Exercise is just as important for your dog as it is for you. And the best news is, getting exercise for one of you often translates into exercise for the other. It's a great way to spend time with your pet, bond over the exhilaration of exercise and play.

Did you know that each year over 100,000 pets are poisoned in the United States? Most of these incidents were caused by household items and foods many of us have in our homes at one time or another. While most of them are harmless to us when used properly, they can be extremely dangerous to dogs.

We've all been there before. Your dog is acting strange—maybe not eating well or seeming to limp a bit. Three minutes later, you're convinced Fido is suffering from heart failure—or maybe a rare genetic disorder—and you're panicking. What happened in those three minutes? We're guessing you consulted Dr. Google.

You've searched the world, the internet, and five galaxies to find the perfect castle for your kitty. Sparing no expense, you even spring for expedited shipping. Captain Whiskers will be SO happy!

Did you know that your veterinarian can help your dog gain relief from pain using the ancient technique of acupuncture? Men and women have been enjoying the benefits of acupuncture treatments for centuries, and now, at pet wellness clinics like Intermountain Pet Hospital, your dog can benefit as well.

Aside from routine visits for vaccinations, many of us wait until our pets are ill before we make another visit to the veterinarian. However, a wellness examination is one of the best ways to keep your pet in his best health ever. Problems that we may not be able to see can often be treated in their early stages.

When you get a new puppy or kitten, there is a lot that goes into the preventative care they need. One of the biggest decisions that you'll need to make initially is whether to spay/neuter your pet. While most vets will encourage you to spay or neuter, be sure to communicate with them about the decision and the risks and benefits associated with the surgery. Here are some things to take into account.

Staying hydrated is important. The same is true for our pets. While pets are especially susceptible to dehydration in the hot summer months, dehydration can strike at any time. Here are some tips to help keep your pet hydrated, as well as symptoms that may signal dehydration.

It's inevitable: at some point your pet will experience a health issue beyond your ability to cure. The Pet Wellness Center is here to help you deal with your dog's issues, such as chronic pain, arthritis, degenerative joint disease, stiffness, anxiety, recovery from injury and surgical recovery. Just when you need it the most, the clinic staff can be there to help your pet.

Have you considered the benefits of a holistic approach for pet illnesses? For example, even though it's a 2,000-year-old method from China, acupuncture still works wonders today.

Our Pet Wellness Clinic can help you perform this healing art on your dog.
