🐾 Happy National Cat Day from the very cat-loving team at TVWC

We didn’t set out to become “cat people”…
but somehow our team shares their home (and pillow, and laptop keyboard) with a whiskered roommate (or two) who run the place.

To our feline family — staff cats, and all the cats we care for in our community — thank you for filling our laps, windowsills, and hearts. We’re so glad you’re here. 😻

👇💬 Drop your cat in the comments so we can properly admire them.

October is National Pet CBD Month, and we’re proud to partner with ElleVet — a Maine-based company leading the way in veterinarian-developed CBD for pets. 💚

CBD can be a wonderful tool to support your pet’s joint health, mobility, comfort, calm, and neurological well-being. We’ve seen great results in dogs managing arthritis, cognitive changes, and anxiety during storms or travel. 🐾

Every pet is unique, and we love helping families explore safe, effective options that support long-term comfort and overall wellness. 🌿 If you’re curious about how CBD might benefit your dog or cat, talk with our team at your next visit — we’re happy to help.

We’re thrilled to announce that our signature CBD + CBDA Soft Chews have been awarded the Dog Soft Chew CBD Product of the Year by the 2025 Pet Innovation Awards , a respected organization recognizing excellence in the pet industry.

Thousands of pet parents rely on our chews to support their dogs’ mobility, joint health, and stress, which means the world to us here at ElleVet. Learn more about our award-winning soft chews: https://bit.ly/4o262in

We are grateful for this recognition and proud to make a difference in the lives of pets!

Knowing when it’s time to say goodbye to your pet is one of the most challenging and emotional decisions you will make. The reality is that it will likely never feel like the “right choice”, but it’s important to remember that if your pet is suffering, saying goodbye is a selfless act of love 🤍

So how do we know when it’s time?

It will look different for every pet, but here are a few things you can do to gain a better understanding of their wellbeing:

1) Track their good days and bad days on a calendar. Does one seem to outweigh the other?

2) Track their activities, which can be done on the same calendar. Are they participating in and enjoying their favorite activities? Are some days better than others?

3) Check in with your vet. They will be able to evaluate your pets physical health to help you better understand how they’re feeling physically.

Ultimately, you know your pet better than anyone else. You spend the most time with them, and you’re likely to tune in first when something is off. Trust your instincts and check in with your vet. You are their best advocate in ensuring their last days are full of comfort and love 🤍
