Cats use their whiskers to detect changes in air currents and navigate tight spaces. Never trim a cat’s whiskers, they are essential for balance and spatial awareness!

Brushing your dog or cat’s teeth may seem small, but it makes a huge impact! 🦷

Dental disease is one of the most common conditions in pets, and it can lead to pain, infections, and even organ issues.

Try brushing a few times a week and schedule annual dental cleanings to keep that smile healthy.

Our incredible Karen's Karing Van clinic staff spayed and neutered 1️⃣1️⃣8️⃣ community-owned dogs for FREE yesterday! 🙀

We have to give a HUGE shout out to the staff, volunteers, and community members who made this possible. Because of your help, so many dogs are living happier, healthier lives, and countless unwanted litters have been prevented. 💙

We're hoping to do more of these large-scale events in coming months. Our primary focus at this time is large dogs. If you have a large dog (or a puppy that will be a large dog) that needs to be spayed or neutered, please fill out this form to let us know:

Some houseplants can be toxic to cats, even just a nibble can lead to serious health issues.

Popular plants like lilies, pothos, and philodendrons can cause vomiting, lethargy, and even organ failure. Keep your curious cat safe by researching pet-safe plants and keeping harmful ones out of reach.

Keep your pet's routine consistent.

Dogs and cats thrive on structure, and regular feeding, play, and potty schedules help reduce anxiety and improve behavior.

Senior dogs might move a little slower, but their hearts are just as full of love 🐶❤️

Treasure every moment with your loyal companion.

Cats often hide signs of illness, so subtle changes like missing the litter box, sleeping more, or grooming less can be early warning signs.

Monitor behavior closely and contact us if you have any questions. We're always here to assist!
