The magical powers of the feline Purr 😻

True or False?!
As your pets health care professionals, we are also on social media and read what pet parents are saying and the information being giving from pet parent to pet parent
Let’s debunk common statements that we hear, even in hospital.

“Your vet only recommends that food because they are sponsored by that company”

“Your vet gets paid from that company to promote and sell their food”

NOPE. No, we do not. Just like any business, we need to purchase our diets from vendors/suppliers.
Do we research the diets prior to purchase? Do we consult with companies and receive education behind the diets and support for our medical cases? Yes we do. To have access to a veterinary team who specialize in nutrition is a benefit to you and your pets, and we fully use our resources for the health and well being of your pet
Please know, the diets on our shelves are not “Our diets”. They are our medical recommendations 🐾🐾

How do you play and interact with your feline friend? Let’s just say using your hands or feet as play toys is the wrong answer 🙀

Yes. Yes. Yes! 🐾🐾
Get your pet walking for their physical and mental health (it’s also good for us 😉)

A simple reminder, please be kind to all

01/23/2025

Your pet can’t tell you about sore gums or toothaches, and are masters of masking/hiding dental pain 🙀

Animals will continue to eat with dental disease!

It’s recommended and important that dogs and cats have regular examinations and dental cleanings to prevent these painful problems.

At your pets appointments, we always look inside their mouths and provide a treatment plan🦷

One of our patients is not letting the cold stop his fun in the park! Scout dresses for the weather and heads out to ensure to get his walkies in. Now this is making modifications and meeting Scouts needs ❤️🐾🐾❤️ (share with us your pets winter wear)

01/21/2025

A reminder we all don’t want to think about. This time of year strays and wildlife may be seeking warmth.
As the temperature drops, outdoor cats and wildlife, often seek warmth under car hoods and on top of tires. Before you start your car give hiding animals time to escape by banging on the hood

*Scientifically proven. And you know we love science! 😻

Oh don’t worry, we document all snacks/food and how much should be given to our furry friends!
At each visit we do ask your pet to step on the scale, even if “they were just here”
A nutritional consult is an important part of your pets visit 🐾🐾
