A veterinarian is just a doctor that treats furry, cute patients.
DOG
You may all know the importance of daily brushing and flossing for regular good health of your teeth and gums, but that's as humans and also thanks to dental health education being so updated today. But, did you stop to consider the fact that since science has revealed oral health benefits us by lowering our risk of cardiac problems, it could well be the same for our canine pals? Keeping this medical fact in mind, pet owners are advised to pay extra attention to cleaning their dog's teeth regularly to keep diseases such as plaque and tartar at bay; even a simple swipe across Fido's gums with a clean damp cloth should do the trick!

Grief and Guilt from the Loss of Our Beloved Pet
Our fur baby Chewy died on Saturday, August 27, 2022. He woke up struggling to breathe and gasping for air, so we had to rush him to the 24-hour emergency vet clinic. Chewy went into cardiac arrest and the vet could not save him. He died between 3:30 and 4:00 a.m. I am devastated and can’t seem to find myself.

You're never going to believe what happened to me.
Seriously, you’re not going to believe what happened to me yesterday.You know how you can feel that something bad is about to happen? Well, I had that feeling when I woke up. It was a perfectly lovely day, the sun was shining and it was nice and warm, but at the same time, a chill was running up and down my back. I couldn’t put my paw on it, but something definitely wasn’t quite right.

A Beginner's Guide to Caring for Goats
Our goats need a diet mostly composed of natural roughage, such as hay, tree bark, bushes, and other plants with woody stems. They probably won't get all the nutrients they need for optimal health from the roughage they consume. You'll probably need to add a coarse grain like goat feed, maize, or another high-quality grain product to their diet as a supplement.

8 Things Vet Staff Wish the Clients Knew
I’ve worked in the vet field for more than a couple years now. Even when I wasn’t in the vet field, I was still working with pet owners in some way, whether it was at a boarding facility, a pet store, or an animal rescue.

Advice for new pet owners
It seems apparent that your furry members of the family require the same level of precautionary attention as humans. Regular medical checks, beginning as early as one week after birth, can help keep their newborns healthy and safe, assuring every worried new parent. According to Alea Harrison, DVM, vice president of veterinary quality at Banfield Pet Hospital, if you're one among the 23 million individuals who acquired a pet during the pandemic, you might not understand that preventative treatment is just as important for furry family members as it is for human ones.
