Just like in people, IBD is short for "Inflammatory Bowel Disease!"
IBD doesn't have a cure, but can be managed with changes to diet, laser therapy, and sometimes prescription medications.

"My cat is very fearful of new people and runs away from them. How do I take him to the vet?"

This we are going to talk about how we handle a scared kitties first trip to the vet:

First, try to find a vet that has . Clinics like ours are uniquely equipped to handle fearful pets without furthering their distrust.
Second, let us know when scheduling that the pet is fearful and will require a completely appointment.
Third, we will already have the environmental steps taken care of. Pheromone diffusers and a dedicated feline-only-room means your kitty will have less additional stressors to contend with on top of meeting new people for the first time.
Fourth, understand that there may come a time in their first visit where either we or you decline to proceed for the wellbeing of your cat, and that is A GOOD THING! Sometimes we need to send home calming medications and try again.

Give us a call today to ask about how we can help get your scaredy-cat the care they need!

Struggling with fleas? Flea baths not cutting it?
That's probably because the flea lifecycle is THREE MONTHS long!
And if you see adult fleas, chances are almost certain they've already laid eggs.
The only way to break the cycle is to be sure all fleas hatching are killed before they can lay more eggs for that three month duration.

The good news is we can help!

This week we are talking hunting, but this is a breed you may not think of immediately (no cheating! the picture is of a different breed๐Ÿ˜):
Which breed of dog with distinctive coat markings and which originated as a hunting dog and carriage dog is named after a historic region of Croatia?

The Dalmatian!
That's right, dalmations were originally bred for hunting!
The first written record of Dalmatians is from 1374, when the Bishop of ฤakovo in eastern Croatia described them as "hunting dogs 4 to 5 palms tall (60 to 75 cm), with short white hairs and black round spots on various parts of the body".

If you've got house guests this holiday weekend, read on to learn about how to help your pet cope:

โค๏ธWhen it comes to dogs, daily exercise helps a lot as a stress reliever, as it does in people. Try to establish a daily routine for your dog. If you will be moving this summer, once you are settled, itโ€™s important to establish that routine once more.

๐Ÿ’™Many dogs feel secure in a comfy crate they can call their own, and crate-training your pooch to be comfortable in a crate will give her a safe place to hang out. Be sure she has a nice, cuddly blanket and her favorite toys inside too.

โค๏ธIn the same way as swaddling clothes mothers use to comfort babies and small children, the calming grip of garments such as the might help reduce anxiety levels. They are available for both dogs and cats.

๐Ÿ’™And itโ€™s important to remember that most pets are not party animals. If you are having a large crowd over, even if itโ€™s just for a couple of hours, confine pets to a part of the home where they will not be disturbed during the festivities. They will be less stressed, and you will have peace of mind. Your pet should already be familiar with this safe haven and know that itโ€™s a place they can go to relax.

โค๏ธItโ€™s impossible to never have strangers and family members coming in and out of the home, so setting up and/or pheromone diffusers is an excellent way of trying to establish a feeling calm serenity and normalcy until everything really is back to normal.

Most pets aren't party animals. How to keep them sane and stress-free during family holiday visits.
