There are many reasons why your dog’s eyes may develop a condition in which they appear light- to bright red. This color change can be caused by an injury, illness, or even possibly a disease. It’s important to pay attention to changes in your pet’s body so that you can report to your veterinarian any […]
Do you think your dog’s feet smell funny? Find out if your furry friend has Frito feet! It started with the whispering. I knew something was about to happen, but I didn’t know what. I was just minding my business, cuddling with my parents on the couch. My head rested on my dad’s lap, and my […]
Since your pet can’t tell you if he’s feeling sick or describe symptoms to you, it’s up to you to monitor your dog’s habits and keep note of any changes in his behaviour or attitude. Often, some common dog illness symptoms get overlooked by pet owners or dismissed as signs of old age, so it’s […]
Ever see a dog with sweaty armpits? Not likely. But do dogs sweat? The answer is yes – I can vouch for it! However, we can cool off in different ways than humans do. When a man is too hot, his body regulates its temperature by releasing sweat from glands all over the body, especially […]
Napa is very lucky to have a great dog doctor in case he gets sick or needs a check-up. If you are currently looking for a veterinarian for your pets, consider the location, cost, personality, treatment beliefs, and emergency options.

You already know that dogs die in hot cars, but have you thought about how quickly it can happen? Thanks to Veterinarian Dr. Ernie Ward, dog owners can finally see what it’s like for dogs to sit in the car on a summer day, even with the windows open! He recently made a video where he […]
The first few months after a puppy enters into your life are filled with joy, love and a hefty vet bill. It’s just a fact of life. Puppies cost a lot of money. Vet bills seem to get higher and higher up, and there’s heart worm and flea and tick medicine to buy. There are […]
Have you ever witnessed a dog reverse sneeze before? The first time I saw a dog reverse sneeze was my friend Sally on the playground. We were just running around chasing each other and decided to rest in the grass for a bit. All of a sudden, it looked like she was hyperventilating. Watching a dog […]
Napa is a puker. He’s not a crapper, but he’s definitely a puker. When he was a pup, he’d puke all the time. The only things we really knew were that he puked up yellow stuff, and he didn’t like to eat. We told our first vet that Napa didn’t like to eat. She said, […]
Please don’t gross out on me when I tell you that the reason for Napa’s bad breath has less to do with his mouth and more to do with his uh.. over-active anal glads. Those things are the worst. Because when they’re.. uh.. over-acting, dogs just wanna lick away. And then they want to lick […]
