Question: How can I tell if my pet is overweight or underweight?

Answer: We rely on Body Condition Scoring (see the chart that is pictured next) to assess whether a patient is a healthy weight, even more than we rely on a scale. When a dog or cat is in ideal body condition, you can easily feel their ribs (picture running a finger across the knuckles of your hand squeezed into a fist). You should also see a clear indention at their waist when you look at them from the side and from overhead. Pets with extra "jiggle" around the ribs and a straight or rounded waist are overweight; those with visible or protruding ribs, prominent backbones, or a hollowed-out belly are generally underweight. Long-haired pets are best evaluated when their hair is wet and close to their bodies. Cats who lose weight often keep a persistent pouch of loose skin under their bellies. We use the scale to aid in determining your pet's target (goal) weight and to monitor the progress of weight loss or gain. We're happy to perform a weight check at any time to help you achieve your goals for your pet! 🎚️

Question: How often should I bathe my pet? 🛀

Answer: The frequency of bathing your pet depends on several factors including length of hair, lifestyle, and specific health issues. For dogs, short-haired breeds typically need a bath about once to twice a month, while long-haired breeds might require a bath every 4-6 weeks, with more frequent brushing. Active dogs that get dirty might need baths more frequently. If your dog has any skin conditions, your pet might need more frequent medicated baths. Cats generally do not need regular baths as they groom themselves. However, cats might occasionally need a bath if they get into something sticky or harmful. Always use pet-specific shampoos, as human shampoos and dish soap can be harsh on their skin. We would love to help you create a customized hygiene plan for your pet based on their individual needs! 🧼🐾

🎉 Wrapping Up Staff Appreciation Week with Audrey! 🎉

To close out Staff Appreciation Week, we’re celebrating Audrey, who was promoted from kennel supervisor to veterinary nurse just last month! (Yes, we do have a thing for promoting our awesome kennel supervisors! 😉) Audrey has already made a big impact in her new role—she’s an incredibly fast learner and always asks the best questions, which has helped her grow so much in such a short time. Her eagerness to learn and attention to detail make her a perfect fit for our nursing team.

Audrey’s dedication to the clinic is clear in everything she does, and we’re confident she’ll continue to thrive and learn even more. In her personal life, Audrey has the sweetest and most handsome gray lab named Dallas 🐾, and she recently got engaged! 💍 We’re so excited for her and all the wonderful things happening in her life!

Join us in showing Audrey some love and appreciation as we wrap up this amazing week of celebrating our dedicated team! 💙🐾

🎉 Staff Appreciation Week Continues with Peyton! 🎉

Today, we’re celebrating Peyton, one of our veterinary nurses who was promoted from kennel supervisor earlier this year, and he’s been knocking it out of the park ever since! Peyton has quickly become a key part of our nursing team, bringing not only his growing skills but also his infectious humor. He keeps the clinic laughing and always keeps us on our toes with his shenanigans! 🐾😂

What’s truly impressive is how much Peyton has learned in just a few months—and he’s only getting started! He’s really stepped up and proven himself to be a natural fit as a veterinary nurse. Peyton was ready for a change from kennel and wasn’t quite sure what direction to take, but we saw something special in him—and we were right!

Oh, and did we mention? He’s also a golf pro! ⛳ Dr. Lloyd can confirm that Peyton totally showed him up on the course one time! 😉

We’re so proud of everything Peyton has accomplished, and we know he’s going to continue to grow and thrive with us at Ridgetowne. Show him some love in the comments! 💙🐾

🎉 Staff Appreciation Week Continues with Andrea! 🎉

Today, we’re shining a spotlight on Andrea, one of our amazing veterinary nurses who has grown with us from her early days in the kennel to becoming an essential part of our nursing team. Andrea’s journey is a testament to her hard work, dedication, and love for animals. She truly cares about each and every pet that walks through the door. If your pet comes to Ridgetowne, know that he or she is in good hands with Andrea. She is also incredibly efficient and always willing to give a helping hand to her coworkers. 🐾✨

On a personal note, Andrea recently got married this past summer 👰 and has the most adorable Aussiedoodle named Ellie Mae. 🐕‍🦺

We’re so grateful to have Andrea on our team—her incredible patient care, hard work and efficiency make her a true asset to Ridgetowne Animal Clinic! It's been such a joy for us to watch her grow from kennel assistant to veterinary nurse - we are so proud of her!

🐕‍🦺 Personal pets: Stella (14), Bilbo (10), and Gilly (1 and the tiniest and fiercest Yorkie). 📚 Fun fact: Tayler is also certified to teach English as a second language!

Join us in showing Tayler some love and gratitude for her incredible dedication and care! 💙 We couldn’t be more proud to highlight her as the first of many amazing team members we’ll be celebrating this week! 🐾

Tip Tip wants to remind everyone to make sure your kitty cats have been seen for their checkup this year! Cats age much more rapidly than humans. A cat reaches the approximate human age of 15 by their first birthday and then the approximate human age of 24 by their second birthday. Each year after, your cat ages roughly 4 “cat years” for every calendar year. So your 8-year-old cat would be 48 in human years. Annual veterinary care is crucial because a lot can happen in a “cat year!" 🐱💗

Question: How often should I feed my puppy or kitten?

Answer: Feeding your puppy or kitten the right amount of food at the correct intervals is crucial for their growth and overall health. For puppies, their nutritional needs change as they grow. Here's a quick guide for puppies:

🐶 Puppies:
0-3 months: 4 meals a day
3-6 months: 3 meals a day
6-12 months: 2 meals a day

Kittens have slightly different requirements due to their rapid growth and high energy needs. Here's a quick guide for kittens:

🐱 Kittens:
0-3 months: 4-5 meals a day
3-6 months: 3-4 meals a day
6-12 months: 2-3 meals a day

Regardless of whether you have a puppy or kitten, always ensure they receive high-quality, age-appropriate food and have access to fresh water at all times. Regular feeding schedules help maintain their digestive health and energy levels. For tailored advice and to address any specific dietary needs, give us a call to schedule an appointment to discuss further!
