🐾❄️ Fun Fact Friday: Winter Joint Health for Pets!

Did you know? Just like people, cold weather can make arthritis and joint stiffness worse for our furry friends—especially in our senior pets like this cutie Hank. 🐶🐱

You might notice:
Limping after naps 💤
Slower movement on cold mornings ❄️
Hesitation to jump or climb stairs 📉

Helpful Tips:
✔️ Keep walks shorter on cold days
✔️ Provide a warm, cozy bed (off the floor!)
✔️ Use pet-safe heating pads or orthopedic pet beds
✔️ Ask us about joint supplements or pain relief options!

🐾 We’re here to help your pets stay comfy all winter long. If you’re seeing signs of joint pain, book a check-up today!

🐾 Early socialization is one of the best gifts we can give a kitten — and our technician Jessica was a pro at making one of the first experiences for these 3 babies safe, gentle, and full of love. 💛🐱

During the critical socialization window (around 2–7 weeks of age), gentle handling, soft voices, and kind care can make all the difference. Our team helps kittens feel safe and loved, building trust that lasts a lifetime.

Have questions about socializing your new kitten? We're here to help! 🐾💬

Everyone, make way for royalty — Meta the Corgi is gracing us with his most regal ‘sitting pretty’ pose today 👑🐾

From the tip of his perky ears to that perfectly fluffy little loaf body, he’s the definition of dapper. Whether he's posing for treats or just reminding us who's really in charge around here (hint: it's not the humans), Meta knows how to work every angle. Behind that adorable face is a professional snack negotiator, master of head tilts, and part-time squirrel chaser. But today, he’s all about the charm. Give this good boy a round of appaws! 🐶✨

🐾 Daylight Saving Time & Your Pets: Fun Facts! 🕰️

Pets Don’t Follow the Clock: ⏰
Cats and dogs run on routine — not time! DST can throw off their schedule, especially for meals and walks.

Feeding Confusion: 🦴
Your pet might beg earlier or seem “off” at dinner time. Their tummy says it’s time to eat!

Walk Time Woes: 🐕
Dogs may be surprised by darker mornings or evenings. Some may be reluctant to go out at new times.

Cats Notice the Change: 😾
Don’t be surprised if your cat gets cranky when breakfast is “late” (even if it’s just by 10 minutes).

Easy Fix: Adjust Slowly ⌛
Shift their routine gradually — 10–15 minutes at a time — to help them adjust smoothly.

🐾 Meet Meow Meow — a professional Churu connoisseur! 😻

Whether he's in for a quick recheck or something more involved like imaging, Meow Meow takes it all in stride… as long as there’s Churu involved, of course! 🍗✨

With our Fear Free veterinary care, one of the key tools in a Fear Free visit is FOOD! 🧠🍴 Using treats like Churu not only helps create positive associations with vet visits, but it also allows us to build trust and make even the more advanced procedures feel a little less scary.

Meow Meow is living proof that with the right approach (and the right snacks 😸), vet visits can be something to purr about! 💜
