Looking for a forever home:

Hello!! My name is Biscuit!!!

Biscuit is a 5.5 year old bright eyed and very devoted neutered chihuahua mix. He loves to snuggle and cuddle, has a happy personality, and a curlicue tail. He knows basic tricks like sit, and he's a quick learner. He does well on a leash and he enjoys an easy walk (he's an ambler, not a runner :-). While he has bursts of "zoomies" he's mostly a chill, laidback boy. He's crate trained and housebroken, but would prefer a homebody and freedom to be out in the house. He's fine around small children, but he prefers teens/adults. He does well with other dogs, no exposure to cats. He's been with the same family since he was puppy, but, due to life changes, they're no longer able to keep him. They hope to find a great match for Biscuit in his new forever home

Knoxville Alert: I-275 Set for Weekend Closures Amid Bridge Replacement Project

Motorists in Knoxville, take note: you'll need to adjust your travel plans as the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) implements closures on I-275 for bridge replacement work. According to WVLT, the sections near downtown Knoxville are set to close on two upcoming weekends from 7 p.m. Friday until 6 a.m. Monday. The first closure will impact travel from July 11 through July 14, and the second from July 18 through July 21.

As all of you know, the weather is heating up quickly! In order to keep your pets safe, please follow this link for Hot-Weather-Safety Tips to ensure that your pet stays as cool as possible this summer ☀🐾

https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/general-pet-care/hot-weather-safety-tips

💧 Give pets plenty of fresh, clean water when it’s hot or humid outdoors as pets can get dehydrated quickly. Make sure your pets have a shady place to get out of the sun, be careful not to over-exercise them and keep them indoors when it’s extremely hot.

🥵 Know the symptoms of overheating in pets, which include excessive panting or difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rate, drooling, mild weakness, stupor or even collapse. Symptoms can also include seizures, bloody diarrhea and vomit along with an elevated body temperature of over 104 degrees.

🚗 Never leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle. Not only can it lead to fatal heat stroke, but it’s illegal in several states!

🐱 Know that animals with flat faces, like Pugs and Persian cats, are more susceptible to heat stroke since they cannot pant as effectively. These pets, along with the elderly, the overweight and those with heart or lung diseases, should be kept cool in air-conditioned rooms as much as possible.

🐟 Rinse your dog off after swimming to remove chlorine or salt from their fur.

🐾 Don’t let dogs linger on hot asphalt when the temperature is very high. Being so close to the ground, your pooch’s body can heat up quickly, and sensitive paw pads can burn. Keep walks during these times to a minimum.

🌱 Be mindful of what you are planting in your garden. Being outdoors means more exposure to different types of plants—both ornamental and garden plants. It’s important to familiarize yourself with the plants in your yard or garden and the potential hazard they may pose to your pets.

🎆 Never use fireworks around pets. Exposure to lit fireworks can potentially result in severe burns or trauma, and even unused fireworks can contain hazardous materials.

This perfect baby is here to remind you how important it is to stay up-to-date on your puppy’s vaccination schedule! Every puppy should come in to see us several times while they are still puppies! (Yes because they’re cute, but also because most first-time vaccinations require several booster shots before they are fully effective!)

Distemper-parvo (DHPP) and Leptospirosis (Lepto) vaccinations need 3 total booster shots 3-4 weeks apart in order for your pet to be fully protected! Your puppy will need to see one of our esteemed veterinarians around 3 times while they are growing to ensure proper growth patterns and to get the vaccinations! Your puppy will also get the Bordetella vaccination (no it’s not a type of mushroom) which protects them from Kennel Cough! Lastly when your puppy is ready (at the final pediatric visit), a Rabies vaccination will be given and most vaccinations will be completed at this time!

It is still important to bring your pet in once a month, even after their vaccinations are completed, while they are still growing to get heart worm and flea-tick prevention. Accurate weights will ensure that your baby is fully covered from all invisible and visible threats!

Have any questions? Give our offices a call to set up an appointment or to speak with one of our amazing Customer Relations Specialists!

Did you all know that puppies (and kittens for that matter) require several booster shots and doctor visits while they are still growing?
