Limping is a common sign of discomfort in the bones or muscles of your dog, but it can have a variety of causes. In the article below, we will discuss some of the common causes and tips for your vet visit. It's always best to have your pet examined by a veterinarian if you notice Fido limping.

Why is My Dog Limping?

There are a few reasons our feline friends make us sneeze and wheeze. They produce something called the feline d1 protein, which is in their saliva, dander, and fur. This allergen is what we're thought to be allergic to. Many of the longer, fluffier-haired breeds of cats shed more often and along with their dander.

Best Cat Breeds For People With Allergies

Many dogs howl, and some breeds howl much more often than others. You might wonder why your dog howls. What triggers the howling? Why do some dogs seem to howl for no apparent reason? Some people think howling dogs are adorable, but some owners of dogs that howl frequently can be very annoyed with this behavior. 

Dog Howling: What Does It Mean?

Purring is the most common sound cats make and what owners are used to. Yet we know less about the unique sound than meowing, hissing, and growling. Many cat owners are taught that cat purrs are to show that the cat is happy, although a cat's meow has more meanings.



Why Do Cats Purr?

Bringing home your first cat is an exciting time, and it's easy to get wrapped up in the experience. However, there are a few steps you need to take to ensure your cat has the best chance at adjusting properly to his new home.

Comprehensive surgical services, from routine procedures to complex operations, all are performed with expert care.

Pet Surgeries

When pets get sick or injured, you want answers fast. Advanced imaging gives us a deeper look, without invasive procedures. 


Advanced Diagnostic Imaging

When your pet isn't acting like itself, diagnostic testing helps us find the reason. From bloodwork, urine testing, and fecal exams to x-rays, these tests give us a window into what's happening inside, so we can take action before things get worse.

Diagnostic Testing

Bad breath isn't just annoying - it's often a sign of deeper health issues. Dental disease in pets can lead to oral pain, local or systemic infection, tooth loss, and even heart, liver, or kidney complications. 

Dental Care

Fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms are not just a nuisance, they are dangerous. These tiny pests can cause serious health issues like Lyme disease, heartworm disease, and tapeworms. 

Parasite Prevention

Your pet can't tell you when something's wrong. That's why regular wellness exams are so important. These visits give us the chance to catch health issues early, before they become painful or costly.  

Wellness Exams

Vaccines are one of the most important tools we have to protect pets from serious, often deadly diseases. Whether you have a rambunctious or a relaxed pet, vaccinations help your pet build strong immunity and avoid preventable illness.
