Should indoor cats receive heartworm prevention?
All cats should receive heartworm preventatives as mosquitoes can enter homes. We recommend year-round protection for both indoor and outdoor cats.
What are the risks of pet obesity?
Obesity in pets can lead to diabetes, joint problems, and organ disease. Our staff provides weight management plans including diet and exercise recommendations.
When should dewclaws be removed?
Dewclaws and tails should be removed at two days of age. Contact our clinic for more information about this procedure.
Why is spaying/neutering important?
Spaying/neutering prevents pet overpopulation, reduces shelter euthanasia, and improves pet health. It also decreases roaming behavior and certain cancer risks.
How often should pets receive blood work?
We recommend annual blood work for adult pets and more frequent testing for seniors. This helps detect organ dysfunction and other health issues early.
