Oftentimes, we see our cute cats twirling, but what does it mean? It can signify several things. They could be being playful, following a hunting instinct, showing excitement, or, in rare cases, it could indicate a medical issue or be caused by disorientation. However, in most cases, this is normal behavior. Always remember to monitor your cat's behavior to ensure they're in tip-top shape and not in distress. If unsure, we're here to help - call 540-343-4155.
According to a recent American Temperament Test Society study, pit bulls pass their temperament tests 87% of the time – making them 4th out of the 122 breeds tested – meaning they're one of the most affectionate and least aggressive dogs. Stay current with your dogs' health care needs and schedule their appointment by calling 540-343-4155.
At just 8 weeks old, kittens reach a significant milestone, making weaning them to solid foods the most opportune time. It fosters their independence while setting the foundation for a healthy, balanced diet that ensures their growth into playful and thriving cats!

Different breeds of cats mature at slightly different rates. Depending on your kitten's breed, it might take them somewhat longer to mature. Maine Coons, for example, aren't considered mature until about 3 or 4 years old. Some cats never even really outgrow their kitten phase! Looking for more fun facts about your cat? Follow us for more. Contact our office at 540-343-4155.
Happy New Year from Our Team! As we enter the last day of 2024, we would like to thank you for trusting us to care for your animals over this past year! We look forward to working with you in 2025. Wishing you all a safe and Happy New Year🎉
Did you know that cats have excellent night vision due to a reflective layer behind their retinas called the tapetum lucidum? This layer enhances their ability to see in low light conditions. Are you looking for a vet who puts the care of your pets first? Look no further! Contact us today at 540-343-4155 to schedule an appointment.
As a pet parent, we hope you never have to go through an emergency. However, if you do, make sure you have this list handy so you know when to bring your pet in case of an emergency.
