Happy Global Cat Day to every cat and the people who serve them.

Cats are famously good at acting like nothing is wrong, even when something is. That quiet toughness is exactly why regular checkups matter so much for them, indoor cats included.

If it has been a while since your cat's last visit, call us at (412) 372-1100!

Today is Pet Obesity Awareness Day, and it is a good reminder that those extra treats add up.

Carrying extra weight makes everyday movement harder on your pet and can affect their comfort and energy over time. The encouraging part is that small changes to food, portions, and activity really do make a difference.

Not sure where your pet stands? Call us to schedule a weight check and a nutritional consultation!

Costume planning season is officially here.

If your pet is dressing up, keep it comfortable and safe: nothing that limits movement, vision, or breathing, no small pieces they could chew off, and always supervise while it is on.

If your pet would rather skip the outfit, a festive bandana still earns full marks.

So tell us, what is your pet going as this year? We want to hear it in the comments.

Here is a quick one you can do at home... Gently lift your pet's lip and take a look!

Red gums, discolored teeth or breath you can smell from across the couch are all worth a call to your veterinarian. Dental issues are common and they are a lot easier to manage when caught early.

Ask us about a dental check. Call us at (412) 372-1100 today!

As the mornings get cooler, you might notice your older pet moving a little slower.

Stiffness after a nap, hesitation at the stairs, or less interest in a favorite game are all symptoms you should contact your veterinarian to discuss.

It is easy to write these off as just getting older, but there is often a lot we can do to help them feel better.

If your senior seems off lately, give us a call at (412) 372-1100!

October is Adopt A Shelter Dog Month.

If your family has been talking about getting a dog, this is a good month to visit your local shelter. Shelter dogs come in every age and personality, and the staff can help you find one that fits your household and your routine.

Bringing home a new pup? We would love to meet them. Book their first visit today!

Fall is here, and it's the perfect time for a fresh start. With summer behind us and the holidays ahead, now is a great window to get your pet caught up: wellness exam, prevention refills, dental check, and any lingering issues from the summer. Start the season right.

Today is World Rabies Day. Rabies is nearly always fatal but almost entirely preventable. Keeping your pet's rabies vaccine current protects them, your family, and your community, and it's required by law in most areas. Not sure if your pet is due? We can check your records.
Call (412) 372-1100 or book online at https://us.vetstoria.com/booking/667dcf9ce8200/?r=6 to schedule.
