Frequently Asked Questions

The most common pet parent questions we receive answered here.  

How often should I take my pet to the vet?

It’s recommended that pets have a check-up at least once a year. Puppies, kittens, senior pets, or those with health conditions may need more frequent visits. Regular check-ups help catch potential health issues early and ensure vaccinations are up to date.

How much exercise does my pet need?

Exercise needs vary by species, breed, and age. Dogs typically need at least 30 minutes to two hours of activity daily, while cats benefit from interactive play sessions. Regular exercise helps maintain a healthy weight and prevents behavioral issues.

What’s the best food for my pet?

The best food depends on your pet’s age, breed, and health needs. A balanced diet includes high-quality protein, essential vitamins, and proper hydration. Always consult your local pet nutritionist to determine the right type and amount of food for your pet’s specific needs.

How do I help my pet adjust to a new home?

Give your pet time to explore and get comfortable in their new environment. Set up a designated space with food, water, and bedding. Stick to a routine for feeding and walks, and provide positive reinforcement to help them feel safe and secure.
