As the temperature drops, it's easy to assume that heartworm and flea prevention for your pets can take a back seat. However, these pesky parasites don't hibernate in the winter, and they can still pose a threat to your beloved fur babies. Here's why winter prevention is crucial:
1. Heartworms Don't Hibernate: Heartworm-carrying mosquitoes may be less active in the cold, but they're not gone. Heartworm disease can be devastating, and prevention is the best defense.
2. Fleas Find Warm Havens: Fleas can infest your home year-round. With the cozy warmth inside, your pets can still fall victim to fleas. Prevention is the key to keeping them itch-free.

Stay consistent, continue your pet's heartworm and flea prevention regimen throughout the winter. Consistency is key to keeping them safe.

On this Veterans Day, we honor not only the heroes in uniform but also the four-legged companions who served alongside them. Military working dogs have provided loyalty, protection, and service in times of need, just as you have. Their bond with service members is a testament to the strength and courage found in all who serve.

As a veterinary practice dedicated to the well-being of animals, we understand the special role that pets play in the lives of veterans and their families. Whether they offer companionship, emotional support, or assistance, these pets are true heroes in their own right.

To all who have served, and to those who continue to serve, thank you. Your service will never be forgotten. We are honored to serve you and your pets with the same dedication and care that you have shown to our nation.

Candle Toxicity Awareness: Protecting Our Feathered Friends!

Did you know that some candles can pose a hidden danger to our beloved birds? Many candles, especially those scented or made from certain materials, can release harmful chemicals when burned. These toxins, like lead and paraffin, can be dangerous to our feathered friends, affecting their respiratory systems and overall health.

Let's be mindful and considerate! Here are a few tips to protect our avian companions:
1. Opt for Bird-Safe Candles: Look for candles specifically labeled as "bird-safe" or "non-toxic" to ensure they are free from harmful chemicals.
2. Choose Soy or Beeswax Candles: These options are often safer as they don't release toxic fumes like paraffin candles.
3. Well-Ventilated Areas: If you must use conventional candles, make sure the room is well-ventilated, and keep your feathered friend away from the area.
4. Supervise Candle Use: Never leave burning candles unattended, especially if you have a curious bird around.
5. Use Candle Alternatives: Explore LED candles, flameless options, or essential oil diffusers for a safer and bird-friendly ambiance.

Let's spread the word to protect our beautiful birds! Share this post and raise awareness about the potential hazards of candles on our feathered companions. Together, we can create a safer environment for all.
