All About Kitty & Pooch

Pawlease stop scratching! 🐾
If your dog or cat can’t stop licking, chewing, or overgrooming — it’s not just a "bad habit".

❗️ Sometimes it’s fleas (yes, even if you can’t see them!)
🍗 Sometimes it’s food
🌿 Sometimes it’s something in the air
(Or even behavioural reasons! - but more on that in another post)

The tricky part? They can look 👀 the same on the outside!

This post walks you through what itching looks like and the main reasons behind the itch - and in the following posts, we’ll sniff 🐽 out the details on food allergies and environmental allergies (aka atopy).

Every pet deserves to feel comfy in their own skin 💕

Is your senior pet slowing down?
They might be showing early signs of arthritis — a common cause of stiffness and joint pain in older dogs and cats.

The good news? Arthritis is very manageable with the right care!
A multimodal plan can include:
💊 Pain relief meds (please discuss with your vet)
💉 Arthritis injections
🩷 Joint supplements
⚖️ Weight management
🩺 Acupuncture, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy
🥣 Prescription mobility diets

Every pet’s needs are different — talk to your vet to build a tailored arthritis care plan. ❤️
