🐾 Ear Infections in Dogs & Cats — What You Should Know

Ear infections are more than just a nuisance — they’re often a sign of an underlying issue like allergies, hormonal imbalances, or even a foreign object lodged inside the ear.

👉 Quick fixes don’t always work, and ear mites aren’t usually the culprit (except in kittens). In most adult pets, bacterial or yeast infections are more likely to blame.

✅ One of the most important steps? Proper ear cleaning by a veterinarian. In some cases, sedation is required to safely flush out the ear and examine the ear drum before prescribing treatment. Using the wrong product can do more harm than good.

If your pet is scratching their ears, shaking their head, or showing signs of discomfort — don’t wait.

Not Sure When to Spay Your Pet? 🤔

Here’s what we recommend for a healthy and safe start — because being a responsible pet parent starts with making the right choices for their health. 🐾

🐶 Dogs:
Small to medium breeds: Spay by 6 months of age.

Large breeds: Wait until your dog is more developed — around 12 to 18 months — to support proper growth.

🐱 Cats:
While it’s possible to spay as early as 6 weeks, we recommend doing it between 5 and 6 months — ideally before their first heat.

Spaying too early or too late can carry health risks, so always consult your vet to choose the best timing for your pet’s breed and lifestyle.

📅 We recommend booking your appointment in advance to avoid waiting time.
