Today's #TrainingTipTuesday is all about ensuring a smooth litter training journey for your kittens! Let's make sure those tiny paws are on the right track with some helpful tips!
1. Choose the right litter: Opt for a kitten-friendly, unscented litter. Cats can be picky! 2. Place the litter box strategically: Set it up in a quiet, easily accessible spot. Cats appreciate their privacy. 3. Show them the way: Gently place your kitten in the litter box after meals and naps. Encourage exploration! 4. Be consistent: Stick to a routine. Regular meal times often lead to regular bathroom breaks. 5. Positive reinforcement: Praise and treats go a long way! Celebrate successful litter box visits with love and rewards. 6. Number of litter boxes: Ensure you have one more litter box than the number of cats. For example, if you have two cats, provide three litter boxes. Share your kitten's litter training triumphs in the comments!
Let's celebrate those little victories together. . . . #TrainingTipTuesday #SimcoeVeterinaryHospital #KittenTraining
🦷 Before: Frankie's pearly whites were in need of some TLC, with tartar buildup and gingivitis causing discomfort and potential health issues.
🦷 After: Look at that dazzling smile! Thanks to our expert veterinary team, Frankie's dental surgery was a success, ensuring not just a pretty grin, but also a healthier and happier life!
Did you know that dental health is crucial for our furry friends? Just like us, dogs and cats can suffer from dental issues that, if left untreated, may lead to more severe problems. Regular dental care can prevent pain, infections, and even extend your pet's lifespan!
And here's a friendly reminder about the risks of anesthesia-free dentistry for pets. While it might seem like a convenient option, it fails to address underlying issues and is very unsafe and uncomfortable for pets. Anesthesia allows for a thorough examination, including radiographs so we can see what's happening below the gumline, ensuring that any teeth needing to be removed are extracted safely. At Simcoe Veterinary Hospital, we prioritize the health and happiness of your furry family members. Schedule a dental exam today and let's keep those tails wagging and whiskers smiling! . . . #PetDentalHealth #SimcoeVetCare #SimcoeVeterinaryHospital #BarrieVeterinarian #DentalGlowUp
Spaying and Neutering doesn't just benefit you but also your community!
A sterilized pet, of course, can't reproduce. Therefore, the fewer pets there are in the community, the more likely shelter pets are to be adopted. Spaying/neutering essentially reduces the pet overpopulation and reduces the number of unwanted pets that end up being euthanized.
Did you know that we carry a full line of maintenance and prescription diets? We have diets for pets with allergies, pets with urinary issues, pets who need to lose weight and much more! Not sure what diet your dog or cat should be fed? Call or email us for a recommendation! One of our Registered Veterinary Technicians would be happy to send you a diet letter with a recommendation and exact feeding amounts too.
Peace of mind starts with Wellness Plans! We have Wellness Plans available for all your pet's preventive care needs. Our Puppy and Kitten Plans even include their Spay or Neuter surgery to help with making care accessible and affordable!
