📞👨‍⚕️ Your pet's health starts with their diet! Just like humans, pets need to eat a balanced and nutritious diet to stay healthy.

Overfeeding or feeding them the wrong types of food can lead to a host of health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and hypothyroidism. As a loving pet owner, it's important to make sure you're doing everything you can to keep your furry friend healthy.

If you have any questions about your pet's nutritional plan, don't hesitate to give us a call at (615) 444-4422.

We're here to help!

🐶🐱 Did you know that spaying your female pet can help prevent several serious health issues?

🚫 Spaying eliminates the risk of ovarian or uterine cancer and uterine infections. Plus, it decreases the risk of mammary cancer, especially if performed before their first heat cycle.

👍 Call (615) 444-4422 to talk to your veterinarian about the benefits of spaying your furry friend.

❤️ We all want our feline friends to be healthy and happy, but heartworm disease can be a major obstacle for cats. Unfortunately, no approved treatment exists for heartworm disease in cats, and management focuses on stabilizing the cat and closely monitoring their condition with frequent chest X-rays.

Steroids and antibiotics may be used to help address inflammation and infection, but the average survival time for heartworm-infected cats is only one and a half years. Stay vigilant and protect your cat's health by taking preventative measures!

Providing year-round heartworm prevention is an important part of your pet’s health care plan. If you would like to discuss the various preventives, contact our team by calling (615) 444-4422, so we can determine what protocol would best fit you and your pet’s lifestyle.

🧠👵 Keeping your senior pet mentally stimulated is just as important as providing enrichment for young pets. Encourage your adult pet to learn new tricks, sniff for treats, and solve food puzzles to keep their cognitive function strong.

🐶🐱 As pets age, they can suffer from cognitive dysfunction, which can cause anxiety and stress if they forget familiar faces, how doors open, or the location of their food bowl.

👍🐾 Help your furry friend maintain their mental health by incorporating plenty of enrichment activities into their daily routine. Call (615) 444-4422 to talk to your veterinarian for more tips on keeping your senior pet happy and healthy.

Roundup® is not particularly dangerous, but undiluted product should be kept away from pets. If your pet is presenting any symptoms, contact your veterinarian immediately
👀 Use w**d killers responsibly to keep your pets happy and healthy!🙏
