5 Signs Your Pet May Be in Pain

Pets are experts at hiding discomfort, so it's important to recognize the subtle signs.

Watch for:
✔ Decreased activity or reluctance to play
✔ Limping or difficulty getting up
✔ Changes in appetite
✔ Excessive licking of one area
✔ Personality changes, such as hiding or irritability

If you've noticed any of these signs, don't assume it's "just old age." Many painful conditions can be managed with proper veterinary care.

If you're concerned about your pet, we're here to help.

Fleas can survive indoors year-round.

Why Do Cats Purr?

Most people associate purring with happiness but cats purr for several reasons.

They may purr when they're:
✔ Relaxed
✔ Greeting someone they trust
✔ Nursing kittens
✔ Feeling anxious
✔ Recovering from illness or injury

Scientists even believe the vibrations produced while purring may help promote healing of bones and soft tissues.

Pretty amazing for such a simple sound!
