Pet Nutrition

We have been receiving inquiries to various reports on pet food recently, due to new updates provided by the FDA relating to their ongoing investigation into pet foods and heart disease. We have found the information on the FDA website is a good resource in answering concerns pet owners have on this topic. We have provided a link to their helpful Q&A section.

Q&A Section Here

The doctors here recommend diets that they know have been researched by veterinarians, which include Royal Canin, Hill’s Science Diet/Prescription diets, Purina and Iam’s/Eukanuba.

Skunk Wash Remedy

1 quart Hydrogen Peroxide
1/4 cup Baking Soda
1 tsp of liquid DAWN dish soap

Wash into your pet’s fur for about 5-8 minutes. Do not leave on longer than 5-8 minutes as it can change the color of the animal’s fur. You may have to repeat wash 2-3 times over a few days to eliminate the odor.
