🐾 Science Proves Your Dog Loves You — Literally 🧠💖

Science has confirmed what dog lovers have always believed. In a groundbreaking fMRI study led by Emory University neuroscientist Gregory Berns — reported in National Geographic and Nature Scientific Reports — researchers discovered that when dogs smell their owner, the caudate nucleus (the brain’s center for joy, reward, and affection) lights up far more than when smelling food or even other dogs.

This means your scent isn’t just familiar — it triggers a powerful emotional response, a biological signature of love and bonding. It’s neuroscience showing that, to your dog, you’re not just a caretaker — you’re family. 🐶❤️

Summer is upon us, and the heat will be coming on! We wanted to remind everyone of the dangers of leaving our precious cargo (children and pets) inside vehicles unattended.

If you can, leave them at home when running errands. The vehicle heats up quickly and the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office wants to ensure that ALL family members are safe when the temperature rises.🔥🔥

Losing a pet is a very hard loss. :'(

I miss my dog. When my German Shepherd, Hugo, died, it felt like a part of me had been clawed out. I talked to a pet-loss expert -- here's what she said.

These are bug bites.

As Spring starts, we are getting more and more phone calls about red bites on your dogs stomach. We wanted to give everyone this information, these are a type of fly bite, and dogs generally get them from laying in the grass. They look terrible, but usually do not bother the dogs. They heal quickly on their own, and do not require any treatment. These flies are usually around for a few weeks every spring and then go away. We hope this eases any worry that you may have had about your own dog!
If you have any concerns please feel free to call the clinic for more information!
