Polydactyl cats are born with extra toes, most often on their front paws. It’s a genetic trait and is usually completely harmless, just an extra dose of cute. That said, those extra toes can come with a few care considerations. More toes means more nails to trim, and sometimes they grow at different angles or are easier to snag if not maintained. Most polydactyl cats live totally normal, healthy lives, but regular paw checks and nail trims are important to keep them comfortable.

Cats have around 230 bones, while humans have 206. 🐱🦴 Those extra bones, especially in the spine and tail, help give cats their amazing flexibility, balance, and jumping ability. It’s one of the reasons they can twist, stretch, and squeeze into spaces that seem impossibly small.

Cats are built for agility, but that doesn’t mean they’re immune to injury. If your cat is limping, reluctant to jump, or moving differently than usual, it may be time for an exam. Call (843) 970-3838 if you have questions about your cat’s mobility or wellness.

To your cat… it’s actually a compliment! Cats groom the ones they trust. It can also be a way to bond, mark you with their scent, or just show a little love (in their own… chaotic way).

If it ever becomes excessive or obsessive, it could be a sign of stress or something medical, so keep an eye on it.

Sphynx cats may be known for their unique hairless look, but there’s much more to this breed than appearance alone. 🐱 Because they lack a normal fur coat, Sphynx cats often need a little extra help with skin care, warmth, and routine hygiene. Their skin can collect oils more easily, and they may be more sensitive to sun exposure and cold temperatures than other cats.

Open play with your dog is safest when they have reliable recall, respond to basic cues, and are in a secure, enclosed area. 🐶 Before unclipping the leash, make sure your dog will come when called, can refocus on you around distractions, and is not likely to run toward people, wildlife, roads, or other dogs.

If your dog tends to ignore cues, bolt, guard toys, or become overstimulated, more training may be needed before off-leash play is a good idea. A good rule of thumb: if you’re not confident you can call your dog back right away, it’s not the right time for open play yet. Questions about safe exercise, behavior, or whether your dog is ready for more freedom? Call (843) 970-3838.

💧 Is your dog drinking enough water? A good rule of thumb: about 1 oz per pound of body weight daily. But things like heat, activity, and diet can change that! Noticing big changes in thirst? That can be a sign something’s up. Let’s check it out: (843) 970-3838

Dehydration can sneak up on pets faster than many people realize, especially during hot weather or when they’ve been vomiting or having diarrhea. ☀️🐶 Common signs to watch for include dry or sticky gums, tiredness, sunken eyes, a decreased appetite, heavy panting, and skin that doesn’t bounce back quickly when gently lifted.

If your pet seems off, isn’t drinking well, or is showing several of these signs, it’s a good idea to have them checked sooner rather than later.

Not all store-bought bones are safe for dogs. 🦴 Some are hard enough to crack teeth or cause choking, stomach upset, or blockages. When choosing a chew, look for one that matches your dog’s size and chewing style, and avoid anything too hard or easy to swallow. Not sure which chews are safest? We’re here to help, call us at (843) 970-3838 for our vets’ recommendations.
