🐾Feline Fact Friday!🐾

🦷 Did you know cats, just like humans, go through a teething process? Kittens first develop a set of baby (deciduous) teeth, which they later lose as their adult teeth grow in. Unlike us, kittens often swallow their baby teeth, so you might not even notice when they’re gone!

Your veterinarian can use these teeth changes to help determine a kitten’s age. Around 4-7 months, some kittens may develop bad breath as part of the teething process—totally normal!

In rare cases, a kitten might retain one or more baby teeth. This can lead to crowding, trapped food particles, and increased tartar buildup. If this happens, your vet may recommend removing the retained tooth to keep their mouth healthy.

Have questions about your kitten’s dental health? 🐾 Schedule a visit with us today!

🐾 **Feline Fact Friday** 🐾

Did mew know - the first domesticated cat was a tabby? 🐱

Our modern house cats are descendants of the African Wild Cat (Felis Silvestris Lybica), which have a light brown tabby pattern. 🐾

Over time, natural genetic mutations and selective breeding introduced a variety of colors and patterns in our feline friends! 🐈

Do you have a brown tabby at home? Does your cat embody their wild ancestors? Let us know in the comments! 👇

🐾🎉 Happy Veterinary Staff Week! 🎉🐾

This week, we’re celebrating the amazing team that keeps our clinic running smoothly, ending with our Client Service Representatives (CSRs)! 🌟🐱

CSRs are the friendly faces and voices you first encounter when bringing in your beloved feline companions. They are the heart of our front desk, always ready with a smile (even if it's behind the phone!) and full of compassion for both our clients and their kitties. 💜🐾

From scheduling appointments to answering questions, offering reassurance during stressful times, and making sure every cat parent feels heard and cared for — our receptionists play a purr-fectly crucial role in the care we provide. 🐱💼

Thank you to our CSRs for your dedication, kindness, and love for every whiskered visitor who comes through our doors! 😻✨ We couldn’t do it without you! 💪

Help us end the week of celebrating our entire team by leaving a comment below to show them some love! 💬❤️

🎉Happy Veterinary Staff Week!🐾
Today, we celebrate our Veterinary Assistants!

Did you know there's a difference between a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) and a Veterinary Assistant? 🐾 While both play critical roles in caring for your pets, RVTs are formally educated and have passed a national exam, giving them the ability to perform more advanced medical procedures like anesthesia, dental cleanings, and lab work. (Check out our post from Monday celebrating our certified technicians!)

Veterinary Assistants, on the other hand, provide invaluable support by assisting with basic tasks such as restraining cats for exams, feeding, and preparing equipment.

Both roles are essential to keeping our clinic running smoothly and ensuring your furry family members get the best care possible! 💉We are incredibly grateful for our amazing veterinary assistants who provide exceptional care, love, and comfort to all our feline friends.

From soothing nervous kitties to helping with treatments, their dedication makes a world of difference every day. 🐱

Thank you for being the heart of our Cats Only family! 🐱🧡

Happy National Veterinary Technician Week! Please join us in celebrating the hard-working and dedicated team that give your kitties the finest in feline healthcare.

It truly takes a village to care for your pets! The individualized care your cat receives would not be possible without our entire team!

Today, we're recognizing our credentialed veterinary technicians, the backbone of the clinic. In general, veterinary technicians obtain 2-4 years of post-high school education and have an associate's or bachelor's degree in veterinary technology. They must pass a credentialing examination and keep up-to-date with continuing education to be considered licensed/registered/certified veterinary technicians.

Veterinary technicians use the skills of a nurse, dental hygienist, surgical assistant, radiology technician, laboratory technician, medical transcriptionist, pharmacy technician, client educator, nutritionist, and so much more!

Thank a veterinary technician today!

🐈‍⬛We understand—when your cat is holding you hostage, it’s hard to leave the house! We’ll add ‘cat cuddling’ to our list of valid excuses for being a little late.

Just remember to schedule your next appointment before your feline friend claims your lap again. 🐾😸
