Big or little, every dog has individual needs. Size and breed can influence exercise requirements, nutrition, joint health, dental care, and even how quickly a dog ages. Whatever size pup has your heart, routine veterinary care helps keep them feeling their best. Call (786) 361-9344 to schedule a visit.

Pets can have some pretty unusual habits, and many are completely harmless personality quirks. However, a new or sudden behavior change can sometimes be associated with discomfort, stress, or illness. You know your pet’s normal better than anyone, so pay attention when something seems different. Call (786) 361-9344 with any concerns.

Before any soft tissue surgery, there is a conversation. That consult is where the plan gets built.

At Paws and Claws Medical Center we perform soft tissue surgery for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, reptiles and small mammals when the patient and the indication fit. Some examples:

✂️ Spays and neuters
🔬 Minimally invasive (laparoscopic) spays for different species
🦎 Spays for reptiles, both lizards and chelonians (turtles and tortoises)
🐢 And beyond soft tissue, we also repair turtle and tortoise shells
🐰 And advanced dental procedures for small herbivores like rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas

Here is what a surgical consult with us includes:

• An exam and a review of your pet's history and the problem we are solving.
• A workup before anesthesia. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork is required, and we add other diagnostics when the case calls for them.
• An anesthesia plan built for the species. A rabbit, a parrot and a Labrador are not anesthetized the same way, and fasting rules are different for each.
• The surgical approach. When a smaller incision is the safer plan we discuss minimally invasive options, and when open surgery is safer we tell you that plainly.
• The risks, explained before you decide. Every surgery and every anesthesia carries some.
• Surgery-day instructions, including arriving early so your pet can settle in.
• An aftercare plan: what recovery looks like at home, what to watch for, and when we need to see your pet again.

Book a surgical consult at (786) 361-9344. Call for pricing.

Dogs have a wonderful way of reminding us to enjoy the little things. Play, exercise, social interaction, and quality time with their favorite people aren’t just fun either. They’re important parts of a dog’s physical and emotional wellbeing. Questions about keeping your dog happy and healthy? Call (786) 361-9344.

Healthy portions can be surprisingly easy to underestimate. Measuring meals, accounting for treats, and regularly monitoring your pet's body condition can make a big difference over time.

If your pet needs to gain or lose weight, avoid making drastic dietary changes without veterinary guidance. We can help determine an appropriate calorie intake based on their individual needs.

Call (786) 361-9344 for help developing a healthy weight plan.

Exercise supports much more than your pet's waistline. Regular activity can benefit cardiovascular health, mobility, muscle strength, mental stimulation, and overall quality of life.

The right activity level varies with age, breed, health, and physical ability, so find activities your individual pet can safely enjoy.

How does your pet like to stay active? Call (786) 361-9344 if you'd like help determining an appropriate exercise routine.

Knocking things off the counter may look like mischief, but cats often use their paws to investigate objects and learn about their environment. Providing toys, climbing spaces, scratching areas, and interactive play can give that curious brain plenty to do. For questions about your cat’s behavior or wellness, call (786) 361-9344.

Halloween is Saturday. The candy bowl, the party platter and the costume box are where a lot of post-holiday vet visits start.

Keep these out of reach:

• Chocolate. Darker and baking chocolate are the most dangerous.
• Sugar-free gum, candy and baked goods with xylitol. In dogs it can cause a dangerous drop in blood sugar and liver injury.
• Grapes and raisins, including trail mix and baked goods. They can cause kidney injury in dogs.
• Fatty scraps and cooked bones. Rich leftovers can trigger vomiting and pancreatitis, and bones can splinter or block the gut.
• Candy wrappers, foil and lollipop sticks, which can cause an obstruction if swallowed.
• Costumes that restrict breathing, sight or movement, or that have small parts a pet can chew off and swallow.

Exotic pets have their own rules. Birds, rabbits, ferrets, reptiles and small mammals do best with no novel treats and no candy or party food at all. Keep cages and enclosures away from cold drafts, open doors and the noise of the party, and keep ferrets away from anything rubbery or small enough to swallow.

Think your pet ate something it shouldn't have? Call us right away at (786) 361-9344. Don't wait for symptoms. We are not a 24/7 emergency hospital, so after hours please go to the nearest emergency veterinary hospital. ASPCA Animal Poison Control is also available at (888) 426-4435 (a consultation fee may apply).

A dog's nose can go from wet to dry throughout the day for perfectly normal reasons, including sleeping, weather, activity, and hydration.

Instead of judging health by nose moisture alone, watch your dog's overall behavior and symptoms.

If a dry nose is accompanied by lethargy, appetite changes, vomiting, discharge, cracking, sores, or other concerns, call (786) 361-9344.

Sometimes gradual weight gain is hard to notice when you see your pet every day.

A healthy body condition involves more than the number on the scale. Your veterinarian can evaluate your pet's ribs, waist, body shape, muscle condition, age, and lifestyle to determine an appropriate weight range.

Wondering where your pet falls? Call (786) 361-9344 to schedule a wellness visit.
