As a loving pet owner, we do everything to ensure our pet’s stay in the best health possible, from feeding them their favorite food and treats to making sure they are up to date on their preventive care.
But are you closely considering your dog’s oral care? If not, it's time to change up your routine. After all, proper oral care is what makes the difference between healthy dog teeth and an oral condition that could be causing your pup discomfort (or even pain).

Get Your Cat Back to Their “Normal” with Solensia
Cats hide almost everything, especially pain. But if your cat is suffering from osteoarthritis (OA) pain, you’ve probably noticed changes in their everyday behavior. Things like jumping, climbing stairs, and even playing might not be so easy for them.

Solensia is a monthly injection administered at your vet's office that can help control the pain your cat may experience from OA.
Use this checklist to identify your cat’s activities and behaviors that may be signs of osteoarthritis.
Call us to see if Solensia is right for your cat!
