Summer pool days are the best - just keep those paws out of the water bowl! 🏊‍♂️🐕
Pool chemicals aren't meant for furry tummies and can cause some serious stomach troubles. Keep a fresh water bowl nearby and watch for signs like drooling or tummy upset if your pet takes a sneaky sip.
Better safe than sorry when it comes to chemical exposure! 🐾💙

If your pet ever gets lost, multiple forms of ID can make all the difference. An ID tag lets someone reach you quickly. A microchip helps vets and shelters contact you. And a GPS tracker can even help you find your pet in real time. Each method adds a layer of safety and increases the chances of a happy reunion.

🐱 Outdoor time can transform your indoor cat's life!
The sights, sounds, and scents of nature engage your cat's natural hunting instincts in a healthy way while providing exercise and reducing stress and boredom.
Harness Training Tip: Practice indoors for short periods with treats and praise. Gradually increase wearing time and always be patient.

We are saddened to announce the passing of our lead reception kitty, Nugget, to a hard-fought bout with cancer. Many of you may have met Nugget over the years, as she could be seen laying on keyboards and in front of computers in reception, inhibiting the humans from doing any work. She was often found checking her weight frequently, preventing many patients from approaching the front-of-house scale. Nugget came to us as well out of her kitten-hood, with a very distinct “smoker’s” meow, and a personality that can best be described as “sassy.” She was best known for her deadly fly catching abilities and her love of any open cardboard box. She will be missed by all who had the pleasure of meeting her.
