April 2 is National Ferret Day and we thought we would share some neat facts about these guys!
🐾The word “ferret” is from the Latin fur, meaning “little thief.” Indeed, one of the ferret’s favorite activities is stealing and hiding things.
🐾Ferrets belong to the weasel (Mustelidae) family. Besides weasels and ferrets, this group of animals also includes minks, otters, and badgers as well as polecats and sables.
🐾Like cats, pet ferrets use litter boxes to go to the bathroom, though they are not quite as easily trained as cats.
🐾Ferrets are considered to be geriatric by the time they reach 4 years old.
🐾Baby ferrets are called kits, adult males are called hobs, and adult females are called jills. A castrated male is called a gib and a spayed female is called a sprite. Hobs and gibs are up to 50% larger than jills and sprites.
🐾A group of ferrets is called a “business.”

Spring Pet Care Tips 🌱
You and your companion can prepare for the new season with these tips:
✔️ Check Preventatives: Ensure your pet has year-round coverage for fleas, ticks, and heartworms.
✔️ Monitor the Itch: Spring can trigger seasonal allergies in many, including our pets. Although we sniffle and sneeze, our furry friends display allergies by itching and licking their skin.
✔️ Update Their Microchip: Update your pet’s microchip with your latest information.

Tell us, what is your pet's leprechaun name!
Encouraging dogs to sniff on walks is not only natural and instinctual for them but also has many benefits for their physical and mental well-being.
Sniffing provides mental stimulation for dogs, which is important for their overall mental health.
A good sniff also helps them to learn about their environment, identify scents, and understand the world around them. Through sniffing they can also release pent-up energy, which can help to reduce behavioural problems.
Additionally, sniffing can help to alleviate stress and anxiety in dogs, making them feel more relaxed and comfortable on walks.
Facts
Heartworms live inside your pet for 6 months before a test can tell your veterinarian they're there. Keep your dog and cat on heartworm prevention and stop the cycle! Ask us today about easy options to help you and your pet!

Feline Distemper, or panleukopenia, is a highly contagious viral disease that affects all members of the feline family. It also affects raccoons, mink and coatimundis. Kittens are the most susceptible, and its occurrence is often linked to kitten season. Panleukopenia may be seen year round, however, and cats of any age may contract it. All of these adorable faces received their vaccines this week :)
