Did you know… chocolate labs, like Estelle, are amazing swimmers 🌊

This is because of their webbed paws and otter-like tails! 🦦

Historically, Labradors were bred to retrieve fishing nets and help fishermen, so their love for water and swimming is deeply ingrained in their nature 🤭

Look at those whiskers! 🤭✨

Did you know…

Cats’ whiskers are super sensitive and can detect even the tiniest changes in their surroundings 🐈🏠.

They’re so precise that cats use them to determine if they can squeeze through tight spaces—like a built-in measuring tape! 🐱

Meet Coco 👀 who visited us for a Grade 1 dental earlier this week! 🦷

A Grade 1 dental for cats involves a basic cleaning and polishing of the teeth to remove plaque and tartar buildup on the surface 🫧🪥

Such procedures maintain oral health and prevent more serious dental issues like gum disease or tooth loss 😣

"Protect Your Dog from Overheating!"
Short muzzle breeds like French Bull Dogs and Pugs are particularly suspectable to Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome or BOAS and are at high risk for heat exhaustion.
Avoid walks during the hottest part of the day, and keep them cool inside with fans or air conditioning. Be cautious with exercise, too—short walks in the coolest part of the day is best for these breeds🌡️🐶
If you notice signs of heat stroke – excessive panting, drooling or restlessness, please seek veterinary help immediately.

Meet Duke 🐱a Persian, who visited us for a 🦷 clean ✨

Did you know that Persian cats have earned the nickname “furniture with fur”? 🤭

This is because of their very laid back and affectionate temperament 🥰

They are also often content to lounge around the house for hours 😴

Fortunately, for Duke, he has left us with a new set of pearly whites, and can return home to snoozing on the couch 😅
