Why is your veterinarian ordering tests for your seemingly healthy pet? Routine testing of younger pets helps establish a benchmark of their normal values and can also potentially identify hidden illnesses. Older pets benefit from routine screening for common species- or breed-specific diseases, the same way people undergo normal screening tests based on hereditary diseases.

One of our favorite things to do! Dental before and after photos.

Oral health is tremendously important to your pet's overall health. Look for retail items that have a VOHC seal (Veterinary Oral Health Council) to know they are proven to reduce plaque and tartar.

When you offer your warm shirt to the most precious baby in the whole world and they start growling at you. That's when you make this face.

Patch was spayed today and she got a lot of cuddling afterwards.

Did you know that female cats can get pregnant as early as 7 month of age. We recommend spaying all female cats even if they are kept indoors away from intact male cats. Fixing them will lower the risk of serious heath problems including mammary cancers. Not to mention the possibility of your kitty escaping the house on day and finding the neighborhood stud.
