Cats have excellent vision at night. In the wild, cats typically hunt at night. If your cat is more rambunctious at night, this may be why! Exercise and play time before bed can help tire out your cat, causing them to sleep through the night!

Some dog breeds are excellent swimmers! Chesapeake Bay Retrievers have an almost waterproof coat that makes them well equipped for water. Other dogs, like English Bulldogs, do not float and should not be left unattended by bodies of water! Call us to schedule an appointment today!

Pets that suffer from obesity are more likely to have a condition called insulin resistance. Diabetes, cancer, and even a shorter life expectancy can result from insulin resistance. Feeding your pet quality food in recommended portions can help keep their weight in line. Call today to learn about pet food brands we recommend!

Furry fact of the week! The way your cat walks is the same way a camel walks! Your cat walks with the right front and back foot going at the same time, then the left. Camels, giraffes and cats are the only animals to walk this way!

Dental disease is more common in pets than you think. By the age of three, 70% of cats and 80% of dogs already have some form of dental disease. Schedule your dental visit today!

Keep your pet free of parasites (fleas, ticks, heartworm, etc.). Give us a call so that we can figure out which plan is best for your fur baby!

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!

Brushing or combing your cat daily will cut down on the hairballs that can develop in the digestive tract!
