Did you know over 60% of cats are considered overweight or obese? 🐱➕ While a little extra fluff might seem cute, feline obesity is a serious health concern that can lead to diabetes, joint pain, heart disease, and a shorter lifespan.

Early prevention is key—weight gain in cats often goes unnoticed until health issues appear. In addition to feeding high-quality, portion-controlled diets, encourage daily play to keep your cat active. Think feather toys, laser pointers, or food puzzles to keep both mind and body engaged! 🧠💪

Your vet can help determine your cat’s ideal weight and work with you to create a customized nutrition and exercise plan. A healthy weight means more years of snuggles, zoomies, and happy purrs. 💛

If you're unsure whether your cat may be overweight or just fluffy, give us a call—we’re happy to help!

🚨 Avian Flu Alert: Protect Your Pets! 🚨

We want to inform our community that there has been a recent spike in avian flu (H5N1) cases, which can pose a risk to pets, particularly cats and dogs. While the virus primarily affects birds, there have been reported cases of domestic pets contracting avian flu from infected wildlife.

🦠 How Can Pets Contract Avian Flu?
🐦 Exposure to Infected Birds – Pets that come into contact with sick or dead wild birds are at risk.
🍗 Consumption of Raw Poultry – Feeding raw or undercooked poultry products may expose pets to the virus.
🌱 Contaminated Environments – Water sources, grass, or surfaces contaminated by infected birds can harbor the virus.

🚨 Symptoms in Pets
🐾 Fever or lethargy
🐾 Difficulty breathing
🐾 Coughing or sneezing
🐾 Loss of appetite
🐾 Vomiting or diarrhea

If your pet has any of these symptoms, especially after exposure to birds, contact us immediately.

🛑 How to Protect Your Pets
✅ Keep cats indoors and dogs leashed on walks.
✅ Avoid areas where wild birds gather, such as ponds and fields.
✅ Do not feed pets raw or undercooked poultry.
✅ Disinfect food and water bowls if pets go outside.
✅ Wash your hands after handling birds or cleaning outdoor areas.

Early detection is key! Call us if you have concerns about your pet's health. Let’s keep our furry friends safe! ❤️🐾

🚨 Flea Prevention: Why It Matters for ALL Pets! 🚨

Think your indoor pet is safe from fleas? Think again! Fleas can hitch a ride on clothing, other animals, or even sneak in through open doors and windows. Once inside, they can multiply fast—a single flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day! 😱

Why Flea Prevention is a Must
🐾 It only takes ONE flea bite to trigger an allergic reaction, causing intense itching, hair loss, and skin infections.
🐾 Fleas can transmit tapeworms and other diseases to pets.
🐾 A flea infestation is much harder to treat than to prevent!

Prevention Options We Carry
✅ Credelio – A fast-acting oral flea & tick prevention for both dogs and cats.
✅ Revolution Plus – A topical solution for cats that protects against fleas, ticks, ear mites, and more.
✅ Simparica Trio – An all-in-one chewable for dogs that prevents fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites.

Year-round protection is key! Don't wait until fleas become a problem—protect your pet today! 🐶🐱
