Long weekend plans? Keep your pets in mind.

Whether you are traveling or hosting, a few reminders for the holiday:

- Cookout foods like bones, onions, and xylitol are dangerous.
- Make sure prevention is current before travel.
- Update ID tags and microchip information.
- Give anxious pets a quiet space away from guests.

Have a safe and happy Labor Day!

September is National Pet Wellness Month.

Annual exams are the single best thing you can do for your pet's long-term health. They let us catch small problems before they become big ones, often before you would notice anything is wrong.

Wellness is always cheaper, and easier, than treatment.

When was your pet's last checkup? Call us at (919) 375-4180 to schedule today!

Summer is winding down. Is your pet due for a checkup?

After a season of hikes, lake days, and backyard time, a wellness visit is a good reset. We will check prevention, look over any skin or ear issues from the summer, and make sure nothing was missed.

Happy National Dog Day!
To the ones who lose their minds when you get home from a four minute trip to the mailbox. To the ones who take up the whole bed. To the ones who somehow always know when you have had a hard day.
Today is for them. Show us your dog!

The house just got a lot quieter.
When school starts back up, pets who had company all summer suddenly do not. Some handle it fine. Others show it:
• Pacing or restlessness
• Destructive chewing
• Accidents in the house
• Excessive barking or vocalizing

Ease the transition with short practice absences and a good puzzle toy. If anxiety is severe, we can help.

Tomorrow is National Bring Your Cat to the Vet Day and cats need the reminder more than anyone.

Cats are seen by a veterinarian far less often than dogs, and they're experts at hiding illness until it's advanced.

Early Disease Detection Bloodwork can catch kidney disease, thyroid issues, and more, even in cats that seem perfectly healthy.

Call us at (919) 375-4180 to schedule an appointment today!

Head shaking. Ear scratching. That smell you cannot quite place.

Ear infections are one of the most common signs of allergies in pets and they rarely clear up on their own. If left untreated, they can get painful fast.

If your pet is bothering their ears, let us take a look before it gets worse. Call us at (919) 375-4180 to schedule an appointment!

Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day!

Black cats wait longer in shelters than any other cat and for no good reason at all. They are just as sweet, just as goofy, and just as ready to love you back.

If you share your home with a black cat, show them off below.
