Fireworks and loud noises can trigger anxiety in pets, but small changes - like white noise, safe zones, and calm behavior - can make a big difference. If stress continues, contact us for support and a behavioral exam.


4 Ways to Make a Safe Zone for Your Pet

Many dogs experience noise aversion, a common but often untreated condition triggered by loud sounds like fireworks or thunder. Watch for signs like panting, whining, or hiding, and contact us to help your pet feel safe and calm.


Signs Your Dog Has Noise Aversion

Did you know that pets can suffer from allergies just like humans? However, unlike humans who show symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and itchy eyes, pets usually exhibit allergic reactions through their skin. This can lead to allergies in pets often being overlooked or misdiagnosed as other illnesses.

Calusa Crossing Animal Hospital began serving the West Kendall community with small animal medicine and surgery in the spring of 1989 at 11266 SW 137 Ave. Calusa's staff is privileged to have some of the best clients and patients in the area. After 22 years, our clinic was faced with outgrowing the facility and began looking for a better location in West Kendall. We found our new animal hospital site at 12801 SW 134 Court and moved in July of 2011. Everyone is excited to have the convenience of private parking, state of the art equipment, and twice the space to share with our clients.

Pain Management: Helping Your Pet Live More ComfortablyPets don't always show pain the way we expect. They may hide, slow down, or simply act "off"—and sometimes discomfort can be mistaken for aging or personality changes.Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, dealing with an injury, or living with a chronic condition like arthritis, pain management is a critical part of their care. Our goal is to help your pet stay active, comfortable, and happy at every stage of life.Recognizing Signs of Pain in PetsBecause pets can't tell us how they feel, it's important to watch for changes in behavior, movement, or appetite. Signs of pain may include:<ul><li>Limping or stiffness</li><li>Reluctance to jump, climb stairs, or go on walks</li><li>Whining, growling, or restlessness</li><li>Changes in appetite or sleep habits</li><li>Hiding or avoiding interaction</li><li>Licking or chewing at one area of the body</li><li>Decreased grooming (especially in cats)</li></ul>If you notice any of these, a veterinary exam can help determine the cause and how to treat it.Types of Pain We ManageWe treat both acute pain (from surgery or injury) and chronic pain (from conditions like arthritis, disc disease, or dental problems). Pain is never just a symptom—it directly affects your pet's quality of life.How We Treat PainWe employ a comprehensive approach to pain relief, combining proven veterinary methods to address the root cause of discomfort and minimize side effects. Our pain management options include:<ul><li>Prescription pain medications - Including anti-inflammatories and nerve pain medications tailored to your pet's specific needs</li><li>Joint supplements and nutraceuticals - Supporting long-term joint health and mobility</li><li>Weight management programs - Reducing stress on joints and improving overall comfort</li><li>Mobility support solutions - From orthopedic bedding to assistive devices</li><li>Customized treatment plans - Based on your pet's age, condition, and health history</li></ul>Each treatment plan is carefully designed to provide maximum relief while maintaining your pet's safety and well-being.Pain Management After SurgeryWe always provide pain control before, during, and after any surgical procedure. This helps speed recovery and reduces stress on the body. You'll also receive detailed care instructions and medications to continue managing pain comfortably after your pet goes home.Your Pet Deserves to Feel Good—Not Just "Get By"If something feels off or you're worried your pet may be in pain, we're here to help identify the issue and guide you toward relief.🐾 Looking to keep your pet healthy and happy?
