Unfortunately, your pet won’t always be able to tell you exactly what’s wrong with them. If you’re concerned that your regular vet may not be getting to the root of what’s making your pet sick, we’re always ready to lend a hand.

If your cat is on a diet, try offering catnip as a treat instead of high-calorie snacks. One out of every two cats has a favorable reaction to inhaling catnip. The temporary "high" can last as long as 15 minutes and be repeated every couple of hours.

Equine veterinarians treat injuries, diagnose and treat diseases, provide vaccinations, and perform surgery on horses. We're also frequently consulted by horse owners on topics such as improving performance, diet, breeding, and stabling.

What's that sound? Cats not only have better night vision than humans, they also have the ability to hear a wider range of frequencies: 10.5 octaves versus our 9. This is also wider than a dog's range, which is also around 9.

As a bird's metabolism is naturally high, it is very important that it eats well on daily. Even one off day can indicate a problem, and in this case, it is best to make an appointment with an avian vet right away.

03/28/2023

When you have a cat that ventures outside, it can be difficult to say exactly what kind of trouble she may be getting into when you’re not around. Having her spayed can help you ensure that you suddenly don’t have a full litter of kittens to care for.

03/23/2023

Some pets enjoy ice, particularly in the summer, but avoid giving your pet ice that is not crushed. Ice cubes are quite hard, and it’s not uncommon for a pet to crack a tooth by biting on an ice cube. Your pet will appreciate crushed ice just as much.

03/21/2023

Did you know that birds can get depressed? A sudden change in your bird's personality, such as becoming overly aggressive or demonstrating inexplicable lethargy or sullenness, are signs of depression. Chronic feather plucking also reveals a depressed pet.

New dog owners must make sure their pets are vaccinated against common illnesses, since many of these are easily caught from other dogs on the trail or at the dog park. Most of these vaccines should be administered in the first year, so it will be one of the first things your vet brings up at your puppy's first visit.

03/14/2023

The only time it is considered normal for birds to pluck their feathers is when they are preparing a nest for an egg, and in this situation, they will only pluck a few. Excessive feather plucking is often a sign of stress, in which case a veterinary appointment is advisable.

03/09/2023

If you’re unsure of how to dispense a medication that your vet has prescribed, don’t be afraid to ask for a demonstration. The vet or technicians will be able to show the easiest way to get your pet to accept his or her pills.

03/07/2023

Does your cat sometimes lie on its back? In most cases, this is actually a sign of great trust. Your cat is showing he feels very comfortable and safe around you, so take it as a compliment!

03/02/2023

We recognize that it’s not always possible to bring in your pet for regular teeth cleaning procedures. Let’s talk about what you can do at home to help you pet keep their teeth healthy.

Check out what happens at your vet’s in an emergency. Does the practice offer emergency services out of office hours? If not, learn where the emergency hospital they use is located. Occasionally, there are those situations where every moment is precious.

02/23/2023

Brushing your dog’s teeth several times a week is the best way of preserving his or her oral health. However, be sure you are using the right brush. Choose one with bristles that are soft and will fit your dog’s mouth appropriately.

02/21/2023

Outdoor pets are at an increased risk for accident, illness and injury. Because of the heightened risk of illness, it's crucial to keep shots and vaccines up to date to protect your pet's health.

Are you considering a parakeet as a pet? These birds are part of the parrot family and are quite smart and sociable. Like the parrot, the parakeet has two toes that face forward and two toes that face the opposite direction.

02/14/2023

Have you ever wondered why the person who doesn’t like cats sometimes draws the attention of your feline friend? Because cats prefer interacting with humans who don’t make eye contact, the one person not interested in the cat just might be the cat’s best friend.

02/09/2023

If you are bringing home a new pet bird and already have other birds, a quarantine is highly recommended. This includes a separate room for a specified period of time, as well as a complete physical exam and screening for any health issues.

02/07/2023

Has your cat been diagnosed with a heart problem, diabetes, or other chronic illness? Even if your pet is doing well and showing no symptoms, a cat with a history of a chronic illness should visit the vet at least twice a year. That way, any recurrent issues can be dealt with as soon as possible.

02/02/2023

It's fairly easy for your horse to get sores and cuts that can then make it virtually impossible for the animal to grind feed. That can create nutrition issues that can become serious if not addressed.

01/31/2023

Dental diseases are a fairly common occurrence with our feline companions. To help prevent gingivitis, brush your cat’s teeth with cat-friendly toothpaste, and give them toys to chew on to help remove tartar buildup before it causes any damage.

01/26/2023

You may want to get an OK from your veterinarian for a new chew toy for your pet. Experts say the chew toys that are too hard can actually damage your pet’s teeth. It also is dangerous when chew toys are too soft and break apart easily. In that case, your dog could choke on a piece of the chew toy.

01/24/2023

It is very important to include a variety of fresh, bird-safe food into your pet bird’s daily diet. Feeding a bird the same grain every day will not provide sufficient nutrition to ensure a healthy bird.

01/19/2023

Periodontal disease in your pet’s mouth can occur when plaque builds up on the outer layer of teeth. Brushing your dog's teeth can help. Focusing the brushing on the teeth that touch the cheek is important. If your dog often seems uncomfortable while you are brushing his or her teeth, there may be other issues going on. You may want to have your vet look at your dog’s teeth.

01/17/2023

Has your pet bird suddenly started pulling out its own feathers? This is called feather plucking and can be a sign of serious illness. If your bird starts exhibiting this behavior, he or she needs to come in as soon as possible.

01/12/2023

Not all pet food available on grocery and pet store shelves is necessarily healthy for your pets, especially those with certain health conditions or weight problems. If you're concerned about the quality of your pet's current food, ask about it during your next visit.

01/10/2023

Did you know that cats can be trained just like dogs can? Training your cat as early as possible in its life can help with behavioral problems in the future.

01/05/2023

When kept as pets, diet and lack of exercise can cause birds to become overweight. A vet can work with you to determine the ideal weight for your bird and the best diet to maintain a healthy weight for your pet.

01/03/2023

Humans and felines have more in common than meets the eye. Were you aware that both humans and cats have identical regions in their brains that are responsible for emotions? Unlike humans, however, female cats tend to be right pawed and males tend to be left pawed.
