The Town & Country Vet Clinic Blog
Pet owners are always being told to have their pets vaccinated for rabies. However, you seldom here of domesticated animals contracting this deadly virus. Rabies is a virus spread from animals to other animals by bite wounds, and, unfortunately, it is almost always fatal. Thankfully, it is very easy to prevent this deadly infection by immunizations in the form of vaccines.
Poet Jean Burden once said that a cat “is still only a whisker away from the wilds” and for many cat enthusiasts, this is the exact reason they love their self-sufficient felines.
Experts believe that cats and humans have interacted with each other for more than 10,000 years. From their humble beginnings chasing rodents away from our food, cats have vaulted into our homes and hearts as North America’s favorite pet. Unfortunately, despite their popularity, cats aren’t treated to the same veterinary care that we provide our canine friends.

It's been said that "eyes are the windows to the soul" and certainly when you look into the eyes of your beloved pets, you can see the affection and loyalty reflected there. Unfortunately, some owners look deep into their pet's eyes and see problems. As part of a pet's regular check up, I routinely will spend time peering into the depths of the animal's eyes.

I have had so many owners call the clinic either trying to give away their pet or looking for training tips because their best friend is tearing their home apart in their absence. I always suggest crate training because it’s the easiest way, not only to housetrain your friend, but also to keep them safe when you are not home.
Having Fun with your Dog Outdoors
Ah, the wonder and beauty of going outside in the sunshine to get fresh air and have some fun with your dog. There are plenty of things you can do outdoors that can provide both exercise and mental stimulation for both of you. Plus, activities outdoors also helps to use up some excess energy, and have some bonding time with you and your dog.
I am sometimes blown away by how caring and compassionate the vets are at our clinic. Not long ago a very sweet puppy named Otis was taken into the Homeless Pets Foundation; he has the prettiest blue eyes and is always happy to see you, he also has bone cancer. When he came to the clinic,his left back leg was severely swollen just below his knee, causing him severe pain.
