Happy Monday Motivation CAC friends.

Did you know it takes an average of 66 days to form a habit?

“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” – Aristotle

Consider starting a positively impactful behavior in your life. Incorporate your fur kid. Use your imagination! Maybe an extra walk together to get the mail? A quiet moment of mindful breathing? Treat yourself to a good habit! You deserve it!

Happy Caturday to all the kitty parents out there!
Brushing your cat is more than just a grooming routine; it's a vital part of their care and well-being. Firstly, it strengthens the bond between you and your feline friend, turning each grooming session into a moment of affection and trust. It also gives you a chance to monitor your cat’s skin and coat condition, helping you catch issues like fleas, lumps, or infections early. Regular brushing reduces hairballs, which can be uncomfortable for your cat, and prevents painful matting of their fur. These benefits underscore the importance of keeping a grooming routine.

Welcome to Wellness Wednesday, where we focus on keeping your beloved pets healthy and happy. Today, let's talk about heartworms, a serious and easily spread parasite transmitted by mosquitoes. Our warm, rainy climate provides ideal conditions for these pests to thrive, putting our furry companions at risk. Educating pet parents about prevention is crucial, as it's the only surefire way to protect against these harmful parasites. During every wellness visit and even some sick ones, we emphasize the importance of prevention.
But how do you know if your dog has heartworms?
Be on the lookout for signs such as a mild, persistent cough, reluctance to exercise, fatigue after moderate activity, decreased appetite, weight loss, difficulty breathing, and a fluid-filled, swollen abdomen. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's essential to seek veterinary care immediately.

Happy Wellness Wednesday, folks!
Let's talk about the importance of Year-Round Parasite Prevention in Georgia:
Year-round parasite prevention is essential for pet owners due to the state's mild climate, which allows insects like ticks to thrive all year.
Ticks are particularly active in colder seasons and pose a significant health risk to both pets and humans by transmitting diseases such as Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, and Anaplasmosis. These illnesses can lead to severe health issues in our furry companions, making proactive prevention critical. Not only are these diseases dangerous for your fur kids, but for the entire family!
One effective strategy is using Nexgard Plus, a monthly chewable treatment that protects pets against ticks, fleas, heartworms, and intestinal parasites.
To further shield your pets, regularly check them for ticks after outdoor activities, maintain a tidy yard, use preventive treatments, limit exposure to tick-prone areas, and stay informed about tick-borne diseases. By taking these steps, you can help ensure the health and safety of your beloved pets.
Let us know how we can assist you in keeping your fur kids safe today!

Donations for such initiatives are always appreciated, as they ensure more veterans experience this transformative connection. As we honor our veterans and invite them to share pictures and stories of their beloved fur kids, celebrating the joy and gratitude they bring.

Welcome to Wellness Wednesdays, where we focus on keeping your furry friends healthy and happy!

Protecting your pets from parasites is essential, and we've got six practical tips to help:

🐾 Ensure year-round parasite prevention, as your home offers an ideal environment for these pests regardless of the weather.
🐾 Always clean up after your pet, as parasites can linger in the soil and find their way back to your pet.
🐾 Regular baths not only keep your pet looking their best, but also help detect any external parasites.
🐾 Annual screenings for heartworms and intestinal parasites are crucial for confirming your prevention methods are effective.
🐾 Be mindful of where your shoes tread, as they can bring parasites into your home. 🐾 Remember that even indoor pets can encounter parasites from soil or a stray mosquito. 🦟

Happy Caturday!
It's incredible to think that one female cat can potentially produce up to 49,000 kittens over ten years, highlighting the importance of managing feral cat populations.
In the United States, these populations can pose environmental and community challenges. That's why spaying and neutering are crucial actions we can take to help control the numbers.
Programs like the Feral Cat Program of Georgia's TNR (trap-neuter-release) initiative play a vital role in addressing this issue. TNR programs humanely trap feral cats, neuter or spay them, and then release them back to their environment. An effective way of reducing the population over time. You can make a significant impact by supporting and participating in such efforts.

Wellness Wednesday Friends!
This October, we're celebrating National Pet Wellness Month, and it's the perfect time to focus on keeping our furry companions safe and healthy. One critical aspect of pet health is parasite prevention, which plays a vital role in protecting our beloved pets from illnesses like heartworm disease. Heartworm disease, which is spread by mosquitoes, poses a significant threat to dogs and cats in Fulton County and beyond. The concerning part is that many cases go unreported, meaning the risk could be even higher than we know. Luckily, heartworm disease is entirely preventable with regular veterinary care and preventive measures, such as Nexgard Plus. By ensuring your pet is on a consistent prevention plan, you're not only safeguarding their health but also helping to curb the spread of this potentially deadly infection.
For more detailed information on heartworm disease and other parasites across the nation, be sure to visit https://capcvet.org/maps/ #/.
Let's work together to keep our pets happy and healthy!

Happy Monday CAC friends!
Everything you desire is found within you!
This week show yourself as much love and care as you do others. Use your fur kid as motivation to love yourself like they love you.
No truer words as spoken by Idil Ahmed.
"It all starts with you. How you feel about yourself. What you silently and boldly affirm. No matter what’s happening, give yourself that extra love and care. You’re transforming, growing, releasing, and becoming more aware. You’re realizing your worth and what you deserve. You’re awakening to your own mental powers that it all starts within you. This realization brings so much potential, hope, and possibilities, but at the same time a rebirth. You’re shedding so much of your past self and coming out on top. Step by step. Moment by moment. It’s all happening in such a divine way. Don’t judge yourself for your current situation, experience, or circumstance. Learn from it. Grow from it. Evolve from it. Decide right now that you are ready to move forward into your blessings. Loving yourself is the highest frequency. Nurture your mind, body, emotions, and spirit. Take some time for yourself to get your inner world in order. Everything external you have already created. Something new must now emerge. It’s time for new thoughts, new visions, and new goals. The old habits or things that haven’t worked aren’t surviving your personal growth. It’s getting easier to let go of what doesn’t work because you love yourself. It’s all good to because you’re making peace with it. You are forgiving yourself. You are forgiving every situation. You are free and feeling light allowing the excess to go. Your mind and heart is feeling lighter. It’s all okay. You are such a gift for this planet. Your existence makes an impact on everything. Love yourself. Feel good about who you are. This is the start of your magical journey. Everything will begin to seem unreal. You’ll be so glad you decided. There’s a whole world and many possibilities waiting for you to make that choice. It’s time."

TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF FOREVER...💖

Happy Caturday CAC friends!
Did you know that indoor cats are also susceptible to parasitic infection?
Cats, with their independent demeanor and curious nature, are often perceived as low-maintenance pets. However, they are susceptible to a variety of parasites, regardless of whether they are indoor or outdoor companions. Parasites like fleas, ticks, roundworms, and hookworms can easily make their way into your home. Other pets can introduce these unwelcome guests, or your cat might encounter them during a playful exploration. Even humans can inadvertently bring ticks inside after spending time outdoors. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure your feline friend receives regular, comprehensive protection through monthly treatments.
Nexgard Combo is your "One-And-Done" solution, and is essential for maintaining your cat's health and well-being, offering peace of mind that they are safeguarded against these hidden threats.
We are here to answer any questions or concerns.
Prevention is the cure.

Happy Wellness Wednesday, CACFriends!

It's officially National Pet Wellness Month, a perfect time to focus on keeping our beloved fur kids healthy and happy. One crucial aspect of pet health is parasite prevention. Heartworm disease, for instance, is a serious and potentially fatal condition that affects both dogs and cats. Unfortunately, our own Fulton County has reported numerous heartworm-positive cases. Remember, these are just the cases that have been documented; the real number could be even higher.

Heartworm disease is entirely preventable with the right precautions. It's important to understand that infected animals can further spread this dangerous parasite, making it essential to protect your pets from the start. Just one mosquito bite can lead to significant health issues for your pet.

Don't wait until it's too late—let us assist you in safeguarding your furry family members today. For more detailed information about heartworm disease and other parasitic infections across the nation, please visit the link below:

Dr. Dawkins in a short video discussing the mysterious respiratory disease in dogs that has taken over the news.

Short video from Dr Smith

Allergic reactions come from so many different triggers. From flea saliva to native grasses. Our cat and dog friends are coming in for veterinary visits for ear infections, hair loss, red itchy inflamed and infected skin. It negatively affects both fur kids and pet parents. Having pet insurance can give you the peace of mind knowing you never have to compromise your fur kid's health care. Here are 3 tips to help keep allergies at bay: 1) Essential fatty acids & clean ingredient diets. Don't forget healthy grains like barley! 2) Bathing with a soothing hypoallergenic shampoo every 3-4 weeks and wiping our paws after playing outside. Great time to look for fleas, sores or changes to our skin and coat. Remember parasite prevention! 3) Use a ph balancing, ear drying ear cleaner once a week and also after bathing, grooming or swimming. Let us know how we can help!

We are open today with normal hours.
