Earlier this year, the World Small Animal Veterinary Association shared a new set of guidelines for animal reproductive control. These new recommendations suggest that spaying or neutering may not be right for every pet, and considers alternative methods like vasectomy and o***y-sparing spay.

Pets In Stitches has offered these services since 2015. If you're not sure which method is best for your pet, we can counsel you through the process.

If you have a pet rabbit, you've probably seen them jump into the air, kick their legs, and shake their head — as if they're leaping for joy. But did you know there's a term for that behavior?

It's called binkying! When rabbits binky, it means they're energetic and content. It's especially common in young rabbits as they playfully explore their surroundings.

Your pet can't talk to you, but they have plenty of ways to communicate. Watch for two key signs that they're experiencing pain:

• Limping: If you notice your pet favoring a leg or paw, they may have pulled a muscle, stepped on something sharp, or are having a flare-up of an underlying condition like arthritis. Ouch!

• Licking: If your pet is licking one spot repeatedly, they may be trying to alleviate pain. In time, this licking can lead to "hot spots," or sores that can cause even more discomfort.

If you notice either of these signs, or other unusual behavior from your pet, contact your vet to pinpoint the underlying cause.

You probably know that spaying and neutering your pets is important, but did you also know these routine procedures are associated with several health benefits?

For female pets, spaying reduces the likelihood of uterine infection and breast cancer, and reduces behavioral symptoms linked to mating cycles.

For male pets, neutering eliminates the risk of testicular cancer and reduces territorial behavior like roaming and marking.

Bentley Turner, Pepper, Maya, and Luna are just a few of the pets we've spayed or neutered recently.

Does your pet's breath stink? They can't help it, but you can. Here are a few ways to care for your canine's canines.

Regular Brushing — Brushing helps remove plaque and preserve your pet's teeth. Just make sure to use a toothpaste formulated for animals, because fluoride and other toothpaste ingredients can be harmful to pets.

Dental Treats — In between brushings, specially designed dental chews can reduce the buildup of plaque—and provide enrichment for your pet!

Vet Visits — Regular vet visits can identify dental issues early. If needed, your vet can also conduct a deep cleaning to ensure dental health.
