Did you know we offer Laser Therapy services?
Laser therapy is effective in the treatment of skin conditions, mouth and ear infections, arthritis, soft tissue injury, post-surgical pain, and various other conditions. Treatment is totally safe, painless, and requires no anesthesia. It works by stimulating the production of cellular energy in impaired cells and enhances the permeability of the cell membrane. Simply, this promotes faster and higher-quality healing, increases nutrient and waste exchange across cell membranes, and enhances the elasticity of damaged tissues.
To learn more about Laser Therapy, when Laser Therapy is available or how to schedule, give us a call at 727-391-9784.

Why Do Cats Knock Things Over?
We get it, some cats show their affection differently from their canine counterparts, which is disappointing for some people who were hoping for a cuddly, affectionate kitty.
Although some cats are quite affectionate and will happily cuddle up in a warm lap, others are resistant to being petted, picked up or cuddled.
Here are some ideas for bonding and achieving feline nirvana with your cat.

Emergencies come in many forms: fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, violent storms and even terrorism. In the event of extreme weather or a disaster, would you know what to do to protect your pet? Leaving pets out of evacuation plans can put pets, pet owners, and first responders in danger. Even if you try to create a safe place for them, pets left behind during a disaster are likely to be injured, lost, or worse. Be prepared: make a plan and prepare a disaster kit for your pet.

Amid rushed evacuations, strong winds, and approaching floodwaters of a disaster, chaos often ensues, forcing families to make impossible decisions about the animals that are part of their families.
These situations may not always be preventable but having a plan in place can give your pets their best chance of staying safe during and after a hurricane. Keep that plan, and the tools needed to implement it, within an emergency kit tailored specifically to your pet.
