Does your cat prefer to drink from the faucet instead of the water bowl?
Cats have evolved to recognize that still and stagnant
water is more likely to be contaminated with bacteria, while running water is fresh and clean.
If your cat doesn’t seem to be interested in a water bowl, try a water fountain!
As we prepare for spring cleaning, it’s a good time to learn about common household pet dangers.
Bleach, toilet bowl cleaners, carpet fresheners, and even some essential oils are poisonous to pets. Please read labels carefully, and call us with any concerns!
Here's a tasty snack for your doggo! Freeze to make it (hopefully) last longer!🐶

As we get back to our pre-COVID lives, some pets are experiencing separation anxiety as their owners return to work and school.
🐕In dogs, separation anxiety is often expressed through destructive actions such as chewing or digging.
🐈In cats, it can manifest in behaviors like eliminating outside the litterbox, excessive meowing, or refusing to eat.
There are many different ways separation anxiety can be expressed, if you have any concerns about your furry friend give us a call!

Valentine’s Day is coming up and it can be quite dangerous for our fourlegged friends!
Here are a couple safety tips to keep in mind!

February is Spay and Neuter Awareness Month.
Did you know that spaying and neutering can reduce
or eliminate the risk of certain cancers?
It can also help curb unwanted behaviors such as spraying, fighting, and roaming away from home!
Spay and Neuter Awareness Month is designed to help homeless animal shelters across the United States. 🐈🐕🦺
Many parasites pose a risk to your pets year-round. Fleas can survive cold temperatures when they have a warm host to live on – like your pet. Ticks can also survive in colder climates, seeking shelter under fallen leaves and snow.
Ask us which products are best for your pet. 🐾
Did you know that heart, liver and kidney problems can be traced back to your pet’s oral health?
In honor of National Pet Dental Health Month, have
your pet’s teeth and gums checked yearly and try brush at home at least twice a week, their dental health is no different than ours, and tartar can build up quickly!
During the month of February we offer discounts on dental cleanings! Call the clinic at 563-382-3806 to set up a dental for your pet!
Happy Tuesday😸
After so many years of love and loyalty, our senior pets deserve extra care in their golden years.
Regular exams are important as your pet ages because they allow us to detect disease in early stages.
By catching changes quickly, we can treat small problems before they progress.
Happy Wednesday! Looking for some more enrichment ideas? Fresh apples and Xylitol-free peanut butter are needed for this tasty treat!

rubbing at the ear, discharge, odor, head shaking, redness or swelling.
There are quite a few causes of ear infections in pets – including bacteria, yeast, parasites, and allergies.
Since untreated ear infections can lead to hearing loss, please see us if your pet is experiencing symptoms.

About half of our country’s pets are overweight or obese, putting them at a higher risk of serious health issues like diabetes and cancer.
Losing weight isn’t as easy as feeding less and exercising more. We look at many factors when mapping out a weight loss plan.
Start the new year right with a consultation.
We will be closed today from 12-1 for a staff meeting!

A pet wellness exam is the perfect first step to kicking off a healthy New Year.

Ever wonder why dogs walk in circles before lying down? Some say it's a behavior passed down for generations. In the wild, dogs spun in circles to stamp down vegetation and create a soft, level surface.
***Attention!***
Due to the power outage we will be closed until it is back on. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience and will work hard to help you all when the power is on again.
Thank you for your understanding!
Tis the season to spoil your furry friends! When shopping for holiday gifts, use this guide to help you pick the safest toys and treats.
Here are some gift ideas that go beyond the regular old treats and toys:
Have a pet who gets bored easily? Try a brainboosting puzzle toy!
For the gift that keeps on giving, how about a
monthly subscription box for pets?
A cozy heated bed is a great idea for pets with
arthritis.

What do you think goes on in your furry friends mind? 🤔
This holiday season, remember that every pet deserves a pet parent who has the time, and energy to care for them long term.
Sadly, many pets who are given as gifts are surrendered to shelters once the novelty wears off.
Instead of gifting a pet, consider paying the adoption fee, or wrap up some supplies and visit your local shelter together.
