More than half of dogs and cats are considered overweight, and even a few extra pounds can affect their long-term health. Excess weight increases the risk of arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, breathing problems, and a shorter lifespan.

If you're concerned about your pet's weight, we're happy to help. Call (801) 262-6414.

Essential oil diffusers may smell pleasant to us, but some oils can be harmful to cats.

Because cats groom themselves frequently, oils that settle on their fur, paws, or nearby surfaces can be ingested over time. Cats also process certain compounds differently than people, making them more sensitive to some essential oils.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer. Some dogs only need a bath every few months, while others may benefit from more frequent bathing depending on their breed, coat type, activity level, and skin health.

Bathing too often can dry out the skin, while not bathing enough may allow dirt, allergens, and oils to build up. If you're unsure what's right for your dog, we're happy to help. Call (801) 262-6414.

It's true! A healthy adult cat's heart typically beats between 140 and 220 times per minute, compared to about 60–100 beats per minute in most adults.

Kittens often have even faster heart rates because they're growing so quickly.

Cats may be small, but their hearts work incredibly hard every day!

True! Extra weight places additional stress on your pet's joints, making arthritis and mobility issues more likely over time.

True! Whiskers are highly sensitive sensory tools that help cats detect nearby objects, judge whether they can fit through tight spaces, and navigate in low light.

That's why whiskers should never be trimmed, they're an important part of how cats experience the world.

For most dogs, nail trims are needed every 3–4 weeks, but the ideal schedule depends on how quickly their nails grow and how much they naturally wear them down.

If you hear your dog's nails clicking on the floor, it's usually a sign they're ready for a trim. Keeping nails at a healthy length helps prevent discomfort, joint strain, and broken nails.
