Pet Talk by Dr. Norette L. Underwood : Litter Box Training for your Cat

Cats are known for their cleanliness and natural instincts, making litter box training a relatively straightforward process. Here are some essential tips for successfully training your cat to use a litter box.

1. **Choose the Right Litter Box**: Ensure the litter box is the right size for your cat, with low sides for easy access. A simple, open litter box often works best.

2. **Select the Appropriate Litter**: Cats generally prefer unscented, clumping litter that is soft on their paws. Experiment to find the type your cat likes best.

3. **Position the Litter Box Wisely**: Place the litter box in a quiet, accessible location. Avoid noisy or high-traffic areas to ensure your cat feels safe and secure while using it.

4. **Introduce Your Cat to the Litter Box**: Gently place your cat in the litter box and let them explore. It helps to do this after meals or naps when they are most likely to need to use it.

5. **Maintain Cleanliness**: Scoop the litter box daily and change the litter regularly. Cats are more likely to use a clean litter box.

6. **Use Positive Reinforcement**: Praise and reward your cat when they use the litter box correctly. Positive reinforcement encourages good habits.

7. **Be Patient**: Every cat is different. If your cat has accidents, clean the area thoroughly to remove any odor and continue encouraging litter box use.

Cats are very picky so when you find the litter they like stick with it. They generally do not like dusty or scented litters. You need 1 litter box per cat. Scoop daily.

By following these simple steps, you'll likely find that your cat quickly adapts to using a litter box, making life cleaner and more comfortable for both you and your cat. If you have questions about litter box training and your cat contact Dr. Norette L. Underwood of the Trumann Animal Clinic at [email protected].

October is Adopt a Dog Month! Doc's dog Barnie Moe was adopted and he is the inspiration for our Helping Paws Fund which helps cover the cost to help animals in need. Barnie has also brought so much joy to Doc's family.

If you’ve on the fence about adopting, here are a few reasons to adopt:

1. You’re Saving a Life
Each year, millions of dogs enter shelters through no fault of their own. By adopting, you’re giving one a second chance—and opening space for another animal in need.

2. You’ll Gain a Loyal Companion
There’s nothing quite like the love of a rescue dog. Many adopted dogs seem to understand they’ve been given a new start and show endless affection and gratitude.

3. Adoption Supports Your Community
When you adopt from a shelter or rescue group, your fees help fund medical care, vaccinations, and spay/neuter programs for other animals in need.

4. You Can Find the Perfect Match
Shelters and rescue organizations work hard to match dogs with families that fit their lifestyle—whether you’re looking for an energetic hiking buddy or a couch companion.

5. It’s Good for Your Health
Studies show that dogs reduce stress, boost mood, and encourage exercise. Adopting a dog doesn’t just change their life—it can make yours happier and healthier, too.

🐾 This Adopt a Dog Month, open your heart and home to a shelter dog. You may just find your new best friend waiting for you.

It's National Walk Your Dog Week, the perfect reminder of how important daily exercise is for your pup’s overall health and happiness. As a veterinarian, I often remind pet parents that regular walks provide more than just a bathroom break—they’re an essential part of your dog’s well-being.

1. Physical Health
Walking helps keep your dog at a healthy weight, strengthens muscles and joints, and supports cardiovascular health. Regular activity can also reduce the risk of obesity-related conditions like diabetes and arthritis.

2. Mental Stimulation
Every walk is a chance for your dog to explore new scents, sights, and sounds. This enrichment reduces boredom and can help prevent behavioral issues caused by pent-up energy.

3. Bonding Time
Spending time together on walks strengthens the bond between you and your pet. It’s also a great opportunity to reinforce training and good leash manners.

4. Stress Relief—for You Both
Walking isn’t just good for dogs—it benefits humans too! Regular strolls improve your mood, reduce stress, and add more activity to your own day.

Our Dog of the Week is the Hungarian Vizsla, like our client Beauxduke!

With their sleek golden-rust coats, soulful eyes, and boundless enthusiasm, these dogs have captured the hearts of families, hunters, and active pet owners worldwide.

A Sporting Heritage
The Vizsla’s history dates back hundreds of years in Hungary, where they were bred as versatile hunting dogs. Known for their excellent noses and natural pointing ability, they excel at retrieving both on land and in water. Even today, they’re prized as skilled sporting companions.

The “Velcro Dog”
One of the Vizsla’s nicknames is the “Velcro dog.” Why? Because they love sticking close to their humans! They thrive on companionship and often follow their families from room to room. This loyalty makes them wonderful family dogs but also means they don’t do well when left alone for long stretches.

Energy to Spare
Vizslas are athletes at heart. They need plenty of exercise—running, hiking, swimming, or agility training are all great ways to keep them happy. Without enough activity, their energy can turn into restlessness (and sometimes mischief).

Brains and Beauty
Along with their athleticism, Vizslas are highly intelligent and eager to please, which makes training rewarding. Positive reinforcement and consistency go a long way in helping them shine.

A Dog for Active Families
If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and energetic companion who will keep you moving, the Hungarian Vizsla might be the perfect match. Just be ready for lots of exercise—and lots of cuddles afterward.

Did you know osteoarthritis (OA) affects more dogs than most people realize?
Because it develops gradually, the condition is often overlooked until discomfort becomes obvious. OA occurs when the protective cartilage in a joint breaks down, leading to painful bone-on-bone contact.

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
⚠️ Stiffness when getting up or moving
⚠️ Slowing down on daily walks
⚠️ Reluctance to jump, climb, or run

Osteoarthritis is progressive and can seriously impact quality of life. Spotting the symptoms early gives your dog the best chance at staying comfortable and active. if you suspect your dog may be showing signs of OA, please give Trumann Animal Clinic a call today.
