-Keep alcohol and table scraps away from your pet

Did you know that less than 10% of the pets that are unchipped will return home each year?
A microchip is a secure, reliable, permanent identification for your pet and the process is simple and affordable. Microchipping your pet can help ensure that if your pet goes missing, they can be identified and find their way back to you.
If your pet is chipped, make sure their information is up to date. To help keep pets close to their loved ones, share this post and remind your friends to !
🤧 Uh oh, you might not be the only one in your house dealing with allergies!

If you think your pet may be dealing with allergies, give us a call!

Is your pet scooting or licking their rear? It could be their a**l glands.
A**l glands are located on the rear of dogs and cats. The glands produce an oily, fishy-smelling fluid that helps with scent marking. Sometimes these glands can get impacted or infected.
Soft, consistent stool, as well as allergies, are common causes of irritation. If your pet is scooting, licking excessively, or showing signs of discomfort around their rear end, contact us! We will help to identify the cause and determine the best course of treatment.

With tomorrow being Hairball Awareness Day, we wanted to remind our cat parents about the importance of preventing hairballs.
Accumulated from excessive grooming, hairballs can build in your cat’s digestive system and either get coughed up or in some cases, need surgical removal.
If your cat is excessively vomiting, lethargic, loses their appetite, or has diarrhea or constipation, these may be signs of a blockage and you should contact our team immediately.

One of our sweet adorable patients came in for a wellness check up which included a heartworm test, that unfortunately came up positive for heartworms, seen in the video are microfilaria which we are able to see under the microscope with a sample of blood. Microfilariae grow and develop in the mosquito. When the mosquito bites another host, the larval worms pass from the mosquito into the skin, and travel to the lymph vessels. They grow into adult worms, a process that takes 6 months or so. But with immiticide treatment we can help get our patient back to normal. #heartwormpositive #spookyseason #underthemicroscope #cahlovespets #vetmed
Under the microscope... Comment what you think it could be! #creepycrawly #vetmed #veterinarymedicine #cahlovespets
