Sometimes dogs can be masters at hiding pain. But there are subtle signs every pet parent should know to look out for. Changes in posture, reduced appetite, excessive licking one spot, limping, or avoiding stairs and furniture could mean your dog is uncomfortable. Don’t wait until it’s obvious. Early detection can make a huge difference in treatment and recovery. Have you noticed this behavior shift in your dog? Call us at 441-236-0007.

Cats are skilled at hiding their illnesses, so it's important to recognize signs that require immediate attention. If your cat is having trouble breathing, suddenly becomes very weak or unresponsive, is bleeding, has a seizure, or may have ingested something toxic, these are emergencies that need prompt care. When in doubt, call us at 441-236-0007. Acting quickly can make a significant difference.

Happy National Dog Day! We here at Ettrick love our pooches. Their fierce loyalty and companionship are unmatched and earns them the title of ‘Mans best friend’. Did you know that dogs can learn over 100 words and gestures, and their intelligence is comparable to that of a two-year-old child? They really are our babies. Taking care of your pups brings us so much joy here at Ettrick and seeing their personalities shine always brings a smile to our faces. Whether they are having the zoomies, or getting into mischief, it’s never a dull moment when they’re around. We hope that you find the time to celebrate these beautiful creatures who teach us so much and please don’t forget to give them extra kisses and cuddles from us here at Ettrick.

Indoor cats can easily become bored, leading to over-grooming, aggression, or destructive behaviors. If your feline is knocking things over or constantly pestering you, they might be craving mental and physical stimulation. Enhance their environment with rotating toys, vertical spaces like cat trees, or even teach tricks to keep them engaged. Want more tips for a happier, healthier cat? Contact us at 441-236-0007 🐾

Just as in humans, plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gum infections, tooth loss, and even complications affecting the heart, liver, or kidneys in pets. Most pets over the age of 3 have some form of dental disease — and it often goes unnoticed because they rarely exhibit pain. To ensure your pet's dental health is in optimal condition, please get in touch with us at 441-236-0007.

Cracked paw pads might look just like dry skin, but they can signal something deeper, especially if they split, bleed, or make walking painful. Dehydration, allergies, salt from winter roads, or nutritional imbalances are all potential causes. Hydrating balms can help, but chronic cracks need our attention. Contact us at 441-236-0007 so we can investigate your pup’s paw issues. Don’t forget to use paw balm or booties in extreme weather!
