Doggie Bags Are Not For Dogs. People Food ≠ Dog Food

The food we eat can be too rich, spicy or even poisonous for our pups! Even if they really want a nibble of our dinner, it’s best to give them a dog treat instead. 

Leave no ear, tooth, or paw untouched…

Getting your pup accustomed to having their teeth, ears and paws touched will not only make your at-home, routine care easier, it will also greatly reduce the stress your pup may experience at our practice and at the groomer.

Dogs are very good at masking illness and diseases that may be present even in dogs that do not appear to be sick. If a disease can be detected early, before any signs of illness, then steps can often be taken to manage or correct the problem before permanent damage occurs. Wellness testing is particularly important in mature dogs, since there is a greater risk that they will develop disease or have an ongoing condition that needs to be monitored. Your veterinary could recomend the following tests.

  • Organ biochemical profile
  • Complete blood count
  • Thyroid test
  • Urinalysis

Any dog can develop arthritis. Knowing the signs of arthritis pain will help you determine when your dog may need veterinary attention. Ask these simple questions:
  • Does your dog tire easily or lag behind during long walks?
  • Does your dog limp or appear stiff after activity?
  • Is your dog reluctant to climb stairs or jump up?
  • Is your dog slow to rise from a resting position?
    • If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, talk to your veterinarian.

    Help to make sure that your pet will be healthy and active for as long as possible. We recommend measured, portioned feeding of an age-appropriate, high quality diet combined with a regular, structured exercise regimen (daily walks, agility, etc.). Ask your veterinarian to recommend the proper diet for your dog.
