Say hello to Shep.
❤️💚This handsome fella is White Oak’s dog of the month. ❤️💚

“Shep was born on October 24, 2018, in North Carolina, and became part of our family on December 18, 2018. From that day on, he has been a loyal and loving companion. He’s a very smart boy who loves car rides, enjoys “walking” me, and is very vocal — sometimes it even sounds like he’s saying “mama.”
He can even turn the faucet on in the bathtub, which just shows how clever he is.
He’s a true mama’s boy, but he loves his dad just as much. Shep is the sweetest boy with a wonderful temperament, and we are so grateful he became part of our family.”
His family loves him very much!

November cat of the month is Felice - the most handsome boy with a heart nose 🐾💙

“Felice came from and resides in the hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains with his eclectic family. Felice struts his stuff and loves his high heels! He made his debut in the Broadway remake of Kinky Boots where he won over audiences with his stunning performances and fantabulous razzle dazzle. When he is not spinning, flying through the air and singing throughout the night, Felice loves to cuddle up to his mama because after all, he is humble and knows that home is where the heart is...not to mention-where the food is.”

🐾 December is Cat Lovers Month, a purrfect time to highlight the unique needs of our feline companions. From nutrition to behavior, cats have specific requirements for optimal health. Here are some things to watch for:
Dental Disease — Cats frequently suffer from gum disease, tooth decay, and oral infections. Symptoms include bad breath, drooling, difficulty eating, and pawing at the mouth.
Obesity — Overweight cats are at risk for diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, and a shorter lifespan. Weight gain often results from overeating and lack of exercise.
Kidney Disease — Chronic kidney disease is common in older cats, leading to increased thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, and poor coat condition.
