Because the medical needs of cats are unique, our hospital utilizes specialized equipment, training of employees, and facilities specific to felines. We have a dedicated feline only examination room and we minimize stress by utilizing feline pheromones and soft cozy surfaces which will allow your cat to feel safe and secure.๐Ÿฑ

Cats have special needs when it comes to exploring new environments and we understand the needs of cats and how to keep their stress to a minimum๐Ÿพ

10/12/2024

We tend to think of our feline friends as sassy, independent, and apathetic creaturesโ€”and for many cat lovers, that low-key attitude is all just a part of their charm. Here are six ways youโ€™ll know if your cat is living their best life (even if they'll never admit it).

Cats are masters of disguise, which unfortunately means signs of medical and behavioral issues can easily go unnoticed. Regular exams allow your veterinarian to pick up on subtle clues about your catโ€™s health that, if detected and treated early, can greatly improve his physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.

Ready to keep your cat happyโ€”and healthyโ€”for many years to come? Schedule an appointment!

Halloween is here, so it is important to ensure your furry friends enjoy the season safely!

๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ Beware of Decorations: As you decorate your home, keep hazardous items out of reach. Curious pets might chew on electrical cords or knock over candles, leading to dangerous situations.

๐Ÿฌ Skip the Treats: Resist the urge to share Halloween candy with your pets! Chocolate is toxic, and sugar-free candies with Xylitol can be deadly. If your pet eats something harmful, contact your vet immediately.

๐Ÿ• Costume Caution: Dressing up can be fun, but not all pets like costumes. If you choose to dress your pet, ensure the costume fits well and doesnโ€™t restrict movement or breathing. If they seem uncomfortable, opt for a festive bandana instead.

๐Ÿ“› ID Check: Ensure your pet has proper identification, especially with the hustle and bustle of Halloween. A collar with tags is great, but microchipping is a more permanent solution that can reunite you with your pet if they get lost.

๐Ÿก Keep Pets Indoors: During trick-or-treating, keep your pets inside to avoid stress from the commotion and prevent escapes. Create a cozy, quiet space for them, complete with soothing music to muffle outside noises.

With these tips, you can enjoy a frightfully fun Halloween while keeping your pets safe and happy! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿพ
