🎶It's a musical Monday morning!

Pets don’t just steal our hearts… they steal the spotlight in songs too! From dogs and cats to imaginary pet adventures, here’s a playlist of tunes inspired by the animals we love:

🎵 “Martha My Dear” – The Beatles
A sweet tribute to Paul McCartney’s sheepdog. 🐶

🎵 “Delilah” – Queen
Freddie Mercury wrote this for his favorite cat—and even meows in it. 😻

🎵 “I Love My Dog” – Cat Stevens
Because some love stories start with a wagging tail. 🐾

🎵 “Old Shep” – Elvis Presley
Warning: this one’s a real tearjerker. 💔

🎵 “The Puppy Song” – Harry Nilsson
Because who hasn’t daydreamed about getting a puppy?

🎵 “Man of the Hour” – Norah Jones
An ode to her poodle, who apparently beat out all the men. 🐩💅

🎵 “Seamus the Dog” – Pink Floyd
Featuring actual howling. By Seamus. The dog. 🎤🐕

🎵 “Cracker Jack” – Dolly Parton
A childhood pup remembered with all the heart and sparkle only Dolly can deliver. ✨

🎵 “Bron-Y-Aur Stomp” – Led Zeppelin
A love song to Robert Plant’s dog. Yes, Zeppelin had a soft side. 🎸🐕

🎵 “Shannon” – Henry Gross
Inspired by the passing of Carl Wilson’s (of the Beach Boys) beloved Irish Setter. 🌊🐾

🎵 “Diamond Dogs” – David Bowie
Okay, it’s not about a real dog—but it’s glam rock, dystopia, and canines all rolled into one.

🎵 “Atomic Dog” – George Clinton
Funky, weird, and iconic. Barking included. 🕺🐶

🎵 “How Much is That Doggie in the Window?” – Patti Page
The OG pet anthem. 🎶🐕

Whether it’s rock, funk, pop, or soul—pets are always muses. 💛

🐾 Wellness Checks Matter!

Your pet may look healthy—but they aren't see-thru and we don't have x-ray vision!

Annual wellness exams and labwork are key to catching issues before they become serious. Pets are masters at hiding discomfort and illness, but a simple checkup and bloodwork can reveal things like:

🔬 Early kidney or liver disease
🐾 Hidden infections or inflammation
🍔 Thyroid or metabolic disorders
💉 Diabetes or anemia
🐶 Parasites or abnormal organ function

We check teeth, heart, weight, joints, eyes, and ears—and with labwork, we get a deeper picture of your pet's internal health.

Prevention is always better (and cheaper) than treatment.

Let’s keep your pet happy, healthy, and by your side for as long as possible. 💙

💛 July 11 is Cheer Up the Lonely Day 💛

Loneliness can affect anyone — and sometimes, a little kindness (and a wagging tail) goes a long way. Pets have an incredible ability to lift our spirits and bring joy when we need it most. Here are just a few ways animals help cheer up lonely hearts:

🐾 A gentle purr or a wagging tail can ease feelings of isolation.
🐾 Pets give us a reason to smile — and a reason to get out of bed.
🐾 They listen without judgment and love without conditions.
🐾 A short walk with a dog can lead to new friendships.
🐾 Even a visit with a therapy animal can change someone’s entire day.

If you know someone who might be feeling lonely, reach out. Share a photo of your pet, stop by for a visit, or just send a kind message. And if you're the one feeling lonely — you're not alone. 💛

From all of us to all of you - we're grateful for the joy your animals bring and the love they help us share. 🐶🐱
