Summer Heat and Senior Pets: Using Regenerative Medicine to Keep Your Dog Active and Comfortable​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Summer in Evansville can be hard on senior dogs. Hot weather, humidity, and longer days outside may make stiffness, arthritis, and fatigue more noticeable. If your dog is slower to get up, hesitates on walks, or seems uncomfortable after activity, it may be time to look beyond basic rest and pain management. At Highland Veterinary Clinic, regenerative medicine offers an advanced option to support comfort, mobility, and healing in aging pets.​​​​​​​

Why Is My Dog Scratching More After Summer Walks? June Flea and Tick Signs Every Pet Parent Should Know​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Summer walks are a favorite part of the day for many Evansville dogs, but June can also bring more itching, biting, and skin irritation. When the weather warms up and pets spend more time outside, fleas, ticks, and environmental irritants can become more active. At Highland Veterinary Clinic, we often hear from pet parents who notice their dog scratching more after walks, especially after time in grass, wooded areas, or shaded yards.​​​​​​​

Cold Laser Therapy for Hip Dysplasia in Pets​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Hip dysplasia can make everyday movement harder for dogs and, in some cases, cats. This condition occurs when the hip joint does not fit or move as smoothly as it should, which can lead to pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced mobility over time. Pets with hip dysplasia may still want to play, walk, or climb stairs, but discomfort can make those activities more difficult.​​​​​​​

How Cold Laser Therapy Helps Pets Heal Faster​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

When pets are dealing with pain, inflammation, or a slow recovery, treatment that supports healing without surgery or medication overload can make a real difference. Cold laser therapy is one option we may recommend to help reduce discomfort, improve circulation, and support tissue repair. For many dogs and cats, it can be a helpful part of a broader treatment plan designed to get them feeling better sooner.​​​​​​​
