Did you know 40% of dogs and cats experience some level of pain due to Osteoarthritis (OA)?

OA is arthritis that develops when protective tissue in the joints deteriorates, leading to friction between the bones. Pain from OA can decrease your pet’s willingness to play or exercise.

Take the Pain Checklist quiz to see if they could be showing signs of OA: https://bit.ly/3Z5m7u6

If you suspect your pet may have signs of OA, please contact us so we can help them feel their very best!

Thank you to the HiveKitchen from the bottom of our hearts for raising $658 by donating every $5 garlic knot purchase to our rescue angel fund last week! Because of your incredible generosity and our client’s round up donations, we've raised all the money needed for Lilly Mae’s surgery and treatment.🩺

It’s because of these act of kindness that we have the ability to help rescue dogs and cats in need.💕

Lilly is now on her way to a healthy, happy life, and it's all thanks to YOU! Whether you donated, shared, or sent positive thoughts, you played a part in giving Lilly her second chance. She’s now ready for her furever home and available for adoption at Joliet Township Animal Control! Please reach out to them if you’re interested in giving this sweet girl a home! 🥰

September is , and as a pet owner, you know that you are your pet’s advocate when it comes to pain.

Can you imagine what it would be like to not be understood when you’re in pain? This video, produced by Canine Arthritis Management, illustrates exactly that:

Nobody should suffer in silence. 80% of dogs over 8 years old have arthritis, which is a major cause of elective euthanasia.

September is Leukemia & Lymphoma Awareness Month, and we want to remind our pet parents the importance of wellness visits, no matter the pet’s age.

Attending a wellness visit 1-2 times a year, along with routine bloodwork, helps our team to identify potential problems early and provide timely intervention.

Kittens are irresistibly cute with their tiny eyes, wispy fur, and playful antics. However, their first year requires patience, dedication, and understanding of feline development. Like human babies, kittens go through specific stages needing different care levels. Preparing for these milestones will help you raise a strong, healthy, and happy cat.

Cats are so laidback that people often think they are low-maintenance and don't need to go to the vet as often as dogs. In honor of National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day, we want to remind you of the top reasons our feline friends need regular exams, too!

If your cat is due for a visit, or if you have noticed any changes in their health or behavior, contact us today to book a visit. We want to keep them purring!
