Have a dog that gets itchy skin in the summer months? Shampoo therapy can help alleviate their symptoms. Frequent bathing with therapeutic shampoo designed specifically for dogs can help their itchy and inflamed skin. Routinely bathing your dog also rinses out frequent allergens that get into their fur from walks. Ask us about which therapeutic shampoos are right for your dog!

Our grumpy old Simon hated getting brushed or having his nails trimmed. We used some pain medication Hydromorphone to sedate him and provide him relief from his arthritis, and this allowed us to give him a lion cut 🦁. With his new hair cut and trimmed nails he is a much happier old man now! Matted fur that is tight to the skin is very uncomfortable and painful, we removed any matts and prevented the need to brush him with this cut. Now to find him a Halloween sweater! 🎃
🛑🚨Public Safety Announcement!🚨🛑 Does the water in your local lake look different? 🔵Is the surface colored blue or green? If so, that pond water may be covered with a floating layer of blue-green algae that can be deadly☠.

Humans may develop contact dermatitis from exposure to blue-green algae, so if you notice red or irritated skin after swimming, call your doctor. 🧐🗒Signs my animal have been poisoned? - Blue-green algae can produce two types of toxins, microcystins and anatoxins. - Microcystins: • Weakness • Lethargy • Lack of appetite • Vomiting🤮 • Diarrhea (dark, tarry stool)💩 • Bleeding • Pale gums • Jaundice (yellow tint to gums and skin)😷 • Shock • Seizures • Collapse and coma • Death - Anatoxins: • Weakness or inability to walk • Excessive salivation🤤 • Excessive tearing😭 • Difficulty breathing • Blue discoloration of skin and mucous membranes • Tremors • Seizures • Muscle rigidity • Paralysis • Disorientation • Coma • Death Please call your Vet immediately if exposure is suspected. ⚠️⚠️⚠️Please also remember: DO NOT BOIL THE WATER.
