Dogs can get dehydrated just like you can! So it’s important to ensure that your dog is drinking enough water throughout the day. Dehydration can lead to serious health issues so make sure your pupper always has access to fresh water, especially after playtime or walks. In hot weather, consider offering water to them more frequently. Contact us at (256) 586-2561 for more helpful tips on properly caring for your dog!

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 (256) 586-2561.
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 (256) 586-2561.
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!

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.

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 (256) 586-2561 to schedule an appointment.
