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 780-352-6036 to schedule a wellness appointment for your pet!

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 780-352-6036 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 780-352-6036.

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 behaviour 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 780-352-6036.

Like many other mammals, cats are not able to properly digest the lactose in milk. Gastrointestinal issues, such as bloating, diarrhea, and gas can be caused by milk. If you give whole or 2% cow milk to your cats, you can also be adding an unhealthy amount of fat into their diet. Looking to improve your cat’s diet and nutrition but don’t know where to start, we are here to help! Contact us today at 780-352-6036.
