"Feed me."

"Move your hand."

"You are sitting in my spot."

That's probably about as close as we'd get. 😸 If your cat could text you, what do you think their very first message would be? Share your funniest answer in the comments!

Let's be honest...

To your dog, you're the favorite person in the world. You're the food provider, the walking buddy, the toy thrower, and the source of endless belly rubs.

If your dog had to describe you in one word, what do you think it would be?

Share your answer in the comments, we'd love to hear it!

Almost never. Cats don't have accidents to "get back at" their owners.

Instead, they're usually trying to tell us something is wrong. Common causes include:
🚽 Urinary tract infections
🪨 Bladder stones
😿 Stress or anxiety
🦴 Arthritis or pain
🧹 Litter box issues

A cat that repeatedly goes in and out of the litter box, strains to urinate, or produces little to no urine could have a urinary blockage, a life-threatening emergency, especially in male cats. If your cat suddenly stops using the litter box, don't punish them. Schedule a veterinary visit to find the underlying cause.

If your dog suddenly refuses their regular food but happily accepts treats, don't assume they're just being picky.

Dental disease, mouth pain, an upset stomach, or other underlying medical conditions can all affect a dog's appetite. Some dogs will continue eating treats because they're softer or more appealing.

If your dog refuses regular meals for more than a day, develops vomiting or diarrhea, becomes lethargic, or stops eating altogether, they should be examined by a veterinarian. If you're concerned about your dog's appetite, call us at (317) 888-4405.

Cats are masters at hiding pain. In the wild, showing weakness could make them vulnerable to predators, so they instinctively mask signs of illness or injury.

Subtle changes like hiding more often, decreased appetite, sleeping more, avoiding jumps, or changes in grooming may be the only clues that something is wrong.

Routine wellness exams help us detect problems before they become more serious. If your cat's behavior has changed, call us at (317) 888-4405.

This is false. Providing fresh water and shade is important, but it doesn't guarantee your pet won't develop heatstroke.

Pets can still overheat on hot, humid days, especially if they've been active or have difficulty cooling themselves. Flat-faced breeds, overweight pets, seniors, and those with heart or respiratory disease are at an even greater risk. If your pet is panting excessively, drooling, vomiting, seems weak, or collapses, seek veterinary care immediately. Heatstroke is a medical emergency, and early treatment can save lives.

If you have questions about keeping your pet safe this summer, call us at (317) 888-4405.

It might be, but don't assume hot weather is the only reason.

Some cats eat a little less during the summer, but drinking significantly more water while eating very little is not something to ignore.

Excessive thirst can be an early sign of serious medical conditions like:
💧 Kidney disease
💧 Diabetes
💧 Hyperthyroidism

Cats also shouldn't go long without eating. Even 24–48 hours without enough food can put them at risk for a dangerous liver condition called hepatic lipidosis.

If your cat's appetite has dropped, they're drinking much more than usual, or they're acting differently, it's time to schedule an exam. Have questions? Give us a call at (317) 888-4405.

Road trips can be stressful for cats, but a little preparation goes a long way. Travel with your cat in a secure, well-ventilated carrier, take breaks only when it's safe to do so, and use a harness and leash if your cat will be outside the carrier. Never allow your cat to roam freely inside a moving vehicle.

Safe travels start with planning ahead.

If you have questions about traveling with your cat, call us at (317) 888-4405.

Flying with your dog takes a little extra planning.

Before your trip, review your airline's pet travel requirements, help your dog become comfortable in their carrier, and arrive early to allow plenty of time for check-in.

If your dog has underlying medical conditions or becomes anxious during travel, talk with your veterinarian well before your departure.

Safe travels start with preparation.
