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 (708) 430-2233.

It's, in fact, TRUE! Even though your pet looks healthy, getting routine blood work during their wellness exams is always recommended. There may be underlying conditions that aren't detectable by the naked eye. Detecting potential problems is one of the essential reasons dogs need blood work, especially for seniors, to monitor their organ health and age-related conditions. Have you scheduled your pet's routine wellness exam? Contact us at (708) 430-2233.

Different breeds of cats mature at slightly different rates. Depending on your kitten's breed, it might take them somewhat longer to mature. Maine C***s, 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.

Chemistry panels help assess your cat's health along with other routine wellness exams. They're best known for evaluating how healthy organs such as the liver, kidneys, and pancreas function. Early signs of liver and kidney disease and diabetes can be detected through this test. A urine sample is also recommended for a thorough check to get a complete picture of your cat's health. Have you scheduled your pet's routine wellness exam? Contact us at (708) 430-2233.

When it comes to heart health, an echocardiogram is one of the most effective diagnostic tools for assessing your dog's heart condition. This non-invasive procedure takes about 20-30 minutes to complete and generally doesn't require shaving their fur, though a small patch may be shaved in some cases. The echocardiogram provides real-time images of the heart, allowing us to evaluate its size, condition, and pumping efficiency and identify any abnormalities. Contact us at (708) 430-2233!

Puppies start teething anywhere between 3-4 months old and can last until the age of 6 to 7 months. You’ll notice an increase in biting and nipping as your puppy loses more baby teeth and adult teeth start to grow in. Most pups decrease their mouthing and biting by the time they are 8 to 10 months old, depending on the breed. To ensure this doesn’t turn into a lifelong bad habit, follow these helpful tips to stop puppy biting. Do you have questions about how to care for your pup? Give us a call at (708) 430-2233 and we can provide you with more personalized care. 🐶

Like us, it is best to brush your dog's teeth at least twice every day. For many dogs, once brushing becomes a part of their daily routine, they will begin to expect and enjoy it. Brushing three times a week is the minimum recommendation to help remove plaque and prevent tartar accumulation.

While we may not believe it, even our unconditionally loving dogs can lash out under stress. These moments are rarely unprompted and can be avoided if we learn the different conflict defusing signs our dog will display. Respecting your dog's boundaries will leave them feeling more comfortable and safer in your household.

Don't miss your pet's vaccination appointment! Vaccines work by introducing a weakened form of a virus into the body which stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. These antibodies then protect your pet from the virus, and can even prevent it from becoming ill if it comes into contact with the virus in the future. Is it time to get your pet vaccinated? Schedule a vaccination appointment with us today at (708) 430-2233.

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 (708) 430-2233 to schedule an appointment.

Have you ever noticed that your pup twitches while they’re sleeping? That’s because dogs dream as well with comparable sleep patterns to humans. Not just that but they also have a “sixth sense.” Your pooch can sense things before they happen and show that by acting out with hiding, weird behavior, and whining. Dogs are truly one of a kind. Stay pawsome! Give us a call at (708) 430-2233 to schedule a visit.

As a pet parent, we hope you never have to go through an emergency. However, if you do, make sure you have this list handy so you know when to bring your pet in case of an emergency. ☎️: (708) 430-2233
