Weโve got another #FearFreeFriday cominโ atcha!
Ever heard the expression less is more? For our friend Bitty this is so true! ๐ผ
Bitty was not a fan and was placed in a snug โkitty burritoโ at his first nail trim appointment. ๐ฏ
However, at his next appointment Chyenne, a #fearfreecertifiedprofessional was able to establish his trust and carry out a very low-stress nail trim.
As you can see Chyenne cradles him within her elbow in one arm for stabilization and swiftly uses her other hand to snip his claws. All while observing his FAS score and making adjustments in her approach as needed.
Way to go Bitty, we โค๏ธ you!
Happy #FearFreeFriday everyone!
Maisy was an absolute purebreed good girl for her #FearFree nail trim! ๐พ

We're back with another #FearFreeFriday! This Friday, we are going to share one of our tips for making your pet's visit to our clinic as stress-free as possible.
This little trick is just for our kitty-pals! Let's hear it for the KITTY BURRITO! ๐ฏ
This techniques provides your cat with a comfortable and secure hold, allowing for our support team to provide better assistance! It's also a handy tip for cleaning ears or administering medication at home!
Check out this video of Micaela, a #fearfreecertifiedprofessional and Bear demonstrating the kitty burrito! Thanks for all your assistance Bear ๐ฅฐ
Question, can you identify this tick species?
Bonus points if you can differentiate between the male and female! ๐ค
I spy with my little eye... ๐ต๐ผ a microfilaria! ๐ชฑ
These, right here, are why heartworm prevention is SO important! Protect your pet!
Weโre back at it with another demonstration for Pet Dental Health Month! ๐ฆท
Do you feel like you just *know* your pet will hate a toothbrush and thereโs no way theyโll let you get close to their mouth with it? ๐ชฅ
This demonstration is helpful for pets that have never seen a toothbrush, or the stubborn kiddos who need a little TLC.
Mini has never had her teeth brushed, so Emily and Eryn are taking it slow and letting Mini know the toothbrush is her friend! ๐ป
Start by adding your pets favorite treat- let them lick it off. ๐
This way they are associating the toothbrush with a positive experience. Slowly, over time, work your way into circular motions on the top and bottom teeth- eventually adding toothpaste instead of treats. Before you know it, your pet will be used to the sensation and the toothbrush will no longer be so scary!
Teeth Brushing Demonstration
This weekโs Pet Dental Health โat home tipโ is a little different! We wanted to do a hands on demonstration showing just how easy it can be brushing your pets teeth at home!
Sweet Whiskey graciously let Emily and Kat brush her teeth in this quick video. Just 30 seconds a day can help reduce tartar and gingivitis between dental cleanings!
Check the comments for Whiskeyโs before and after photos from her recent dental cleaning.
