"Most humans celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by wearing green and drinking artificially colored beverages. How do dogs celebrate St. Patty’s? They write limericks, of course."

Which limerick was your favorite?
This was ours:

Bo slept in the front doorway a lot,
Soon it was his favorite spot;
His whole family swore,
Instead they’d use the back door,
Bo had all his humans well-taught.

Today on International Womens, we celebrate the powerful connection between women and their dogs!!

"Dogs have been loved by humans for centuries and while we've all heard the saying, "man's best friend," dogs' bonds with women are as equally strong. In addition to being constant companions, dogs provide an emotional connection that at times rivals the ones we have with other humans."

Check out the link to see some beautiful photos!!

"Veterinary dentistry includes the cleaning, adjustment, filing, extraction, or repair of your pets' teeth and all other aspects of oral health care. These procedures should be performed by a veterinarian or a board-certified veterinary dentist. Subject to state or provincial regulation, veterinary technicians are allowed to perform certain dental procedures under the supervision of a veterinarian."

How's the breath on Fluffy lately? Is her breath akin to a garbage can or is it fresh as a daisy? Does she need a dental cleaning? Call us and let's schedule a visit to evaluate her mouth!

Dental health is an important part of a pet's overall health. A pet's teeth and gums should be checked at least once a year by a veterinarian.
