We generally recommend waiting until your animal is 6 months of age.  We also try to spay animals before they have their 3er heat cycle because doing so greatly reduces their risk of developing mammary tumors.

Bad breath, inflamed gums, plaque and tartar buildup, and loose teeth are all of great concern when it comes to the health of your animal’s mouth.  If you notice any of these signs, please bring your pet in for a dental checkup.  If your pet’s teeth are not in need of a cleaning at the time of the checkup, we can give you recommendations to help maintain your pet’s overall mouth health such as helpful treats/toys, teeth brushing, and other pet safe dental products.

Dogs and cats should be vaccinated annually, during a visit with a thorough physical exam to ensure they are adequately protected against the more common canine/feline pathogens. By law cats and dogs  must be vaccinated against Rabies starting at 3 months of age then annually.

There could be several reasons that your pet is scooting on the ground.  Your pet may need its anal gland expressed, need to be dewormed, or have other more serious issues.  Please call us the clinic to make an appointment.

Please call us if you have any questions about your pet having puppies or kittens because cases vary from animal to animal depending on age, size, and the breed of the animal.

This is a very common question asked at the practice and many dog owners do feed bones in the hope that it will improve dental health. Whilst it is true that dogs chewing at raw bones has some abrasive action on the teeth and can remove some tartar, we regularly see dogs fed bones who have just as bad dental health as dogs on commercial diets.

The only reliable way of keeping teeth and gums healthy is to brush them at least once daily with a soft bristle toothbrush and pet toothpaste. Bones pose additional risks in the form of infection risk such as Salmonella, sharp bone fragments injuring the bowel, constipation and tooth fracture as the bones are harder than the dog’s teeth. Overall we feel that the risk far outweighs any benefit. So we don’t recommend feed bones to your dog.
