Healthy nutrition starts with choosing food that matches your pet’s life stage and health needs.

Portion control matters more than most owners realize, and treats can quietly add up faster than expected.

Fresh water, consistent feeding routines, and avoiding table scraps all play a role in long-term health.

And since every pet is different, our team can help you select the diet that best supports your pet’s lifestyle and medical needs!

When was your pet's last wellness exam? 🩺

Annual exams are essential because pets can’t tell us what’s wrong and may be suffering with medical issues that are not apparent to us.

Wellness Exams Detect:

-Early signs of illness before symptoms appear.
-Dental disease affecting overall health.
-Weight changes impacting joint and organ function.
-Age-related conditions requiring management.

Early detection means more treatment options and better outcomes.

Don't forget hydration in winter! 💧

Indoor heating dehydrates pets just like summer heat. Ensure fresh water is always available. Check outdoor bowls for ice.

Signs of dehydration: dry gums, sunken eyes, lethargy, poor skin elasticity.

Try room-temperature water or a fountain to encourage drinking.
