Another one of our fabulous clients with a heart of gold rescued a stray momma cat the day she delivered SIX kittens. She’s now looking for homes for them, plans on getting Momma spayed, and finding a home for her as well. We tested Momma for Leukemia and FIV and she was negative (YAY!). Kittens […]

Many older dogs that I treat develop arthritis and/or weakness in their legs, particularly their rear legs. While a young strong […]
Our new socks arrived! They are more “medical device” than fashion. Great for weak or older dogs who have trouble on slick floors. They’re thin and soft, so most dogs tolerate them well.
