-Never leave your pet unsupervised around bodies of water
-Keep your pet hydrated​
-Limit time in the sun and heat ​
-Keep your pet away from fireworks​

Did you know that less than 10% of the pets that are unchipped will return home each year?

A microchip is a secure, reliable, permanent identification for your pet and the process is simple and affordable. Microchipping your pet can help ensure that if your pet goes missing, they can be identified and find their way back to you.

If your pet is chipped, make sure their information is up to date. To help keep pets close to their loved ones, share this post and remind your friends to !

🤧 Uh oh, you might not be the only one in your house dealing with allergies!

Cats may be susceptible to seasonal and environmental allergies. Thankfully, there are several treatment options available.

Common symptoms our patients exhibit include excessive itching, red/inflamed skin, as well as recurring ear infections.

If you think your pet may be dealing with allergies, give us a call!

Cat moms, human moms, and more – thank you for all that you do. Where would we be without you?!

Is your cat scooting or licking their rear? It could be their a**l glands.

A**l glands are located on the rear of cats. The glands produce an oily, fishy-smelling fluid that helps with scent marking. Sometimes these glands can get impacted or infected.

Soft, consistent stool, as well as allergies, are common causes of irritation. If your pet is scooting, licking excessively, or showing signs of discomfort around their rear end, contact us! We will help to identify the cause and determine best course of treatment.

Today marks a very special day fur our very special patients. 💙​

With tomorrow being Hairball Awareness Day, we wanted to remind our cat parents about the importance of preventing hairballs.

Accumulated from excessive grooming, hairballs can build in your cat’s digestive system and either get coughed up or in some cases, need surgical removal. If your cat is excessively vomiting, lethargic, loses their appetite, or has diarrhea or constipation, these may be signs of a blockage and you should contact our team immediately.
