Does your cat or dog have constantly itchy skin, continually lick their paws or have chronic ears problems?

Atopy might be the culprit! Atopy is a type of allergy.

Atopy occurs when pets react to certain environmental triggers like pollen, molds, and dust mites—often invisible to the naked eye.

Seasonal changes can exacerbate these allergies, leading to discomfort for your furry friends.

If you notice signs of atopy, let’s find a solution together!

Is your pet constantly itchy, licks their paws, has chronic ear problems and has simultaneous gastrointestinal problems?

This could be due to food allergies. Food allergies can affect dogs and cats at any age.

If your furry friend is allergic to a specific ingredient in their food, it’s crucial to switch to a specialized hypoallergenic diet. Without it, their symptoms won’t improve.

Let’s work together to keep your pet healthy and happy!

Food Allergy Alert!

Dogs and cats can be allergic to certain ingredients in their food, starting as early as puppy or kitten-hood.

If you suspect your pet has a food allergy, consult your vet for a solution!

I’m a sleek cat with blue eyes so bright,
My ears, face, paws, and tail are dark while my body is light.
I’m known for my chatty ways and my pointed look,
Guess who I am—take a good look!

Who am I? 🐱💬

Did you know your dog can sniff out your feelings? 🐶👃

True or False: A dog’s sense of smell is so powerful that they can actually detect emotions like fear or excitement in humans!

Give it a try—next time your pup seems to know exactly how you're feeling, remember they might be using their extraordinary nose to tune into your emotions.

Easy one today! 😜

I'm orange, lazy, and naps are my thing,
Lasagna's my favorite, but Mondays sting.
I’ve got stripes, wit, and quite the sass—
Can you guess who I am?
