Walking your dog helps mitigate the risk of obesity, which is associated with several medical complaints including osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease, liver disease and insulin resistance.

And while walking a cat isn't as easy, playing with your cat(s) provides exercise benefits for them too.

If you can't walk them, playing with them outside or inside is still beneficial for them.

An active pet is a happier and healthier pet!

National Labrador Retriever Day

If you have a labrador, you know!

This breed is in the sporting group of dogs recognized by AKC. They are pretty laid back, but needs exercise and activities to burn off some of their energy.

They are goofy, gentle, loyal and extremely intelligent dogs. They can be trained as a hunting dog which instills further obedience from them. They majestic and loyal dogs.

Or they can be couch-potatoes....we love ‘em either way!

Respect the ERs and their staff this holiday season! If you have a long wait time, be thankful. That means someone else’s pet is barely hanging on and yours is not. Be kind, be patient, be grateful.

During the holidays, ER wait times may be longer than usual due to an increased volume of patients needing to be seen. All patients are triaged and seen in the order of necessity. We thank you in advance for your patience during this time! 🐾

Call if you need us... we can help. 804-206-9122
