Getting Your Puppy Started Off Right

Raising a puppy may take quite a bit of time and effort, but puppies also bring joy into the home. You can expect adjustments to your family’s routine.

Teaching & Training A Deaf Dog

Deaf dogs can learn the same skills as dogs with normal hearing. Deafness does not change the dog’s ability to learn, but it does change how they receive information.

Avoid These Summer Pet Toxins

Pets are inquisitive creatures who love to investigate their surroundings. Unfortunately, this trait can lead pets down the path of injury and illness.

Testing & Monitoring Diabetes In Dog

Generally, the following screening tests are performed when diabetes mellitus is suspected: a complete blood count (CBC), a serum biochemistry profile, and a urinalysis.

Taking Your Pet’s Temperature

Normal body temperature for dogs and cats is 101.0 to 102.5°F (38.3 to 39.2°C). Some pets maintain a baseline temperature a little above or below the average, but if your pet’s temperature rises above 104°F (40.0°C) or falls below 99°F (37.2°C), take your pet to your veterinarian.
