As we head into fall, let's celebrate all the ways our pets made this month special.

What was your pet's biggest August accomplishment?

Cats are masters at hiding illness, making regular checkups even more important!

Today reminds us that cats need veterinary care just like dogs - they're just better at pretending they don't. Annual exams catch problems early when they're easier to treat. Indoor cats need checkups too!

Summer routines ending can stress pets too! Dogs may miss their extra walks and family time, while cats might be confused by schedule changes.

Help ease the transition by gradually adjusting feeding and exercise times, maintaining consistent bedtime routines, and providing extra attention during busy back-to-school weeks.

How does your pet handle routine changes?

Late summer coats need attention! Regular brushing prevents matting, reduces shedding around the house, and helps you spot skin issues early.

For nervous pets, start slow with short sessions and lots of treats.

Remember that professional grooming isn't just about looks. It's about caring for the largest organ of the body — the skin!

What's your pet's reaction to brushing time?

Happy International Cat Day to our feline friends!

Today we celebrate the cats who somehow manage to look dignified while knocking things off counters, sleeping 16 hours a day, and demanding food at 4 AM.

From purr machines to independent spirits, cats bring their own special brand of love to our lives.

August is perfect timing for those "before school starts" checkups. Kids aren't the only ones who need health assessments before fall routines begin!

Pets benefit from wellness exams to help catch issues before busy schedules make appointments harder to fit in. Summer activities can also reveal problems that need addressing.
