🐾 Did you ever noticed… after doing something wrong, your dog suddenly avoids eye contact? 👀🐶

That guilty face… the side look… the “It wasn’t me” energy. 😅

But here’s the truth, they’re not actually feeling embarrassed like we do. 💛

Those looks are usually your dog trying to ease tension or say,
“Hey… I don’t want trouble!” 🫶

It’s less about guilt… and more about communication. 🐾✨

Funny, right? The more we watch them, the more we realize they’re speaking their own language. 🐶💬

🐾 Why spay and neuter your pet?

Spaying and neutering can help protect your pet from certain health issues,
including infections and some types of cancers. 🐶🐱

It may also help them feel calmer
and more comfortable in their everyday life. 💛

Fewer unplanned litters means fewer animals without homes. 🫶

It’s a gentle step you take out of love…
to give them a healthier, safer life. 🐾✨

🇺🇸 In observance of Memorial Day, COTA Veterinary will be closed on Monday as we take time to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

If your pet experiences a medical emergency while we are closed, please contact Virginia Veterinary Centers at (804) 353-9000.

We hope everyone has a safe and meaningful Memorial Day with family, friends, and furry loved ones. ❤️🐾

🐾 Living with a pet means:

You sit down → they need attention
You lie down → they decide it’s playtime
You eat → they appear out of nowhere 👀

Personal space? Never heard of it. 😅

But the second they sit quietly next to you…
everything just feels right. 💖

Chaos all day…
love all the time! 🐶🐱

It is not their favorite day, but vaccinations are one of the most important things you can do for them. 🐶🐱

A quick visit now can protect them from serious diseases later. 💛

They may not understand it…
but it’s part of keeping them safe. 🫶

📩 Book an appointment and keep your pet’s vaccinations up to date! 🐾✨

🐾 Is your cat peeing outside the litter box?

We know how stressful and confusing this can feel. 😿

But, in most cases, it’s not bad behavior… it’s your cat’s way of asking for help.

What many pet parents don’t realize is that this usually comes down to two main reasons:
• Urination (medical or environmental)
• Spraying (behavioral or emotional)

Understanding the difference can make all the difference. 🐱✨

Your cat isn’t trying to make things difficult…
they’re trying to tell you something. 🫶

If you’re going through this, you don’t have to figure it out alone. 🤍
📩 Book an appointment with us, and we’ll help you understand what your cat needs!

🦠 No signs, no warning.

Fleas, ticks, and worms can stay hidden longer than you think. 👀

Quietly causing discomfort your pet can’t explain. 🐶🐱

Everything may look normal…
but then you notice something feels a little off.

A small change. A different behavior. 🫶

That’s how it often starts. 💛

Better early than late.

📩 Book an appointment with us — we’ll help you make sure everything’s truly okay! 🐾✨
