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 theyâre sleeping? Thatâs because dogs dream as well with comparable sleep patterns to humans. Not just that but they also have a âsixth sense.â 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.

Remember, any food that isn't a regular part of a pet's dietâespecially fatty foods like ham, gravy, dark turkey meat, and turkey skinâcan 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)âso 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 catâs diet and nutrition but donât know where to start, we are here to help! Contact us today at (615) 758-6406.
And they called it puppy love....
