🐾 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.

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! 🍗✨

They’ve been our late-night snuggle buddies, early-morning alarm clocks, and constant reminders of why we do what we do. 🐱💙 Whether they’re lounging in sunbeams or chasing shadows, these cats have stolen our hearts and inspired our passion for veterinary care.
