🐾It’s Ginger Cat Appreciation Day!🐾

What better way is there to kick off the “-ber” months than by celebrating one of our favorite flavors of feline friends!!

Orange cats are known for their loving personalities, quirky behaviors, and relaxed demeanor. Our two very own ginger cats (Ember & Jaxon) keep us entertained in so many ways, and our clinic wouldn’t be complete without them!!

Give your orangies some extra pets and snuggles from us today ❤️🐈

“But why do I need this diagnostic test for my pet?” 🤔

Because some, if not most ailments, have a lot of the same symptoms!! Below are some examples of VERY different illnesses that have identical symptoms. Some are acute and treatable, some have to be managed through lifelong medication, and some can be life threatening.

Allergies or heart disease: coughing & congestion
Parasitic infection or Parvo: diarrhea & vomiting
UTI or Chronic Kidney Disease: inappropriate urination & lethargy
Upper respiratory infection or Blastomycoses infection: Lethargy, fever, chest congestion

See why we encourage diagnostic testing? It is the best thing for your pet in order for us to determine what exactly is wrong and how to treat the illness. Shout out to IDEXX labs for their amazing technology that allows us rapid, accurate results for SO many different diagnostic tests!!

Today is Black Cat Appreciation Day!

While they are linked to an ominous history, black cats are some of the most lovable little creatures!

Take Ziggy for example: You have no choice but to love him when you come to the clinic, seeing as how everything is his business!! (If you know, you know).

Show us your precious black kitties in the comments and tell us why you love them so much!! ❤️🐾🐈‍⬛
