Did you know that some dog breeds are more cold-tolerant than others? ❄️Cold-loving breeds like the Siberian Husky, Alaskan Malamute, and Bernese Mountain Dog. Their thick coats and endurance make them winter warriors! On the flip side, breeds like Chihuahuas, Greyhounds, and Italian Greyhounds have less natural insulation against the cold. Keep them snug and warm during chilly days.

Typically, we need to weigh each patient separately. Peach & Cloud, who visited us quite a while back, seemed to be inseparable. Both were seen by our Dr. Baker, who sees exotics regularly. If you have questions about which exotics he sees, click the link below to our website. If there are other questions left, give us a call at (781) 737-7820!

Luna visited us last week! She was very, very comfortable in Dawn's arms. She especially liked that her little feet were kept warm and cozy in Dawn's pocket 😊.

Roe may be a small puppy at this point, but being a Great Dane he eventually will tower over most other dogs! Male Great Dane's grow up to 30-32" (measured at shoulder) and weigh between 140-175 lbs when fully grown. Females are up to 28-30" tall and weigh 110-140 lbs. Great Dane's are a great joy to live with and these gentle giants are not only friendly and soft, but also courageous and full of spirit.
We're looking forward to seeing Roe "grow up" 😀.

National Pet Obesity Awareness Day was on October 8. It is still October so we don't want to leave this important topic unaddressed. DAH's Dr. Shepard prepared a video about ideal body weight for dogs and cats using the Body Condition Score. If you are interested in learning more about how to determine if your dog or cat is under- or overweight and how you can monitor it, watch Dr. Shepard's video!
