September is Leukemia & Lymphoma Awareness Month, and we want to remind our pet parents the importance of wellness visits, no matter the pet’s age.

Attending a wellness visit 1-2 times a year, along with routine bloodwork, helps our team to identify potential problems early and provide timely intervention.

Kittens are irresistibly cute with their tiny eyes, wispy fur, and playful antics. However, their first year requires patience, dedication, and understanding of feline development. Like human babies, kittens go through specific stages needing different care levels. Preparing for these milestones will help you raise a strong, healthy, and happy cat.
