Play, exercise, and training are all essential for building a healthy mind and body for your young pet. These activities allow your puppy or kitten to burn energy, learn commands, and understand acceptable behavior.

In addition, engaging your pet in physical and mental activities strengthens the bond between you and helps prevent problem behaviors that may lead to pet relinquishment.

Start your furry friend on the path to good health by incorporating plenty of play, exercise, and training into their daily routine. Call to talk to your veterinarian for more information.

Did you know that dental treats for dogs are a great way to improve your pup’s oral health?

Here are some reasons why:
1️⃣ Dental treats are made specifically to remove plaque buildup and clean your dog’s mouth.
2️⃣ They often contain ingredients that freshen breath and help maintain your pet's oral hygiene.
3️⃣ Dental treats come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and flavors, making it easy to find one your furry friend loves.
4️⃣ They are generally much more appreciated by our dogs than traditional toothbrushes or wipes.

Make sure to choose dental treats that are appropriate for your dog's size and needs. As always, talk to your vet about what dental care routine is best for your furry friend. Happy chewing!
