Who doesn’t love their holiday decorations! Greenery, lights, candles – oh, my! But, some of these holiday trimmings can be dangerous for our pets. Cats love to climb Christmas Trees and play with ornaments. Keep the risk of your trees tipping over by securing it to the celling or a door frame with fishing line.

Have you ever wondered why we ask for your pet’s stool sample? 🤔

We recommend checking a stool sample every 6-12 months for intestinal parasites which can be in the environment, even right in your back yard!

The nice thing about checking a stool sample is that you don’t need an appointment! Collect a sample and drop it off when able in order to make sure your pet doesn’t have parasites.

Parasites could be spreading to you or others!

Have you often wondered what your cat is trying to tell you based on their facial expressions? Some facial expressions could be showing signs of pain. 60% of cats show signs of osteoarthritis pain after the age of 6 years and 90% of cats by age age 12!

Take the quiz at the end of the article to see if your pet may be experiencing osteoarthritis pain. Then schedule your appointment to talk to a doctor about options available to keep your cat more comfortable!

You can use your cat’s facial expressions to better understand when your cat might be experiencing pain (and to what degree).

Brachycephalic dogs like Tina here have a short head with narrow nostrils making them more prone to breathing issues. After Tina had an anesthetic dental cleaning we made sure to closely watch her in recovery for any issues. Tina definitely enjoyed hanging out with the girls watching them help other pets who came in the treatment area.
