Our pets can easily overheat in the summer, but you can take precautions to keep them safe and cool. Follow these tips:
✅ For cats that have outdoor time, make sure they have access to plenty of shade and water.

Pet Hydration Month 💧
Let’s talk about the importance of keeping your pet hydrated!
During the warmer months, water requirements can increase, and your pet can be more prone to dehydration. The absence of a fresh water source can lead to organ damage and pose life-threatening risks to your furry companion.
Make sure there's always a cool and fresh source of water available to quench your pet’s thirst.
Remember - a hydrated pet is a healthy and happy pet! 🐾
Guide For Pet Boarding ✈️
There’s a lot to consider when selecting a boarding facility for your pet. Here are some of the key items to look for:
✅ Vaccine Requirements: Boarding facilities should have clear (and enforced!) vaccine requirements for all guests. These guidelines keep your pet safe.
✅ Schedule: Feeding and play schedules should be presented to you prior to your pet’s stay. Bringing their regular diet is advised to have a piece of comfort from their daily routine and to help prevent G.I. issues associated with an acute diet change.
✅ Play Room: Your furry companion will need exercise and fun while you’re away. Ensure there is some kind of playroom.

Call us today to get your refill or set an appointment if we haven't seen your cat in over a year. Special thanks to Squigman & and Soup #RevolutionPlus @zoetispetcare @johncena
