Your cat is a true pro when it comes to acting like everything is fine. 😥 It’s not their fault,it’s a survival trait!

In the wild, showing weakness means danger. In your home, it means they might be suffering silently with an illness like kidney disease or hyperthyroidism, sometimes for months, before you notice anything is wrong.

That’s why their annual wellness blood work is the most important appointment of the year! It’s our only way to look past the beautiful facade and check on the health of their internal organs.

Save this post to remind yourself of those subtle signs, and share it with a fellow cat owner!

The love of a dog is a pure thing. He gives his whole heart without reservation. He is ready to love you, even if you are grumpy, busy, or stressed. His affection is a constant, warm presence in a world of change. When you walk through the door, his joy at your return is genuine, boundless, and it reminds you, every single time, that you are the most important person in his life.

Cryptorchidism, or undescended testicles, is a condition we see in male dogs more often than you might think. It’s not just a minor issue, it’s a significant health concern that every dog owner should be aware of.

Normally, a male puppy’s testicles descend into the sc***um by about two months of age. With cryptorchidism, one or both testicles remain in the abdomen or groin. The main problem is that the higher body temperature in these areas can lead to two major risks: infertility and a dramatically increased chance of developing testicular cancer. The risk for cancer is up to 14 times greater in an undescended testicle compared to a normal one.

This is a key reason why we always check for this condition during puppy exams! The recommended treatment is a surgical procedure to remove the retained testicle(s). This is a more complex version of a standard neuter, but it’s absolutely vital for preventing future complications.

If you have an unneutered male dog, check with your vet to make sure he’s not cryptorchid. Early diagnosis and treatment are the best way to ensure a long, healthy life for your best friend.

While a quick jump out of the car boot might seem harmless, it’s a practice not recommended by veterinarians due to the significant risk of injury to your dog’s joints and bones. Even from a stationary vehicle, the impact from the fall can cause acute issues like sprains and fractures, or contribute to long-term conditions such as osteoarthritis and hip dysplasia, especially in larger or older dogs. The best way to prevent these injuries is to use a dog ramp, which allows them to walk in and out of the car safely, or to lift them carefully if they are small enough. By being mindful of how your dog exits the car, you can help them enjoy many more years of happy, healthy car rides without unnecessary pain.

We all love our furry friends, but sometimes their kisses come with a side of... well, not-so-fresh breath! 😷

It’s a common misconception that bad breath is just a normal part of pet ownership. But at Greencoat Vets, we want you to know: it’s actually a sign your pet needs a dental check-up!

That stinky breath is often caused by bacteria, plaque, and tartar, which can lead to painful dental disease. The good news? We can help! Regular dental care not only freshens their breath but also protects their overall health.

Give them the gift of a healthy mouth (and you, the gift of sweeter kisses!). ❤️

Pet obesity is a growing concern, and it can lead to serious health issues, just like in humans.

👉 Arthritis: Extra weight strains joints, causing pain and limiting mobility.
👉 Diabetes: Can lead to insulin resistance, requiring lifelong management.
👉 Hypertension: Puts extra pressure on the heart and vital organs.

The good news? Weight management can significantly improve their quality of life! ❤️

Unlocking the Secret World of Cat Vision Ever wonder what the world looks like through your cat’s eyes? 🐈 It’s a common misconception that cats are completely colorblind. While they don’t see the rich spectrum of colors that we do, their vision is uniquely adapted for a different purpose—making them extraordinary hunters.

Their eyes are masters of low-light vision, which is why your cat can navigate a dark room with ease while you’re fumbling for a light switch. This incredible ability is due to a higher concentration of rods, the light-sensitive cells in the retina. These cells allow them to detect movement and shapes with remarkable efficiency, making them perfect nocturnal hunters.

But what about color? A cat’s world is primarily made up of blues, greens, and grays. They have fewer cones, the cells responsible for color detection, than humans. So while they might not appreciate the vibrant colors of a sunset, they are perfectly designed to thrive in their environment.

We find feline vision absolutely fascinating! It’s just one more reminder of how perfectly adapted our pets are to their unique lifestyles.
