Get those winter woolies out, the cold has definitely set in!
Our pets, especially our senior citizens, can start to struggle as the temperature starts to drop.
🌀 Some warning signs you might notice:
- Struggling to get up, especially in the mornings or after a nap
- Not as willing to play/run around as much
- Whimpering or pain when certain areas are touched
- Limping or wobbliness (** If this is sudden please call us immediately **)
- Licking at, or paying more attention to a certain limb
🐶 Did you know we offer a wide range of preventative AND treatment options for arthritis and joint pain?? 🐱
What we might be able to do to help:

Our K-Laser is a non-invasive healing laser that can be used on just about any pain condition to provide pain relief and speed up healing.
