Happy to the masters of mischief, nap champions, and treat connoisseurs. 😼
They ignore us, sass us, and somehow still have us wrapped around their little paws, and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Give your cat an extra treat today (and share a pic in the comments — they won’t care, but we will).

Growing older doesn't always look old. 🐾
As dogs age, changes can happen quietly. Even when they're still playing, eating, and enjoying life, important health changes may already be starting beneath the surface.
That's why regular Early Detection Exams are so important. These visits help identify subtle changes sooner, giving you and your veterinary team more opportunities to support your dog's health, comfort, and quality of life.
Signs of aging aren't always obvious—but they matter:
✔ Changes in appetite or thirst
✔ Changes in weight or body condition
✔ Sleeping more or less than usual
✔ Subtle changes in behaviour or energy
✔ Changes in mobility, vision, hearing, or bathroom habits
Early detection can help us better understand your dog's health today—and support them through many healthy years ahead.
📅 If your dog is over 6 years old, ask us about an Early Detection Exam https://www.porthopevet.com/ !
