A dog’s reaction to guests can tell us a lot about their comfort level and behavior. Reactions like barking, hiding, or guarding can be linked to anxiety, lack of socialization, or protective instincts. Understanding those signals can help prevent stress and create safer interactions for everyone.

Polydactyl cats are born with extra toes, most often on their front paws. It’s a genetic trait and is usually completely harmless, just an extra dose of cute. That said, those extra toes can come with a few care considerations. More toes means more nails to trim, and sometimes they grow at different angles or are easier to snag if not maintained. Most polydactyl cats live totally normal, healthy lives, but regular paw checks and nail trims are important to keep them comfortable.

To your cat… it’s actually a compliment! Cats groom the ones they trust. It can also be a way to bond, mark you with their scent, or just show a little love (in their own… chaotic way).

If it ever becomes excessive or obsessive, it could be a sign of stress or something medical, so keep an eye on it.

Dogs experience the world through scent in a way we can’t fully imagine. They have up to 300 million scent receptors, compared to about 6 million in humans, which means smells carry much more information for them.

What seems gross to us is often fascinating and informative to them. It’s completely normal behavior, even if it makes us question their choices.

Wishing you and your pets a safe, happy Memorial Day!

As you spend time with family and friends, don’t forget to keep an eye on your furry family members too. Loud noises, hot weather, unattended food, and busy gatherings can all be stressful, or even dangerous, for pets.

A little extra caution can help make the holiday safe and enjoyable for everyone ❤️

HOLIDAY WEEKEND HOURS

We will be open our normal operating hours this weekend:
• Saturday: 10 AM – 8 PM
• Sunday: 10 AM – 6 PM
• Memorial Day Monday: 12 PM – 8 PM

Please note that we expect this to be a very busy holiday weekend across the state. All 5 veterinary emergency hospitals in Maine will be open 24/7 throughout the weekend.

At Atlas Veterinary Urgent Care, our focus is urgent care medicine, outpatient treatment, stabilization, and very short-term hospitalization. While we are absolutely available to help stabilize emergent pets in close proximity to us, pets requiring ongoing intensive or critical care will be transferred to one of the emergency hospitals for continued treatment.

We understand that being redirected to an ER can sometimes feel frustrating, especially during stressful situations. Please know that if we recommend your pet go directly to an emergency hospital, it is because we genuinely believe that is the safest and best option for your pet’s condition and level of care needed.

Our goal is to work alongside our local ER hospitals to help pets receive the right level of care as efficiently as possible this holiday weekend. Thank you, as always, for your patience, kindness, and understanding as we care for the pets in our community. 💜

A cat’s nose print is completely unique, much like a human fingerprint. The tiny ridges and patterns on their nose create a one-of-a-kind identifier.

Changes in the appearance or texture of the nose can sometimes reflect hydration or overall health, so it’s always worth paying attention to what’s normal for your cat. Noticing changes? Call us: (207) 621-2287
