Did you know that common health issues in pets like allergies, digestive troubles, joint pain, and even obesity can often be managed—or even prevented—with the right diet? ​

Proper nutrition is a cornerstone of your pet’s well-being. If you gained a new fur family member over the holidays, or are looking to evaluate your pet’s diet, contact us today to discuss your pet’s nutrition needs!​

Did you know that cats can make over 100 different sounds? Their vocal cords are incredibly flexible, allowing them to communicate with us in so many ways.

If you have a favorite pet fact, share it with us in the comments!

Keeping your pet active during the colder months can be tricky, but maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for their overall wellness. ​

For our dog patients, we recommend indoor tug-of-war, indoor fetch, and interactive toys. ​

For our cat patients, additional cardboard boxes never hurt – along with laser pointers, birdwatch stations, and interactive toys. ​

What are some indoor activities your pet loves to engage with? Share with us in the comments!​

Routine physical exams are great for checking your pet’s heart, lungs, eyes, and ears, but what about their internal health?

Annual blood panels help us assess internal health including liver and kidney function, metabolic disease, and blood counts. Diagnostic tests provide valuable insight into changes in their health over time and allow us to identify illnesses early which can lead to faster treatment and often a better prognosis

💉 Schedule your pet’s wellness exam with us so we can run blood panels and help keep your pet healthy as can be!

With the holiday season in full effect, we know that there may be treats on your pet’s wish list. We also know that you are likely tired of the toothbrushing battle. Which is why we recommend dental treats!
Dental treats are a great way to reduce the severity of periodontal disease.

We urge our pet parents to look for the VOHC Seal of Acceptance and to avoid hard treats such as synthetic or natural bones.

Tis' the season for joy, cheer, and...vaccinations! 💉

Your pet's health is the best gift you can give this holiday season. Schedule their annual check-up or vaccinations today.

The holiday season is now in full swing, which brings excitement, but for male cats, it can also bring extra stress—and with it, a higher risk of Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD).

If your cat seems to be urinating more frequently, straining, or showing signs of discomfort, it could be a sign of FLUTD.

Simple steps like creating a quiet, cozy space or using pheromone sprays, can help reduce stress.

Our clinic is here to help! We can provide a thorough review of your cat’s health and offer guidance on environmental changes to keep them calm. Contact us today!
