Did you know 40% of dogs and cats experience some level of pain due to Osteoarthritis (OA)?

OA is arthritis that develops when protective tissue in the joints deteriorates, leading to friction between the bones. Pain from OA can decrease your pet’s willingness to play or exercise.

Take the Pain Checklist quiz to see if they could be showing signs of OA: https://bit.ly/3Z5m7u6

If you suspect your pet may have signs of OA, please contact us so we can help them feel their very best!

Follow us on Instagram to get to meet your vet care team and meet some of the amazing pets we see each day!

August is Itchy Pet Awareness Month, and we know that treating skin allergies is not one-size-fits-all. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, such as allergies, parasites, bacterial or fungal infections.

Today is Spoil Your Dog Day and we're here for it! 👏🏽 Show your dog some extra love, treats, and maybe a new toy because they deserve it. If your pup is spoiled, like this post and show off a photo of them in the comments below!
