Could be something simple like eating too fast or getting into something they shouldn’t, but it can also be illness. If it happens once and they’re acting normal, we usually monitor. If it continues or they seem off, have them come in.

Twice a year is ideal for most pets. Puppies, kittens, and seniors may need to come in more often. Even if they seem healthy, we catch a lot on routine exams.

They’re usually subtle. Limping, slowing down, hiding, not eating, or just acting off. If an owner notices a change, it’s worth checking out.

Big ones: chocolate, grapes/raisins, onions/garlic, and xylitol. We usually tell people—when in doubt, don’t share.

Consistent prevention is key. Our products tend to work better than OTC. If there’s an active issue, we may need to treat the home too.

Allergies are really common. Fleas are the #1 cause, even if they don’t see them. Could also be environmental or food-related.

Usually boredom, anxiety, or attention-seeking. More exercise, enrichment, and training can help a lot.

You don’t stop it—you redirect it. Scratching posts in the right spots and rewarding good behavior make a big difference.

Behavior changes can be medical. Pain, illness, or stress. If it’s sudden, we’d rather see them and rule things out.

Feed a balanced diet based on their size, age, and lifestyle. Bag guidelines are a starting point—we can help fine-tune it.

Pretty common and usually normal. As long as they’re not vomiting a lot or acting sick, we don’t worry too much about it.
