Regardless of whether it’s because you live in close quarters or if you just feel more comfortable owning a smaller dog, there are several breeds to choose from that’ll be the right fit for your family! Like all breeds, the smallest dogs in the world require special care, one of which is early socialization. Smaller dogs tend to be easily intimidated, which can cause them to lash out and defend themselves in unhealthy ways so socialization with other dogs is key. Are you searching for more information about how to properly care for your small dogs? We'd love to help with that! Call us at (920) 775-4200 for all your care questions.🐶💕

Any behavior or sleep position can stem from a variety of causes. Some may be more subtle reasons than others, but there are none to worry about regarding your pet’s health! In general, when a dog sleeps on its back, it is a good thing. It usually means they are cooling off, feel safe, are showing submission, or are seeking attention. Some will even do it purely out of comfort! If you’re worried about your dog’s sleeping positions, the main thing to keep an eye out for is any sudden changes that coincide with sudden changes in behavior. If you’re unsure, give us a call at (920) 775-4200 where we can better approach the concern.

Don't miss your pet's vaccination appointment! Vaccines work by introducing a weakened form of a virus into the body which stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. These antibodies then protect your pet from the virus, and can even prevent it from becoming ill if it comes into contact with the virus in the future. Is it time to get your pet vaccinated?

There’s not a cut-and-dry answer as to whether dental chews work. They may help keep your pooch’s teeth clean and the dry kibble can be satisfying for your dog to crunch in her mouth - and taste yummy. Though chews that are properly designed can potentially reduce tartar and plaque buildup, they’re not a substitute for regular tooth brushing and professional dental cleanings - just an additional tool.

Have you ever noticed that your pup twitches while they’re sleeping? That’s because dogs dream as well with comparable sleep patterns to humans. Not just that but they also have a “sixth sense.” Your pooch can sense things before they happen and show that by acting out with hiding, weird behavior, and whining. Dogs are truly one of a kind. Stay pawsome! Give us a call at (920) 775-4200 to schedule a visit.

Typically, puppies require about 6 to 10 hours of sleep daily. Every puppy is different, with some needing up to 20 hours a day to maintain their high levels of energy. However, by 16 weeks, most breeds will be able to sleep throughout the night. Daytime napping is perfectly healthy for your growing baby dog and is nothing to be concerned about. Sleep is essential for healthy development, and creating a schedule will help your pupper get the right balance of sleep and play time. New dog? 🐶 We can't wait to meet your furry family member!

We all want our homes to smell nice and clean; however, as pet owners, we have to be extra careful that whatever we are using isn’t harmful to our fur babies. Incense is dangerous to cats as their sense of smell is 14 times stronger than that of humans and the smell can be too intense for them to handle. It also produces smoke, which can be bad for their respiratory system and increase the risk of your cat developing asthma. Opt for cat-friendly methods of keeping your house smelling fresh and clean by dusting frequently, using baking soda to absorb odors, having fragrant plants such as rosemary or sage, or simmering a pot of water with cinnamon sticks, apples, or vanilla. Stay current with your cats' healthcare needs and schedule their appointment by calling (920) 775-4200.

If you recently added a female puppy to your family, it's important to understand their heat cycles. Proestrus is the start of the heat period where your dog’s body is preparing to mate and averages about nine days. The estrus phase is the mating phase and usually lasts around 9 days, but can be as short as 3 or as long as 21 days. The diestrus phase occurs directly after the “in heat” stage and lasts for about 2 months. Anestrus is the uterine repair phase, in which no sexual or hormonal behavior is present, and can last for anywhere from 90 to 150 days before the next proestrus stage begins.
