Cats are famously good at seeming fine.
That independence is part of what makes them wonderful companions and also why discomfort can go unnoticed.

Watch for subtle changes like:
✨ Grooming habits
🍽️ Appetite
❤️ Time spent with the family

An annual wellness exam helps catch small issues before they become bigger ones.

📞 Call 318-562-5878 to schedule your cat's visit.

Temperatures inside a parked vehicle can rise rapidly, even with the windows cracked open. Dogs and cats cannot cool themselves as efficiently as people, making them especially vulnerable to heatstroke. If your pet cannot come inside with you, it is safest to leave them at home.

During International Assistance Dog Week, we celebrate the incredible dogs who help people live more independently every day. ❤️

Many assistance dogs are trained to recognize subtle changes that most of us would never notice, from shifts in blood sugar to the early signs of a seizure or rising anxiety. Their dedication, intelligence, and partnership with their handlers are truly remarkable.

Just like any other dog, they rely on regular wellness exams, preventive care, proper nutrition, and plenty of rest to stay healthy and ready for the important work they do.

📞 Whether your dog is a working partner or a beloved family companion, we're here to help keep them healthy. Call us to schedule a wellness visit: 318-562-5878

Around 6.5 million animals enter U.S. shelters every year. 🏡
Shelters are opening their doors this month to help change that number. If you have been thinking about adding a dog or cat to your family, August is a genuinely good time to go look. And once they are home, we're here to help them settle in healthy.

Some people planned it for months. Others were just stopping by to look. A few got a phone call they weren't expecting. However your first meeting went, there's usually a detail that sticks with you, a specific moment when you knew this animal was coming home. Share that story in the comments. The short version, the long version, whatever you've got. We love hearing how these things actually happen, and we feel lucky to be part of keeping those animals healthy once they're home. If you're new to the area or recently added a pet to your family, we'd love to meet them.
