Valentine's Day was yesterday, but did you know the month of February is known as Heart Month, and it is emphasized to raise awareness for heart health. This also includes our pets. 🐕🐈🐾

Dr. Bruce G. Kornreich, Director of the Cornell Feline Health Center and board certified veterinary cardiologist at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine wants you to know: “February is American Heart Month, and it is important that every dog and cat owner is empowered to recognize signs of heart disease in their companion animals."

Even though we can't see the heart, it is an extremely important organ to keep healthy.

Have you ever listened to your pets heart? ❤💕

Winter is a critical time for grooming your pet. Regular brushing helps distribute natural oils, prevents matting, and keeps their coat healthy and warm. For pets with longer fur, trimming around their paws can reduce snow and ice buildup, making walks more comfortable.

Don’t let winter weather take a toll on your pet’s coat. Book a grooming session or ask us for tips to keep your pet looking and feeling their best!
