Stay cool, stay hydrated! 💧🐾
July is National Pet Hydration Awareness Month, reminding us to keep our furry friends refreshed and revitalized during the summer heat to help prevent dehydration and/or heatstroke. Remember to provide fresh water and shade, especially during outdoor adventures. Let's keep those tails wagging and tongues lapping with plenty of H2O!
Please share to help spread awareness!

Remember, now that it's above zero ticks are out there, and the black-legged tick can carry Lyme disease.

An important part of your pet’s check-up is receiving needed vaccinations as determined by your veterinarian. Many vaccines require regular booster doses in order to continue helping protect your pet from disease. Your pet’s vaccines may even change from one year to the next depending on whether there have been any changes to your pet’s activities or where you live.
If you have any questions or would like to schedule your pet’s wellness visit, please contact us https://vernonvetclinic.com/
Just like dogs, cats require regular check-ups to ensure they are living their best life.
But let’s face it. Herding cats can be like… herding cats. Raise your scratched hand if you’ve ever put a nervous cat in a carrier resulting in cattoos up your arms. 🙋
Let's take a look at how to get your cat into their carrier and prepare them for their vet visit.
In case you didn't know, Monday Aug. 22 is "Take Your Cat to the Vet Day" - a great time to schedule an appointment for your cat's next (or maybe first) visit. 😽 #MeowMonth
Here at our clinic, we are often asked by owners of indoor cats whether vaccination is really necessary. To that we say, ‘Let's talk!’
Vaccination helps protect your cat from serious diseases. If you have any questions or would like to schedule your pet’s wellness visit, please contact us https://vernonvetclinic.com/
When you hear the words ‘kennel cough’, what comes to mind? Places where large numbers of dogs come together, such as a boarding facility or day care centre?
It’s important to know that kennel cough can happen any time dogs interact—during daily
walks, at the dog park, during playdates. This highly contagious respiratory disease can even spread if the contact between dogs is very brief, such as during training classes or in an elevator.
Vaccination can help protect your dog from kennel cough. Schedule your dog’s visit,
and help keep your pet safe when socializing. https://vernonvetclinic.com/
⚠️ CREEPY CRAWLERS BELOW
Tick season is upon us - has your pet been started on their recommended seasonal tick preventative yet? We start to see ticks as early as March, right through until September/October.
We are seeing many pets in for Technician appointments for proper removal of these creepy crawlers🐾
One of the main concerns with ticks is that they can transmit diseases such as Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Ehrlichiosis. These are diseases that can cause serious health consequences and can be hard to treat. Another concern is that female ticks can cause tick paralysis which as it sounds, is a rapidly progressive and life threatening emergency. These concerns are just some of the reasons to keep your pet up to date on their tick prevention.
We have many options available for prescription tick prevention such as Nexgard, Nexgard Spectra, Nexgard Combo, Bravecto, Revolution, and more. If you haven’t already, please give us a call to discuss which might be best suited for your pet!🐾 We do require 24 hour notice for all prescription refills.
