🐀🚫 Rodenticides are extremely toxic to pets and can cause serious harm if ingested!

👀 Most rodenticides work by inhibiting the rodent’s ability to clot blood, which can cause internal bleeding in cats and dogs. If your pet has ingested rat or mouse poison, look out for lethargy and pale gums.

🙀 Don't wait for symptoms to appear—contact your veterinarian immediately for treatment!

💊 This situation is highly treatable if caught early, so be vigilant to keep your pets safe and healthy.🐶🐱

🍇🚫 STOP! Grapes and raisins are NOT pet-friendly snacks!

🐾 Even if your furry friend begs for a bite, it's best to avoid feeding them these toxic treats. Why? Because they contain tartaric acid that can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and kidney damage. Play it safe and stick to pet-safe snacks!👌

Did you know that dental treats for dogs are a great way to improve your pup’s oral health? Here are some reasons why:

1️⃣ Dental treats are made specifically to remove plaque buildup and clean your dog’s mouth.

2️⃣ They often contain ingredients that freshen breath and help maintain your pet's oral hygiene.

3️⃣ Dental treats come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and flavors, making it easy to find one your furry friend loves.

4️⃣ They are generally much more appreciated by our dogs than traditional toothbrushes or wipes.

Make sure to choose dental treats that are appropriate for your dog's size and needs. As always, talk to your vet about what dental care routine is best for your furry friend. Happy chewing! 🐾🦷

🐶🐱 Want to know if your furry friend is at a healthy weight? Here are some key points to keep in mind:

🐾 You should be able to feel their ribs under a slight fat covering.

🐾 Your pet should have a visible waistline when viewed from above.

🐾 Your pet should have an abdominal tuck.

🐾 If you can see your pet’s ribs and spine, they are too thin.

🐾 On the other hand, if your pet has no discernible waistline and their belly sags, they’re too heavy.

Ask our team for more information about your pet's body condition.

🚪🚗 Pet owners, beware of what you store in your garage!🐾 Many strong chemicals and substances, such as paints, glues, and antifreeze, can be HARMFUL to your furry friends.

😿 Antifreeze is especially dangerous, as it has a sweet scent and enticing taste that can attract pets. Even a small amount can lead to serious health issues, like kidney failure or death. Keep these products locked away and out of reach to protect your pets!🙏

All pets—including indoor-only cats—are considered at risk for Lyme disease, as ticks are mobile parasites and can hitch a ride on clothing, bags, or shoes.

Although Lyme disease has never been confirmed in cats outside a laboratory setting, cats should still be considered at-risk as a preventive measure. Protect your furry friend from this debilitating condition by contacting us at (615) 444-4422.

Stay informed, stay safe, and keep your pet healthy! ❤️

Have you ever seen your cat chattering their teeth while staring intently at a bird or squirrel outside? This behavior might be more instinctual than we realize. Feline behavior specialists have noted the similarity between the teeth chattering noise and the neck bite that wild cats use to quickly kill their prey.

Kittens and cubs in the wild have the opportunity to practice this special bite, but house cats may show their excitement or frustration at seeing potential prey they can't get to. If you notice your cat's tail getting puffy or twitching in a particular way while they make these chattering noises, it's a sign they're getting excited.
