Homemade doesn't automatically mean healthy. 🐶🥕🍚

More and more dog owners are turning to homemade diets, but feeding chicken, rice, and a few vegetables isn't enough to meet a dog's complex nutritional needs. Unfortunately, improperly balanced homemade diets can lead to serious (and completely preventable) health problems.

Over time, nutritional deficiencies can contribute to issues like poor growth, skeletal abnormalities, calcium deficiencies, skin and coat problems, heart disease, kidney disease, and even malnutrition. These problems may not show up overnight, but they can have lifelong consequences.

If you're interested in feeding a homemade diet, it's essential to work with a veterinary nutritionist. Dogs require precise amounts of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, and many homemade diets need supplements added to become truly complete and balanced.

For pet owners who prefer a commercial diet, we recommend choosing foods from companies that follow WSAVA (World Small Animal Veterinary Association) nutritional guidelines. These companies invest in research, employ qualified veterinary nutritionists, conduct feeding trials, and have rigorous quality control standards in place to help ensure their diets are complete, balanced, and backed by science.

Nutrition is one of the most important investments you can make in your dog's health. Whether you're feeding a homemade or commercial diet, make sure it's providing the nutrients your dog needs to thrive. 💙🐶

Wait... you can teach a cat to go to their bed on cue? 🐱✨

Yep! Cats can learn "place" just like dogs can. With the right training, your cat can learn to go to a designated bed, mat, or perch and even stay there when asked.

Not only is this a fun trick, but it can also be incredibly useful for everyday life, like keeping your cat off the kitchen counters, dining table, or out from under your feet while you're cooking. Instead of telling them where not to be, you can teach them where to be. 🐾

Our registered veterinary nurse and resident cat enthusiast, Kristin, has been diving into the world of cat training and taking us along for the ride! Together, she and her cat Texas Toast are proving that cats are capable of learning a lot more than we give them credit for!

Friendly reminder: your pet's food and water bowls need a daily wash 🧼🐾

Water bowls can quickly collect bacteria, slime, hair, dirt, and other debris throughout the day. And when it comes to food bowls... would you eat off the same plate for several days without washing it? We sure hope not 😅

Keeping bowls clean is a simple step that can help support your pet's overall health and hygiene. So the next time you're washing your dishes, don't forget your pet's dishes too! 🐶🐱💙

You’ve heard the saying: curiosity killed the cat 🐱👀

While curiosity is one of the things we love most about our cats, it can also get them into trouble. Electrical cords, plastic bags, window blind cords, houseplants, and other everyday household items can pose serious risks to our feline explorers.

A little cat-proofing can go a long way. Taking a few minutes to identify and remove potential hazards helps keep your curious kitty safe while they explore the world around them 🐾

Is your dog a genius... or should they be signing up for summer school? 🎓🐶😅

When we think of a "smart" dog, we often picture one that learns tricks quickly. But intelligence comes in many forms! A Border Collie expertly managing livestock, a Bloodhound following a scent trail, or a Pointer locking onto a bird are all examples of dogs using the skills they were bred for.

The truth is, every dog is smart in their own way 🐾💛 Different breeds have different talents, instincts, and strengths. So before you call your dog a knucklehead, remember—they might just be excelling in a subject you haven't tested yet 😉

In this video, we're taking a closer look at bulldog breeds to help you decide: Is a bulldog the right dog for you? 💛🐶
