❤️ IMPORTANT: YOUR DOG’S FOOD AND HEART HEALTH 🐾

Did you know that certain dog foods have been associated with a serious heart condition called dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)?

DCM weakens the heart muscle and can lead to heart failure or even sudden death.

⚠️ What should pet parents know?

Some grain-free diets rely heavily on ingredients such as:

Peas and pea protein
Lentils
Chickpeas and other legumes
These ingredients have been linked to reports of diet-associated heart disease in dogs. Researchers are still investigating the exact cause, but this is a concern every dog owner should know about.

✅ What do we recommend?

Choose a quality, nutritionally complete grain-inclusive dog food.
Check your dog’s ingredient list for foods that rely heavily on peas, pea protein, or lentils.
Talk with your veterinarian before changing your dog’s diet, especially if they have a medical condition or food allergy.
Not every grain-free diet causes heart disease, but we believe prevention and informed choices are important when it comes to your pet’s health.

Unsure whether your dog’s food is a good choice? Contact our team! We would be happy to help you review the ingredients and discuss safer nutritional options.

Your dog depends on you to help keep their heart healthy. ❤️

Dot has something to say about Rabies!

The Rabies vaccine isn't just another item on your pet's vaccine checklist...it's an essential part of responsible pet ownership 🐾

Rabies is a serious disease that can affect our pets and families. It is caused by a virus that attacks the nervous system and is almost always fatal once clinical signs appear 💔

Rabies vaccines help protect your pet from this deadly disease and provide an important layer of protection for the people and animals around them. Vaccination also helps prevent a potential exposure from becoming a much bigger public health concern.

Are your pets up to date on their Rabies vaccine? Call the office at 301-854-3372 to schedule your vaccine appointment, and Dot will pick you out a nice shiny tag ✨😄

Daisy & Dot 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Daisy & Dot are the very best of friends and spend all day playing and snoozing together.

As much as we adore them, what we would love even more is to see them find a family of their own with a couch to curl up on , a warm bed to snuggle in, and someone to share their purrs with.

You can see here in the pictures and videos that Daisy & Dot have become quite bonded with each other, so we would love it if they could stay together. Daisy isn't too fond of dogs, so it would probably be a good idea if there were no dogs in the house, or know ahead of time that a slow introduction would be best.

Please contact us if you or someone you know might be interested!
