We're a family-owned and operated clinic, and we're bringing back a level of patient care and client service that you don't see enough of these days. We also think it's important to be proactive.

🦷 When Should Your Pet Have a Professional Dental Cleaning? 🐾

Just like us, our pets need regular dental care to stay healthy and happy. But when is it time for a professional cleaning?

Here are some signs and guidelines to help you decide:

✅ Bad Breath: Persistent bad breath isn’t normal—it’s often a sign of dental disease.
✅ Tartar Buildup: Visible yellow or brown tartar on teeth means it’s time for a cleaning.
✅ Swollen or Bleeding Gums: These are signs of gingivitis or more serious periodontal disease.
✅ Difficulty Eating: If your pet is chewing on one side, avoiding hard food, or showing discomfort, it’s time for a dental checkup.

Routine cleanings under veterinary supervision help prevent pain, infection, and even systemic health issues like heart and kidney disease.

🐾 Should You Walk Your Cat? 5 Questions to Ask First! 🐾

Walking a cat? Yes, it’s possible—but is it the right fit for your feline friend? 🐱✨ While most cats prefer the comforts of home, some adventurous kitties might enjoy a stroll outside. Before you grab a leash, here are 5 things to consider:

1️⃣ Your Cat’s Personality – Is your kitty bold and curious or shy and nervous? Confident cats may adapt better to walks. 🐾
2️⃣ The Environment – Quiet, low-traffic areas are ideal. Avoid busy streets, dogs, and wildlife that could cause stress. 🌳🚶‍♀️
3️⃣ Your Commitment – Once your cat gets a taste of the outdoors, they may beg for more. Are you ready for regular outings? 🐾⏰
4️⃣ Your Comfort Level – Walking a cat isn’t like walking a dog. Be prepared for slow exploring and unpredictable behavior! 🌼😼
5️⃣ Vet Approval – Check with your vet about vaccines, flea prevention, and safety tips before heading outdoors. 🩺🐾

✨ Thinking of giving it a try? Start slow with a comfortable harness, practice indoors, and let your cat set the pace. Safety first! 🐾❤️
