Next time you catch your kitty staring into the dark, remember they might just be seeing things we can only imagine! Their eyes truly are a marvel of evolution tailored for hunting and exploring. Isn't it fascinating how different species have adapted to thrive in their environments?

This common myth isn't entirely accurate! While some dogs do eat grass and may eventually vomit, studies suggest that they might actually be seeking out the fiber or simply enjoying the taste. Dogs are curious creatures, and snacking on grass could just be part of their natural behavior. Plus, it's important to ensure your pup isn’t eating treated or harmful plants while they explore! Keeping an eye on what your dog eats is key to their health and happiness. Always consult us at (616) 363-3831 if you're unsure about any behavior or if it becomes frequent!

Indoor cats can easily become bored, leading to over-grooming, aggression, or destructive behaviors. If your feline is knocking things over or constantly pestering you, they might be craving mental and physical stimulation. Enhance their environment with rotating toys, vertical spaces like cat trees, or even teach tricks to keep them engaged. Want more tips for a happier, healthier cat? Contact us at (616) 363-3831 🐾

Too many baths can strip your dog’s skin of natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Short-haired breeds tend to stay cleaner for longer, while long-haired or double-coated dogs may require more regular grooming and occasional baths to prevent matting and unpleasant odors. Always use pet-safe shampoo. Call us at (616) 363-3831 with specific questions!

Not sure if your dog’s behavior is just mischief or a sign of stress? Anxiety from separation, noise, or routine changes can lead to destructive habits or barking.

Contact us at (616) 363-3831—we’re here to help!

Just as in humans, plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gum infections, tooth loss, and even complications affecting the heart, liver, or kidneys in pets. Most pets over the age of 3 have some form of dental disease — and it often goes unnoticed because they rarely exhibit pain. To ensure your pet's dental health is in optimal condition, please get in touch with us at (616) 363-3831.

Some cat breeds are more prone to hidden ear issues than others. Cats with folded ears, long hair, or large open ears – such as Scottish Folds, Persians, or Siamese – are more susceptible to moisture and debris buildup, which leads to infections. Check their ears weekly for good measure and look for redness, discharge, or excess wax. Not sure if your cat is experiencing ear issues? Contact us at (616) 363-3831 today for expert advice and care.

It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our beloved Claudia. Claudia started her career as a veterinary technician under the guidance of Dr. Wayne Weisner in 1972. Years later, Dr. Innis and Dr. Schoen began practicing alongside Dr. Weisner and developed our practice, Weisner, Innis & Schoen (now Grand Rapids Vet Clinic). Claudia was instrumental in the shaping and growth of our practice. She was an extraordinarily compassionate person who loved animals and dedicated most of her life to caring for them. For those of us that had the privilege of knowing / working with Claudia, she was a teacher, a mother hen, a sister, a friend, a mischievous trickster, and a fighter, among many other things. She had such a big heart and she never held back with the people she worked with.

We love you and we will miss you, Claud.

A memorial service will be held for Claudia at 12:00 PM on Saturday, September 13th at the Northlawn United Methodist Church (1157 Northlawn St NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49505)

We've started plotting a map that shows positive cases recorded by only our clinic for three tick-borne illnesses. The test we use to test for these tick-borne illnesses is called a 4Dx test, and it also tests for heartworm. The three tick-borne illnesses are:
• Lyme
• Ehrlichiosis
• Anaplasmosis
There are over 20 veterinary hospitals in the greater Grand Rapids area. This map does not reflect data from these other hospitals. Based on CAPC data, in Michigan alone in 2024, there were 27,171 reported positive cases for Lyme disease. So far from January 2025 to mid-July 2025, there are already 16,932 reported positive cases for Lyme disease in Michigan.
