Did you know maintaining a healthy weight can add years to your pet’s life? 🐶🐱

This week, we’re shining a spotlight on the importance of maintaining a healthy weight for your pets! 🐕🐈 Keeping your pet at an ideal weight reduces the risk of serious health issues like diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease.

💡 Tip: Measure your pet’s meals, incorporate regular exercise, and avoid too many treats (even if those puppy eyes are hard to resist!)

A healthy weight means a happier, longer life for your pets. Let’s make 2025 their healthiest year yet! 💙

Last week, we had the privilege of seeing a litter of four 11-week-old Corgi puppies for their wellness checks and vaccinations. As a veterinary hospital that offers reproductive services, we are fortunate to work with litters like this regularly—whether they’re born here or brought in for care during their earliest stages of life (How lucky are we?!)

It’s always a joy to watch these puppies grow, from their first visits to finding their new homes, and even more so when we continue to see them as part of the FFVH Family. We’re grateful for the trust our clients place in us to care for their pets at every stage of life ❤🐾 To learn more about puppy visits and our other services, head to our website at www.familyfriendsvet.com 🔗

Crandall the Elf has officially jetted off back to the North Pole, leaving behind an empty (and decorated) kennel and a flight risk sign that feels way too accurate🎄✈️

He even left us a sweet note to remember him by - probably to make up for the chaos he caused! While we’ll miss his mischievous antics, we’re sure he’s already plotting next year’s shenanigans. Safe travels, Crandall!❤️🎅

🐾 Meet Marty and Eugene! These two adorable pug puppies were born here at Family Friends Veterinary Hospital with cleft palates, but thanks to the incredible dedication of our technician, Paige, they’ve been given a second chance at life! ❤️ Paige tirelessly tube-fed them as tiny puppies, and now they’re thriving, playful, and ready to find their forever homes.

About Marty & Eugene:
🧸 Love playing with toys, snuggling, and exploring
🐶 Super curious and enjoy following their foster brothers around
🩺 Have already had their first check-up and vaccines

In the second and third photos, Marty and Eugene got to meet the Grinch this past weekend at Your Pets Naturally🎄🐾 They had a blast spreading holiday cheer and the photos turned out so cute!!

Paige is looking for the perfect families to continue giving these special boys the love and care they deserve. Their palates will need to be repaired when the doctor recommends, and she would like them to be neutered after 6 months.

If you’re interested in adopting Marty or Eugene, please contact Paige directly (see post for information) Let’s help these sweet boys find the loving families they deserve! 💕

📌 Note: Their new families assume financial responsibility for their ongoing medical needs, and Paige will carefully choose their homes to ensure the best fit.
