New puppy or kitten? No problem! We are taking new clients 😊

Leela would like you to know that going to the vet was fun and she got lots of treats and all the love from the entire team while she was here for her first visit. 🐶🐾

It's important we create positive experiences at the vet with the help of treats and positive reinforcement to create good behaviors for future visits. This not only applies to puppies, but to all the patients we see. We use fear free techniques and approaches to ensure your furry loved ones have the least stressful experience possible when they come to see us. ❤

If your pet is chipped, make sure their information is up to date. To help keep pets close to their loved ones, share this post and remind your friends to !

Is your pet scooting or licking their rear? It could be their a**l glands.

A**l glands are located on the rear of dogs and cats. The glands produce an oily, fishy-smelling fluid that helps with scent marking. Sometimes these glands can get impacted or infected.

Soft, consistent stool, as well as allergies, are common causes of irritation. If your pet is scooting, licking excessively, or showing signs of discomfort around their rear end, contact us! We will help to identify the cause and determine the best course of treatment.

With tomorrow being Hairball Awareness Day, we wanted to remind our cat parents about the importance of preventing hairballs.

Accumulated from excessive grooming, hairballs can build in your cat’s digestive system and either get coughed up or in some cases, need surgical removal.
If your cat is excessively vomiting, lethargic, loses their appetite, or has diarrhea or constipation, these may be signs of a blockage and you should contact our team immediately.
