Four Paws Animal Hospital is proud to be among the 12-15% of all practices in the United States that has earned the "AAHA-accredited" designation. The American Animal Hospital Association ("AAHA") strictly evaluates practices on over 900 standards of care to make sure accredited practices are at the forefront of the profession in providing the highest quality of medical care for your pet.
After initial accreditation, practices are routinely reevaluated to make sure they maintain the stringent quality standards as the practice of veterinary medicine continues to evolve. Dental disease is the number one health issue diagnosed in dogs and cats. Bad breath and tartar are very serious signs and can lead to periodontal disease. If dental disease is left untreated, it can cause infections in the mouth, blood, and even internal organs such as the heart and liver.
A lot of things may cause dogs and cats to be itchy. Sometimes it is obvious when dogs and cats are itchy, especially when they scratch a lot.

For any pet, you need to pet-proof your home.
Some of the top things to think about are: 1) making sure all cleaners, chemicals, medications are locked up; 2) keeping trash cans covered; 3) blocking off any small nooks animals can hide in; 4) keeping any food out of reach; and 5) making sure all cords, electrical or otherwise are out of reach and wall sockets covered.
Your dog is going to need a place to run around whether that be your back yard (and make sure it is fenced in with no holes), dog parks, or just taking nice long walks.

Being knowledgeable about the most common toxins, including foods, that may harm your dog or cat can make the difference between life and death for your pet.
The most important thing to remember is that if you believe your pet has ingested or come into contact with any poisonous substance, call your veterinarian immediately.
When you call your veterinarian, be sure to have on hand information from containers or labels, or even a photograph of the suspected substance.
The more information you can provide about the exposure - time elapsed, how much was ingested, size of pet, etc. - the better.

Choosing safe toys for your pet may be a daunting task, especially if you have recently gotten a new dog or cat.
Toys are an important part of our pets' lives.
Toys provide environmental enrichment, helping pets fight boredom on a daily basis.
However, many toys also pose a safety risk for our pets.
Although no toy is guaranteed to be safe, there are several factors that may be assessed prior to giving toys to pets.
Size is an important factor when choosing a toy for your pet.
A toy that is too small or a toy that has many small parts may be a choking hazard for your pet.
