Happy Veterinary Receptionist Week! We appreciate every one of our receptionists here at San Juan Veterinary Clinic and we stand with you. You are the primary contact between clients and doctors. You are the magicians who can fix a problem when nobody else can. You are seen. You are heard. You are appreciated.
We see you doing everything you possibly can to help us when we are short staffed. We see you shed tears when our clients who you know so well lose a beloved pet. We see you on your good days and bad days still smiling and helping our hospital run so smoothly.
Thank you for all of your amazing and hard work! We appreciate your dedication 💕

A cat tree is a great way to increase vertical territory because it provides the opportunity for more than one cat to share a close space while maintaining status. Cats who wouldn’t share close quarters on a windowsill or table, may be at ease enough to share a cat tree. The different levels of the perches allow cats to be close but not right next to each other.

Initially, a cat tree may seem to be an extravagant purchase but a good quality one will last many, many years. The tree provides ownership for the cat. It's something that, for the most part, only contains kitty's scent.

When shopping for a cat tree, keep your cat’s size and personality in mind. If you have a large cat, don’t choose a tree with small, flat perches. The cat has to feel comfortable on the perch and not be worried about a leg hanging over the side. Choose a tree with perches that are an appropriate size for your cat. Large cats need large perches. As for the type of perches to look for, my recommendation is “U” shaped ones because they allow the cat to feel the perch against his back. Cats like to back up against things when resting because it helps them feel more secure and lest vulnerable to a rear ambush. If you do opt for a tree with flat perches, at least make sure they’re wide enough for a cat to be comfortable.

Every year on April 22, Earth Day reminds us to appreciate our beautiful planet and protect it. But did you know your pets can be a part of the celebration? Here are some fun and eco-friendly ways to celebrate Earth Day with your animal companions:

Go Green at Home:

Hit your local trails: Lace up your walking shoes, grab your leash, and head outdoors with your dog for a nature hike. Explore new trails, breathe in the fresh air, and soak up the scenery together.

Backyard fun: Don’t have time for a long hike? No problem! Create an Earth Day obstacle course in your backyard with recycled materials like cardboard boxes and tunnels. Your cat can chase a feathery toy through the “eco-maze” while your bunny enjoys hopping over cardboard “hurdles.”

Park clean-up: Help keep our parks clean by picking up trash with your furry companion by your side. This is a great way to bond with your pet while giving back to the environment. Just remember to bring biodegradable p**p bags!

Plant a pet-friendly garden: Planting a garden is a fantastic way to improve air quality and create shade for your furry/feathery companions. Choose trees, flowers, and herbs that are safe for your animals such as catnip, parsley, or oat grass. This is a fun and sustainable way to provide your furry friend with a healthy snack, too.
