Detecting a health problem early is just as important for your pet as it is for you, that’s why veterinarians recommend regular wellness exams. Wellness exams are the time for vaccinations, heartworm prevention, and routine deworming, which are all essential pet care. You can even talk to your vet about a wellness program based on your dogs’ breed, lifestyle, age and overall health.

Time to meet another one of our finalists for the Cutest Pets on Capitol Hill contest!

🐢✨ Meet Rutherford, the legend of a thousand sunsets himself! At 22 years old, this wise, tiny-armored tank has mastered the art of slow-and-steady (aka tactical brilliance). He’s basically a walking/swimming rock with eyes—what’s not to love? 🤩

This armored king is also recovering like a champ from turtle pneumonia (yes, it’s a real thing 👀), proving he’s as tough as his shell. 💪

If Rutherford is your top choice in the exotic category, vote for him here: https://rebrand.ly/CutestPets25

🐾 Meet Scosh! 🐾

This pint-sized queen is one of our Cutest Pets on Capitol Hill finalists—and trust us, she’s got personality to spare.

✨ Fun fact: Scosh never lets her owner have her own water cup! She refuses to drink out of her bowl, cups only thank you very much 👑
👑

💜 Her story: “I was at an apple orchard and she came up to me. The manager came out and said she needs a home, she was found having babies on the side of the street (she was less than a year old) and because of that it stunted her growth so she is a forever kitty!”

Think Scosh deserves the crown? Cast your vote (and meet the other finalists!) here ➡️ https://rebrand.ly/CutestPets25
