Certain dog breeds are significantly predisposed to heart disease, and one of these breeds is the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, which is particularly susceptible to Mitral Valve Disease (MVD). This condition can lead to heart failure due to the degeneration of the mitral valve in the heart, causing leakage that results in fluid buildup in the lungs and enlargement of the heart. MVD often affects older dogs, with symptoms potentially appearing as early as age 5 or 6. If you own this breed, regularly monitoring their health and watching for signs, including coughing, lethargy, and difficulty breathing, is essential. Remember to schedule their wellness check-ups with us at (301) 663-6531 so we can evaluate their heart and overall health.

When your dog's dental health is neglected, there's a significant risk of developing gum disease, which can progress to periodontal disease. If bacteremia occurs, bacteria from the infected gums can enter the bloodstream and spread to other organs, including the heart. Over time, this can damage the heart's structure and function, potentially leading to heart disease. Maintaining your dog's dental health and other health efforts is a vital step in protecting your dog's heart health. Contact us at (301) 663-6531 to evaluate your dog's dental health!

If unsure, we're here to help - call (301) 663-6531.

It's, in fact, TRUE! Even though your pet looks healthy, getting routine blood work during their wellness exams is always recommended. There may be underlying conditions that aren't detectable by the naked eye. Detecting potential problems is one of the essential reasons dogs need blood work, especially for seniors, to monitor their organ health and age-related conditions.

Chemistry panels help assess your cat's health along with other routine wellness exams. They're best known for evaluating how healthy organs such as the liver, kidneys, and pancreas function. Early signs of liver and kidney disease and diabetes can be detected through this test. A urine sample is also recommended for a thorough check to get a complete picture of your cat's health.

When it comes to heart health, an echocardiogram is one of the most effective diagnostic tools for assessing your dog's heart condition. This non-invasive procedure takes about 20-30 minutes to complete and generally doesn't require shaving their fur, though a small patch may be shaved in some cases. The echocardiogram provides real-time images of the heart, allowing us to evaluate its size, condition, and pumping efficiency and identify any abnormalities. Contact us at (301) 663-6531!

Puppies start teething anywhere between 3-4 months old and can last until the age of 6 to 7 months. You’ll notice an increase in biting and nipping as your puppy loses more baby teeth and adult teeth start to grow in. Most pups decrease their mouthing and biting by the time they are 8 to 10 months old, depending on the breed. To ensure this doesn’t turn into a lifelong bad habit, follow these helpful tips to stop puppy biting. Do you have questions about how to care for your pup? Give us a call at (301) 663-6531 and we can provide you with more personalized care. 🐶
