A kind-hearted individual recently brought in a cat that was found after being hit by a car near Power Plant Road in Blairsville. Unfortunately, the cat was already actively passing away when it arrived. We humanely ended its suffering to provide peace in its final moments.

The cat was a sandy orange, long-haired feline wearing a purple flea or calming collar. If you recognize this description, we want you to know what happened and extend our deepest sympathies.

📢 Today is the deadline to turn in your coloring pages! Judging starts Monday morning, so make sure to get those creative masterpieces to us by the end of the day.

We love to see our patients get a nice reward after a visit to see us. We often get asked how to get pets more comfortable in the car/on trips outside the home. A visit to Tails on the Town will help. While we are keeping them healthy, every car ride leading to a vet trip would make many pets hesitant to go on a trip. Make some happy stops too!

🩺 Medical Monday: Keeping Your Pets Healthy and Happy! 🩺

Preventive care is essential to ensure your furry friends lead long, healthy, and joyful lives! Here’s why regular check-ups and preventive measures are crucial:

✨ Early Detection: Regular vet visits help catch potential health issues early, making treatment easier and more effective.

✨ Vaccinations: Keep your pets protected from harmful diseases with timely vaccinations.

✨ Parasite Prevention: Regular screenings and preventive treatments can protect your pets from fleas, ticks, and heartworms.

✨ Dental Health: Routine dental check-ups and cleanings prevent dental disease and keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy.

✨ Nutrition and Weight Management: Ensure your pets maintain a healthy weight with the right diet and exercise plan.

✨ Senior Pet Care: As pets age, preventive care helps manage age-related conditions and ensures your senior pets stay comfortable.

Schedule your pet’s next check-up at East Market Veterinary Center today and keep them happy and healthy for years to come! 🐶🐱

As the seasons change, so do the risks for our furry companions. 🐶🐱 That's why it's crucial to keep up with year-round flea and tick prevention to ensure your pet stays safe and healthy all year long! 🌟

Fleas and ticks aren't just a nuisance—they can pose serious health risks to our pets, including skin irritation, allergic reactions, and the transmission of dangerous diseases like Lyme disease. In western Pennsylvania, our mild winters are not cold enough to kill fleas and ticks, making it essential to maintain prevention efforts year-round. ❄️🐾

Fortunately, there are many safe and effective options for flea and tick prevention available, including topical treatments, oral medications, and collars. 🏥💊 We can help you choose the best option for your pet based on their lifestyle, health history, and risk factors.

By staying proactive with flea and tick prevention, you can protect your pet from discomfort and disease while enjoying peace of mind knowing they're happy and healthy by your side. 🐕❤️

Fireworks can be frightening and dangerous for our pets. Here are a few tips to keep your furry friends safe:
- Keep them indoors during fireworks displays.
- Create a quiet, safe space where they can retreat.
- Ensure they have up-to-date identification in case they get scared and run off.

If you guessed “A. 3” you are correct! Most pets show signs of dental disease by age 3. 🐾🦷

Everyone knows that routine dental visits are important for the health of our teeth, but did you know it’s just as important for your pet? Dental disease results from the buildup of bacteria, plaque, and tartar on teeth and beneath the gum line, causing pain. If left untreated, it can lead to systemic health issues as bacteria enter the bloodstream and affect vital organs.

Small changes in your pet's dental care routine can make a huge difference. Here are some tips to help you get started:
- 🪥 Brush your pet's teeth at least once per day.
- 🦴 Give a dental chew daily.
- 🧸 Trade out old toys for toys that promote dental health.
- 📅 Schedule an annual dental cleaning.

Finding the right chews and treats that promote dental health can be overwhelming, so we’re making it easier! The Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) has a comprehensive list of veterinary-recommended dental treats, chews, and more that are safe and effective for your pets.

📢 **Important Update from East Market Veterinary Center** 📢

Dear Valued Clients,

We hope this message finds you and your furry friends well. At East Market Veterinary Center, our priority is to provide the highest quality care for your pets. To ensure we can continue offering the best service and manage our schedule effectively, we are introducing a new policy.

🔹 **Effective today, June 8, 2024, we will be implementing a $100 booking fee for all surgical appointments.**

This change comes in response to a growing number of last-minute cancellations, which impact our ability to provide timely care to other pets in need. The booking fee will help us better manage our schedule and ensure that we can continue to serve all our patients efficiently.

**Key Points:**
- The $100 booking fee will be required at the time of scheduling any surgical procedure.
- This fee will be applied towards the total cost of the surgery.
- If you need to reschedule or cancel, please do so at least 48 hours in advance to receive a full refund of the booking fee.
- **Please note, this does not apply to any previously scheduled surgeries.**

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we strive to provide the best care for all our patients. If you have any questions or need further information, please don't hesitate to contact us at 724-793-1779 or [email protected].

Thank you for being a part of the East Market Veterinary Center family! 🐾

**🌞🐾 Protect Your Pets from Heat Stroke 🐾🌞**

With rising temperatures, it's essential to be aware of the risk of heat stroke in our furry companions. Heat stroke can be life-threatening for pets, but with the right knowledge and precautions, we can keep them safe.

From avoiding strenuous exercise during the hottest parts of the day to providing plenty of shade and water, there are steps you can take to prevent heat-related emergencies. Remember to never leave your pet in a parked car, as temperatures can skyrocket dangerously high in just minutes.

Learn more about the signs, symptoms, and prevention of heat stroke in pets: https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951333

Let's work together to keep our pets cool, comfortable, and safe during the summer months! 🌞🐶🐱
