Did you know?!
Their eyes are built for spotting movement at a distance, leaving a blind spot at chin level — which is why a cat will paw around for a treat sitting directly in front of it.

Vaccine boosters are very important! 💉

Puppies and kittens start vaccines at 8 weeks of age and get vaccine boosters up until 16 weeks of age.

For our patients one year and older if a vaccine is started, or if a vaccine exceeds 6 months past due, it will need a booster. This does not include rabies as it’s automatically a one year.

Core vaccines include:
Rabies
Distemper Parvo (DA2PP)
Leptospirosis
Bordetella

If you have any questions regarding your babies vaccination status feel free to contact us to schedule an annual or mid-annual appointment!

Why does my dog nibble on me?

Short answer: it's usually communication, not aggression. That gentle "corn cobbing" with the front teeth almost always means one of four things:

- Affection: social grooming, the same way dogs groom packmates to bond
- Play: mouthing your hand is an invitation, not a bite
- Teething: puppies under ~7 months chew to soothe sore gums
- Bite inhibition: they're learning how much pressure is okay

When to pay closer attention: a stiff body and hard stare, a low growl or snarl, or pressure that actually hurts. Those are stress signals, not play.

The fix for nuisance nibbling is redirection — the second you feel teeth, trade your hand for a chew toy. It teaches what to do instead of just saying no.

Why do cats chirp?

Cats chirp — also called chattering or chittering — as a short, high-pitched burst of sound triggered by focused excitement, usually when they spot prey like a bird outside the window.

What cat chirping usually means:
- Excitement or frustration while watching prey they can't reach
- A possible attempt to mimic bird calls as a hunting strategy
- Friendly greeting or attention-seeking toward you
- Play mode — many cats chirp mid-pounce at a toy

Is it normal? Yes. Chirping is a healthy part of a cat's vocal range, and kittens do it too. But if the chirping is persistent and paired with stress signals or other behavior changes, it's worth a vet visit.

Best way to respond: give them something to hunt — a prey-like toy, dedicated play time, and a window with a good view.
