Is it a good idea to let cats hunt for their own food? Prospect Ridge Veterinary encourages mental stimulation for cats. Allowing cats to hunt not only engages their instincts but also enriches their daily routine, providing stimulation and physical exercise. You can give it a try with indoor cats to keep their mental sharpness in check or if you want to break their feeding routine. Call our vet if you need help with more cat behaviors. prospectridgevet.com
Maintaining a harmonious environment with both dogs and cats can be challenging, but it's not impossible! Create separate spaces for each pet to retreat to when needed, offer plenty of toys and enrichment activities to keep them occupied, and gradually introduce them to each other under supervision. Try these strategies today for a happier pet household!
Boarding at our hospital? Heres what you can expect!
Our technicians provide a tech exam during intake. During this time they will check for fleas and ticks and check their eyes, ears, and teeth. This way your pet can be treated (if needed) during their stay and you will know before you leave your pet.
Contact us to schedule a boarding stay!

An ultrasound guided cystocentesis on a cat:
We know a “cysto” can sound scary when talked about in the exam room. We want to share that it’s not as scary as it sounds and provides us with more reliable urine results! #vetmed #cysto #urine #ultrasound #vet #vettech #veterinary #cat #orangecat #urinarycrystals
For National Pet Week, todays focus is: Nutrition and Exercise
Over 50% of pets in the United States are overweight or obese. Yikes! Exercise is one of the best ways for our pets to maintain a healthy weight. Not only do our pets thrive on exercise, but they also need that human-animal bond and regular exercise with your pet can strengthen that. There are many ways to do that such as, walking, running, or just playing fetch.
Nutrition is also very important for both weight control and lifelong health. We highly recommend kibbles that are grain-inclusive for all pets such as Purina Por Plan, Hills Science Diet, Royal Canin, Eukabuna, etc. These companies work with veterinarians to formulate pet food that meet all of the nutritional requirements for various life stages.
Give us a call today if you want to make an appointment to discuss your pets diet with one of our doctors!
