Dogs need exercise to burn calories, stimulate their minds, and stay healthy. Individual exercise needs vary based on breed or breed mix, sex, age and level of health. Exercise also tends to help dogs avoid boredom, which can lead to destructive behaviors. Supervised fun and games will satisfy many of your pet's instinctual urges to dig, herd, chew, retrieve and chase.

FUN FACT: All dogs can be traced back 40 million years ago to a weasel-like animal called the Miacis which dwelled in trees and dens.

Bunting is when your cat rubs their cheeks on you or an object, head-butts you with their forehead, or rubs their head on you. It's a way for your cat to leave his scent on you, marking their territory. Cats do this when they love something or someone. They may practice bunting on other pets or their favorite humans.

Once familiar with each others’ presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose-to-nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the couch.

Get a good litter box and quality cat litter. An enclosed litter box can allow you and your cat more privacy, and clumping litter is easier to maintain. Keep the box clean, for the comfort of your cat and your nose. Also, make sure you buy well-balanced, age-appropriate food for your cat. Ask your vet, the representatives at your local pet store.⠀ ⠀ Set up an appointment today with our Veterinarians today! https://buff.ly/2IyYdjK

Before you bring your cat home, take it for a checkup and immunizations. Also, schedule it in to be neutered as soon as age permits. This can mean the difference between a healthy and happy cat, and a miserable cat trying to claw its way through the windows or spraying your furniture. ⠀ ⠀ Set up an appointment today with our Veterinarians today! https://buff.ly/2IyYdjK

Cats are indeed independent by nature, but they're not quite able to take care of themselves. Before you adopt, make sure that your lifestyle can make room for a feline. How busy you are and the amount of time you spend at home will dictate the kind of cat you should get -- very busy people may find it difficult to find the time for a cat that needs a lot of grooming and attention, especially the highly intelligent and active cats. But, there are cats that are ideal for the working lifestyle. Do your research. ⠀ ⠀ Set up an appointment today with our Veterinarians today and let us help you find the best kind of cat for you! https://buff.ly/2IyYdjK

Prepare your home for your new puppy. Just like one would baby-proof their home for a new child, so should you for your new puppy. Why? You would not believe just how much your puppy can get into. Also, it's important to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your puppy. Start by removing poisonous plants and toxins, purchasing electrical cord protectors from your local hardware store, and removing anything that he could potentially chew. Make sure that you have plenty of safe chew toys for your puppy so he doesn't destroy things he shouldn't (like your shoes)! ⠀ ⠀ Set up an appointment today with our Veterinarians today! https://buff.ly/2IyYdjK

A common problem among dogs and cats, dental disease and oral health issues can cause your pet pain, making it difficult for him or her to eat. If left untreated, oral health issues may even lead to heart and kidney disease. In addition to regular dental checkups, the most effective means of caring for your pet’s mouth at home is to brush his or her teeth at home. If your pet isn’t a big fan of toothbrushes there are other alternatives as well, including dental diets, treats, and toys. Ask your veterinarian for some recommendations. ⠀ ⠀ Set up an appointment today with our Veterinarians today! https://buff.ly/2IyYdjK
