Summer is HERE🥵☀️
While summertime is great for outdoor walks and days by the pool…it’s also super great for causing our pets to overheat!😱
Check out this infographic our friends at SPCA of Texas shared to learn what the signs of heatstroke are and see who are most at risk!
What do you do if your pet experiences any combination of these symptoms?
• Move them to a cool place🏡
• Start active cooling by using a cool (not cold) damp cloth over their body💧
• Travel to a veterinary office IMMEDIATELY🩺
We want your pets to enjoy summer, while also being safe!🩵 By limiting time outdoors during the mid day hours and always offering fresh water to drink, we can keep our pets happy, hydrated, and healthy!

So it’s time for your pets’ annual exam…but what vaccines do they need?😱

Q: What exactly is a microchip?
A: A microchip is a small, electronic chip enclosed in a glass cylinder that is about the same size as a grain of rice. It is activated by a scanner that is passed over the area, and the radio waves put out by the scanner activate the chip. The chip transmits the identification number to the scanner, which displays the number on the screen.
Q: How is a microchip implanted into an animal? Is it painful? Does it require surgery or anesthesia?
A: It is injected under the skin using a hypodermic needle. It is no more painful than a typical injection. No surgery or anesthesia is required—a microchip can be implanted during a routine veterinary office visit.
Q: Should I be concerned about my privacy if my pet is microchipped? Will someone be able to track me down?
A: No. You don't need to be concerned about your privacy. The information you provide to the manufacturer's microchip registry will be used to contact you in the event your pet is found and its microchip is scanned.
Q: Will a microchip really make it more likely for me to get my pet back if it is lost?
A: Definitely! In fact, a study of more than 7,700 stray animals at animal shelters in 23 states showed that microchipped animals are far more likely to be returned to their owners. In that study, microchipped stray dogs were returned to their owners at more than double the overall rate for all stray dogs. For stray cats, the difference in return rates was even more dramatic.
We want YOUR pets to find their way back to you, should they find themselves lost💚If you would like to get your pet microchipped, feel free to make an appointment with our team and we will be more than happy to help🥰

WHAT is this canine respiratory disease we are hearing about on the news and social media?😱
Veterinarians across the country are reporting a marked increase in the number of dogs with an acute respiratory infection. Cases range from mild to life threatening, sometimes deteriorating rapidly. Although respiratory diseases in dogs are not new, this particular strain has been somewhat non-responsive to common antibiotics😷 Diagnostic testing has not given the veterinary profession many answers, but here’s what we know thus far.
WHO is at risk and who is not?🦮
* Dogs in close quarters with other dogs, such as grooming salons/boarding facilities/day care/dog parks
* Overcrowded animal shelters
* Dogs who are not up to date on vaccines
* Humans and other species have NOT been reported to be at risk
HOW does my dog show symptoms?🤧
* Acute cough
* Sneezing
* Nasal discharge
* Fever
* Anorexia
* Lethargy
* Coughing may persist for weeks to months
* Highly contagious, rapidly spreading among dogs in close contact
Now the question we are all asking…HOW do I prevent my dog from getting sick?🙏🏻
* Make sure your dogs are up to date on their DHPP and Bordetella vaccines
* Avoid group settings such as day care/dog parks/boarding
* Disinfect animal housing areas thoroughly
* Promptly isolate dogs with respiratory symptoms and begin treatment as soon as possible
While there is still a lot we don’t know about this illness, we are doing everything we can to keep your pets safe and prevent spread in our area 💚 For daily updates and the most current research, visit the University of Florida Shelter Medicine website at https://sheltermedicine.vetmed.ufl.edu/2023/11/27/mysterious-respiratory-disease/.
✨As the new year rolls around, it’s a good time to get your pet up to date on vaccines and preventatives!✨
Our price list below is for our most common services, however if your pets needs something not listed, please feel free to ask our staff about options! We are happy to accommodate when possible!😊
Your pets means the world to you, and keeping them healthy means the world to us💚Give us a call at 304-342-5660 to make an appointment!
Happy early Thanksgiving!🍂🧡
