An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! 🐾

Avoiding an illness is always better than treating it, and when it cannot be avoided, intervention is always more effective if started sooner rather than later. Since dogs age faster than humans, an annual veterinary exam with diagnostic testing is equivalent to a human visiting the doctor every fou...

Remembering Boo ❤️

“My fiancé Brandon’s childhood kitty 'Boo' moved in with us just as fast as we moved in with each other, because we were so in love. She was there to witness Brandon fall hard and build a home with his first true love. Boo was included in countless kitchen dance sessions, cozy movie nights, and endless bedtime cuddles. Boo was part of our first Christmas together and many other holidays. She was so sweet with just the right amount of sass—sometimes too much for her own good. Over time, she slowly let me into her world and began to trust me as her momma. Before we knew it, we became a close-knit family of three. She wasn’t just a pet; she was a beloved family member—our cherished fur baby. She didn't just trust anybody but she trusted us to protect and care for her, which we never took for granted but more so valued.

Boo was sooooo spoiled, surrounded by all the toys, blankets, sweaters, treats, and endless kisses she could ever want. Boo had a soft spot for salami and Cheez-Its! We always called her our little Halloween kitty, but she brought nothing but good luck to us. She had so many nicknames—Booberry, Booeautiful, Boopers, and Boobie. We loved her sass, the little tufts of fur between her toes, and how much she adored cuddling.

Boo’s passing came so unexpectedly and shattered our little family. We prayed endlessly that if she had to be taken from us, we ask that she wouldn’t suffer any longer. We truly believe our prayers were answered. On her final trip to the vet, she was wrapped in her blanket, enjoying the sunshine and purring during the whole car ride. Knowing she was ready and savoring her last moments with us brought us so much peace. In her final weeks, she didn’t hide at all. All she wanted was to be close to us, following us everywhere we went. Even though our world has been absolutely crushed, we know it’s for the better.

Unfortunately I'm gonna have to miss you longer than I was able to love you. And grieving you was probably one of the hardest things I had to do.

Thank you for the countless memories, and letting me soak you in tears when I need it. Thank you for watching over Brandon all these years and loving him. Thank you for being your goofy self and countless laughs. Thank you for letting me be your momma.

To our deer sweet Boo, we love you and will always remember the joy you brought to our world. You are forever missed, give Jesus some snuggles.” -Carolyn B.

Fur babies are family, and these words from Boo’s family show an endless and forever love that every fur baby deserves. Thank you for loving Boo. Rest in peace, little one. 🌈🐾

The most common signs that a dog has bladder stones are blood in the urine and/or straining to urinate. Contact your vet as soon as possible if you ever notice these symptoms with your pet.

Bladder stones (uroliths or cystic calculi) are rock-like formations of minerals that develop in the urinary bladder. There may be a large, single stone or a collection of stones that range in size from sand-like grains to gravel.

Pets are our children. We share our beds with them, our snacks, our shampoo… our shampoo? Wait a minute. Should we do that? Learn about the dangers of using human personal care products on pets.🧴🐾

We care for our pets, we share lots of things with them, but our personal care products should be safeguarded solely for our use.

Whether you've decided to be a first-time cat parent or you are bringing a new feline into your cat-experienced home, there are many important factors you should consider when choosing the purrfect cat for your family. 🐱

You’ve probably heard lots of funny cat anecdotes; about how you don’t own them…they own YOU; how they feel superior to everyone, especially dogs; that they expect to be treated like royalty. If you are considering a feline acquisition, first consider this: lots of those remarks are true! They...

Deaf cats rely on vision, touch, and smell. These are the types of cues they'll look for when learning and training. 🐱

Deaf cats can learn just as easily as hearing cats. The training process, using rewards to encourage behaviors, is the same. The difference is that all cues must be non-verbal.
