Socialization | Indoor Pet Initiative

Socialization is the most important thing to do with your young puppy to teach them good manners with other people and other dogs. Options include puppy classes, puppy play groups with your friends, taking them to outdoor events or places like Home Depot (just be careful with limiting their exposure to dogs with an unknown vaccine status).

The socialization period in puppies begins at age 3 weeks and continues to age 12-14 weeks, depending on the breed. During this time, a puppy's brain is...

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ: Cats are very different than dogs....in that, when they act sick, they usually are VERY sick. Since cats are prey in the wild, they are instinctively very stoic up until they cannot mask it anymore and it is at this point you should NOT wait to take your cat to the vet. The sooner we take a look at them, the easier it is to get them feeling better!
Some signs to look for:
-lethargy
-lack of interest in food
-hiding in odd places
-head held down
-not walking well
-consistent vomiting
