Catnip contains a natural compound called nepetalactone, which interacts with scent receptors in many cats.

Some cats become playful and energetic, while others roll, rub, purr, or simply relax. The effects usually last about 10–15 minutes before wearing off. Interestingly, not every cat responds to catnip. Sensitivity is inherited, and about one-third of cats don't react to it at all.

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 (304) 763-0103.

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 (304) 763-0103.

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!
