Ear position, tail height, posture, facial expression, and eye contact all provide important clues about how a dog is feeling. Subtle signs like tucked ears, stiff posture, or avoiding eye contact can signal stress, fear, or discomfort—sometimes even pain. Learning to recognize these signals helps prevent misunderstandings and allows health concerns to be addressed early.

Even a small amount of extra weight can make it harder for a cat’s body to regulate blood sugar and can put added stress on the hips, knees, and spine. Over time, overweight cats may become less active, have trouble jumping, groom less, or seem stiff, creating a cycle where they move less and gain more. The good news? Portion control, measured meals, and daily play sessions (like wand toys, lasers, or food puzzles) can make a big difference in your cat’s health and comfort.

Since dogs don’t chew the same way humans do, food and bacteria can easily build up along the gumline. Over time, this can lead to plaque, tartar, gum infection, and tooth loss.

Male cats are at higher risk for urinary blockages, which can prevent them from urinating at all. Warning signs include straining in the litter box, frequent trips with little or no urine, crying out, licking the ge***al area, or having accidents outside the box. A blocked urinary tract is a medical emergency that requires immediate care.
🚨 If you notice any of these signs, call (336) 333-5336 right away.
