We wish there were a one-size-fits-all scoop, but every pet is a little different.
Here’s the short version:
🐶 Dogs: Amounts depend on size, age, activity level, and metabolism. A couch potato pug eats a lot less than a hiking lab!
🐱 Cats: They’re smaller, but those extra nibbles add up fast. Indoor cats especially need portion control to avoid sneaky weight gain.
💡 Tip: Always check your pet food’s feeding guide, then adjust with your vet’s help based on your pet’s body condition and activity level. You should be able to feel ribs but not see them.

Next time your furry friend gives you those “I’m starving!” eyes… remember, they’re professional actors. 🎭 Keep the portions right and the treats measured.

Chewing at paws, red skin, or constant ear scratching? Your pet might be telling you they have allergies! And just like people, they can be triggered by things like all that pollen in the North Carolina air, food, or even fleas. Common signs:
🐶 Dogs: Itchy skin, ear infections, paw licking/chewing, or chewing at their coat.
🐱 Cats: Excessive grooming, hair loss, or sneezing and watery eyes.
🩺 We can help pinpoint what’s causing the reaction and build a treatment plan to keep your pet comfortable.

Vaccines protect pets from serious, sometimes life-threatening diseases.
🐶 Dogs: Core vaccines protect against rabies, distemper, parvo, and adenovirus. Depending on your dog’s lifestyle, we may also recommend bordetella (kennel cough), canine influenza, leptospirosis, or lyme.
🐱 Cats: Core vaccines protect against rabies, feline distemper (panleukopenia), herpesvirus, and calicivirus. Indoor-outdoor cats may also need FeLV (feline leukemia).
🗓️ When: Puppies and kittens start vaccines around 6 to 8 weeks of age, with boosters every 3-4 weeks until they’re fully protected. Adult pets need regular boosters based on their lifestyle and risk.

Our team can tailor a vaccine schedule that fits your pet’s age, health, and daily life, because no two pets are exactly alike!

Finding that your cat has urinated outside the litter box can be frustrating, but it’s your cat’s way of telling you something is not quite right. 🩺

Here are the most common causes:
🚽 Medical issues like feline interstitial cystitis, bladder stones, or kidney problems.
😿 Stress or anxiety from changes at home. (New pets, new people, or even moving furniture)
🧼 Litter box concerns such as dirty litter, scented products, or a box that’s too small or hard to reach.

👉 The first step? Schedule a visit to rule out medical causes. Once your cat gets a clean bill of health, we can help you identify environmental or behavioral triggers. With a little detective work (and lots of love), most cats are back to their tidy habits in no time.

✨ Take it slow. Create separate safe spaces for each pet, so no one feels crowded or overwhelmed.
👃 Let them get used to each other’s scent before they meet face-to-face, swapping blankets or toys can help!
🐶🐱 Begin with brief, supervised meetings and maintain a positive tone in early interactions.
🎾 Reward calm behavior with praise, treats, or playtime to reinforce good vibes.

Remember, patience is key! Some pets bond right away; others need a little time, and that’s okay. If you’re unsure how to make the transition smooth, we can help with personalized guidance based on your pets’ personalities.

Here's a quick breakdown:

Grapes & Raisins
Xylitol (found in sugar-free gum & peanut butter, always double check the ingredient list!)
Onions & Garlic
Alcohol
Raw dough (yeast expands in the stomach)
Caffeine
Bones from cooked meat (they can splinter)

🚨 If your pet ingests something questionable: Stay calm. Contact your veterinarian or the Pet Poison Helpline immediately at 800-213-6680. Don’t try to induce vomiting without veterinary advice. A quick call can save a life. When in doubt, reach out! 🐾

February is Veterinary Dental Health Month, and dental disease is one of the most overlooked health issues in cats and dogs! Watch for these red flags:
✔️ Bad breath (not just ‘dog breath’)
✔️ Drooling or dropping food
✔️ Red, swollen gums
✔️ Brown buildup on teeth
✔️ Pawing at the mouth or reluctance to eat

Left untreated, dental disease can lead to pain, infection, and even issues with the heart, liver, or kidneys. 🩺

The short answer is yes; pets can get their own brand of respiratory infections.
🐶 Dogs can catch illnesses like canine influenza, kennel cough, or other upper respiratory infections that cause coughing, sneezing, a runny nose, and fatigue.
🐱 Cats can get viruses like feline herpesvirus or calicivirus, which can also lead to cold-like symptoms.
🐾If your pet has a cough, sneeze, nasal discharge, or just seems under the weather, don’t assume it’s “just a cold.” Call us if you notice any changes in your pet’s breathing, energy, or appetite.
🩺 Good news: Many of these illnesses are preventable with the right vaccines and proactive care.
