๐Ÿฑ Why is your cat always climbing to the highest spot?

Cats naturally seek out high places because they help them feel safe, observe their surroundings, and stay active. It's a normal instinct that allows them to explore their environment with confidence.

Providing safe climbing options like cat trees or window perches can help satisfy this natural behaviour while keeping your cat safe at home.

๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ Why Do Healthy Pets Still Need Vet Visits?

Many pet parents think vet visits are only needed when their pet is sick โ€” but prevention matters just as much.

Routine check-ups can help:
โœ” Detect health issues early
โœ” Monitor weight and nutrition
โœ” Check dental health
โœ” Keep vaccinations on track
โœ” Support long-term wellbeing

A pet that looks healthy can still have hidden issues developing quietly.

Regular care today can help your furry family member stay happier and healthier tomorrow ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

Pets are creatures of habit.

Eating slower, sleeping more, drinking differently, or acting quieter can sometimes be small clues that something feels different.

You know your pet best, noticing changes early matters โค๏ธ

Singapore weather can get warm fast, especially during afternoon walks.

A simple check before heading out:
Place your hand on the ground for a few seconds. If it feels too hot for you, it can be uncomfortable for your pet too.

Early morning or evening walks can help keep outdoor time safer โค๏ธ

"โค๏ธ Senior pets hold a special place in our hearts.

Theyโ€™ve been there through our routines, milestones, and everyday moments โ€” giving us love, comfort, and companionship every step of the way.

As pets grow older, they may need a little extra care, regular health monitoring, and added comfort to help them stay happy and healthy. Senior pets can be more prone to age-related changes such as dental disease, arthritis, weight changes, lumps, kidney or liver concerns, and changes in appetite, energy, or behaviour.

At My Family Vet, we offer senior pet health checks to help monitor your petโ€™s overall condition. Depending on your petโ€™s needs, this may include a physical examination, blood test, urine test, dental check, lump assessment, X-ray, or other recommended screening.

Regular check-ups can help us understand your petโ€™s health better and detect concerns earlier, so we can support them with the care they need.

Because after years of loving us, itโ€™s our turn to care for them. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’›

๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿพ Can colours affect your petโ€™s environment?

Pets do not see colours the same way humans do, but colours, lighting, bedding, toys, and the overall setup of their space can still help create a calmer and more comfortable environment.

๐Ÿฑ For cats, softer tones such as blue or green may help create a more peaceful-looking resting area, especially when paired with quiet spaces, hiding spots, and comfortable bedding.

๐Ÿถ For dogs, blue and yellow are easier for them to distinguish, which is why these colours can be useful when choosing toys, enrichment items, or bedding.

๐Ÿ’› You may have noticed that yellow is part of our clinicโ€™s colour theme too!
Yellow is one of the colours dogs can see more easily, and for people, it often gives a warm, bright, and welcoming impression. That is why we chose yellow as part of My Family Vetโ€™s look โ€” to help our clinic feel cheerful, approachable, and less scary for both pets and their owners.

โœจ More importantly, avoid overly bright lights, loud surroundings, and sudden changes in their space, as these can sometimes make pets feel more unsettled.

A cosy, safe, and calm environment can help support your petโ€™s overall well-being. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’›

At My Family Vet, we believe small changes at home can make a big difference in helping pets feel happy, comfortable, and secure.

๐Ÿพ *Did you know? Dogs can develop diabetes too?*

Meet *Elmi, our spirited Schnauzer patient. Diagnosed with diabetes in November 2025, Elmi certainly has a strong personality and likes things done her way! She is also a very interactive dog and has a uniquely amusing response whenever her owner says, *"See Dr Vanessa!" ๐Ÿ˜‚ (Check out the attached videos!)

Her dedicated family performs regular blood glucose checks at home using a glucometer and follows a strict diabetic management plan, including a prescription diet and multiple small meals throughout the day.

Thanks to their commitment, consistency, and excellent teamwork, Elmi's diabetes is now well controlled, and she is doing very well. ๐Ÿ’™

Some signs of diabetes in dogs to watch out for include:
๐Ÿ”น Drinking more water than usual
๐Ÿ”น Urinating more frequently
๐Ÿ”น Increased appetite
๐Ÿ”น Weight loss despite eating well
๐Ÿ”น Lethargy or reduced activity
๐Ÿ”น Development of cataracts or cloudy eyes

Early diagnosis and proper management can help diabetic pets continue to enjoy a happy and comfortable life.

Well done to Elmi and her amazing family for all their hard work and dedication! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ‘

"๐ŸŒพ Did you know hay should make up the majority of your rabbitโ€™s diet?

Many rabbit owners focus on pellets and treats, but hay is actually the foundation of a healthy rabbit diet.

Hay helps:
๐Ÿฐ Wear down continuously growing teeth
๐Ÿฐ Support healthy digestion
๐Ÿฐ Provide essential fibre for gut movement
๐Ÿฐ Encourage natural chewing and foraging behaviour

In fact, rabbits should have unlimited access to fresh grass hay every day.

A rabbit that eats plenty of hay is often a healthier rabbit! ๐Ÿ’›

If your rabbit is eating less hay than usual, dropping food, producing fewer droppings, or showing signs of dental discomfort, itโ€™s best to have them checked by a veterinarian.

๐Ÿ“ž Contact My Family Vet if you have any concerns about your rabbitโ€™s diet, teeth, or digestive health.
