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.

Please share this post to help us reach the owners. 💔

🐾 A Friendly Reminder from Helen 🐾

Helen, the sweet stray who found her way to us last week, wants to remind everyone that we will not be seeing appointments today, Friday, August 16th. But don't worry! Our staff will still be available during normal business hours to answer your calls and fill any medication needs.

📢 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.

Thank you for understanding, and have a great day!

08/15/2024

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!

08/12/2024

📢 Important Notice: Schedule Update for Friday, August 16th

Dear clients,

Due to a death in Dr. Deforno’s family, we will not be seeing any appointments on Friday, August 16th. Our team is currently contacting all scheduled clients to reschedule their appointments.

Our staff will still be available during normal business hours to assist with phone calls and medication refills. For any emergency needs, we urge you to reach out to the local emergency veterinary facilities.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding during this difficult time. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your continued trust in East Market Veterinary Center.

🩺 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.

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. 🐕❤️

🐾 Too Cute Tuesday Alert! 🐾

Meet Karma and Willow, two adorable 8-week-old kittens who came in for their very first appointment today! 😻 These little furballs stole our hearts with their playful antics and sweet purrs. We’re so excited to watch them grow and be a part of their journey to a healthy and happy life.

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.

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.**

**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.

**🌞🐾 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.

🦷🐾 Even the healthiest-looking gums can hold surprises beneath the surface! This dog’s dental radiographs revealed the roots of a broken tooth that didn’t need any intervention. At East Market Veterinary Center, we include full mouth radiographs with every dental cleaning, because most of the tooth lies below the gumline—just like an iceberg. Regular dental check-ups help us keep your pet’s smile healthy, inside and out! #PetDentalCare #HealthySmiles #EastMarketVet

🚨 Blood Warning 🚨🐾 Ever wondered how a spay/neuter tattoo is done? Watch our quick guide and learn why this small mark is so important for your pet’s health! 🐶🐱🔍 This tattoo helps veterinarians identify spayed or neutered pets, preventing unnecessary surgeries. It’s a simple, quick, and safe procedure done while your pet is already under anesthesia for their spay/neuter surgery.🔑 Why is this important? 1. Avoid Unnecessary Surgeries: If your pet is ever lost and then found, the tattoo informs other vets that your pet has already been spayed/neutered. 2. Health Benefits: Spaying/neutering reduces the risk of certain cancers and infections, contributing to a longer, healthier life for your pet. 3. Population Control: Helps reduce the number of unwanted pets, contributing to fewer animals in shelters.📞 Have questions or need to schedule an appointment?

After those fun bloopers, let’s focus on the importance of pet safety. With July 4th being the #1 day for missing pets, microchipping is more crucial than ever. Each year, 10 million pets are lost in America, and millions end up in shelters. Sadly, only about 15% of unchipped dogs and 3% of unchipped cats make it back to their owners. In honor of Chip Your Pet Month, we encourage all pet owners to get their pets microchipped! Studies show that microchipped pets are over THREE times more likely to be reunited with their families. If your pet is already chipped, make sure your contact information is up to date to avoid any delays in reuniting with your furry friend. 🐾#chipyourpetmonth #chipyourpet #microchipyourpet #microchip #petsafety
