When we think of spring time we think of flowers, rain, warm weather, and puppies and kitties! Our team loves spring time for just this reason because baby pets start to make their way through the clinic doors. Although cute, fur babies are a lot of work and we compiled a list for things to consider to be better prepared for the new addition! 1.)

Why your Vet Recommends a Urinalysis
Pets cannot tell us when something doesn’t feel right. This is why your Veterinarian may recommend a urinalysis (along with bloodwork, x-rays, etc.) These tests tell your Veterinarian the story of how your pet is doing on the inside.

When your cat does not want your affection, they have no problem showing you they want none of it (through their claws and teeth!).
