We believe that the veterinary-client-patient relationship doesn't have to be a stressful, once annual visit.
Did you know? Dogs have a "third eyelid," known as the nictitating membrane. It helps protect their eyes and keep them moist. If you notice this membrane more than usual, it could be a sign of eye irritation or other issues. Keep an eye out for your pup's eye health!
Curious about your cat's behavior? Purring isn't always a sign of happiness. Cats also purr when they're in pain, anxious, or even during labor. Understanding their body language and vocalizations helps us provide the best care for our furry friends. Stay attuned to your kitty's cues!
Fun Fact Alert! Dogs have an incredible sense of smell, even better than humans. In fact, their noses are so powerful that they can detect certain diseases, like diabetes and some types of cancer, just by smelling a person's breath or skin. Our canine companions truly have super snouts!
Did you know? Cats have a unique grooming pattern! They lick their fur in a specific sequence: first, the face, then the front legs, followed by the body, and finally the back legs. This meticulous routine not only keeps them clean but also helps regulate their body temperature. Keep your feline friends feeling fabulous!

There are cats who have more than 18 toes. These extra-digit felines are referred to as being “polydactyl.”
Speaking of sleeping … all dogs dream, but puppies and senior dogs dream more frequently than adult dogs.
Fun Fact: About 10% of cats are ambidextrous.
Yawning is contagious—even for dogs. Research shows that the sound of a human yawn can trigger one from your dog. And it’s four times as likely to happen when it’s the yawn of a person they know.
A cat that is swiping at your ankles might not be aggressive, they’re likely just bored and looking to play.
Greyhounds can beat cheetahs in a race. While cheetahs can run twice as fast as greyhounds, they can only maintain that 70 mph speed for about thirty seconds. A Greyhound can maintain a 35 mph speed for about seven miles. So, the cheetah may start out first, but the greyhound will soon overtake him.
Thieving behavior is not uncommon among cats. They will often grab objects like stuffed animals, feather dusters, and other things that remind them of prey.
A recent study shows that dogs are among a small group of animals who show voluntary unselfish kindness towards others without any reward. This is one fact dog lovers have known all along.
Cats are fastidious creatures about their “bathroom.” If you have more than one cat, you should have more than one litter box per cat, meaning cats + 1 = litterboxes.
Your cat’s grooming process stimulates blood flow to their skin, regulates their body temperature and helps them relax.
Dogs curl up in a ball when sleeping to protect their organs—a hold over from their days in the wild, when they were vulnerable to predator attacks.
Kittens can be spayed or neutered when they are only eight weeks old. If possible, these procedures should be performed in the first 5 months of your cat’s life.
A dog’s sense of smell is legendary, but did you know that their nose has as many as 300 million receptors? In comparison, a human nose has about 5 million.

A little about Axel from his wonderful foster mama:
He was hit by a car and taken to a shelter. He was set to be euthanized that day so I took him. He had a severely broken leg. He's had surgery and is doing AMAZING.
He is the SWEETEST dog.
He loves to snuggle right next to a human.
Very well behaved and quiet during the day.
Gets along great with all of my dogs. I have never seen any signs of aggression. He does have a prey drive - likes to bark and chase birds etc. outside - so not sure how he'd do with cats.
He is very calm and chill - he does also love to play and run. His activity has been limited due to his surgery but he is eager to get some play/run time in. l love seeing his goofy side come out.
Loves to destroy tennis balls.
CAN NOT be crated - he will hurt himself.
He has a bit of separation anxiety and will bark when left alone - though I go into the office 3 days a week for a full day and he has not destroyed anything - just barks.
Potty trained and knows commands. He is a great listener.
All around he is an amazing dog and needs a loving home where he can be by his human as much as possible.
His microchip is from 2015 so he’s estimated to be 7-8 years old but seems much younger!
If you’re interested in Axel send us a DM and we’ll connect you to his foster mom!

Let's talk about the VOHC and dental treats!
-The Veterinary Oral Health Council conducts studies to see if oral health products do what they say they do.
-Dental treats can help prevent plaque and tartar build up if used alongside teeth brushing.
-Only using dental treats for your pets is the same as a human only chewing gum and never brushing their teeth.
Grapes and raisins, as well as onions, garlic, and chives, are all extremely harmful foods for cats. Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure — although the reasoning behind that isn’t clear. Meanwhile, onions, garlic, and chives wreak havoc on your cat’s gastrointestinal system and can cause anemia.
Why is canine health so important?
-Bad breath can be the first sign of a dental concern. It could mean tartar build up, tooth decay, gum disease, or oral infections
-If dental disease goes untreated bacteria can enter their bloodstream which can lead to heart, kidney, or liver problems.
-Brushing your dog's teeth is the most effective way to prevent dental disease. Dental treats can help, but using dental treats without brushing their teeth is the same as a human only chewing gum and never brushing their teeth.
-Teeth brushing should be done every day or every other day
-If you would like a link demonstrating how to get your dog used to brushing their teeth let us know!
