Cats are masters at hiding illness. Signs are often very subtle, so owners need to be keen observers in order to spot the signs and get their feline companions to the vet as soon as possible. The image below outlines things owners should watch for as indicators that cats may be sick or in pain.
PLEASE call us if you have any concerns about your cat's health (770-972-7026).

Summer Heat + Short Snouts = Deadly Serious Risk ☀️
As temperatures rise, so does the danger of heatstroke for our furry friends, ESPECIALLY brachycephalic breeds like Bulldogs, Pugs, and Boxers.
🔴 Dogs don’t sweat like we do. They cool off by panting and through their nasal cavities. But not all noses are created equal!
📊 As this graphic shows, dogs like German Shepherds have a much larger nasal cavity devoted to cooling their bodies, while flat-faced breeds have much less space to regulate their temperature, which makes them far more prone to overheating.
💔 For brachycephalic breeds, just a short walk in the sun or a few minutes in a hot car can be deadly.
🔥 Heat Safety Tips:
✅ Always provide fresh water and shade.
✅ Avoid walks or outside time during the hottest part of the day.
✅ Never leave your dog in a parked car for any amount of time.
✅ Watch for signs of heatstroke: excessive panting, drooling, vomiting, lethargy, purple tongue or collapse.
✅ Know your breed's limits — some can't safely handle heat at all.
📣 Share this to help keep pets safe this summer!

Awesome news for pets in Pennsylvania! Pennsylvania House of representatives passed Bill 97, that classifies pets as “living beings that are generally regarded as cherished family members” — not inanimate personal property. Hoping more states will follow their lead!
