From checking their heart, lungs, abdomen, eyes, ears, and mouth, it's essential to keep up with these regular exams. To help your pet feel more comfortable with being examined, practice examinations at home and pair them with plenty of treats and encouragement.

Pet owners, protect your furry friends from the dangers of rodenticides!

These products are highly toxic to pets and can cause internal bleeding if ingested. Most rodenticides work by inhibiting the rodent’s ability to clot blood, which can also harm cats and dogs.

If you suspect your pet has ingested rat or mouse poison, watch out for symptoms such as lethargy and pale gums and contact your veterinarian immediately for treatment.

Early intervention is key to a positive outcome, so be vigilant to keep your pets safe and healthy!

Did you know that your cat might be trying to find a safe place for his favorite toys? It's not uncommon for cats to drop their toys in their water or food bowl.
