The vet took his time with the examination and answered all of my questions. He gave me a couple of options for treating my dog and kind of spoke to me as if he were treating his dog. That kind of empathy is special and I really appreciated it. Also they didn’t run up the bill with unnecessary tests.
What do your dog`s paw pads say about their health?
Healthy paw pads feel firm, a little elastic, and smooth. They may be black, pink, or a mix of both. When your dog`s paw pads look different, it`s often an early sign that something needs attention.
Here`s what to look for:
Cracked paw pads: Usually caused by dry air, dehydration, or walking on hot pavement or icy, salted sidewalks.
Red or inflamed paw pads: Often a sign of allergies, infection, or irritation from something your dog stepped on.
Crusty or thickened paw pads: Can come from normal wear. They can also point to nutrition problems or skin conditions that a vet should check.
Pink, soft, or black and elastic paw pads: Signs of healthy paws.
How often should you check your dog`s paws? Once a week is a good habit, plus after walks in extreme heat or cold. When should you come see us? Book a visit if your dog is limping, licking their paws a lot, bleeding, or has swelling or cracks that don`t heal within a few days.

How do cats show affection?
Cats show love quietly, through slow blinks, head bumps, and choosing to stay close to you.
Slow blinks: A relaxed, slow blink is a sign of trust. Try blinking slowly back to build your bond.
Head bumps: Cats have scent glands on their cheeks and heads. When your cat rubs against you, they`re marking you as family.
Staying close: Napping beside you, sitting in your lap, or following you from room to room can all be your cat saying "I love you."
