If you missed our video last week, here's a flyer with the Black Friday promotions listed, and it starts TODAY! Call our office to make an appointment or come by and get some parasite prevention! Flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives are prescription products, so we have to have examined your pet within a year for you to purchase flea and tick prevention. For heartworm prevention, testing just needs to be done annually UNLESS your pet has been off of heartworm prevention for more than 6 months. If so, they will need to be retested for heartworm prior to purchasing heartworm prevention. Call or come by to take advantage of these deals and keep your pets healthy and protected!
