Hi! I’m Callie! I’m 12 weeks old and had my first toenail trim! I thought it would be scary but I was wrong! It was so easy! (Maybe all the extra cuddles helped!)🥰

Pet owners, here's a reminder: Not all human foods are safe for your furry friends!

Chocolate, xylitol, grapes, meat bones, garlic, onions, and yeast dough can all cause harm to your pets. Keep your furry pals safe and healthy by avoiding feeding them any human food, and stick to pet-safe treats instead!

Want to make sure your pet is getting the right amount of food? It's not always easy to know how much to give them.

The best way to determine their daily food intake is to calculate their caloric needs using a dog or cat calorie calculator.

Divide that amount into two or three meals and limit their treat consumption to no more than 10% of their daily calorie intake. And remember, measuring their food with a cup isn't always accurate.

Did you know that you can brush your pet's teeth every day?

It's an easy way to maintain their oral health and prevent future dental problems. Look for special pet toothpaste that's flavored like beef, chicken, fish, or peanut butter.

And don't forget about dental diet food to prevent plaque and tartar buildup.

Attention all cat owners! Feline calicivirus is a highly contagious viral infection that can cause respiratory disease and mouth lesions in our feline friends. This virus spreads through contact with an infected cat's saliva, nasal discharge, or ocular secretions.

Early symptoms include sneezing, coughing, and fever. If you notice these signs in your cat, don't wait to seek veterinary care. Our team is here to help keep your cat healthy and happy.

Building a strong foundation for your pet's health starts with training, exercise, and play! These activities help your puppy or kitten burn energy, learn commands, and understand acceptable behavior.

Keeping your young pet mentally and physically engaged also strengthens the human-animal bond and helps prevent problem behaviors that may lead to relinquishing them to animal shelters.

Start your pet off on the right foot by incorporating plenty of training, exercise, and play into their daily routine. Need help? Call to talk to your veterinarian.
