🐾 Tuesday Tip: Keep Tabs on Your Cat’s Litter Box! 🐾

A clean litter box = a happy (and healthy!) cat. Here’s how to keep things fresh and spot potential issues early:✨ Scoop daily – Remove clumps and waste to keep the box appealing.🧼 Deep clean weekly – Empty, wash, and refill with fresh litter (2–4 inches deep).👃 Choose wisely – Use unscented litter; cats prefer mild smells.🔍 Monitor health – Changes in urine or stool color, amount, or smell can signal health problems.🐱 Watch behavior – Avoidance, over-digging, or anxiety near the box may indicate stress or medical issues.🏠 Set up for success – Give each cat their own box (plus one extra!) in quiet, private spots.Keeping a clean box not only keeps your home fresh but also helps you spot early signs of health or stress concerns. 💛#TuesdayTip #CatCare #HappyCats #HopeAnimalClinic ...

🐾 Fun Fact Friday: The Beagle’s “Flag” Tail! 🐶

Did you know that a purebred Beagle will always have some white on the tip of its tail? This signature feature is often called the “flag.” 🚩It’s not just for looks — that bright white tip was bred into Beagles so hunters could easily spot them in tall grass or brush while they were following a scent trail nose-first! 👃🌿The amount of white can vary from just a few hairs to a big patch, but for show Beagles, it’s a must-have according to the AKC breed standard.So next time you see a Beagle wagging that little white-tipped tail, you’ll know it’s a built-in beacon from generations of clever breeding! 💛🐾 ...
