Candy looks well but has been throwing up.

Bloodwork can help unlock why she’s been getting sick.

Key reasons why regular bloodwork is recommended for cats:

Early Detection: Identifies hidden illnesses like hyperthyroidism, kidney disease, and infection before clinical symptoms appear.

Establish Baseline Levels: Normal results establish a baseline for your cat, making it easier to identify subtle changes in future tests.

Pre-Anesthetic Safety: Checks organ function (liver and kidneys) to ensure your cat can safely metabolize anesthetic drugs.

Monitoring Chronic Illness: Tracks the progression of known illnesses and the effectiveness of treatments over time.

Senior Care: Recommended at least annually for senior cats (aged 8+) to catch age-related diseases early.

Visiting earth here is Pluto a Turkish Angora!

Distinguished by his white fluffy coat and multi coloured eyes, he’s a breed you don’t see too often.

Graceful, elegant and refined, the Turk is delicate in appearance but possesses both muscular strength and a very strong will.

Turk Angoras are more likely to be found on top of the tallest cabinet in the house. So if you can’t find your Turk just look up!!!

Prince has bounced back from his neuter surgery. He is asking for treats like nothing happened! 👏🫅

Here he is getting all the love & cuddles from our lovely staff Ginger!

Benefits of Neutering in Cats

Disease Prevention:

Completely eliminates the risk of testicular cancer and lowers the risk of prostate problems.

Increased Lifespan:

Neutered cats, on average, live longer and healthier lives due to reduced exposure to outdoor hazards.

Reduced Disease Transmission:

Because they are less likely to fight, neutered cats have a much lower risk of contracting serious, incurable diseases like Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV).

Behavioral Benefits

Stops Urine Marking: Neutering solves or reduces urine spraying in about (90%) of male cats, drastically reducing strong, unpleasant urine odors in your home.

Less Urge to Roam:

It significantly decreases the drive to wander in search of a mate, which lowers the risk of getting lost, hit by cars, or injured by other animals.

Reduced Aggression:

Neutered cats are much less likely to get into territorial fights with other cats, meaning fewer bite wounds, abscesses, and costly veterinary bills.

Community Impact

Prevents Overpopulation:

One unneutered male can impregnate multiple female cats. Neutering your cat plays a crucial role in reducing the millions of homeless cats that enter shelters every year.

Meet Nico! This 13 months Maltipoo puppy came in for his Rabies vaccine!

Rabies Vaccine for Dogs FAQs

How often should a rabies vaccine be given to a dog?

The rabies vaccine is given every one to three years depending on the product used and local regulations.

Do dogs really need a rabies shot?

Rabies disease is 100% fatal, and the vaccine is the best preventive measure available. The vaccine is also required by law in most jurisdictions.

What are the side effects of the rabies shot for dogs?

If dogs develop side effects, they’re usually mild, such as a low-grade fever, lethargy, decreased appetite, and soreness or swelling at the vaccine site. Rarely, more serious reactions like anaphylaxis can occur.
