Wellness visits are crucial to keeping your pet healthy! At least once a year you should schedule an appointment with your veterinarian to stay on top of any health problems that could arise. Call us today!

You can help your dog lose weight! Pets do not understand how much you feed them, so overfeeding and constant “table scraps” can negatively impact your dog’s health.
Feeding your dog the correct amount of food and frequently exercise are excellent ways to manage your pet’s weight. Not sure if your dog is experiencing weight problems? Call us today!

Fleas cause irritation, itching, and sometimes even hair loss. Inspecting your pet for fleas regularly can help catch the issue early and begin treatment. Call us today to learn more about our treatment options for fleas!

Happy cats purr when they are feeling content. Often, this happens while they are getting a back scratch, but sometimes, a happy cat will purr just because. If this describes your cat, then rest assured, they are one happy, healthy kitty!

All pets, including both dogs and cats, require regular veterinary care. However, veterinary care goes far beyond routine vaccinations, even though those are important. A routine examination by your veterinarian can uncover health issues of which you are unaware. Schedule your pet's next visit!

Cats are masters of disguise when it comes to hiding illnesses or pain. Signs that your cat is not feeling well can be subtle. These symptoms can be very difficult if not impossible for the average cat owner to be able to detect! Let us take a look at your fur baby to ensure that your cat is as healthy as can be!

Mouth infections can lead to serious problems in the gums and other parts of the body, including the heart, so it’s important to give your dog’s teeth and mouth special attention!

Regular booster shots provide the protection your pet will need. We can create a schedule for your pet to ensure optimal immunity!

Pets fed a high quality diet have a shiny hair coat, healthy skin, and bright eyes. A good diet can help strengthen your pet’s immune system, help maintain his or her intestinal health, help increase his or her mental acuity, help keep joints and muscles healthy, and much more!

As we enter the New Year, what are some goals that you have for 2021?

[01/06/21]   COVID-19 UPDATE

Happy 2021!

We hope that all of you had a wonderful holiday season!

As a reminder, please remember that in order for your pet to be seen or medications to be picked up, you must wear a facial covering AT ALL TIMES during the exchange process, whether this occurs inside or outside of the building. If you are unable to wear a facial covering for that length of time, please make sure you have someone with you that is able to do so. Unfortunately our staff continues to be yelled at, cursed at, and treated downright poorly by clients who are unwilling to comply with our rules. Please remember that with such a small staff who must work in very close contact with each other, we are all at an increased risk of contracting Covid-19, and could be forced to close if enough employees are unable to work. Please help us help you!

We are anticipating that with this new year comes a hope for better things to come and a light at the end of the tunnel! To the many of you who have remained kind and understanding of our current circumstances, we are forever grateful.

In addition to your love and companionship, there are measures you should take as a responsible pet owner to keep your pet healthy. A regular wellness exam is one of them! Schedule your furry friend's next visit with us today!

About 1/3 of a dog’s brain mass is devoted to smell, compared with just 5% of a human’s brain!

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!

Regular health assessments that include a thorough physical exam, a discussion of behavior, diet/nutrition and a risk assessment to determine needed vaccinations and prevention medications is extremely crucial to ensure that your pet is as healthy and happy as can be.

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

Did you know that when cats scratch things, they deposit a scent that other cats can detect?

The first thing to note in a sick pet is their energy level. If you notice unusual behavior and a decreased energy level in your fur baby, it may be best to schedule an appointment with us so that we can ensure that your pet is comfortable and happy!

Do you ever wonder why dogs love sticking their head out of the car window? A dog's head is packed with sensors and they stick their head out for great pressures of air creating a sensory overload!

Tip of the day: Before you set out on a big hike, rule out any health or joint problems. Age, size, breed, and other things can limit your dog’s agility!
