Older cats tend to defecate and urinate in other places, different from the litter box. This behavior may point to a medical condition such as lower urinary tract infection.

Dogs love the beach, but playing games of fetch, chasing waves, and swimming can all lead to a thirsty dog who consumes salt water. In most cases, a few mouthfuls of salt water may only cause diarrhea. Consuming large amounts of salt water, however, can be fatal.

As we near the end of Vet Tech Week, we want to say a special Thank You to our Vet Techs here at American Veterinary Hospital for everything that they do Without our Vet Techs, we don't know what we would do! All of the effort they put in to ensuring that all of our fur baby patients are well taken care of is something that we can't even put into words! Thank you Vet Techs all around, and especially here at American Veterinary Hospital- you guys all rock!

Senior cats, especially neutered felines are prone to obesity. Neutering alone does not cause obesity but is a contributor factor. Older cats and neutered cats eat more and are less active and this results in weight gain.

Choosing the right brush can help in your grooming process, especially if your dog sheds frequently. Contact us to learn what we recommend!

Don't forget to hug your pet today! Pets can never get too much love!

Arthritis is more frequent in elderly cats, and is the inflammation of joints. The cat will be in a lot of pain, will have difficulty jumping and even walking due to stiff joints. The cat may also present irritability and even aggressiveness.
