Why does my dog nibble on me?
Short answer: it`s usually communication, not aggression. That gentle "corn cobbing" with the front teeth almost always means one of four things:
– Affection: social grooming, the same way dogs groom packmates to bond
– Play: mouthing your hand is an invitation, not a bite
– Teething: puppies under ~7 months chew to soothe sore gums
– Bite inhibition: they`re learning how much pressure is okay
When to pay closer attention: a stiff body and hard stare, a low growl or snarl, or pressure that actually hurts. Those are stress signals, not play.
The fix for nuisance nibbling is redirection — the second you feel teeth, trade your hand for a chew toy. It teaches what to do instead of just saying no.

Why do cats chirp?
Cats chirp — also called chattering or chittering — as a short, high-pitched burst of sound triggered by focused excitement, usually when they spot prey like a bird outside the window.
What cat chirping usually means:
– Excitement or frustration while watching prey they can`t reach
– A possible attempt to mimic bird calls as a hunting strategy
– Friendly greeting or attention-seeking toward you
– Play mode — many cats chirp mid-pounce at a toy
Is it normal? Yes. Chirping is a healthy part of a cat`s vocal range, and kittens do it too. But if the chirping is persistent and paired with stress signals or other behavior changes, it`s worth a vet visit.
Best way to respond: give them something to hunt — a prey-like toy, dedicated play time, and a window with a good view.

They have some sweat glands in their paw pads, but panting does the heavy lifting.

Dogs sleep a lot—but how much sleep is actually normal?
The answer depends on their age, breed, activity level, and overall health. While puppies and senior dogs often need more rest, a sudden increase in sleep or changes in your dog`s energy could be a sign that something isn`t right.
Knowing the difference between normal napping and a potential health concern can help you catch problems early and keep your pup feeling their best.
Read our latest blog to learn:
• How many hours of sleep dogs really need
• When extra sleep is completely normal
• Signs it`s time to schedule a veterinary visit

What truly stood out was the way they continued to support us afterward. When I came to pick up her remains, I unexpectedly started having car trouble. The receptionist immediately stepped in to help — she gave my kids crayons and coloring pages, brought us water, and let us sit comfortably in a room while we waited for the tow truck. They even offered to keep an eye on my vehicle while we figured everything out.
In a moment that was already emotionally overwhelming, their genuine kindness meant more than I can express. We are so grateful for the love and compassion City Vet showed our family and our beloved dog. Thank you for going above and beyond.

But what I want to highlight most is something I’ve never experienced at a veterinary practice: for nearly a week, Dr. Raskin and his staff gave me a comfortable room where I could stay with my cat all day while he received treatment. Not a fifteen-minute visit – the entire day, every day. I sat with him through IV fluids, injections, and long stretches of monitoring. That meant I could comfort him during a genuinely frightening week, and it meant I could observe him closely and catch changes as they happened. Several times, something I noticed while sitting with him became a piece of information that shaped his care. Being present made me a real participant in his treatment rather than someone receiving updates by phone.
Over the following week Dr. Raskin adjusted the plan as new information came in, and when the initial approach wasn’t producing the response he wanted, he ran new bloodwork and changed course rather than waiting it out. He was honest about uncertainty, direct about options, and never dismissive. He’s the reason my cat is recovering – and the way his practice let me be there for it is something I’ll will always be grateful for.

He was suffering from several ailments. I was able to confirm an appointment instantly. The team spent 2+ hours with my cat Banksy explaining their concerns of his condition. The compassion they showed for my cat Banksy was as if he were their animal. The cost of his visit was negligible compared to the service I received. City Vet is by far the best veterinarian office I have ever used.
They are such professionals.

Everyone we have interacted with has been incredibly friendly, compassionate, patient, and helpful. We have never had even the slightest negative experience with anyone there. You can genuinely tell that the entire staff cares about the animals they treat and about the people who love them.
Most recently, Dr. Fish removed a mass from our older dog, Manzur. Throughout the entire process, she and her team have been wonderful. When I became concerned about how his incision was healing, I sent them pictures and Dr. Fish personally reviewed them and responded quickly with a plan to make sure we stayed ahead of any potential infection. That kind of responsiveness and care gives you tremendous peace of mind when you’re worried about your pet.
What I appreciate most is that we never feel like just another appointment walking through the door. Whether we’re there with Moose or Manzur, we’re treated with kindness and respect, our concerns are taken seriously, and we always feel like our boys are in very capable hands.
Finding a veterinarian and staff that you completely trust with members of your family isn’t something we take for granted. We feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Fish and everyone at CityVet Midtown Atlanta, and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a veterinary team that genuinely cares.

Why does my dog nibble on me?
Short answer: it`s usually communication, not aggression. That gentle "corn cobbing" with the front teeth almost always means one of four things:
– Affection: social grooming, the same way dogs groom packmates to bond
– Play: mouthing your hand is an invitation, not a bite
– Teething: puppies under ~7 months chew to soothe sore gums
– Bite inhibition: they`re learning how much pressure is okay
When to pay closer attention: a stiff body and hard stare, a low growl or snarl, or pressure that actually hurts. Those are stress signals, not play.
The fix for nuisance nibbling is redirection — the second you feel teeth, trade your hand for a chew toy. It teaches what to do instead of just saying no.

Why do cats chirp?
Cats chirp — also called chattering or chittering — as a short, high-pitched burst of sound triggered by focused excitement, usually when they spot prey like a bird outside the window.
What cat chirping usually means:
– Excitement or frustration while watching prey they can`t reach
– A possible attempt to mimic bird calls as a hunting strategy
– Friendly greeting or attention-seeking toward you
– Play mode — many cats chirp mid-pounce at a toy
Is it normal? Yes. Chirping is a healthy part of a cat`s vocal range, and kittens do it too. But if the chirping is persistent and paired with stress signals or other behavior changes, it`s worth a vet visit.
Best way to respond: give them something to hunt — a prey-like toy, dedicated play time, and a window with a good view.

Dogs sleep a lot—but how much sleep is actually normal?
The answer depends on their age, breed, activity level, and overall health. While puppies and senior dogs often need more rest, a sudden increase in sleep or changes in your dog`s energy could be a sign that something isn`t right.
Knowing the difference between normal napping and a potential health concern can help you catch problems early and keep your pup feeling their best.
Read our latest blog to learn:
• How many hours of sleep dogs really need
• When extra sleep is completely normal
• Signs it`s time to schedule a veterinary visit

Did you know?!
Their true eye color doesn`t fully develop until around 6-8 weeks old, since it takes time for melanin to build up in the iris.
