Summer is here, and pets feel the heat too.

Hot pavement, rising temperatures, and dehydration can become dangerous quickly for dogs and cats during Missouri summers. Make sure pets have shade, fresh water, and avoid long walks during the hottest parts of the day.

If something feels off, don’t wait to get them checked.

Bad breath isn’t always “just dog breath.”

Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in pets, and it can impact much more than their teeth. Regular dental care can help improve comfort, health, and quality of life.

A healthy mouth matters more than most people realize.

Dogs and cats aren’t the only patients we care for.

James River Animal Hospital also treats exotic pets including birds, rabbits, reptiles, and more. Exotic animals have unique health needs, and regular veterinary care is just as important for them too.

Every pet has their own personality…

The nervous one. The curious one. The one who acts like they run the house.

Which one do you have?
