Cats need regular checkups to stay happy and healthy. We recommend that adult cats have a wellness exam at least once a year. Senior cats or those with health issues may need to visit more frequently to catch problems early. Regular visits help keep them feeling their best and can identify health concerns before they become serious.

If you have questions about your cat’s care, reach out at 443-877-7460 — we’re here to help!

Cracked paw pads might look just like dry skin, but they can signal something deeper, especially if they split, bleed, or make walking painful. Dehydration, allergies, salt from winter roads, or nutritional imbalances are all potential causes. Hydrating balms can help, but chronic cracks need our attention. Contact us at 443-877-7460 so we can investigate your pup’s paw issues. Don’t forget to use paw balm or booties in extreme weather!

Early detection can make a huge difference in treatment and recovery. Have you noticed this behavior shift in your dog? Call us at 443-877-7460.

Did you know hot pavement can burn your dog’s paw pads within seconds? During summertime walks, always do the 7-second test: if you can’t keep the back of your hand on the pavement for 7 seconds, it’s too hot for paws! Opt for early mornings, late evenings, grassy paths, or dog booties to keep your pup safe in the heat. Protect those pawprints on every adventure! Need more safety tips? Give us a call.

Did you know that cats perceive the world in a way that's somewhat similar to someone who is colorblind? While they excel at spotting greens and blues, shades of pinks and reds often remain elusive to their keen senses. This unique perspective on color highlights just how different their vision is compared to ours. It’s fascinating to think about how our furry friends experience their surroundings, navigating a vibrant world filled with hidden hues that we often take for granted!
