Panting is normal to an extent, but it is important to be mindful of what signs to look out for when it is unhealthy. If your doggy is breathing more loudly and raspier than usual, making a ton of effort to breathe, panting straight for 20 minutes or more, or appearing stressed, there may be underlying issues. Schedule a visit to our veterinary clinic by contacting us at (615) 758-6406.

Research concludes that cats cannot have autism; however, there are many behavioral similarities between special-needs cats and humans with autism. Since autism is focused on human behavior, cats cannot be diagnosed, but they sometimes exhibit autism spectrum traits. Examples include becoming obsessed with hunting or chasing certain things, enjoying their alone time, being easily overstimulated, easily spooked by noises or bright lights, and even being overwhelmed by too much attention. If you notice any strange behavior in your kitty, bring them in for a check-up with us so that we can identify if there are any issues affecting your cat’s behavior. Give us a call at (615) 758-6406 to schedule an appointment.

German shepherds are an athletic and high-energy breed of dog that demand multiple hours of daily activity. It isn’t always easy to know when your pup needs some extra exercise, but keeping these behaviors in mind will provide some better insight into whether you’ll need to make some changes to their routine. Symptoms of a restless dog include destructive behavior, excessive barking, weight gain, lethargy, and depression. Are you searching for more information about how to properly care for your dogs?

You may still notice changes in their eye color up until their first birthday. Stay current with your cats' healthcare needs and schedule their appointment by calling (615) 758-6406.

Don't miss your pet's vaccination appointment! Vaccines work by introducing a weakened form of a virus into the body which stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies.

Schedule a vaccination appointment with us today at (615) 758-6406.

Dog owners should be vigilant about checking what they give their dogs. It is possible for some ingredients to be remarketed under different names, which can lead to confusion. It is important to remember that xylitol poisoning can result in hypoglycemia, seizures, and even death in dogs. We urge you to contact us at (615) 758-6406 right away if your pet ingested this ingredient by accident.

Kittens require a large amount of energy – almost two to three times that of an adult cat! They also need about 30% of that energy to come from protein. Make sure that the food you are feeding them is specifically formulated for kittens to ensure that they are receiving all the important nutrients your fur baby needs to grow strong and healthy! Your kitten will need to eat kitten-specific food until it reaches maturity at about one year of age. Not sure what is best for your cat? Contact us at (615) 758-6406 to set up a health plan purr-fectly tailored to their needs!

Typically, puppies require about 6 to 10 hours of sleep daily. Every puppy is different, with some needing up to 20 hours a day to maintain their high levels of energy. However, by 16 weeks, most breeds will be able to sleep throughout the night. Daytime napping is perfectly healthy for your growing baby dog and is nothing to be concerned about. Sleep is essential for healthy development, and creating a schedule will help your pupper get the right balance of sleep and play time. New dog? 🐶 We can't wait to meet your furry family member!

Just like kids, dogs can also deal with separation anxiety. This can cause changes in behavior such as pacing, loss of appetite, destroying furniture, and excessive drooling and/or whining. To prevent them from experiencing this, try not to let them be alone for a long period of time, do daily exercise, and give them toys they enjoy! In some cases, your pet may need prescription medication. Have questions? Contact us today at (615) 758-6406.

Cats are nimble, flexible, and quick due to the 230 bones in their body! Despite having an additional 24 bones to that of humans, who only have 206, the skeleton of a cat is very similar to ours. Cats have 13 ribs while humans have 12, and both have clavicles, but unlike humans, they are unattached to other bones.

We all want our homes to smell nice and clean; however, as pet owners, we have to be extra careful that whatever we are using isn’t harmful to our fur babies. Incense is dangerous to cats as their sense of smell is 14 times stronger than that of humans and the smell can be too intense for them to handle. It also produces smoke, which can be bad for their respiratory system and increase the risk of your cat developing asthma. Opt for cat-friendly methods of keeping your house smelling fresh and clean by dusting frequently, using baking soda to absorb odors, having fragrant plants such as rosemary or sage, or simmering a pot of water with cinnamon sticks, apples, or vanilla. Stay current with your cats' healthcare needs and schedule their appointment by calling (615) 758-6406.

07/12/2024

At our pet wellness visits, we will examine your pet carefully, administer vaccines, and recommend further testing if necessary. Don't forget to schedule your visits in a timely manner, we can be reached at (615) 758-6406.

Has it been a while since we've seen you and your pet? Remember, after a cat or dog has reached one year of age, they generally just have to visit us once a year. During this annual vet visit, animals will have a complete physical to check for any signs of concern. Additionally, updated booster shots will be given during these visits as needed. We can't wait to see you and your pet soon! Schedule an appointment with us at (615) 758-6406!

Did you know that cats have a highly developed sense of hearing? They can detect a wide range of sound frequencies. They can hear sounds that are both higher and lower in frequency than compared to humans! Crazy, right? Contact us for more information about how to care for your cat. Call us at (615) 758-6406.

Puppy socialization is one of the essential ingredients for a happy, well-behaved, and confident dog. Missing out on socialization during puppyhood can contribute to behavior issues like leash reactivity and fear-based aggression. A week after your puppy has had their first round of vaccines, it's a good time to start doing puppy-safe socialization activities. You should never bring your puppy to a dog park or other area where groups of dogs frequently gather until your pup has received all of their vaccinations in their initial puppy series (around 17 weeks old). Is it time to get your pet vaccinated? Schedule a vaccination appointment with us today at (615) 758-6406.

Have you ever noticed that your pup twitches while they’re sleeping? That’s because dogs dream as well with comparable sleep patterns to humans. Not just that but they also have a “sixth sense.” Your pooch can sense things before they happen and show that by acting out with hiding, weird behavior, and whining. Dogs are truly one of a kind. Stay pawsome! Give us a call at (615) 758-6406 to schedule a visit.

Have you seen your cat playing and twisting as if they really have 9 lives? Cats are actually known for their agility and flexibility! They have flexible spines that allow them to twist and turn in mid-air, and their skeletons contain more bones than humans. Contact us today at (615) 758-6406 to schedule a wellness appointment for your pet!

We are grateful for our role in keeping your four-legged family members healthy and happy. We look forward to seeing you in the year to come!

Remember, any food that isn't a regular part of a pet's diet—especially fatty foods like ham, gravy, dark turkey meat, and turkey skin—can cause issues ranging from diarrhea to pancreatitis, and some human foods can even poison your pets. Side dishes like stuffing and mashed potatoes may contain garlic, onion, leeks, or chives that are toxic to dogs and cats. Desserts may include dangerous-to-pets ingredients like chocolate, raisins, currants, and Xylitol (a popular sugar substitute)—so reserve the sweet stuff for humans only. Plus, chewing and swallowing bones may cause a life-threatening obstruction that requires emergency surgery.

Like many other mammals, cats are not able to properly digest the lactose in milk. Gastrointestinal issues, such as bloating, diarrhea, and gas can be caused by milk. If you give whole or 2% cow milk to your cats, you can also be adding an unhealthy amount of fat into their diet. Looking to improve your cat’s diet and nutrition but don’t know where to start, we are here to help! Contact us today at (615) 758-6406.
