Remember, any food that isn't a regular part of a pet's dietāespecially fatty foods like ham, gravy, dark turkey meat, and turkey skinācan 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)āso 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 (615) 373-3485.

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 ātemperature sensitive albinosā 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 catās diet and nutrition but donāt know where to start, we are here to help! Contact us today at (615) 373-3485.

The cat righting reflex is how catsā 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.

Cat behavior may seem totally random to us, but there is a method to the madness. For example, cats release low meows when they are irritated or ready to defend themselves. If your cat kneads you, it means they feel comfortable around you. Contrarily, when a cat twitches his ears, it means he is agitated or feeling anxious. Contact us if you notice any unfamiliar behavior from your furry companion!
