Remember, any food that isn't a regular part of a pet's diet—especially fatty foods like ham, gravy, dark turkey meat, and turkey skin—can cause issues ranging from diarrhea to pancreatitis, and some human foods can even poison your pets. Side dishes like stuffing and mashed potatoes may contain garlic, onion, leeks, or chives that are toxic to dogs and cats. Desserts may include dangerous-to-pets ingredients like chocolate, raisins, currants, and Xylitol (a popular sugar substitute)—so reserve the sweet stuff for humans only. Plus, chewing and swallowing bones may cause a life-threatening obstruction that requires emergency surgery.

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 (256) 586-2561.

Did you know that Siamese cat coloring actually comes from albinism? Their unique coloring is believed to be the result of a mutation from albino genes. They are sometimes referred to as “temperature sensitive albinos” due to their color developing after exposure to lower temperatures and being the darkest on their extremities. Most modern Siamese cats are not considered true albinos and the full mutation is recessive within the breed, which is characterized by an all-white coat with blue eyes.

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 (256) 586-2561.
And they called it puppy love....

The cat righting reflex is how cats’ bodies naturally right themselves during a fall. Since cats have no collarbones and extremely flexible spines, they use their superior vestibular (inner ear/balance) systems to figure out which way is up. Once the head is oriented in the right direction, the rest of the body twists to follow suit.
