Recent studies show that while it might be common for first-time cat owners to bring their pets to the veterinarian once, regular visits fade afterwards. National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day on August 22nd promotes a healthy habit of pet owners keeping up with their cat’s well-being with recurring veterinarian visits.

It's allll fun and games....until it's not. Mango presented to us with an emergency call and visit because he had a bone stuck on his jaw and he was bleeding. He was distressed and scared trying to paw the object off his face without success. Sedation was given and Dr. Lewis was able to safely cut the bone to free it from Mango's jaw. He was able to go home a few hours later with minimal consequences thankfully. We love seeing this three year old happy in his home environment. Please refrain from using round bones with your canine friends as they can become stuck around the lower jaw behind their canine teeth just like this. These bones can also cause splinters and a choking hazard. We are very glad Mango had a happy ending and his family and your DePorre family want to spread the word to help others stay safe!

This is Staz. Staz has had a rough go recently. Staz had a recent death in the family and then got out of the house causing upset to the rest of the family. Staz had a good Samaritan that connected us so a family reunion was possible. Staz is microchipped, has a current dog license with Oakland County and an ID tag with a name and phone number. Staz is back home with family. We love happy endings (and well-identified pets)!!
