Our team wants to wish you a happy Fourth of July! Please keep in mind certain festivities today can be stressful for your pet.

July is National Pet Hydration Awareness Month! Be sure you know and understand the symptoms of dehydration in your pet to prevent any tragic accidents!

Studies have shown that petting a dog can benefit your physical and mental health. Fifteen minutes of puppy love can help lower your blood pressure and combat loneliness!

Fleas, ticks and other parasites can pose a serious health risk to your pet. Routine examinations and preventative medications can help keep your pet healthy.

Without proper mental and physical stimulation, your pet may become bored, leading to destructive behavior. Playing with your pet and providing plenty of activity during the day can help keep your pet from getting into trouble.

If you have more than one pet, this may create competition at meal time! Your pet may feel the urge to eat faster, leading to a potential choking hazard, if they eat alongside their other furry family members. Separating the pets during feeding time can help slow down your pet’s eating habits, leading to a safer mealtime.

Here are some fur baby cuddles to fill your day!

As we near the end of 2020, we thank you for all of your support this year and can't wait to see what the new year has in store!

Fact of the day! Cats can smell with their mouths. Cats have a small scent gland in the roof of the mouth called the vomeronasal organ!

Happy Holidays! Warmest thoughts and best wishes to you and your loved ones!

Just like people, cats and dogs can have food allergies, too. And like humans, those allergic responses can range from itchy and irritating to severe and dangerous! It's important to consult with a professional to ensure that your pet is on a diet that works best for their health!
