If you notice your pet exhibiting symptoms such as chewing it's skin, itching ears or other areas, redness, ear infections, or digestive issues like vomiting and diarrhea, it's important to consult with your veterinarian.

Hey everyone, today is Cat World Domination Day! As a proud feline enthusiast, I know my beloved cats are one step closer to taking over the world. They are cute, cuddly, and secretly plotting to control us all. So, let's embrace our feline overlords and give them the appreciation they deserve.

Happy Cat World Domination Day! 🐾😸

As pet owners, we love our furry companions, but unfortunately, fleas love them too! Fleas are not only annoying pests that cause discomfort to our pets, but they can also carry harmful diseases like Tapeworm and Cat Scratch Fever and serious conditions like Anemia and Flea Allergy Dermatitis. They are also carriers of Plague and Typhus!

As we head into the warmer months, it's important to take precautions to prevent an infestation. Regularly checking and treating our pets with flea preventative medication can go a long way in keeping them and our homes flea-free.

Let's be proactive in protecting ourselves and our pets from the dangers of fleas. 🐾🌞

Happy Veterinary Appreciation Day!! ❤️🩺❤️ This day doesn’t just include the doctor but the entire staff! The front desk teams who are so excited to see your pets every time they come in; the technicians who perform minor treatments and know how to keep your pet calm and feeling safe; the veterinary assistants who hold them close and make sure they feel loved; the kennel staff who make them feel at home with comfy kennels, snuggles, walks and treats.

Their dedication and hard work are what make it possible for us to care for our beloved furry friends.

🚫 Ticks that attach to your pets can carry diseases like Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Ehrlichiosis, among others. These diseases not only harm pets, but humans can also catch them. Lyme, for example, a bacterial infection caused by a bite from an infected black-legged (Deer) tick, leaves many with severe symptoms, like fever, joint pain, and headaches.

🐾It is vital to protect your pets, family, and yourself from tick bites by taking all preventive measures possible. This includes limiting outdoor activities in highly infested areas, using tick monthly preventive treatments, and checking yourself or your pet for ticks thoroughly. REMEMBER, PROMPT TREATMENT IS PARAMOUNT IF YOU OR YOUR PET HAVE BEEN BITTEN BY A TICK.

📞Call us today and discover the best way to keep you and your pet safe from these pesky critters!

Heartworm Disease is a serious and potentially fatal disease caused by parasitic worms that inhabit the cardiovascular system of an animal. It is spread through mosquito bites and can affect dogs and cats.

Heartworm can be very costly to treat and can cause long-term damage to pets' health if left untreated. Regular check-ups with a veterinarian and using preventive medication can help prevent heartworm infection in pets. IT ONLY TAKES ONE MOSQUITO BITE TO EXPOSE YOUR PET TO THIS DISEASE, SO PREVENTION IS KEY, and since mosquitoes don’t care about your windows and doors, even “indoor only” pets are at risk.

We all want our pets to live happy, healthy lives. At the end of the day, our pets rely on us for their well-being. Protecting them from Heartworm Disease should be a top priority. Give us a call today to make sure your pet is protected from heartworm disease.

🐾 THANK YOU DR. PATERSON 🐾

She is one of the kindest people I know ❤️ Thank you Dr. Paterson from the bottom of my heart. I truly appreciate your kindness and support of the dogs!

From Dr. Paterson: "You have done a great job and I know it hasn't been easy! I hope it helps you a bit to not have that burden on your shoulders.😍"

🦟🪱Did you know that heartworm, fleas, and ticks can cause major illnesses that can harm our pets? They can be costly and take a serious toll on your pet's health if these pests invade, BUT WE CAN PREVENT IT!

We recommend protecting your pets by using monthly medications designed to prevent and treat infections of heartworm, fleas, and ticks. Medications purchased from licensed veterinarians are safer and backed by the manufacturer unlike medications purchased elsewhere.

Did you know that regular physical exams for your pets can help ensure they stay healthy, catch issues early and avoid bigger problems down the road? It’s like getting an annual check-up with your local doctor, but for your furry friends!

Veterinarians do a full evaluation of your pet’s vital signs, weight and behavior, and check for conditions such as dental disease, infections, arthritis, allergies and many others. Not to mention, they can offer advice on preventative care, feeding habits, exercise routines, and vaccinations.

Remember, even pets that appear healthy on the surface can still develop underlying health issues that can easily go unnoticed. That's why regular check-ups are crucial in keeping them happy and healthy!

So take care of your pets and schedule a physical examination with your vet today!

🩸Did you know that regular labwork is one of the BEST ways to detect potentially hidden and silent diseases, even before any outward symptoms show. A simple test allows for early detection and intervention; meaning we can often start treatment before your pet's condition becomes too serious or life-threatening.

Why is early detection so important?

🐾The sooner we can identify potential health issues, the easier it is to start appropriate therapies to slow or stop the progression of the disease.

🐾Early intervention also means we may be able to avoid emergency vet visits or surgeries with expensive in medical bills – which is a savings for pet parents.

🐾Perhaps most importantly, early disease detection increases the likelihood of a complete recovery, or at least gives additional quality time and comfort. Many medical conditions don't display symptoms in their early stages and may ONLY be picked up on through lab work, altering decisions and bringing clarity early on.

We recommend pets get bloodwork every six to twelve months, depending on age, as part of their overall healthy-pet checkup. Remember, just like labwork for annual physicals in humans, a complete preventive care test is essential to maintain pet wellness. PREVENTION IS KEY - so schedule labwork next time you visit us! 🐱💕🐶

Starting on August 1, all dogs entering the U.S. (including those that left the U.S. and are returning, and regardless of the country they are coming from) must be:
• healthy upon arrival
• at least 6 months of age
• microchipped
• accompanied by a CDC Dog Import Form receipt and required vaccination and veterinary documents.

Additional requirements may apply depending on where the dog has been in the last 6 months and whether or not the dog was vaccinated in the United States.

At McCleary Animal Hospital, we understand the importance of preventive care for pets. Vaccines play a critical role in safeguarding the health and well-being of your furry friend. Just like humans, animals can contract diseases that can cause severe health problems and, in some cases, prove fatal.

Vaccinations work by strengthening your pet’s immune system against harmful diseases and can effectively prevent illness from occurring in the future. By ensuring your pet receives regular vaccinations, you can drastically minimize its likelihood of getting sick, save money on vet bills, and prolong its life. Vaccines are also crucial because they aid in minimizing the spread of diseases, lowering the likelihood of widespread outbreaks and epidemics upon pets.

It is our mission is to provide your pets with superior preventive care to give you peace of mind, knowing that your pet is at a minimal risk of health complications.

📢 Calling all pet parents! 🐾 With the warmer arriving, it's more important than ever to protect your pets from parasites. Here are some things to keep in mind:

🐛 Fleas and ticks: These pesky critters can be a real nuisance for your pet and can lead to serious health issues. Make sure your pet is on a preventative medication to keep them protected.

🐾 Intestinal parasites: Parasites like hookworm, roundworm and tapeworm can cause serious health problems for your furry friend. Prevention starts with regular checkups, so don't skip those routine appointments with your vet.

🦟 Heartworm: Pets can contract heartworm if they're bitten by an infected mosquito. These parasites can ultimately lead to heart and lung damage and even death. The good news is that there are several prevention options available - ask your vet about the best choice for your fur-kid.

When it comes to protecting your pets from parasites, prevention is key. Make sure you're doing all you can to keep your furry friend healthy and happy! 🌞🐾

For the past few weeks we have been talking weight loss! So, what are some safe exercises you can do with your furry friends? Regular exercise is essential in promoting a healthy weight and life for our pets, and there are plenty of safe activities to choose from!

For our pup pals, taking them on a walk or jog is an excellent way to get their heart pumping and boost their fitness level. Playing fetch or other games that encourage movement can also keep them active!

When it comes to our feline friends, setting up a play area with toys and scratching posts can be a fun way to keep them entertained while staying active. Keep their predatory instincts satisfied, encourage them to climb and jump by providing camouflage and high spaces within your home.

Remember to supervise your pets during exercise and keep their health status in mind. Endurance, joint impact, and high-intensity activities should only be encouraged when the pet's age, size, and medical history allow. With these precautions in mind, you'll have happy and healthy fur babies in no time. Let's keep our pets active and happy!
