Bumpy Trouble: Spotting Folliculitis in Cats and Dogs

January 19, 2026

What is Folliculitis? Folliculitis is a condition in pets characterized by the inflammation of one or more hair follicles. Bacterial folliculitis is the most common form, representing a primary skin infection in dogs and a prevalent problem in cats. The onset of folliculitis typically happens when normal skin bacteria, frequently strains of Staphylococcus, breach the defenses of compromised hair follicles.

January 11, 2026

Picture this: you’re cuddling with your beloved pet, and then you notice something isn’t quite right. Their ears seem unusually sensitive, and they’ve started scratching and shaking their head incessantly. It’s as if unseen, tiny tormentors are causing great distress in their delicate ear canals. These relentless invaders are actually microscopic arachnids, commonly known as ear mites, or Otodectes cynotis, and they can cause a world of discomfort for our furry friends. These tiny creatures are surprisingly common and highly contagious, leading to intense itching and, potentially, secondary infections. This is especially prevalent in younger animals or those coming from shelter environments, where close contact and shared spaces can facilitate…

Our pets diets can complicate their health just like what we eat affects our health as well. The more sugars, salt, and processed foods we eat will reflect on our Heart, Cholesterol, and Diabetes. I put together today this image that goes over diabetic shocks in dogs and what blood glucose values we like to stay within. If your pooch was recently diagnosed, keep this on hand for a while until you have it in your head what to look for.

November 7, 2022

As a pet owner myself, I will admit it can be very difficult at times figuring out what is exactly in the food I’m buying.

The Summer brings so many outdoor activities, places to travel to, and often – HOT temperatures! Lets take some time to go over some tips on heat exhaustion/Stroke and hot cars to help prevent our kritters from feeling crummy or dangerously ill.
