic, can cause painful injuries with their sharp spines.

If you suspect your pet has chewed on or eaten a potentially toxic plant:
🐶 Remove them from the area.
📞 Contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary hospital immediately.
⏰ Early treatment can make all the difference.

A little awareness goes a long way in keeping your pets safe while they explore the beautiful Arizona outdoors. 💚
