At just 8 weeks old, kittens reach a significant milestone, making weaning them to solid foods the most opportune time. It fosters their independence while setting the foundation for a healthy, balanced diet that ensures their growth into playful and thriving cats!

Oftentimes, we see our cute cats twirling, but what does it mean? It can signify several things. They could be being playful, following a hunting instinct, showing excitement, or, in rare cases, it could indicate a medical issue or be caused by disorientation. However, in most cases, this is normal behavior. Always remember to monitor your cat's behavior to ensure they're in tip-top shape and not in distress. If unsure, we're here to help - call 403-485-6880.
According to a recent American Temperament Test Society study, pit bulls pass their temperament tests 87% of the time – making them 4th out of the 122 breeds tested – meaning they're one of the most affectionate and least aggressive dogs. Stay current with your dogs' health care needs and schedule their appointment by calling 403-485-6880.
Different breeds of cats mature at slightly different rates. Depending on your kitten's breed, it might take them somewhat longer to mature. Maine Coons, for example, aren't considered mature until about 3 or 4 years old. Some cats never even really outgrow their kitten phase! Looking for more fun facts about your cat? Follow us for more. Contact our office at 403-485-6880.
Happy New Year from Our Team! As we enter the last day of 2024, we would like to thank you for trusting us to care for your animals over this past year! We look forward to working with you in 2025. Wishing you all a safe and Happy New Year🎉
Did you know that cats have excellent night vision due to a reflective layer behind their retinas called the tapetum lucidum? This layer enhances their ability to see in low light conditions. Are you looking for a vet who puts the care of your pets first? Look no further! Contact us today at 403-485-6880 to schedule an appointment.
Have you seen your cat playing and twisting as if they really have 9 lives? Cats are actually known for their agility and flexibility! They have flexible spines that allow them to twist and turn in mid-air, and their skeletons contain more bones than humans. Contact us today at 403-485-6880 to schedule a wellness appointment for your pet!
Unlike dogs, cats are digitigrade, meaning they walk on their toes! This contributes to their graceful and silent movements. It also allows them to move faster! Contact us today at 403-485-6880 for more cat care information and to schedule an exam for your kitty!
Have you ever noticed that your pup twitches while they’re sleeping? That’s because dogs dream as well with comparable sleep patterns to humans. Not just that but they also have a “sixth sense.” Your pooch can sense things before they happen and show that by acting out with hiding, weird behavior, and whining. Dogs are truly one of a kind. Stay pawsome! Give us a call at 403-485-6880 to schedule a visit.
Did you know that cats have a highly developed sense of hearing? They can detect a wide range of sound frequencies. They can hear sounds that are both higher and lower in frequency than compared to humans! Crazy, right? Contact us for more information about how to care for your cat. Call us at 403-485-6880.
Puppy socialization is one of the essential ingredients for a happy, well-behaved, and confident dog. Missing out on socialization during puppyhood can contribute to behavior issues like leash reactivity and fear-based aggression. A week after your puppy has had their first round of vaccines, it's a good time to start doing puppy-safe socialization activities. You should never bring your puppy to a dog park or other area where groups of dogs frequently gather until your pup has received all of their vaccinations in their initial puppy series (around 17 weeks old). Is it time to get your pet vaccinated? Schedule a vaccination appointment with us today at 403-485-6880.
