🐈 KITTEN SEASON 🐈‍⬛

Just about any ages & color available - male & females.

Any Mastiff lovers wanting to open their hearts and home for this sweet timid girl?

🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾

Meet Chambers. She would do best in a home with no stairs due to an old leg injury. Otherwise, she’d do great in a home full of love and a nice big dog bed to sleep in all day!

Reminder 🎆

Don’t forget to pickup medication before Thursday for your thunder babies who do not enjoy fireworks!

Meet Macko, the Bengal 🐾

The Bengal breed is a cross with the Asian Leopard Cat. It is an active, intelligent cat that needs plenty to do. Their life span averages 12-16 years and can be great family animals.

Fun fact: F1 generations ( meaning first cross between the wild cat and the domestic cat) require a Dangerous Wild Animal License in the UK!

What’s better than a beach day? Beach day with your pal!

With HOT temperatures, be sure your furry friend doesn’t overheat. Heat exhaustion can happen quickly and should be treated ASAP.

Signs of Heat Exhaustion:
🔥 heavy panting
🔥 dry, sticky gums
🔥 lethargy
🔥 collapsing, staggering
🔥 dizziness, confusion

❄️ Let’s stay cool and take precautions ❄️
Provide shade from direct sunlight and plenty of water. Take walks in early morning or later in the evening to avoid peak temperatures during the day. Be cautious with our older pups who may exhaust easily.

🚨 EMERGENCY 🚨

Did you know there is a rattlesnake vaccine available for dogs?
Warmer weather calls for increased snake activity. A bite is a serious incident that can cause severe swelling, difficulty breathing and/or allergic response. Even if a dry bite, there is a risk of infection.

This vaccine works to stimulate immunity towards the venom, aiding in the body defenses when bitten. This can reduce the impact of the venom and aide in the treatment plan.

Paw pads are sensitive to hot surfaces just like our feet 👣

While eager to enjoy the beautiful weather outside & reach your steps for the day, be cautious walking your babes on asphalt. Severe burns can result in sores and blisters that are extremely painful!

👍🏽 Rule of Thumb - if you can’t, they can’t!

A little fun in the clinic during down time. 💉

Meet Buddy the Bunny 🐰

Did you know rabbits have “elodont” teeth so they continuously grow their entire life. That is why our furry friends constantly chew to file them down.

For our friend that can’t keep up, we provide teeth trimming services. Buddy also got a bath, nail trim and wellness exam today.

Preparing for the holiday weekend, don't forget about your fur-babies!

Sometimes our pets and fireworks just don't mix. Here are a few tips to help decrease stress and anxiety. If your pet needs medication for traveling or fireworks, call your vet to pickup. Remember clinics may have modified business hours for the holiday.
