October 6-12, 2025 is World Pet Obesity Week!

🐶We know how difficult it can be to avoid giving your adorable pets extra treats and table scraps. We understand how excited your pets become when they are rewarded with a cube of cheese (as some might say, “paid the cheese tax”). Unfortunately, these treats and small bites here and there can quickly lead to weight gain. We don’t judge, and we are here to help!

🐱Each animal has their own ideal body condition based on their proportions and musculature. It is important to make sure that your pet is at an ideal body condition score to improve their longevity.

🐰Pet obesity is common and highly treatable. Besides of caloric intake, there are many possible contributing factors, such as genetics, medical conditions, or environmental influences that can cause weight gain or weight loss. If you notice that your pet is below or above the ideal body condition score, we are here to help find the cause and a solution.

☎️Contact our clinic at (561) 488-1400.

📌We are open Monday-Friday from 8am to 4pm, and Saturdays from 8am-12pm.

Check out this before and after of a beak and nail trim by Dr. Watnick! This ~45 year old bird must feel so much better. 🤩

🦜In the wild, birds naturally wear down their beaks and nails through activities like foraging and climbing. Pet birds have different lifestyles, so overgrowth frequently occurs. An overgrown beak can become misshapen or cracked, causing pain, eating difficulties, and health issues.

🦜Long/sharp nails can affect posture and grip strength. They can eventually grow into the footpad, leading to pain or infection.

📞Contact us today at (561) 488-1400 to schedule your bird’s beak & nail trim!

📌We are open Monday-Friday from 8am to 4pm, and Saturdays from 8am-12pm.

“Act Now: You, Me, Community” is this year’s theme!
This theme is a powerful reminder that preventing rabies is a team effort. From pet owners to veterinary professionals, we each play an important role.

💉 Ensure your pets’ vaccinations are up to date.
🐱 Keep your pets away from wildlife.
🔍If you notice an animal behaving abnormally (unprovoked aggression, foaming at the mouth, loss of balance), contact your local health department or animal control.
