February is National Dental Health Month! Most cats have initial signs of gum disease by the time they are 3 years old, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. It can get worse as cats get older and lead to serious health problems without proper treatment. https://pbxx.it/ABNEIq

Charcoal has found somewhere cozy to wait out the weather!

Our office will open late tomorrow morning due to the risk of ice on the roads. All drop-off appointments including surgical procedures should arrive at 8:00 AM. We anticipate the rest of the day to operate as normal, but will keep you posted here and on our website if anything changes.

Our office has been a little too quiet since the loss of our office cat, Colette, so we would like to introduce you to a new Resident Feline in Training you may catch sight of during your visit!
This is Charcoal (aka "CC" or "CK"). She is 5 months old and a pawful of energy who loves to dart around the clinic while playing hide-and-seek. We're still feeling each other out, but we are very hopeful that she will be here to stay!

Update: Benny has found a home! Thin Mint, Shaggy, and Fred (from previous posts) are still looking for their furever families.

Benny's owner recently passed away, and he is hoping for a new family for Christmas (or maybe for his birthday in January!). He is a 12 year old neutered terrier mix weighing about 31 pounds, with no current health concerns. He has been very well loved and taken care of, and is a gentle soul with a heart of gold.
If you or someone you know would be interested in adopting Benny, please contact the office at 979-693-8870.
