EXPERTS

Q: IS MY HOME VETERINARY CLINIC
VISIT BEST FOR MY PET?
A: Mobile services are a wonderful extension of our clinic for many
individuals, including pet parents
with limited mobility or difficult
schedules, pets with limited mobility,
or pets that become stressed in foreign surroundings. However, certain
procedures are best performed in
a full-service hospital and at those
times, you can rest easy knowing
that the staff that you and your pets
are familiar with will be handling
care in the hospital setting.

regardless of their breed.

Q: HOW CAN I HELP OUR LOCAL
SHELTER DOGS EVEN IF I CAN'T
ADOPT RIGHT NOW?
A: There are a lot of ways to help the
dogs in our shelters. Fostering is
generally short-term and helps dogs
relax and learn to socialize. Shelters
are always in need of volunteer support, including walking and socializing dogs.

Q: THERE ARE SO MANY CHOICES
OF DOG FOOD, HOW DO I DECIDE
WHICH ONE IS BEST FOR MY DOG?
A: At Nature's Emporium we take the
time to get to know you and your dog.
Does your dog itch, scratch or shed?
Is your dog overweight, underweight,
diabetic or have food allergies? Once
we know your dog's health profile, we
can recommend the best choices of
foods to feed your special companion.

Q: WHY HIRE A PET SITTER?
A: Many people have pets that are
older, special needs or just anxious. 

These pets can become stressed
and/or sick by unfamiliar and loud
surroundings. These conditions
can leave your pet feeling out of
sorts or worse. With our service,
your pets will enjoy being at home,
playing with their own toys and will
be cheerfully awaiting your return. 
When returning home, no extra stops
or trips to pick up the pets. They are
already happy and home.

A: Answer: Advanced dentistry encompasses the highest standard of
care with veterinary dentistry. Our
veterinarians and veterinary technicians have received specialized
training to perform proper anesthetic
monitoring, take and interpret dental
X-rays and veterinarians can accurately perform surgical extractions
of teeth.
