Penny’s Comeback: A Story of Hope for Senior Cats 🐱✨

Meet Penny, a 20-year-old Siamese mix who has always ruled her home with confidence. But over the past few years, her pet parents noticed changes—stiff legs, a wobbly walk, and no more couch-jumping or hallway sprints. It was heartbreaking to see their once-active girl struggle.

Determined to help, they started Penny on monthly Solensia injections. The difference? Incredible. After just one month, she began moving more easily. Now, after multiple treatments, she’s back to patrolling the patio, running down the hall, and leaping onto the couch like she used to.

If your senior kitty is slowing down, call us today to learn about options to improve their mobility and comfort!

03/05/2025

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common yet often overlooked condition in cats, leading to chronic pain and reduced mobility. Unlike dogs, cats are experts at hiding discomfort, making it crucial for pet owners to recognize subtle signs such as decreased activity, reluctance to jump, or changes in grooming habits.

Key Considerations for Managing Feline OA:
🩺 Medication
🥩 Diet & Supplements
🏡 Home Adjustments

Have you noticed changes in your cat’s mobility or behavior? Don’t wait—schedule an appointment with us to learn more about treatment options. Let’s keep your feline friend comfortable, happy, and active!

Owning a pet is one of life’s greatest joys, but it also comes with financial responsibilities. We understand how much you love your furry companion and want to help you plan for their care.

Lifetime Costs to keep in mind:
- 🐶 Dogs: Lifetime cost is $20,000–$40,000
- 🐱 Cats: Lifetime cost is $12,000–$26,000

Unexpected Emergencies can add up fast:
- Without Insurance: Emergency visits range from $300 to $10,000+
- With Insurance: Covers up to 90% of eligible expenses, making care more affordable.

Why Pet Insurance Matters
✔️ Peace of Mind: Handle emergencies without financial stress.
✔️ Comprehensive Care: Covers illnesses, injuries, and more.
✔️ Budget-Friendly: Manage costs effectively over your pet’s lifetime.

Investing in pet insurance ensures your furry friend gets the care they need—when they need it most. 🐾

Want to protect your pet’s health while managing dental care costs? Here are some practical tips to keep their teeth in great shape and avoid expensive treatments down the road:

🪥 Preventive Care: Brushing with pet-safe toothpaste, using dental chews, or dental wipes can help reduce plaque buildup and delay the need for professional cleanings.
💸 Take Advantage of Promotions: Many veterinary clinics offer discounts during National Pet Dental Health Month in February—plan ahead to save.
📋 Check Your Pet Insurance: Review your policy to see if dental care is covered or if there are discounts available for routine cleanings.
📅 Stay Consistent: Regular dental exams and cleanings (annually or biannually) are essential in preventing advanced dental disease, which can lead to loose teeth, abscess teeth, and other significant health complications.
💳 Explore Payment Options: Ask your veterinarian about payment plans or financing to make dental care more manageable.

Preventive care is not only an investment in your pet’s health but also a way to avoid higher costs later. Prioritizing their dental health now can lead to a longer, happier life for your furry friend.

Roberta’s Dental Journey! 🦷🐾

Meet Roberta, a 7-year-old English Setter rescued from Greece. Years of running free left her teeth with wear and tear, and a lot of tartar. She never had a dental exam or cleaning, so we knew it was time to give her the care she needed.

After her dental cleaning, she had:
- Fresher breath
- Improved appetite
- More playful energy – her favorite activity is playing with her brother Skip

Now, Roberta is happier, healthier, and ready to patrol the yard or snuggle up during rainy days.

Regular dental care isn’t just about fresh breath; it’s about improving your pet’s overall quality of life. Contact us to book your pet’s dental exam appointment today.
