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 (252) 223-5115.

We hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Holiday.

Keep people food away from pets and instruct everyone else to do the same. If you want to share holiday treats with your pets, make or buy treats formulated just for them. The following people foods are especially dangerous for pets:
• Chocolate is an essential part of holidays for many people, but it is toxic to dogs and cats. It's safest to consider all chocolate off limits for pets, even though the harm it can cause varies based on the type of chocolate, the size of your pet, and the amount eaten.
• Other sweets and baked goods also should be kept out of reach. Not only are they often too rich for pets; they may contain the artificial sweetener xylitol, which has been linked to liver failure and death in dogs.
• Table scraps – including gravy, sauces, dressing, and meat or poultry fat or skin – should be kept away from pets. During the holidays, when our own diets tend toward extra-rich foods, table scraps can be especially hard for pets to digest and can cause pancreatitis. Bones can cause choking or intestinal blockage. Plus, many foods that are healthy for people are poisonous to pets, including onions, raisins, and grapes.
• Unbaked yeast dough can cause problems for pets, including painful gas and potentially dangerous bloating.

Decorating
Holiday plants, lights, candles, and other decorations can make the holidays festive, but they also pose risky temptations for our pets.
• Ornaments can cause hazards for pets. Breakable ornaments can cause injuries, and swallowed ornaments can cause intestinal blockage or illness. Keep any ornaments, including those made from salt-based dough or other food-based materials, out of reach of pets.
• Tinsel, ribbons, wreaths, and other decorative materials also can be tempting for pets to play with and eat. These items whether swallowed in whole or in part can cause choking or intestinal blockage.
• Christmas trees can tip over if pets climb on them or try to play with the lights and ornaments. Consider tying your tree to the ceiling or a doorframe using fishing line to secure it.
• Water additives for Christmas trees can be hazardous to your pets if swallowed. Avoid adding anything to the water for your tree if you have pets in the house.
• Electric lights can cause burns when a curious pet chews the electrical cords.
• Candles and oil lamps are attractive to pets as well as people. Never leave a pet alone in an area with a lit candle or lamp; it could result in a fire.
• Flowers and festive plants can result in an emergency veterinary visit if your pet gets hold of them. Poinsettias, amaryllis, mistletoe, balsam, pine, cedar, and holly are among the common holiday plants that can be dangerous and even poisonous to pets who eat them. The ASPCA offers lists of plants that are toxic to dogs and cats.
• Potpourris should be kept out of reach of inquisitive pets. Liquid potpourris pose risks because they contain essential oils and other ingredients that can severely damage your pet's mouth, eyes and skin. Non-liquid potpourris containing flowers, leaves, bark, herbs, and/or spices could cause problems if eaten

Did you know that canine cognitive dyscfunction syndrome can be prevented with an antioxidant rich diet and plenty of mental stimulation? Taking your dog on a walk and allowing them to smell their surroundings or getting them interactive toys can be extremely mentally stimulating for them! If you think your dog may be showing signs of this disorder, give us a call today at (252) 223-5115. In the meantime, check out this helpful article for tips on maintaining a healthy lifestyle for your pup.

One of the key reasons for the increased longevity of altered cats is their reduced risk of certain types of cancer. Intact female cats have a greater chance of developing pyometra (a potentially fatal uterine infection) and uterine, mammary gland, and other cancers of the reproductive system. Neutering male pets eliminates their risk of testicular cancer and eliminates the possibility of developing benign prostatic hyperplasia, which can affect their ability to defecate. Questions? Contact us today at (252) 223-5115.

Similar to humans, dogs need regular exercise to stay in good and healthy condition. Canines are active animals – especially as many breeds were bred for high activity levels. A lack of exercise can lead to decreased lean muscle strength and weaker bones. Keep your pup healthy by incorporating regular exercise into their lifestyle and don't forget to schedule regular check-ups with us! Contact us at (252) 223-5115.

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 (252) 223-5115 to set up a health plan purr-fectly tailored to their needs!

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 (252) 223-5115 to schedule a visit.

As a pet parent, we hope you never have to go through an emergency. However, if you do, make sure you have this list handy so you know when to bring your pet in case of an emergency. ☎️: (252) 223-5115

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 (252) 223-5115.

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 (252) 223-5115.

Did you know that cats have excellent night vision due to a reflective layer behind their retinas called the tapetum lucidum? This layer enhances their ability to see in low light conditions. Are you looking for a vet who puts the care of your pets first? Look no further! Contact us today at (252) 223-5115 to schedule an appointment.

Unlike dogs, cats are digitigrade, meaning they walk on their toes! This contributes to their graceful and silent movements. It also allows them to move faster! Contact us today at (252) 223-5115 for more cat care information and to schedule an exam for your kitty!

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 (252) 223-5115 to schedule a wellness appointment for your pet!

Did you know that cats are obligate carnivores? This means they require a diet consisting primarily of meat to thrive! Their bodies are adapted for hunting prey. Comment your cat's favorite foods below! Not sure what is best for your cat? Contact us at (252) 223-5115 to set up a health plan purr-fectly tailored to their needs!

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!
