September is National Cat Month!

Take this month to appreciate your cat in the same way they appreciate you, though they may not always show it! Cats have been loyal human companions for over 10,000 years in their own very special ways. Believe it or not, cats are indeed social animals and desire human interaction! They have been by our side for generations and given us countless amounts of laughs, love, and companionship. Give your kitty a little extra special attention this month!

Take this time to showcase your feline friend with us and everyone else!

We would like to give a special thank you to all our clients who joined in sharing the memories of their lost fur-ever family members with us. It was a very special chance for us to all reminisce on some amazing animals while sharing the joy they spread. Not only do we all appreciate it and feel the love, but we know they do too!

Thank you all for being such wonderful pet owners and clients!

Oliver has returned home!

Oliver, his family, and we appreciate you! Thank you to everyone who helped in this effort.

Our dear friend Oliver is missing!

He is a small Cavalier King Charles, it is unknown whether he is wearing a collar or not. He was last seen around Long Lake Rd. and a few individuals in the area have reached out reporting that he has been seen eating off porches.

He is a super nervous and sweet boy, so it is recommended that you do not try to approach or catch him, but rather to snap a picture and contact the number listed below. Please help us get Oliver back home safely!

Looking to have some fun in the sun with your pup for a great cause?

In an effort to support the research of hereditary heart arrhythmias in Labrador Retrievers, a group of dedicated Labrador adorers are holding a fundraiser where you and your dog can partake in “try-it” fun sessions in disciplines including hunting, shed hunting, barn hunting, and dock jumping to discover which sports your furry pal may enjoy. This event takes place on Saturday, July 26th in Hemlock, MI. If you cannot attend the event, but would still like to help make a difference for this cause, QR codes and links have been provided for Venmo and PayPal donations. Anything is greatly appreciated and helps significantly!

Heart arrhythmias in Labrador Retrievers have not been commonly documented until recently, but as can be seen with Squirrel’s story this condition can cause fainting, lethargy, anesthetic issues, or even premature death. Veterinary cardiologists at multiple universities have been compiling and interpreting the results of Holter monitors (24 hour or 7-day ECG) as well as DNA samples from different affected, unaffected, and “control” canine groups. The overall goal of this research is to gain the ability to develop a DNA test which can be run on breeding labradors to identify and prevent the transmission of the responsible gene for this condition.

🐾LOST DOG - HAVE YOU SEEN ME?
Please be on the look out for this sweet girl!

06/12/2025

Is somebody looking for me?

This gorgeous girl was found on Big Beaver in the Troy/Sterling Heights area. The people who found her have tried desperately to locate her owners, but have had no luck thus far. She is currently located at the Oakland County Animal Shelter and will be put into the system on June 13th if no one has claimed her.

The individuals who found her are seeking somebody who may be interested in fostering her for the time being so that she does not end up residing at the shelter. She is incredibly sweet and certainly came from a home. If anyone has any information regarding this beautiful girl please reach out as soon as possible. Help us to help this darling girl!

*Update as of 07/01/25: I have found a home!
