A high protein percentage on a pet food label does not guarantee your dog or cat is actually getting the nutrients they need. Bioavailability is what determines if their body can absorb and use those ingredients effectively.

Choosing high quality animal proteins over plant fillers ensures your companion maintains a shiny coat and strong muscles. Look past the simple numbers on the bag to find ingredients that truly nourish their unique system. Learn more at blog. 🐾 🥣

Why "High Protein" isn't always the answer.

Most of us look for the highest protein number on the bag, but did you know there is no legal limit on how much protein a food can have? 🥩

While protein is vital, the "Protein Paradox" means that for seniors or pets with kidney issues, too much can actually be hard on their bodies. Some of the most effective prescription diets have to skip the "Complete and Balanced" label just to keep protein levels safe for a pet’s kidneys.

Labels give you the basics, but they don't know your pet’s health history. Book a house call vet today for personalized nutritional guidance. Our vets help you look past the labels to find exactly what your pet needs to thrive. 🩺 🐾

I think the tripods actually get adopted quickly, but the rest seems true.

Did you know that some of our most deserving shelter cats wait the longest for a home? 😔 This illustration highlights just a few of the amazing categories of cats who get overlooked every single day.

Senior cats offer aLifetime of wisdom and calm companionship. 👵 Overweight cats just need a chance and a supportive environment to thrive. ⚖️ Tripods show incredible resilience and never let their difference hold them back. 🐾 Black cats are simply sleek and stunning (no, they're not bad luck!). 🖤 Bonded pairs mean twice the love and a built-in best friend. 👯‍♀️ And cats with FIV/FeLV can live long, happy lives in the right homes with proper care. 💖

The next time you visit a shelter, please ask who has been waiting the longest. The "unadoptables" are often the most incredible animals you will ever meet. Consider giving one of these special cats a second chance at happiness today. 🐈
