We were informed by the breeder that we should let her have her first heat and allow her body and bones to mature before spaying her, suggesting waiting until she is about a year old.

When will the teething stop? She has lost two puppy fangs already. Neighbors ask if she has had all her shots yet. Do we need to wait before she plays with other dogs?

Our young cat ended up playing with the flowers and pollen, ingesting a small amount. By that evening he was vomiting and very lethargic.

My cats seem to have started itching themselves. Can they catch scabies from me?

I did not want her to catch Lyme Disease even though she is vaccinated for it. What else can she catch from ticks?

Our four-month-old Cockapoo puppy is the love of our life. Ever since we got her when she was nine weeks old, she has had these very droopy lower eyelids.

We would like to be good and respectful neighbors in the city so I am writing to ask if you might have any recommendations for dogs that do not bark or that bark minimally.

Don’t most dogs take NSAIDs for joint and arthritic pain? Is laser therapy new or better than conventional treatments?

Her potassium is now normal, but her phosphorous is too high. Now my vet also suggests a phosphorous binder. Does this all make sense?

Her presentation was for lethargy and lack of appetite. The emergency center thought she looked a little yellow in the whites of her eyes and her liver values were very high.
