Cats & Critters Care Guides

At Cats & Critters, we strive to enhance the health and wellness of every pet.

Our Resources For You

Because small mammals are not routinely seen by many traditional practices, it can be difficult for owners to find reliable information about their unique animal. However, our team specializes in the care you need and is happy to connect you with the right resources and information to make informed decisions.

Diet, Husbandry & Care Guides
Just like cats and dogs, wellness exams are critical to the health and well-being of small mammal pets. Not only do these appointments aid in early detection and prevention, but they also allow us to review important information about your pet’s diet and proper husbandry. Read more here.

The behaviors of small mammal pets depend on a number of factors and the type of animal you own. For every issue, we take an individualized approach, assessing the history and environment of each pet. Inappropriate husbandry and lack of information can often be the cause of troublesome behaviors, so be sure to read up on the right way to care for your pet. For your convenience, we’ve compiled the following guides that detail the unique lifestyle needs of common small mammal pets:

Oral Care

Good dental and oral hygiene is imperative to your pet’s overall health. Left untreated, conditions such as gingivitis and periodontal disease can lead to pain, tooth loss, or even heart, liver, and kidney disease. Read more here.

Internal Medicine

Internal medicine refers to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions that affect the inside of your pet. Read more here.

Pet Nutrition

Feeding your pet a balanced diet that’s species-specific is important to establishing lifelong wellness. At Cats & Critters, we can help you design and implement a nutrition plan that keeps your pet both healthy and satisfied. Read more here.

Behavioral Counseling

Without question, having a pet adds great joy and pleasure to our lives. We love their loyalty and personalities and value their companionship as much as they do ours. However, to gain the most out of your relationship with your pet, it’s important to teach behaviors that will ensure his or her safety and enhance your everyday lives. Read more here.

Wellness and Preventative Care

Prevention is the backbone of good health, and regular wellness exams are integral to helping your pet live longer. We recommend yearly exams, although more frequent visits may be encouraged. For small mammal pets, regular check-ups are even more important since age-related conditions tend to develop more quickly in smaller animals. Read more here.

Veterinary Surgery

Hearing that your pet may have to undergo surgery can be a stressful experience for any owner. However, the team at Cats & Critters is committed to the safety and comfort of your pet during every procedure. Read more here.

X-Ray and Diagnostic Imaging

Identifying the source of health problems quickly and effectively is one of our main goals at Cats & Critters. Early detection can prevent small issues from becoming major concerns, and our team is well equipped with a range of diagnostic tools to help your pet. Read more here.

Specialty Referrals

If we determine your feline, small mammal, or exotic pet would benefit from specialized care, the team at Cats & Critters will refer you to one of our partner hospitals for appropriate treatment. Read more here.

Losing a pet is one of the most devastating and heartbreaking experiences a person can suffer. At Fairview, we understand how difficult this time is for you, and our trained and sympathetic veterinary staff will do everything we can to ease the burden while helping you make the right choices in your time of sorrow.
