Happy New Year 🐾

We have interviewed some of our patients and asked them about their resolutions for 2026. Here are some of their answers:

🐾 My New Year’s Resolutions (According to the dogs we asked):

• I will try not to eat things off the sidewalk… but no promises.
• I will go on more walks (and stop every 10 feet to sniff everything).
• I will work on my manners—especially when visitors arrive.
• I will keep my teeth healthier with chews, brushing, and dental checkups.
• I will take my preventatives every month like a good pup.
• I will maintain my beach body by exercising more and begging slightly less.
• I will remind my humans when it’s time for my wellness exam.

🐾 My New Year’s Resolutions (According to the cats we questioned):

• I will pretend I’m starving at all times, regardless of when I last ate.
• I will continue waking my humans at 3 a.m. for absolutely no reason.
• I will attend my wellness exam and scream like I’m being betrayed.
• I will take my monthly preventatives… while plotting revenge.
• I will knock things off counters to test gravity (it still works).
• I will sit directly on whatever my human is trying to use.
• I will nap aggressively and judge silently.

If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to give your pet the healthiest year possible, we’re here to help every step of the way. Give us a call to schedule an appointment or ask us how to get started on any of these goals.

Here’s to a year filled with wagging tails, gentle purrs, and lots of happy, healthy moments! 🐾✨
