Yossi is here with a reminder that September is Happy Cat Month! 🖤🐱💛

Keeping your cat happy isn’t just about unlimited naps and treats (although we’re pretty sure they’d vote for both). A few simple ways to support a happy, healthy feline include:

🐾 Make time for daily play — interactive toys help satisfy natural hunting instincts and provide exercise.
🪟 Give them a room with a view — window perches, cat trees, and vertical spaces provide enrichment and a sense of security.
📦 Offer hiding spots — boxes, tunnels, and cozy retreats give cats a safe place to decompress.
🧩 Keep their brains busy — rotate toys, try puzzle feeders, and introduce new enrichment regularly.
💧 Encourage hydration — fresh water, fountains, and wet food can help increase water intake.
🩺 Stay on top of veterinary care — cats are masters at hiding illness, so regular nose-to-tail exams can catch subtle changes before they become bigger problems.

And, of course, provide plenty of chin scratches and affection—on their terms.

Here’s to happier, healthier cats all September long!

Meet Alfie, an adorable new miniature poodle puppy who’s here to remind everyone why f***l testing is such an important part of preventive care. 🐶

Puppies are especially prone to intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and Giardia—and some infections may be present even when your puppy seems perfectly healthy and their stool looks normal. A f***l test helps us catch these unwanted passengers early so we can treat them before they cause bigger problems.

And f***l testing isn’t just for puppies! Annual f***l screening throughout your pet’s life is an important part of routine wellness care. Dogs can pick up parasites from contaminated soil, standing water, other animals, and even everyday walks around the neighborhood.

Regular screening helps:
🐾 Detect parasites before symptoms appear
🐾 Protect your dog’s long-term health
🐾 Reduce environmental contamination
🐾 Identify certain parasites that can also pose a risk to people

So take a cue from Alfie: bring the p**p! 💩 A fresh stool sample at your pet’s annual wellness visit may not be glamorous, but it can give us valuable information about what’s happening on the inside.

Because good preventive care starts from nose to tail… and sometimes includes what comes out the other end. 😉

Preella is here with an important reminder: stinky breath isn’t just a normal part of being a pet! 😸🦷

Bad breath can be one of the first signs of dental disease. Problems like plaque and tartar buildup, inflamed gums, painful or damaged teeth, and other oral health concerns can easily go unnoticed at home—especially when our pets are experts at hiding discomfort.

That’s one reason regular nose-to-tail exams with your veterinarian are so important. 🩺🐾 During a routine exam, we check your pet’s mouth and teeth for changes that may need attention, helping us catch dental problems earlier and keep your pet comfortable and healthy.

So if your pet’s kisses have you turning your head... Preella says it might be time for a checkup! 😹💕

The look Addison gives when you say, “Oh, we only use flea, tick & heartworm prevention during the warm months.” 👀🐶

Addison has some concerns. 😂

Unfortunately, fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes don’t always follow the calendar. Temperature changes, warm winter days, and unpredictable weather can keep these pesky parasites active—even when it doesn’t feel like “flea and tick season.”

That’s why year-round flea, tick & heartworm prevention is so important. 🦟🪲❤️ Keeping your pet protected every month helps avoid gaps in coverage and protects them from parasites and the diseases they can carry.

Take it from Addison: 12 months of prevention = 12 months of protection. 🐾💊

Have questions about which prevention is right for your pet? Give us a call—we’re happy to help!

It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s gotta talk about it… a**l glands!

A**l glands are small scent glands located on either side of the a**s. They normally empty when your pet has a bowel movement, but sometimes they can become full, impacted, inflamed, or infected.

Keep an eye out for signs like:
🐾 Scooting or dragging their bottom
🐾 Excessive licking or chewing around the rear end
🐾 A strong or fishy odor
🐾 Redness, swelling, or tenderness near the a**s
🐾 Discomfort when sitting or having a bowel movement
🐾 Blood, discharge, or a sore near the area

If you notice these signs, it’s a good idea to have your pet checked out by us. Catching a**l gland problems early can help prevent a painful infection or abscess.

And remember: scooting isn’t just a quirky pet behavior—it can be their way of telling you something is bothering them! 🐶🐱

Randy is here with an important skincare reminder! 🐶🩺

Hot spots are red, irritated, often moist areas of skin that can seemingly pop up overnight. They can be triggered by things like allergies, insect bites, moisture, or anything that causes your pup to lick, chew, or scratch excessively. 🔥🐾

Because all that licking and scratching can make a hot spot worsen quickly, early treatment is important. If you notice a red, irritated, painful, or oozing area on your dog’s skin, it’s a good idea to have it checked by your veterinary team.

Randy says: less scratching, more treats! 🦴

Poppy stopped by to stay up to date on an important part of her preventive care: her Leptospirosis (Lepto) vaccine! 💉🐾

Think Lepto is only a concern for dogs hiking, swimming, or living in the country? Think again! City dogs can be at risk, too. Leptospirosis is caused by bacteria that can be spread through the urine of infected wildlife and rodents—including rats—and dogs can be exposed through contaminated water or soil. 🐀💧

For our Chicago pups, that makes Lepto protection especially worth talking about. The AVMA recommends Lepto vaccination for all dogs, with annual boosters after the initial series. 🩺💕

Ask us about keeping your city pup protected at their next visit!

Meet Cubby! 🐾🐱 This tiny cutie is starting life off on the right paw with an important kitten health screening: FeLV/FIV testing.

Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) are contagious viruses that can affect a cat’s immune system and overall health. Kittens can look perfectly healthy while still carrying one of these viruses, which is why screening is such an important part of their early veterinary care.

Knowing your kitten’s FeLV/FIV status helps your veterinary team make informed recommendations about vaccines, preventive care, and safely introducing them to other cats in the household. Depending on a kitten’s age, history, and potential exposure, repeat testing may sometimes be recommended.

Little kitten, big responsibility! 🩺🐾 Ask us about FeLV/FIV screening at your kitten’s next visit.

We know the “cone of shame” isn’t always a pet’s favorite accessory, but when your veterinarian prescribes one, it’s an important part of the healing process. Cones help prevent licking, chewing, and scratching at incisions, wounds, stitches, or irritated areas—giving the body the chance to heal properly and helping avoid infection or other complications.

So even when those puppy-dog eyes are very convincing (like Dublin's here)… keep the cone on for as long as your veterinary team recommends!

Dublin, you’re rocking it! 💛
