The time has come for us to take down the 2016 calendar and affix a new one to the wall. Many do this with optimistic relish, others see it as a moment that deserves a quiet moment of reflection.

We do this in a variety of ways, but our staff at The Whole Pet Vet Hospital and Wellness Center enjoys looking back at our pet care blogs of 2016. From dental care to acupuncture, exercise to parasite prevention, senior pet health to behavioral concerns of young pets, we value what makes our growing community of readers more successful pet owners. From there, the sky’s the limit!

You aren’t the only one who needs to be watching your waistline, though. We know now more than ever that pets who are overweight suffer from health problems and decreased lifespan, just as we do.

  5. Soothing Sounds: Pet Music Therapy Has Calming Benefits For many years, we have been fascinated by the impact music can have on memory, emotional state, and even healing from physical injuries and illnesses. Amazingly, the more we learn about music therapy and its benefits to humankind, the more we find that this same knowledge can be applied to our four-legged friends. Read More…
