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.

January is National Train Your Dog Month, the perfect time to build better habits together!
✅ Keep training sessions short, fun, and consistent.
✅ Reward right away, dogs live in the moment!
✅ Be patient, learning takes time (and lots of repetition).
✅ Focus on one new behavior at a time.
✅ Make it a part of your daily routine!
Well-trained dogs are more confident, less stressed, and have stronger bonds with their humans. Training isn’t just for puppies! It is for every stage of life. We're happy to help guide you and your pup on the path to good manners!

Sleep varies based on your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and health.
🐶 Puppies/kittens? They can snooze for up to 20 hours a day!
🐱 Adult cats? Champion nappers! Sleeping 12 to 16 hours isn’t unusual.
🐾 Senior pets may sleep more, too. But excessive fatigue could also signal an underlying issue like osteoarthritis, thyroid changes, or other health concerns.

If your pet's sleep suddenly increases, it is harder to wake them from a deep sleep, or they are less interested in food and interacting with the family, it is worth checking in with us. 🐾💤🩺

This New Year, your pet is probably the best partner you could have in health.

👩‍⚕️ Our team will help set healthy weight targets and wellness goals.
🥗 You’ll provide balanced nutrition and portion control.
🐕‍🦺 Your pet brings the tail wags and daily walks, and remember, playing burns even more calories for everyone!

Maintaining a healthy weight can reduce the risk of arthritis, diabetes, and other chronic health issues, adding more happy, active years to both of your lives!
