Yes, dogs can eat strawberries as long as they are given in moderation. Strawberries have many benefits for dogs, such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. However, eating too many can cause digestive issues in dogs so it is important to monitor just how much you're feeding them. Give us a call at (780) 352-6036.

We all know cats have whiskers on their faces, which help guide them through their daily functions as sensory equipment. They aid in vision, navigation, balance, and portraying emotions. Did you know that they also have whiskers at the back of their front legs? Its true! These are called carpal whiskers, and they provide your kitty with information about objects within their grasp and play a key role when hunting. It serves as your cat’s GPS system! Contact us for more information about how to care for your cat. Call us at (780) 352-6036.

Your dog’s size and energy output determine how much you should feed them. A pup with normal activity levels should receive “maintenance energy” whereas a lap dog requires just about 10% of that. An active pupper who exercises outdoors regularly would likely need an additional 20-40% than your average dog. Adjusting portion sizes is normal as you learn your dog’s ideal maintenance amount. Keep in mind that the weather can play a role in how much your dog should eat. Be sure to consult with us to develop a feeding schedule that is best for your furry family members! Contact us at (780) 352-6036 for more personalized care.

We all want our homes to smell nice and clean; however, as pet owners, we have to be extra careful that whatever we are using isn’t harmful to our fur babies. Incense is dangerous to cats as their sense of smell is 14 times stronger than that of humans and the smell can be too intense for them to handle. It also produces smoke, which can be bad for their respiratory system and increase the risk of your cat developing asthma. Opt for cat-friendly methods of keeping your house smelling fresh and clean by dusting frequently, using baking soda to absorb odors, having fragrant plants such as rosemary or sage, or simmering a pot of water with cinnamon sticks, apples, or vanilla. Stay current with your cats' healthcare needs and schedule their appointment by calling (780) 352-6036.
