Happy National Cat Day! Every cat has their own personality, from skittish cuddle bugs to self-anointed royalty that run the house from their cardboard box, but always precious in their own way. That’s part of their charm, isn’t it?��

Just for fun, visit purrjung.org to take their purrrsonality quiz inspired by actual feline personality research! And of course, if you ever have questions about your cat’s health or behavior, give us a call - we’re always happy to help.

🎃 Why buy a Halloween costume when your entire personality already comes with accessories?

We’re putting pet life in a costume bag—and some of these feel suspiciously like someone’s been watching us. 👀

Each costume comes complete with oddly specific habits, questionable decisions and accessories you probably already have somewhere under the couch.

Assembly required. Dignity sold separately. Batteries not included. 🐾

👀 The Creature from Beneath the Bed
Two glowing eyes. One suspicious rustle. And a paw that reminds you your ankles are technically within reach. 🐈‍⬛

Before you call an exorcist, it’s probably just your cat enjoying some privacy.

Why do cats hide under the bed?
🛏️ It feels safe. A sheltered spot lets them stay tucked away while keeping an eye on what’s happening.
💤 They want uninterrupted rest. Apparently, “just one more forehead kiss” is not part of their nap schedule.
🙀 Something feels overwhelming. Visitors, loud noises, new pets or changes at home can send them seeking a quieter space.
🩺 They may not feel well. Pain or illness can also cause cats to hide, especially if it’s a new habit or they’re hiding more than usual.

Give your cat comfortable hiding spots and let them emerge on their own terms. If their hiding habits change—or you notice changes in eating, energy or litter box use—contact us.

Respect the tiny tenant beneath your bed. But keep tabs on them, too. 🖤

October is National Pet Wellness Month and a great reminder to check in on your pet's overall health. Pay special attention to nutrition, exercise, year-round protection, and mental stimulation, as they all play an important role in your pet's well-being. ��

Even if your pet seems fine, everyday activities can expose them to parasites and disease. Year-round protection helps reduce those risks and can prevent more serious health problems down the road. If you'd like personalized guidance for your pet's unique needs, you're always welcome to schedule a wellness visit at our clinic.

👻 Monster of the Week: small villains, big pet problems.

They don’t knock. They don’t need an invitation. And they definitely don’t leave when Halloween ends. Meet the lineup our veterinary team wants you to watch for:

🧛 Fleas: The Tiny Vampires
Their bites can cause intense itching and allergic skin reactions. These unwanted guests can also settle into your home, making consistent, pet-appropriate prevention important.

🕷️ Ticks: The Hitchhikers
They attach to pets and can transmit disease. Check your pet after outdoor adventures and ask us which tick protection fits their lifestyle.

🪱 Intestinal Worms: The Hidden Houseguests
Some pets have no obvious symptoms—and you won’t always see worms in their stool. Stool testing helps us find infections that might otherwise go unnoticed.

🦷 Dental Disease: The Creature Beneath the Gumline
Bad breath isn’t always just “dog breath.” Inflamed gums, painful teeth and trouble chewing deserve a closer look. Home dental care and veterinary dental exams work together to protect that smile.

👂 Ear Infections: The Head-Shaking Haunting
Scratching, redness, odour or discharge can signal a problem. Different causes need different treatments, so skip the mystery drops and let us investigate.

📞 Noticed something suspicious? Call our team to schedule a visit or review your pet’s preventive care. These villains don’t deserve a sequel. 🎬🐾
