Be Proactive for Your Pet’s Joints
Joint health is a topic most pet owners don’t think about until their dog or cat has begun showing signs of pain or stiffness.
The truth is, once you start to notice signs that your pet is uncomfortable, the damage has already been done to the joint. It will take time (and a larger expense) to rebuild cartilage and try to reduce inflammation. Just like with planting a tree, the perfect time to start addressing joint health is yesterday. The second best time is today.

Enhance Your Pet’s Diet with Rotational Feeding
Varying your pet's diet - also known as “rotational feeding” - not only keeps your pet from becoming bored with his food but also may have significant health benefits. Believe it or not, many processed foods like kibble or canned foods may not actually be 100% complete and balanced - even if the packaging says it is.

Why Accurately Measuring Your Pet’s Food is Essential
/ Jenna HarrisonOne of the easiest steps we can take to better our pets’ health is to measure their food accurately. Being attentive to meal portion size is an important detail for maintaining not just our pet’s weight, but their whole body health.
Why ‘Eyeballing’ Isn’t Enough
Feeding your pet the right amount of food is crucial for their overall health and well-being. Do you feed a “handful” or a “scoop” of dry food? Do you just fill your pet’s bowl? If so, exactly how much is that “scoop” or “handful”? Is your measurement more or less than a cup?

The egg membrane is the thin layer that separates the eggshell from the egg white. It comprises two distinct layers: the outer and inner membranes. Both of these layers are edible and contain various nutrients.
4 Easy Ways to Prepare for the Most Inconvenient Events
/ Jenna HarrisonNot all pet emergencies are life-threatening. Some are simply inconveniences that always seem to happen at 5 p.m. on a Friday when your vet is going home for the weekend. When that happens, you need to be your pet’s first responder. This means having the right tools on hand to successfully deal with these “urgent care” but not “emergency care” issues.
Ward Off Ticks From the Inside Out!
/ Nicole R. CammackHere in New England, fleas and ticks are an almost unavoidable nuisance in the warmer months. However, there are many alternatives to prescription products that work incredibly well. Additionally, there are other (sometimes lesser-known) factors that make your pet a desirable host. Here are some of our best tips for preventing unwanted hitchhikers from the inside-out!
