We do have to admit though…these are some very cute criminals 😉🚔
Are fleas making your pet’s life a scratchy mess? 👎
Here’s the scoop:
1️⃣: Prevent fleas with Bravecto & Sentinel all year round. (Depending on your veterinarian’s discretion, Bravecto might be needed every 2 months)
2️⃣: Still seeing fleas? Add Capstar to your routine several days a week for extra help.
3️⃣: Be patient! It can take up to 3 MONTHS to fully clear fleas from your home and yard.
4️⃣: Bathe your pet with Duoxo Shampoo to help with allergies and skin issues

Katara’s Journey 🦮🐾
“Dogust” 1st is the universal birthday for shelter dogs everywhere.
Katara is a 2 year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix who was rescued from the shelter when she was 9 months old. When her owner rescued her, she was underweight at 50 pounds, untrained, unsocialized, and scared. With lots of love, training, socialization, and a veterinarian recommended diet/lifestyle, she is now a wild and outgoing 70 pound sweetheart who gets to frolic in the sea, play with other dogs, and live her best life. ❤️
Today is the day to honor every shelter dog’s birthday and celebrate our pups that we rescued and adopted!
Thinking of rescuing a dog from your local shelter? The Drake Center for Veterinary Care is here to help you complete a thorough wellness exam to make sure your new furry friend is happy and healthy! This is #TheDrakeDifference

☀️ While summer means fun in the sun, remember your pets are much more sensitive to the heat and humidity than humans are. 🐶 Dr. Drake is sharing the best ways to protect your pet from heat exhaustion. 🐾 If your pet experiences symptoms like difficulty breathing, excessive panting, fever, change in gum color, lack of urine or dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, lethargy, etc. call us at 760-753-9393 right away and come in with your dog ASAP. 🐕
😺 In honor of #NationalMicrochippingMonth 🐾 here's a friendly reminder from Dr. Drake that your pet can get microchipped during any type of visit or procedure!
🐶 Microchips are a pet's permanent ID, lasting up to 25 years.
#️⃣ Each microchip has a unique number linked to your contact info, significantly increasing the chances of reuniting lost pets with their owners.
💉 Microchips are injected under the skin without requiring anesthesia or surgery, similar to a routine injection.
👩🏼💻 Remember, afterwards you must register your pet’s microchip online and always keep your contact information updated.
😸 It's #KittenSeason after all, so if you adopt a new furry friend, make sure to book an appointment for your sweet new baby by clicking the first link in our bio.
☎️ You can also call 760-753-9393 to request to get your pet microchipped.

❓P.S. Are you wondering what is involved in cat dental care?
🦷 Ideally, we would have you come in once a year so we can assess your cat’s mouth. Certain cats get this very specific dental disease called neck lesions, and those are very painful. We don’t really know the cause of them, and we don’t know why some cats get them and some cats don’t. So, it’s best that we see your cats at least once a year.
🐱 At the appointment, we will assess them and decide whether or not they need dentistry. If the cat is younger and they have a healthy mouth, we’ll have you start brushing their teeth. It’s amazing how many cats can be trained very well to have their teeth brushed once a day. You can get it done in just a couple minutes, and it can make a huge difference in the health of your cat’s mouth.
