Tips to Keep Your Pet’s Teeth Healthy! 🐶🐱
Did you know that by age 3, most dogs and cats already show signs of dental disease? With a little effort, you can help keep your pet’s smile clean and their breath fresh!
1️⃣ Brush Regularly – Use a pet-safe toothbrush and toothpaste (never human toothpaste!)
2️⃣ Dental Treats or Chews – Specially designed chews can help reduce plaque and tartar buildup.
3️⃣Use Water Additives – Easy to mix into your pet’s water bowl, these help fight bacteria that cause plaque.
4️⃣Schedule Annual Dental Exams – Just like us, pets need regular dental checkups and cleanings.

🩺 Is Your Pet Due for Their Annual Blood Work? 🐶🐱

As part of a complete wellness plan, annual blood profiles are strongly recommended for both dogs and cats — even if they appear perfectly healthy!
✅ Detect early signs of illness (like kidney, liver, or thyroid issues)
✅ Establish healthy baseline values
✅ Monitor changes as your pet ages
✅ Provide the best possible care—before problems arise
Whether your pet is young, adult, or senior, annual blood work gives us a window into their internal health.

🐶🌼 Attention Dog Parents
Just like us, our pups can suffer from seasonal allergies too — and they can’t exactly tell us when something’s wrong.
Common signs your dog might be dealing with allergies:
🔹 Excessive scratching or licking
🔹 Red, irritated skin
🔹 Watery eyes or sneezing
🔹 Ear infections or paw chewing
💊 Consider allergy meds or cytopoint Injection.

Fun Friday Fact!🥳

Did you know that cats can make over 100 different sounds, while dogs make about 10?
It’s one of the reasons cats can be so expressive — each sound can mean something different, from asking for attention to letting you know it’s dinner time.

Whether your pet is quiet or talkative, we enjoy seeing their unique personalities shine through when they visit us.🐾

Feel free to share a photo of your pet in the comments — we love seeing our extended furry family!

💧🐱 Cat Tip: Keep Your Kitty Hydrated!

Many cats don’t drink enough water — which can lead to kidney or urinary issues.
Add wet food to their meals
Use a cat water fountain (they love moving water!)
Keep multiple bowls around the house
Hydrated cat = healthy cat! 😺

It’s International Coffee Day☕🐶 and we know our fellow pet parents rely on a good cup of coffee to keep up with their furry family members!
While the coffee is just for the humans, don’t worry! Dogs can celebrate by having Pup cups too! (Makes a great alternative).
Thanks for trusting us with the care of your pets — and cheers to the perfect blend of coffee and companionship. ❤️

🐾 Breed Spotlight Fun Fact! 🐾
Dachshunds may be small, but they were originally bred for a very big job! 🦡💪
These long-bodied pups were developed in Germany to hunt badgers — their name even means "badger dog" in German (“Dachs” = badger, “Hund” = dog)!

Their long, low build and bold attitude made them perfect for digging into burrows and chasing out stubborn prey. No wonder they’re still so fearless today! 🐾❤️
