🇺🇸🐾 Honoring Our Four-Legged Heroes on K9 Veterans Day 🐾🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate K9 Veterans Day, a day dedicated to the brave military and working dogs who have served alongside our armed forces, law enforcement, and search-and-rescue teams. These incredible canines have protected, comforted, and saved countless lives with their loyalty, intelligence, and courage.

From detecting dangers to providing emotional support, their service is truly remarkable. We extend our deepest gratitude to all the working dogs, past and present, who have dedicated their lives to keeping us safe. 🐕❤️

🐾 Furry Friend Friday! 🐾

This week, our favorite Furry Friend is Willow, a beautiful and brave German Shepherd who visited us for her ProHeart injection! 🐶💉💛 Willow is always such a sweetheart during her visits, and we love seeing her wagging tail and big, happy smile.

ProHeart provides long-lasting protection against heartworms, giving pet parents peace of mind and keeping dogs like Willow happy and healthy year-round.

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition caused by parasites transmitted through mosquito bites. It can affect pets of all ages, and because symptoms often don’t appear until the disease has progressed, prevention is key!

While there isn’t an injectable option like ProHeart for our feline friends, we do have topical preventatives available to help protect them. Since cats can be affected by heartworm disease, just like dogs, prevention is the best way to keep them safe!

Give Willow some love in the comments! And if your pet isn’t on heartworm prevention, call us today to learn about your options! We’re here to help keep your furry friends safe!

🐾 Pet Dental Health Awareness Month🐾

For the entire month of February, we are doing Free "Lip Flip" exams! Set yours up today to see if your pet could benefit from a dental cleaning!

Did you know that over 80% of pets show signs of dental disease by age 3? Your pet’s oral health is about more than just a bright smile, it’s essential for their overall health and happiness.

Why Dental Care Matters

• Prevents Pain: Tartar buildup, gum disease, and broken teeth can cause significant discomfort.

• Avoids Serious Illness: Untreated dental disease can lead to infections that spread to the heart, kidneys, and liver.

• Improves Quality of Life: Clean teeth mean your pet can eat, chew, and play without pain!

Signs Your Pet May Need a Dental Checkup

• Bad breath (it’s not normal!)
• Difficulty eating or chewing
• Swollen, red, or bleeding gums
• Yellow or brown tartar buildup
• Loose or missing teeth

How We Can Help

Professional dental cleanings remove harmful tartar and bacteria, protecting your pet from pain and potential health issues. Combined with at-home care, regular cleanings are the best way to keep their teeth and gums healthy.

📞 Call us to book an appointment and give your pet the healthy smile they deserve!

A healthy mouth = a happy pet!
